Maple Finance [SYRUP] was up by more than 15% in the past 24 hours, at press time. The altcoin came third among the top gainers in a day for the top 200 by market cap. The expansion of Maple Finance’s DeFi activity into stablecoins, specifically syrupUSDC, drove the rally. The difference in the activity of the native token and its stablecoin showed that the latter was the real driver.
