Data from crypto analytics platform CoinGecko shows that several tokens have recently surged in search interest, reflecting growing curiosity and market activity. Among the most talked-about assets are Pudgy Penguins (PENGU), Pi coin (PI), and Hyperliquid (HYPE), which currently rank among the platform’s most trending coins.
Pi Network Token Tops CoinGecko Trending List
Asset tracker CoinGecko recently revealed the top tokens in its trending coin section in a post on X. According to the platform, Pi (PI) clinched the top spot among the most-searched cryptocurrencies, highlighting growing interest among market participants.
It is worth noting that this widespread attention comes ahead of the highly anticipated Pi Day, an annual event widely celebrated by the Pi Network community and scheduled for March 14. The rising interest also coincides with the completion of the network’s V20.2 node upgrade, which aims to improve scalability, speed, and overall network performance.
The increased attention also comes ahead of a strategic listing on the Kraken crypto exchange, with trading set to commence on March 13, 2026. Interestingly, the Pi coin has also recorded strong price performance. Data from asset tracker CoinGecko shows the token is up 10.2% over the past 24 hours, outperforming the broader altcoin market. At the time of writing, Pi is trading around $0.25 as investors closely monitor developments in the ecosystem.

Hyperliquid Secures Second Spot on Trending List
Hyperliquid (HYPE) has also secured a place among CoinGecko’s top trending cryptocurrencies, ranking second on the platform’s trending coin list. Over the past two weeks, the project has gained widespread attention in the market as Real World Asset (RWA) trading on the decentralized exchange smashed records, surpassing $1.3 billion in open interest and $1.4 billion in weekend trading volume.
Further, oil-linked trading volume on the platform surged to $1.2 billion amid Iranian attacks on shipping vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, following escalating tensions in the ongoing US–Iran conflict.
The spike in activity highlights the growing demand for decentralized derivatives platforms that can offer exposure to global macro-driven trading opportunities. According to CoinGecko, HYPE is up 6.2% and trading above $37, reflecting sustained investor interest as the project continues to gain traction in the decentralized trading sector.
Pudgy Penguins Remain Among Trending Altcoins
Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) has also captured significant attention on CoinGecko’s trending list. At the time of the post, Pudgy Penguins had clinched the first spot on the platform’s trending rankings as altcoins continued to capture broader market attention. However, the token has since slid to the sixth position but remains among the most searched cryptocurrencies.
It is worth noting that the project, originally known for its popular NFT collection, has continued to expand its presence in the broader Web3 space. More fascinating is that the project has positioned itself not just as an NFT brand but as a platform for recognizable consumer-facing Web3 products.
According to data from asset tracker CoinGecko, PENGU is currently trading around $0.00711 and is up roughly 1.1% in the past 24 hours, reflecting sustained interest in the token as investors continue to explore emerging altcoin opportunities.
