The cryptocurrency market experienced a buoyant recovery last week, supported by some relief from President Donald Trump's tariff measures.

What Happened: Among the prominent movers was Onyxcoin, the governance and utility token of the Web3 protocol Onyx, which shot up an impressive 134%.

The spike in Onyxcoin's price came after Binance announced the listing of the coin's futures contract on Friday.
