The cryptocurrency $CORE has experienced a significant surge in value, recording over a 200% gain in the past week, following the announcement of its Bitcoin-bridging feature going live. The price increase was notably influenced by the asset's native Bitcoin-bridging capability, as highlighted by CoreDao_Org, leading to a 69% increase in the past 24 hours alone. Consequently, $CORE's market capitalization has reached approximately $2.29 billion, with a fully-diluted valuation of more than $2.29 billion. This growth comes amidst a week of market volatility, where $CORE and $TAO have shown resilience by registering gains of 9% and 6% respectively in the last 24 hours, outshining other assets. Additionally, despite a market-wide liquidation event on Tuesday, $CORE, identified as a layer 1 token, has managed to secure an overall weekly gain of over 300%.
