The cryptocurrency market saw significant movements on September 2, 2026, with Filecoin leading the gainers chart. According to CoinGecko data, Filecoin surged 15.41% to $0.7962. The decentralized storage network has been gaining attention for its unique approach to data storage, leveraging blockchain technology to create a peer-to-peer file storage system.
Recent discussions around potential network upgrades may have contributed to the price spike. Uniswap rose 11.25% to $5.99, while Curve DAO saw a 9.09% increase, reaching $0.3902. Ethena climbed 7.04% to $0.1620, with traders pointing to broader altcoin rotation as a potential reason for the uptick.
