Popular Concepts
This week, the price of BTC has pumped from $74,779 to $93,000, and the performance of various altcoin zones varies. According to CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap data, the Zoo-Themed, Pump.fun Ecosystem, and The Boy’s Club zones have shown significant increases this week, with pumps of approximately 430.5%, 157.2%, and 105.8% respectively in the past seven days. The common reason for the pump in these zones is the effect driven by the fear of missing out (FOMO) sentiment, becoming the hot spot followed by the market in the near term.
Zoo-Themed zone has pumped over 430% over the past seven days, with a market cap of $2.68 B as of November 14th. ** The Zoo-Themed zone refers to a collection of encryption projects centered around animal-themed, including a variety of Tokens and Non-fungible Token projects that mimic animal characters or ecological concepts. The Zoo-Themed projects attract a large number of users through the fun animal images and interactive virtual pets, especially excelling in the Non-fungible Token gaming and social interaction fields.
In this zone, Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT) surged by 1495.8%, Moo Deng (MOODENG) pumped by 58.8%, while Sudeng HIPPO (HIPPO) pumped by 162.0%. The pump of PNUT is mainly due to a tweet posted by Elon Musk, which sparked social media hype and the fear of missing out (FOMO) effect, driving a large number of investors to follow suit and buy in.
Pump.fun Ecosystem —— Pump increased by 157.2% in the past seven days, reaching a Market Cap of $7.75 B. The Pump.fun Ecosystem refers to the collection of tokens launched by the meme launching platform Pump.fun. Since its launch in January 2024, Pump.fun has quickly gained follow in the encryption community. Initially supporting the Solana network, in April, it expanded to include Layer 2 networks Base and Blast on Ethereum, further expanding its user base and functionality.
In this zone (excluding PNUT), GOAT, ACT, and FWOG have pumped 9.5%, 2751.1%, and 57.3% respectively in the past seven days, among which ACT has shown the most significant increase.
The Boy's Club —— Risen by more than 105.8% in the past seven days, Market Cap surpasses $12.07 B. The Token of The Boy's Club is usually associated with various functions within the platform, such as games, social interactions, and unique virtual activities. Its model is inspired by Meme coin and community-driven projects, focusing on gaining follow through user interactions and brand promotion. The growth of The Boy's Club zone is mainly driven by social interactions and community cohesion, making it a major highlight in the recent market.
In this zone, PEPE pumped 79.7%, BRETT pumped 28.5%, and PEPECOIN pumped 6.6%. Among them, the pump of PEPE was mainly driven by the listing of its Spot trading on Coinbase and Robinhood, which greatly increased its market Liquidity and trading opportunities.
Hot Coins
According to CoinGecko data, the following currencies have been popular in the past 7 days: [9]
Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT) - Recently, Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT) has been widely followed in the market, with a pump of 1513.6% in the past seven days, currently priced at $2.11. The rapid rise in the token price is mainly driven by the enthusiasm of investors and the increasing liquidity in the market, with a 24-hour volume of up to $5.77 billion and a market capitalization exceeding $2.1 billion. PNUT's strong performance has caused a fear of missing out in the market and has continued to pump the token price.
Pepe(PEPE)—— As a popular meme coin, Pepe (PEPE) has pumped 118.4% in the past seven days, currently priced at $0.0000235. PEPE Market Cap once exceeded 10 billion USD, hitting a historical high; currently around 9.7 billion USD, ranking 17th in the entire crypto market. Recently, the launch on Coinbase and Robinhood platforms has further enhanced market attention and volume. The 24-hour volume has reached 2.47 billion USD, with Market Cap approaching 9.9 billion USD, demonstrating strong market performance and investor confidence.
Dogecoin(DOGE)—— As a Cryptocurrency in the top ten of the Market Cap, Dogecoin (DOGE) has pumped 95.6% in the past seven days, currently priced at $0.3865. Dogecoin still maintains strong community support and market follow, with a 24-hour volume of $28.98 billion and a Market Cap of $289 billion. With the increasing market demand, the continuous pump of DOGE price further proves its status as a star coin in the Cryptocurrency. Recently, the main reason for DOGE pump is the positive evaluation of Dogecoin by Elon Musk. Secondly, the launch of Dogecoin-themed products on the Trump campaign website further intensifies the market's enthusiasm for meme coins. The Dogecoin frenzy in the Korean market has also brought premium trading for such Tokens, increasing investor participation. These factors have collectively driven the price pump of the DOGE Token.

Hotspot Review
The U.S. Department of Justice will investigate the gambling platform Polymarket, and the CEO of the company has responded to this. According to Bloomberg, the US Department of Justice is investigating Polymarket for allegedly violating the protocol reached with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) that allows US users to trade on the platform. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has issued a search warrant for Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan and confiscated his related electronic devices. In response to the investigation, Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan stated in a post: 'It is disappointing that the current administration would make a final push to pursue companies they believe are associated with their political opponents. We remain committed to being a non-partisan platform, and today is no exception. However, the current administration should take a moment of self-reflection and recognize that taking a more business-friendly and start-up-friendly approach could alter the outcome of their election. Polymarket has provided value to tens of millions of people during this election cycle without causing harm to others. We are proud of that.'
As the U.S. presidential election entered a heated phase, Polymarket reflected Trump's advantage earlier than the polling agencies. On election day, Polymarket predicted Trump's 97% chance of winning before the swing state results were announced in the mainstream media. The investigation of the Biden administration into Polymarket also highlights the differences between the two parties on the regulation of Crypto Assets and gambling policies.
Brazil's Central Bank promotes traditional Financial Institutions to enter the encryption market, small encryption startups face challenges The Central Bank of Brazil is paving the way for traditional Financial Institutions (TradFi) to enter the crypto market. The upcoming regulatory framework for the crypto market will provide clear operational guidance for Financial Institutions such as banks, brokers, and investment platforms. However, this framework sets a high Compliance threshold for small encryption startups, which may pose significant challenges for them to legalize their operations. The new draft regulations will establish minimum operating capital requirements for the encryption industry. For intermediary institutions, the minimum capital requirement is 1 million Brazilian reais (approximately 174,000 US dollars), while custody service institutions need to reach 2 million Brazilian reais (approximately 348,000 US dollars); and brokers with dual intermediary and custody businesses need to register 3 million Brazilian reais (approximately 522,000 US dollars). This is aimed at ensuring that these institutions have sufficient resources to safeguard customer funds, but it may also restrict the business activities of small encryption companies in Brazil.
The new regulation of the Central Bank of Brazil shows two important intentions: first, in the context of frequent problems in the global encryption market due to insufficient risk control, the Central Bank hopes to reduce the potential financial risks of the Brazilian encryption market and enhance investor confidence through strict Compliance requirements. Second, the regulatory framework also reflects the trend of traditional Financial Institutions entering the encryption market—although the early stage of the encryption industry is mainly dominated by innovative small companies, the capital strength and Compliance experience of TradFi give them a strong competitive advantage at a higher threshold.
Conflux Foundation Launches $500 Million Incentive Plan to Support PayFi Ecosystem Development On November 11th, Conflux announced the launch of the PayFi program, aiming to completely change the on-chain payment methods in the Web3 ecosystem. The Conflux Foundation will invest $500 million from the ecological fund to promote the development of PayFi-related components. Through this program, Conflux hopes to promote the popularity of on-chain payments and provide more efficient and cost-effective transaction solutions for the Web3 payment market.
Earlier in June, Conflux partnered with China Telecom to launch the first SIM card with Block chain account management functionality. In addition, Conflux also uses Hong Kong as a window to expand Financial Service for countries participating in the 'Belt and Road' initiative through its ecological enterprises. It can be seen that Conflux has been continuously laying out a long-term strategy for the global Block chain payment infrastructure and on-chain payment popularization, or is committed to building a cross-border Financial Service network that connects markets around the world.
PayFi is currently targeting the rapidly growing Web3 payment market, and the current development trend is to bring a more convenient on-chain payment experience. The architectural features of Conflux are as follows:
The multi-layer stack (settlement layer, asset layer, protocol layer, access layer) proposed by Conflux builds a comprehensive payment ecosystem that optimizes the trading experience from various dimensions. The PayFi zone of Web3 has entered a new era of rapid development, and Conflux's multi-layer stack architecture may inject new vitality into the Web3 ecosystem. [12]
Robinhood US relists Solana, Cardano and Ripple and lists PEPE Robinhood delisted SOL, ADA, and XRP in June 2023. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) categorized these tokens as unregistered securities in major cryptocurrency exchanges such as Binance and Coinbase, leading to regulatory uncertainty and prompting Robinhood to drop these assets to mitigate potential legal risks.
This announcement re-lists the previously delisted Cryptocurrency and adds the meme coin PEPE, possibly due to:
Robinhood is a Compliance platform for securities trading in the United States, with over 15.9 million active users. By reintroducing SOL, ADA, and XRP, Robinhood strategically demonstrates its ambition to enhance its competitiveness in the crypto market, while also providing a more convenient way for US users to participate in crypto asset investments, which is a significant Favourable Information for the market.

Security Incident
DeltaPrime faces another attack, significant on-chain fund movement On November 11th, Decentralized Finance project DeltaPrime experienced another security incident, with significant fund movements on-chain, suspected to be under attack. DeltaPrime project previously operated mainly on-chain in ARB and AVAX Block, but now about $4.8 million worth of encryption assets have been stolen. [14]
According to on-chain monitoring data, the attacker transferred approximately $1.3 million of USDC funds to the LFJ (formerly known as Trader Joe) and Stargate's USDC Farm to increase Liquidity, possibly intending to further conceal the destination of the funds or exploit the Liquidity Mining mechanism to gain more profits.
It is worth noting that this is not the first time DeltaPrime has been attacked. On September 16th of this year, the on-chain monitoring platform Cyvers Alerts reported that DeltaPrime's administrator may have lost control of the project due to the leakage of the Private Key, resulting in a loss of about 4.5 million US dollars. The previous attack had already raised concerns in the market about the security of DeltaPrime, and this attack undoubtedly further exacerbated this uneasiness.
This incident once again exposes the weaknesses of Decentralized Finance projects in on-chain Private Key management and security protection, especially in cases involving large amounts of funds, where security vulnerabilities can lead to serious consequences.

The Bhutanese government holds 12,574 BTC, which is worth more than one-third of the country's GDP According to Arkham data, the government of Bhutan holds 12,574 BTC. World Bank data shows that Bhutan's latest GDP is $2.89 billion (2022), with the rapid rise in BTC price, the BTC market capitalization held by the Bhutanese government has exceeded $1 billion, more than one-third of its GDP. Due to the decentralized on-chain addresses of BTC holdings by governments around the world, Arkham estimates that Bhutan may have become the fourth-largest sovereign country in terms of BTC holdings. With the increasing wealth effect brought by BTC, an increasing number of sovereign countries may include BTC in their national strategic reserves. In the future, the amount of BTC holdings may become an important indicator to measure the economic strength of a sovereign country. [17]
Dune Analytics introduces a new metric, Dune Index, On November 11, Dune Analytics launched a data index called the Dune Index, which tracks the adoption of the Blockchain in real time. The index provides a meaningful summary of on-chain activities by conducting in-depth analysis of 20 different on-chain Blockchain transactions, payment fees, and net value transfers. The three underlying indicators of the Dune Index are Money Laundering, transaction volume, and fund inflow/outflow. The benchmark date for the index is January 1, 2018. The weights for Money Laundering and fund inflow/outflow are both 45%, while the weight for transaction volume is 10%. This weight distribution takes into account the differences in how different Blockchains process transactions, and that transaction volume usually does not directly reflect adoption rates like fees and transfers. The final index represents the comprehensive impact of these three indicators, collectively indicating the adoption rate of on-chain activities.
The latest Dune Index is 58 (November 4), the highest since March 2024, reflecting the increase in on-chain transaction activity in the past two months. The top three public chains with the highest index contribution are Solana, Ethereum, and Bitcoin.
