According to Gate.io market data[7], based on the trading volume and price performance over the past 24 hours, the popular altcoins are as follows:
DOGE — Daily gain of approximately 96.7%, with a circulating market cap of $316 million.
DOGE has gained attention as a meme coin following the proposal for a “Department of Government Efficiency” (abbreviated as D.O.G.E). Former U.S. President Trump proposed establishing this department, appointing Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, to oversee the efficiency of U.S. government spending, which quickly sparked widespread discussion on social media. Musk’s involvement not only underscores his support for government reform but also led to heightened enthusiasm for Dogecoin due to the acronym “D.O.G.E.” sounding the same as the token’s name. DOGE has thus come to symbolize a blend of reform, efficiency, and social entertainment.
Trump recently announced that Musk, alongside former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, would co-lead the newly established Department of Government Efficiency. Political commentator Timcast also recently hosted a live discussion on YouTube about D.O.G.E, and Trump’s public announcement of these appointments, along with widespread social media discussion, further fueled community interest and drove up DOGE’s price. [8]
TON — Daily gain of approximately 63.5%, with a circulating market cap of $105 million.
TON (Tokamak Network) is a platform designed to connect and expand Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) networks. It allows developers to create customized L2 solutions to address Ethereum’s scalability limitations. Tokamak enables interoperability among different L2 networks through a cross-layer messaging protocol and utilizes its native token TON for governance and staking, fostering community participation and network security.
This recent price increase may have been driven by the upcoming listing of TON on major South Korean exchanges. These exchanges plan to launch TON trading pairs with KRW, BTC, and USDT, potentially sparking heightened interest and demand for the token in the market. [9]
MVL — Daily gain of approximately 43.56%, with a circulating market cap of $140 million.
MVL (Mass Vehicle Ledger) is building a blockchain-based comprehensive mobility incentive ecosystem, focusing on ride-hailing services, vehicle manufacturing, and energy infrastructure services. The project aims to improve efficiency and transparency in the mobility industry by integrating real-world business, infrastructure, and data. By offering token incentives to data contributors and service users, MVL has developed its own ecosystem and is working toward transforming the existing mobility data ecosystem into a fairer structure.
This recent price increase may have been driven by the upcoming listing of MVL on major South Korean exchanges. These exchanges are set to launch MVL trading pairs with KRW, BTC, and USDT, potentially leading to a surge in the market interest and the demand for the token. [10]

These large-scale bets reflect strong bullish sentiment in the market, especially in the current economic climate, where investors may be increasingly viewing Bitcoin as a potential safe-haven asset. [11]
Bitcoin Google Search Trend Reaches Peak of 100 Today
According to data from Google Trends, Bitcoin’s search interest reached a peak of 100 today, indicating a significant rise in public attention towards Bitcoin. The strong surge in Bitcoin prices following Trump’s election suggests that retail investors are once again focusing on the cryptocurrency market, especially as the acceptance of digital currencies gradually increases in certain countries and regions. With growing uncertainty in global financial markets, more investors may view Bitcoin as a tool to hedge against risks, driving its popularity in the retail market. The continued development of this trend could bring more market momentum to Bitcoin and further integrate the cryptocurrency market into the mainstream economic system. [12]
Bitcoin Surpasses Silver to Become the 8th Largest Asset by Market Capitalization
According to data from CompaniesMarketCap, Bitcoin’s market capitalization has now surpassed $1.758 trillion, overtaking silver’s $1.732 trillion, making Bitcoin the 8th largest asset in the world by market cap. With Bitcoin’s price breaking $89,000, its market value has also reached new heights. This milestone signifies Bitcoin’s growing position within the global asset hierarchy and reflects the increasing market confidence in Bitcoin as a store of value. [13]
ZetaChain Partners with Google Cloud to Accelerate Universal Blockchain and Web3 Innovation
On November 12, ZetaChain announced a partnership with Google Cloud aimed at securing its “universal blockchain” platform through the latter’s Web3 validation services, further driving the development and innovation of Web3. This move marks a new phase in ZetaChain’s growth, with Google Cloud becoming a validator to support the secure operation of both its mainnet and testnet.

[14]
Ethereum Foundation Researcher Proposes Consensus Layer Upgrade “Beam Chain” to Enhance Scalability and Performance
Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake presented a proposal at the Devcon conference called “Beam Chain,” which aims to significantly improve Ethereum’s performance and scalability. The core of the proposal is to introduce technologies like zkVM to enhance the scalability of Ethereum’s mainnet, potentially eliminating the need for Layer 2 solutions. Specifically, Beam Chain proposes reducing block times to 4 seconds, using SNARK technology to improve privacy, lowering the staking requirement for validation nodes to 1 ETH, and ensuring Ethereum’s quantum security. Through these changes, Beam Chain seeks to optimize Ethereum’s consensus mechanism, enhance its processing power, and reduce reliance on Layer 2 solutions. Drake emphasized that these proposals need broad consensus from the community and are expected to begin development in 2026, with extensive testing required before official implementation. [15]
This proposal has sparked significant discussion, especially regarding the trade-off between decentralization and scalability. While Beam Chain could greatly increase blockchain processing speed and scalability, its reliance on SNARK technology could lead to centralization of the validation process, potentially exacerbating Ethereum’s centralization issues. Lowering the startup requirements for validation nodes helps attract more users, but over-reliance on large specialized nodes might challenge the decentralization ethos of the Ethereum ecosystem. Therefore, while the proposal presents unprecedented innovative solutions, its successful implementation will depend on broad community support and long-term technical validation.
