LSK surges 643% in a week after token burn announcement

Lisk (LSK) is the most striking riser among large-cap cryptocurrencies over the past week. The coin rose 643% after the Lisk community approved a burn of 100 million LSK tokens, equivalent to 25% of the total supply. At the same time, the project announced a strategic shift towards an enterprise platform for money transactions. Behind it follow several other coins with gains of tens of percent.

In brief:

• LSK rises 643% in a week, partly due to an approved burn of 25% of the total token supply
• 龙虾 (Lobster) and BTW follow with gains of 123% and 76% respectively
• The list of biggest risers includes seven large-cap coins with a market capitalisation of more than $100 million

LSK far ahead of the rest with 643% gain

According to data from CryptoRank, LSK dominates the list of biggest large-cap risers over the past seven days. The 643% price rise falls well outside the normal range of the other coins on the list, which range from 22% to 123%.

The immediate reason is a decision by the Lisk community to burn 100 million LSK tokens. That is a quarter of the total supply. At the same time, the project says it is focusing on companies that want to manage money flows through a so-called enterprise money operations platform. That combination of a smaller supply and a new business focus appears to explain the price enthusiasm.

Lobster, BTW and STONK complete the top four

In second place is 龙虾 (Lobster) with a weekly gain of 123%. BTW follows with 76%, and STONK closes the top four with a rise of 70%. All four coins therefore perform considerably better than the broader market this week.

The remaining three names on the list are 牛来 (Niu Lai) with 35%, VVV with 32% and B with 22%. For this ranking, CryptoRank uses a minimum market capitalisation of $100 million, which places the coins in the large-cap category. The data comes from the CryptoRank API and relates to the week ending on 14 September 2026.
