Synthetix's native token SNX is among the few cryptocurrencies that managed to maintain a bullish bias in the last two weeks. This, at a time when most of the top cryptos have been struggling to hold on to January gains.

Recently, Synthetix [SNX] got into the spotlight, thanks to its trading volume. Token Terminal revealed that SNX's trading volume registered a considerable uptick over the last few weeks.

The crypto market has demonstrated a healthy recovery since January 2023, and, as a result, there has been increased activity in the DeFi world. Synthetix is among the companies that are capitalizing on this recovery.

Synthetix has slowed down in 2022 in its DeFi pursuits, just like many crypto networks have during the bear market. Regardless, the network remains committed to its long-term pursuits and this was evident in its latest endeavor.

The crypto market has been harsh in recent times. Synthetix Network (SNX) and eCash (XEC) are struggling to post sustainable growth after suffering a downfall during the recent market crash.
