Kaspa (KAS), Injective (INJ), and Render (RNDR) are bucking against the general crypto market trend after sustaining gains over the last day. This follows a bearish movement that occurred after Bitcoin reclaimed the $29,000 level. A flash crash sent the pioneer cryptocurrency back to $27,500 and the crypto market tumbled along with it. However, not all altcoins in the space followed this as three assets have continued to see gains. Kaspa (KAS) Rises Over 10% In the hours that followed Bitcoin’s decline, Kaspa (KAS) was one of the cryptocurrencies that were able to shake off the bears with ease. In the last day, the altcoin is up over 10% and was able to reclaim the $0.03 level before experiencing some resistance and correcting back down.

The Uphold digital asset trading platform is listing the altcoin for trading on Thursday, April 27, and the news of this listing saw the trading volume of the cryptocurrency rise over 82%, leading to its surge in price. KAS has also seen multiple exchange listings this month with LBank and Bitget also listing the digital asset for trading in the last week.

Render (RNDR) Maintains Considerable Gains Render (RNDR) has seen the lowest gains of the bunch but that does not mean that the altcoin has done poorly by any measure.

It is up 10.43% in the last week and 99.99% on the monthly chart. Its trading volume is also up as well with an 81.34% increase in one day. What’s Driving These Gains? Besides Kaspa’s listing on the Uphold exchange, there seems to be no apparent reason why the other coins are pumping. It mostly comes to some leftover momentum from the initial market pump on Wednesday that pushed Bitcoin above $29,800. For now, these altcoins have been able to hold their gains and remain in the green. If the market were to pick up once again, then there is a high possibility that these cryptocurrencies will continue to see upside.
