BTC Slips on Trending Cryptocurrencies List Led by PIPPIN

  • BTC is in the 5th position on the list of trending cryptocurrencies.
  • PIPPIN is leading the chart with a surge of 68.76% in the last 24 hours.
  • FOGO features in the 6th position and ETH in the 7th place.

BTC has slipped on the list of trending cryptocurrencies over 24 hours. The list is led by PIPPIN and has FOGO as a candidate just below Bitcoin tokens, days after Binance announced its trading pairs. It is speculated that multiple national and international factors may have changed ranks on the list.

BTC and PIPPIN as Trending Cryptocurrencies

While BTC continues to dominate the global crypto market with a market cap of over $1.77 trillion, it has slipped to the 5th position on the list of trending cryptocurrencies drawn over the past 24 hours. The plunge comes despite surging slightly by 0.96% and leading the chart on many occasions.

The list of trending cryptocurrencies is now led by PIPPIN, a Solana-based AI-driven meme coin. Trading at $0.5110, the token has surged by 68.76% in the last 24 hours and now hosts a market cap of approximately $511.31 million. Positions of Bitcoin tokens and Pippin tokens are based on data from CoinMarketCap, and positions are subject to change.

Possible Influential Factors

Factors that have possibly influenced the slip of BTC to the 5th position are investors shifting to a safer alternative and the policy approach of US President Donald Trump. Gold is emerging as a better alternative not just to BTC but to many more cryptocurrencies that continue to experience volatility. The precious metal just reported a new high of $5,311.31 per ounce.

The policy approach of Trump is reportedly driven by tariffs with South Korea being the latest victim. The Lee Jae Myung-led country has been threatened with a revised tariff rate of 25%, citing alleged non-enactment of earlier commitments.

Similar approaches by the US President are believed to have driven UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to China to draft a deal. And, they are believed to have boosted the mother of all deals between India and the European Union.

FOGO as a Candidate

FOGO features on the list of trending cryptocurrencies as well, but in the 6th position, just behind BTC. It has soared by 15.18% to $0.04295 with a market cap of over 161.68 million.

What has possibly fueled the rise of FOGO is the availability of its trading pairs on Binance. The platform recently announced that it would list FOGO/USDT and FOGO/USDC on January 28, 2026. Binance TH added that Spot Listing and Easy Buy/Sell functions would be effective 3 hours after the launch.

FOGO is followed by ETH. Ether has jumped by 2.62% to $2,986.85, after briefly trading above the $3k mark. Tokens on the list between PIPPIN and BTC are FIGHT, PAXG, and HYPE, in the same order.

Shibarium May No Longer Turbocharge Shiba Inu Price Rally, Here’s Reason

The post Shibarium May No Longer Turbocharge Shiba Inu Price Rally, Here’s Reason appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Shibarium, the layer-2 blockchain of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) ecosystem, is battling to stay active. Shibarium has slipped from hitting transaction milestones to struggling to record any transactions on its platform, a development that could severely impact SHIB. Shibarium transactions crash from millions to near zero As per Shibariumscan data, the total daily transactions on Shibarium as of Sept. 16 stood at 11,600. This volume of transactions reflects how low the transaction count has dropped for the L2, whose daily average ranged between 3.5 million and 4 million last month. However, in the last week of August, daily transaction volume on Shibarium lost momentum, slipping from 1.3 million to 9,590 as of Aug. 28. This pattern has lingered for much of September, with the highest peak so far being on Sept. 5, when it posted 1.26 million transactions. The low user engagement has greatly affected the transaction count in recent days. In addition, the security breach over the weekend by malicious attackers on Shibarium has probably worsened issues. Although developer Kaal Dhairya reassured the community that the attack to steal millions of BONE tokens was successfully prevented, users’ confidence appears shaken. This has also impacted the price outlook for Shiba Inu, the ecosystem’s native token. Following reports of the malicious attack on Shibarium, SHIB dipped immediately into the red zone. Unlike on previous occasions where investors accumulated on the dip, market participants did not flock to Shiba Inu. Shiba Inu price struggles, can burn mechanism help? With the current near-zero crash in transaction volume for Shibarium, SHIB’s price cannot depend on it to support a rally. It might take a while to rebuild user confidence and for transactions to pick up again. In the meantime, Shiba Inu might have to rely on other means to boost prices from its low levels. This…

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

The post Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wormhole is changing how its W token works by creating a new reserve designed to hold value for the long term. Announced on Wednesday, the Wormhole Reserve will collect onchain and offchain revenues and other value generated across the protocol and its applications (including Portal) and accumulate them into W, locking the tokens within the reserve. The reserve is part of a broader update called W 2.0. Other changes include a 4% targeted base yield for tokenholders who stake and take part in governance. While staking rewards will vary, Wormhole said active users of ecosystem apps can earn boosted yields through features like Portal Earn. The team stressed that no new tokens are being minted; rewards come from existing supply and protocol revenues, keeping the cap fixed at 10 billion. Wormhole is also overhauling its token release schedule. Instead of releasing large amounts of W at once under the old “cliff” model, the network will shift to steady, bi-weekly unlocks starting October 3, 2025. The aim is to avoid sharp periods of selling pressure and create a more predictable environment for investors. Lockups for some groups, including validators and investors, will extend an additional six months, until October 2028. Core contributor tokens remain under longer contractual time locks. Wormhole launched in 2020 as a cross-chain bridge and now connects more than 40 blockchains. The W token powers governance and staking, with a capped supply of 10 billion. By redirecting fees and revenues into the new reserve, Wormhole is betting that its token can maintain value as demand for moving assets and data between chains grows. This is a developing story.
