Trump Meme Coin, Render and Pi See Double-Digit Rallies as Bitcoin Rises

Bitcoin has been locked in a relatively tight trading range for weeks. But that hasn’t stopped a few altcoins from staging double-digit rallies fueled by specific catalysts and a broad return of risk appetite.

The leading cryptocurrency has traded between roughly $73,000 and $62,000 for the past five weeks. Over the last 24 hours, Bitcoin has shown renewed resilience, climbing nearly 3% to trade at $72,300, according to crypto price aggregator CoinGecko. This stabilization comes as exchange-traded fund inflows have continued to stabilize over the past two weeks, Decrypt previously reported.

The Official Trump token has surged 48% over 24 hours, coinciding with an announcement for a “Crypto and Business Conference” with President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago.

Other altcoins, such as Pi Network and Render, are up nearly 15% over 24 hours. The gains in Pi Network follow U.S. exchange Kraken’s confirmation of a token listing. Pi Network is a mobile-first cryptocurrency ecosystem founded by Stanford PhDs that has transitioned from a social experiment into a live blockchain. Its popularity stems from a unique “mobile mining” mechanism where over 60 million users participate by checking in daily.

Render, a token in the artificial intelligence category, has soared 14% amid ongoing AI developments, extending a rally that began on March 10 and pushing its monthly gains to 45.5%.

“Altcoins like Trump memecoins, Render, and Pi Network are ripping higher on their own stories: political hype and policy teases fuel $TRUMP, AI/GPU momentum and burns lift Render, while Pi rides pre-Pi Day upgrades, Kraken listing buzz, and retail FOMO into +20-30% moves,” Andri Fauzan Adziima, research lead at Singapore-based crypto exchange Bitrue, told Decrypt.

This selective altcoin activity, alongside Bitcoin’s stabilization, signals capital rotating into specific narratives as broader market sentiment improves. It suggests a targeted play rather than a universal altseason, with fresh catalysts driving individual token performance.

“Bitcoin meanwhile keeps carving higher highs and lows around $70,000-$72,000, backed by steady-to-strong ETF inflows (hundreds of millions daily, BlackRock dominating) and shrinking exchange supply, giving this recovery real legs for $80,000+ if the bid holds,” Adziima added.

The bigger picture points to a “classic risk-on relief rally,” according to Adziima.

Meanwhile, easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East—with President Trump reportedly signaling a quick Iran wind-down and oil prices sliding—could encourage capital to flow back into crypto markets.
