Top Performers

According to Gate.io market data[7], the following altcoins have shown significant gains over the past 24 hours based on trading volume and price performance:

MEMEFI — 24-hour increase of approximately 85.22%, with a circulating market cap of $132 million.
MEMEFI is a community-driven, multi-functional token primarily designed for use within the MemeFi ecosystem’s Web3 applications and Telegram advertising network. The token serves various purposes, including in-game rewards, character development, micropayments, and discounts for advertising network services. [8]

Recently, MEMEFI was listed on multiple exchanges, sparking investor interest and driving price growth. Additionally, investments in MemeFi by well-known institutions such as AC Capital have bolstered market confidence, further fueling the price surge.

AI16Z — 24-hour increase of approximately 50.8%, with a circulating market cap of $243 million.
AI16Z is an innovative project combining artificial intelligence and blockchain technology. It simulates the venture capital role of Marc Andreessen, leveraging autonomous wallets and the DegenAI chatbot to provide investment advice and interactive experiences for community users. The project operates as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), creating unique interactive scenarios and token utility for its users.

Recently, the founder of AI16Z announced several positive updates within the community. These include plans to launch AI16Z DAO autonomous trading functionality next week, further enhancing the token’s decentralization and operational capabilities. Additionally, the team is in discussions with a16z and top-tier centralized exchanges (CEXs) to establish a legal entity, paving the way for exchange listings. They are also negotiating potential collaborations with the Ethereum Foundation, Magic Eden, and other partners to expand the project’s ecosystem.

These significant developments have enhanced market confidence in AI16Z but also driven its rapid price increase. [9]

ZULU — 24-hour increase of approximately 11.74%, with a circulating market cap of $2.43 million.
Zulu Network is the first native Bitcoin DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) layer, combining Bitcoin’s security with EVM’s flexibility. It focuses on optimizing AI and DePIN applications while offering users opportunities for asset staking and yield generation.

Recently, the price of Zulu Network’s token, $ZULU, has risen by nearly 12%, primarily driven by a 5-day promotional campaign launched by a prominent centralized exchange (CEX). This campaign encourages users to deposit, trade $ZULU, and invite friends to join, utilizing a reward token pool to attract significant market attention. The promotion successfully boosted $ZULU’s trading volume and liquidity, solidifying its position within the DePIN ecosystem. These favorable developments have strengthened market confidence, contributing to the rapid increase in $ZULU’s price. [10]

Data Highlights

Total Ethereum Staking Exceeds 34 Million ETH, with Lido Leading the Market
The staking total on the Ethereum Beacon Chain has reached 34,707,046 ETH, accounting for 28.31% of Ethereum’s total supply. Among these, the liquid staking protocol Lido leads the market with 9,732,029 ETH staked, representing 28.04% of the total, and supported by 304,000 validators. Coinbase follows with 3,662,947 ETH, or 10.55% of the total staked. Since the Shanghai upgrade, the net inflow of staked ETH has totaled 16,541,056 ETH, demonstrating the market’s ongoing demand for staking. [11]

Lido’s market share, nearing 30%, underscores the significance and widespread adoption of liquid staking. However, this high concentration raises potential risks related to decentralization. Meanwhile, the steady growth in Ethereum staking reflects user confidence in the network’s rewards and stability.

Bitcoin On-Chain Transaction Volume Surges to Yearly High
The daily average transaction volume on the Bitcoin network has fluctuated significantly since the beginning of the year. Earlier in the year, volumes remained in the $40–50 billion range, peaking at a temporary high of $80 billion in late February before declining to a low of approximately $40 billion in May. However, starting in October, transaction volumes have risen markedly, recently nearing $100 billion, setting a new high for the year. [12]

The surge in on-chain transaction volume indicates increased market activity and the presence of significant capital flows. The recent uptick may be driven by Bitcoin’s breakout price rally, improved market sentiment, and the entry of additional institutional funds. Furthermore, macroeconomic factors could influence the market as the year-end approaches, potentially adding further momentum to this trend.

Pump.fun Platform Sees High Daily Token Issuance but Low Success Rate
In the past 24 hours, the Pump.fun platform launched 42,168 tokens, but only 587 tokens successfully “graduated.” This translates to a success rate of approximately 1.2%, highlighting the platform’s high token issuance volume but relatively low proportion of successful projects. [13]

To “graduate,” a token must successfully launch on Raydium and achieve a market capitalization exceeding $69,000, meeting the platform’s defined success threshold.

As a low-barrier, one-click token issuance tool, the Pump.fun platform reflects strong user demand for creating tokens through its rapid growth in token numbers. However, the fact that only a small fraction of tokens successfully “graduate” indicates that most projects fail to gain sufficient market recognition or demonstrate practical value. This phenomenon of high issuance volume but low success rates may result in varying quality among tokens on the platform.

To improve the success rate of tokens in the future, the platform could consider implementing stricter vetting mechanisms, which would help optimize the overall ecosystem quality and enhance its appeal to the market.

Solana Network Generates $70 Million in Transaction Fees Last Week, Setting a New Record
According to data from Artemis, Solana’s network transaction fees reached $70 million last week, marking a historic high and showcasing the strong growth momentum of its ecosystem. The recent memecoin frenzy was a key driver, attracting a surge of users to the network. Decentralized applications like Moonshot, which supports Apple Pay for deposits, further lowered the barrier to entry for everyday users. Additionally, the Pump.fun platform, which launches over 40,000 new tokens daily, significantly increased transaction frequency, providing substantial support for fee revenues.

Notably, half of these fees (approximately $35 million) were burned, contributing directly to the value of the $SOL token and creating returns for token holders. Solana’s unique economic model ties fee growth closely to the token ecosystem, offering a robust foundation for long-term development. With total revenue projected to exceed $300 million in 2024, Solana is set to further solidify its position as a leading mainstream blockchain. [14]

Tokenized U.S. Treasury Market Reaches $2.5 Billion, On-Chain RWA Assets Surpass $13 Billion
According to data from rwa.xyz, the tokenized U.S. Treasury market has grown to $2.5 billion, while the total value of on-chain Real World Assets (RWA) has exceeded $13.4 billion. This reflects the remarkable growth potential of the sector as blockchain technology continues to integrate with traditional finance. RWA combines traditional financial assets with blockchain technology, leveraging smart contracts to enable efficient, transparent, and decentralized asset management models.

The successful tokenization of U.S. Treasuries demonstrates blockchain’s gradual penetration into the traditional financial system. This trend also highlights increased trust among institutional investors in blockchain-based assets. By tokenizing low-risk, high-yield assets such as U.S. Treasuries, investors gain not only security but also greater flexibility through decentralized finance.

This development provides a new growth driver for the blockchain industry. The RWA market is poised to play a critical role in driving the mass adoption of blockchain technology. [15]
