<p>Following SEI is Astar (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/astar/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ASTR</a>), a project that aids developers in constructing decentralized applications (dapps) and Layer 2 solutions by offering interoperable web 3.0 infrastructure, financial incentives, and incubation programs. At the time of writing, ASTR was sitting at $0.1615, an 18.3% increase in the last 24 hours. Although the specific driver behind the recent surge in activity remains unclear, the project has recently introduced a new fund to assist victims of the recent earthquake in Japan. </p>

<p>This philanthropic endeavor could contribute to increased attention and positive sentiments.</p> 
<p>Coming in with bronze-level gains is the Ordi (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/ordi/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ORDI</a>), the inscription protocol on satoshis, the smallest unit of Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BTC</a>). The current ORDI price is $87.74, reflecting a 15.3% surge in the last day. This coincides with&nbsp;Bitcoin developer <a href="https://crypto.news/developer-asks-community-not-to-underestimate-bitcoin-ordinals/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Udi Wertheime</a>r advocating for adopting Bitcoin Ordinals despite facing widespread industry criticism. In a post on X, Wertheimer acknowledged the resistance to the concept but expressed support for its adoption, countering those aiming to eliminate Bitcoin Ordinals.</p> 
<p>Taken together, this represents&nbsp;another good day for <a href="https://crypto.news/altcoins-to-see-up-to-300-rallies-fueled-by-crypto-uptrend-analyst/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">altcoins</a>.&nbsp;</p>
