Notably, these regular pumps have become useful trading strategies among market participants. Here are some of the top coins being pumped this weekend.

Prosper (PROS)

Prosper is the best-performing cryptocurrency on Saturday. According to Binance, the PROS token has jumped by over 30%, making it one of its best days. 

Prosper is a significantly tiny cryptocurrency. Data by CoinGecko shows that it has a market cap of just $1.1 million, making it the 1,820th biggest cryptocurrency in the world.

Prosper, which is backed by Clover, Ava Labs, Chainlink, and Bonded Finance, is a blockchain project in the prediction market. It is built using the BNB chain. It helps cryptocurrency traders and analysts make money by predicting the direction of an asset’s trend. 

It is like a betting platform that is backed by smart contract technology. One of its top features is that it has a prediction insurance that uses the PROS coin. Still, with no major catalyst, there is a likelihood that the price will have a pullback soon.
