3 Big-name Cryptos That Survived This Week’s Downturn: AIOZ, SUI, XDC

Key Takeaways

• Although the overall crypto market dipped last week, some larger coins and tokens defied the trends. 
• AIOZ climbed by 18.6%, while SUI was up 17.34%. 
• Meanwhile, XDC jumped by 11.17%. 

After a bullish last couple of months of 2024, the crypto market has been given a dose of reality in 2025. Prices are down, with the overall cryptocurrency market cap slumping by about 3% in the week to Jan. 10.

However, it hasn’t all been doom and gloom for the world of crypto.

Let’s take a look at three cryptocurrencies in the top 100 that have defied the trend to rally by more than 10%, over the last seven days. 

AIOZ Network (AIOZ): Up 18.6%

The AIOZ Network is a platform designed to help change the way people stream online content.

Its AIOZ token had a very strong 2024, rising from around $0.13 at the start of the year to break past the dollar in November and December.

AIOZ’s work in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector helped it succeed in January 2025. On Jan. 3, it was worth about $0.806. 

A surge led it to a high of more than $1.15 on Jan. 6, and while it fell from that peak, its Jan. 10 price of about $0.9675 meant it had risen by nearly 20%, over a week. 

Sui (SUI): Up 17.34%

Sui, named after the Japanese water element, has performed well over the last 12 months, with a rise in total value locked (TVL) helping push its price up by somewhere in the region of 400% across 2024.

It started the new year much as it has ended the last one. On Jan. 6, 2025, it reached the latest in a series of all-time highs when it traded at $5.35. 

Although it has dipped since then, it has climbed by more than 15% from around $4.30, on Jan. 3, to about $5.10, on Jan. 10. 

XDC Network (XDC): Up 11.17%

After struggling throughout most of 2024, the XDC Network’s XDC coin bloomed in late 2024 as the market thrived, driven by optimism after Donald Trump’s re-election to the U.S. presidency.

XDC, which supports a platform that aims to combine the best bits of private and public blockchains, also enjoyed a positive start to 2025. 

On Jan. 3, it was worth around $0.0829. By Jan. 10, however, it had increased by more than 10% to trade at about $0.0962.
