XDC Network (CRYPTO: XDC) rallied sharply on Monday, defying the broader market lag that restricted heavyweights like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE).

What happened: The XDC token jumped over 5% to become the most successful cryptocurrency in the last 24 hours, while the trading volume spiked nearly 24% to $30 million. The uptick pushed XDC to its highest value since June 12.

In doing so, XDC bucked the downsides of the broader cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin, the market leader, declined 1.35% during the last 24 hours, while Dogecoin fell 2.09%.

While there were no immediate triggers, the XDC Network's recent partnership with Archax to develop a Markets in Crypto-Assets-compliant whitepaper to align with the EU's crypto market laws served as a supporting factor.
