FTM, AAVE, TAO see double-digit gains as Bitcoin retests $57k

  • Fantom (FTM), Bittensor (TAO) and Aave (AAVE) are among the biggest gainers in the past 24 hours.
  • The altcoins are seeing the most upside action in the top 100 coins by market cap as of 4pm ET on September 9.
  • Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) has bounced above $57,000 after revisiting sub-$54k over the weekend.

FTM, AAVE and TAO tokens are all up double digits, with Bittensor price up more than 16% to change hands above $286.

On the other hand, AAVE price looked to bounce after a dedicated Ether.fi (ETHFI) market went live on Aave. The deployment allows users to borrow stablecoins, including USDC, PYUSD and FRAX against their liquid staking tokens weETH.
