The Spark platform token within the Sky ecosystem has increased by over 80% in a single day, reaching $0.057. Over the past week, SPK has appreciated by 152%. This remarkable surge in the token’s value coincided with challenges faced by the Aave lending protocol, which lost $10 billion in liquidity following the Kelp bridge hack.

The trading volume of SPK surged by approximately 1300% in one day, with its market capitalization nearing $140 million, according to CoinGecko.
Spark positions itself as a capital distribution tool within the Sky ecosystem. The protocol’s ecosystem includes the SparkLend lending platform (a fork of Aave V3), the Spark Liquidity Layer, and a platform for earning yields on stablecoins. Token holders can stake SPK to earn rewards and utilize it for governance voting within the ecosystem.
Analysts from Lookonchain noted that investors have begun reallocating capital from Aave to more conservative protocols, including Spark. Three days after the Kelp attack, the total value of locked assets in the Spark ecosystem rose by $825 million, reaching $4.552 billion.
After an additional two days, Blockworks Research reported that SparkLend experienced a net inflow of funds amounting to $1.4 billion, along with a $350 million increase in loan volume. Furthermore, on April 23, the largest South Korean exchange, Upbit, listed the SPK token in a pair with the Korean won.
Recently, the MemeCore token also exhibited a sharp increase following its listing on the Kraken exchange. Anonymous blockchain researcher ZachXBT criticized Kraken’s decision, pointing to a significant transfer of tokens worth $7.9 million immediately after the listing.
