July 4 (Cointime) - Verge (XVG), a cryptocurrency that prioritizes privacy and anonymity, has surged by almost 300% in the past week, according to CoinGecko. With a 24-hour trading volume of $489 million and a market cap of $96 million, the altcoin has caught the attention of crypto enthusiasts worldwide.

Verge was first introduced in 2014 and gained popularity during the Bitcoin bull run of 2017. Some experts are calling this a "dino coin renaissance," as older cryptocurrencies like Verge, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin are experiencing a resurgence in interest.
