From NEET subculture to alcohol micro-strategies, here’s a look at the recent hype on the Solana blockchain.

From NEET subculture to alcohol micro-strategies, here’s a look at the recent hype on the Solana blockchain.

What are the "interesting" targets among the monotonous running water disks? While the recent trend toward cryptocurrency compliance has been evident, with seemingly every blockchain project being associated with "compliance," "institutions," and "policy trends," the on-chain craze surrounding Memecoin and ICM projects appears far from over. As if to capitalize on the "last wave" of on-chain enthusiasm, various platforms have chosen to deploy their ultimate moves at this time. BlockBeats has compiled and introduced several of the stocks that have performed well recently. NEETs who don't work Neet (not in employment, education, or training) originally referred to young people (specifically those aged 16-24) who were neither employed nor receiving education or vocational training. In millennial Japan, the age range of the term "NEET" was expanded to include those aged 15-34. It became widely associated with the culture of "otaku" and "staying indoors," and for a long time, it was also associated with "staying at home." As Internet culture spread, the term gradually spread to subculture circles in Europe and the United States, especially anonymous communities (such as 4chan /r9k/ and Reddit). By the 2010s, NEET had gradually evolved into a self-identity and cultural identity of "liberals." From the messages on 4chan, it can be seen that most of them say whatever they want, discriminate against women, discriminate against blacks, and are self-centered. NEET is not necessarily a real identity, but a network personality. People who call themselves "NEET" often emphasize that they are out of touch with the mainstream society, reject social rules, and even "take pride in it." It is both self-deprecating and a kind of "alternative identity." Neet is widely used on 4chan's /r9k/ subreddit (Robot9000). /r9k/ was originally developed by 4chan founder Christopher Poole in 2008 as a filtering system for original content. Its design was intended to prevent spamming and copypasta, which also contributed to the subreddit's vibrant culture. The screenshot shows a discussion on /r9k+1/ (Robot9001), an improved version of /r9k/. Although the token's value quadrupled in a single minute when PumpFun founder Alon first bought $NEET, and then quickly plummeted below its pre-purchase market value, its price trend has remained stable. Besides having many "big brothers" who call out orders and a strong community culture, its Twitter presence is also quite strong. After checking with Cookie, who was the first to call out $neet in the Chinese community, we learned that Primed is responsible for Neet's Twitter operations. Under his and the community's management, accounts within the token system have shifted away from price discussions and focused on promoting cultural trends. Price movements driven by communication itself are far more authentic and healthy than those driven by market manipulation. Excellent communication, a strong community culture, and a supportive team have combined to create a rare "interesting meme" in today's system. Left: Reached 12 million views, right: Musk forwarded and brought 100 million views How is Believe's ICM progress? With the demise of fellow competitors Bags and Heaven, Believe has gradually returned to the forefront of discussion today. Its official token, LaunchCoin, has finally rebounded after a nearly month-long decline. Roy, CEO of Cluely, the recently popular "interview cheating tool" in the AI community, shared a photo with Believe founder Ben Pasternak today, leading the community to speculate on the possibility of some kind of collaboration between the two. Left: Cluely CEO, Right: Believe Founder Believe seems determined to abandon concepts such as "100% cost-to-turn the flywheel" and re-establish its positioning as an "ICM platform concept." After he and his girlfriend Evelyn Ha stayed at the extremely expensive "Aman Tokyo" last time, coupled with the slow progress of the platform and the gradual "return to zero" of the ecosystem, various emotions added up to cause some "heated discussions" in the community. Ben seems to have refocused on Believe. First, he directly acquired Abode for a better product UI, and some interesting projects have chosen Believe to issue again. What about the new and old labels that are currently doing well on Believe? Believe the existing ecosystem. Image source: @PaceTerminal HUCH: CS2 Skin Lending Platform HUCH is an on-chain lending platform for CS2 skins. In July, it won the University Prize in the gaming track of the Colosseum and Solana hackathon. It launched on Believe on August 24th and currently maintains a market capitalization of approximately $1.5 million. The overall basic concept of the product is actually quite simple. The team believes that Counter Strike 2 skins now have a huge market of nearly billions of dollars, but lack the liquidity to match it. CS2 skins and DeFi products have considerable similarities in financial attributes, so they want to create an on-chain platform that converts game assets into financial instruments through mortgage lending. The team integrates real-time market data for accurate valuations, and players can use their CS2 skins as collateral to obtain instant cash loans (65% of the value). Interestingly, before the launch of HUCH, founder Hugo claimed that he sold his Apple computer to promote HUCH and attended a summit event held by the well-known crypto "public office space" Mtn DAO. This was also appreciated by Cobra from the Mtn community, and they discussed in X whether to sponsor him a computer. This proposal received a lot of response from the community, and many team members of the project expressed their willingness to sponsor him. Kled: AI data transaction matching platform Kled is an on-chain AI data trading intermediary platform designed to connect AI developers with data copyright holders, providing trading channels for various data types, including video, audio, and text. The project received $2 million in funding from K5 Capital (K5 has previously invested in projects such as Uber and Xai). Founder Avi Patel, a former University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign dropout, founded the music copyright platform Nitrility in 2023 and launched Kled in 2024. In the early days, due to contract deployment issues, the $KLED token price plummeted, triggering market panic. However, platform founder Ben (founder of the Believe platform) promptly issued a statement on the X platform to clarify the contract address issue. As the development team continued to update product features, community confidence gradually returned. Kled's market capitalization subsequently rebounded to approximately $10 million, and it was listed on the Moonshot Exchange. On June 9th, Kled V2 announced its next phase of enterprise contracts, "Kled Pages," and shared partnerships with platforms like YouTube, Twitch, and Google Classroom. It also announced plans for a hackathon with Stanford University and UC Berkeley. This series of developments promises increased B2B revenue and improved scalability for the platform, sparking a surge of fear-mongering (FOMO) within the community and driving the price of $KLED to a new high, reaching a market capitalization of $36 million. After the hype faded, the market capitalization has fluctuated around $10 million, currently trading at $18 million. Polycule: Polymarket's Telegram trading bot Polycule is a Telegram trading bot compatible with Polymarket. Users can place orders directly through chat commands, bypassing US access restrictions on Polymarket. This solves the platform's inaccessibility in the US, leading to a $560,000 investment from AllianceDAO. Following Polymarket's official announcement of its partnership with the Telegram bot on X, the platform provides deflationary support for the token by charging a 0.01%–0.05% handling fee on each transaction and setting aside 30% for buybacks and burns. The decentralized prediction market Polymarket rose to fame for its successful predictions of the 2024 US presidential election, spurring a surge in popularity and trading volume. However, due to regulatory investigations, Polymarket was blocked in the US, preventing US users from directly accessing the platform. This is the context in which Polycule was born – a lightweight Telegram trading bot that connects to Polymarket, allowing users to participate in on-chain YES/NO betting transactions through chat commands without opening a webpage. This bot bypasses domain blockades and allows users to easily participate in prediction markets in regions like the US. By addressing the pain points of Polymarket's mobile and restricted-region use, Polycule secured a $560,000 seed investment from AllianceDAO. Polymarket officially expressed support for Polycule—its CEO, Shayne, followed the official Polycule account. When a user on X inquired about placing bets via Telegram, Polymarket confirmed the availability of the Polycule bot. This official endorsement propelled the $PCULE token's initial surge. Subsequently, on June 6th, the social platform X announced a partnership with Polymarket, making it an official prediction market partner, integrating Polymarket's data and predictions with content on the X platform. This news pushed the price of $PCULE to a new high. Polycule currently charges a fee of 0.01%–0.05% per transaction, with 30% used to buy back and burn tokens, providing deflationary support for $PCULE. Leveraging the rise of social trading, Polycule has rapidly expanded its user base, while its fee-burning mechanism has also created a positive feedback loop, driving the token's price upwards. DAOSFUN limited time return? Unlike Believe, which focuses on ICM, DAOS.FUN wants to bring the glory of Crypto AI back to the chain. LLM: Officially endorsed Latino AI memecoin agent LLM (Latina Language Model) is an AI-themed memecoin issued on the DAOS.FUN platform. Its issuer is none other than the platform's founder, @baoskee. It touts itself as the "first fully autonomous Latino AI agent" character token. Because it shares the same name (and indeed, a similar image) as the ai16z copycat "Large Language Model," the project didn't attract widespread attention during its initial launch, providing a relatively long window for entry. However, some veteran traders in the Chinese crypto community, such as Noobwillwin and 0xNoNo, got involved early on. According to community information, the founder of LLM reserved approximately 5.14% of the tokens as a holding and also served as an LLM community moderator. This indicates that LLM is not an ordinary community coin, but an AI-backed token endorsed by the official DAOS.FUN team. Baoskee stated that AI agent technology is experiencing a period of rapid development, and that future application-oriented AI tokens are expected to differentiate themselves from the purely hype of the past "AI season" bubble, driving industry iteration through real products and innovative financial models. While LLM's product offerings haven't demonstrated any significant differentiation from previous crypto AI projects, Baoskee's endorsement has directly boosted its market capitalization to $20 million. $Drink: A microstrategy for alcohol assets BAXUS is an RWA project featured on the DAOS.FUN platform, recommended by baoskee and renowned investor Mike Dudas. The project builds an on-chain marketplace for high-end whiskey and wine on the Solana network, aiming to address the inefficiency and illiquidity of the traditional high-end wine collector market. On the BAXUS platform, rare bottles receive trusted digital proof of ownership: collectors deliver the physical bottles to Baxus Vault, a professional, temperature-controlled warehouse. Each bottle is scanned with high precision and minted into a unique NFT, serving as on-chain proof of ownership. Buyers and sellers can access the platform globally at any time, accepting a variety of payment methods including credit cards, ACH, wire transfers, and cryptocurrencies/USDC. Users can view real-time price trends, trading volume, and historical data for each bottle. Furthermore, any bottle traded or stored on BAXUS can be withdrawn at any time or remain in the Vault for resale, resulting in transaction efficiency far exceeding that of traditional auctions. Drink is the token of the DAO organization promoted by the founder of Baxus, who launched an alcohol "micro-strategy" concept Members of the DAO can choose to vote on the acquisition, management, and ultimate fate of specific bottles or barrels of wine. They can decide whether to sell, hold on to, or share (drink). When LLM became popular yesterday, Baoskee also took the opportunity to recommend Drink, which caused its price to rise by 100% in a short period of time and is now valued at US$600,000.

Solana vs XRP Compared by Analysts

Solana vs XRP Compared by Analysts

The post Solana vs XRP Compared by Analysts appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Analysts compare Solana and XRP as ETF hype builds, with investor momentum signaling key opportunities in the crypto market ahead of 2025. The cryptocurrency market is heating up again, and much of the excitement is centered around exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Investors are closely watching Solana and XRP as ETF momentum builds across global markets. But beyond these familiar names, analysts say another project, MAGACOIN FINANCE, could be the real breakout before the next wave of approvals. With strong presale momentum and rising whale inflows, MAGACOIN FINANCE has already started gaining recognition as one of the best cryptos to buy before ETF hype fully takes over. Solana: ETF Momentum and Network Strength Due to its impressive throughput and efficiency, Solana has been one of the best-performing in cycles. Many institutional investors have been circling SOL, with impressive inflows into Solana-based products recently. Although there are no Solana ETFs with full approval yet, various proposals are underway at present. If the network keeps getting heavy traffic in DeFi and NFT, it may gain regulatory approval sooner rather than later, analysts suggest. Solana is currently trending in consolidation around the mid-$180s level with resistance found near $190. In the near-term consolidation period, analysts believe that ETF speculation can trigger a journey toward $200 and further. Solana remains a top choice for traders taking positions ahead of institutions. XRP: Regulatory Clarity and ETF Speculation After years of legal fighting by XRP, the tide is finally turning in its favour.  XRP is expected to reap the benefits of institutional capital in the wake of regulatory clarity in the U.S. and Europe, given that a number of ETF proposals are on review. Analysts are viewing the $3 level as hard support we should consolidate near it. If ETF approvals are completed, we could target…

Massive Gains Ahead? Last Chance to Buy Bitcoin, Ethereum & XRP Cheap

Massive Gains Ahead? Last Chance to Buy Bitcoin, Ethereum & XRP Cheap

The post Massive Gains Ahead? Last Chance to Buy Bitcoin, Ethereum & XRP Cheap appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency market is once again offering long-term investors a rare window. After a pullback and a period of consolidation, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP now sit at levels that analysts see as attractive entry points ahead of the next big wave of institutional adoption and regulatory clarity. For those searching for the next exponential play, MAGACOIN FINANCE has also caught attention in 2025, with experts calling it one of the most watched new altcoins for outsized growth potential. Bitcoin: Poised for New Highs Bitcoin’s recent dip to $112,425 has investors questioning whether momentum is fading. But far from a weakness, this pullback is being read as a healthy consolidation before the next leg higher. Spot Bitcoin ETFs from giants like BlackRock and Ark Invest are driving a flood of liquidity into the asset, reinforcing its reputation as “digital gold.” With its limited supply and halving cycles ensuring scarcity, forecasts place Bitcoin at $145,000 by the end of 2025 and potentially $458,000 by 2030. Ethereum: Utility Meets Institutional Demand Ethereum has pushed to resistance near $4,218, supported by its role as the backbone of decentralized finance and NFTs. Its potential now extends further with spot Ethereum ETFs expected to drive a new wave of institutional capital. Combined with the staking rewards available on ETH, this creates a mix of appreciation potential and passive income, strengthening its case as a must-have in investor portfolios. XRP: Awaiting Breakout Trading between $2.88 and $2.99, XRP is holding steady while awaiting regulatory clarity to fuel its next move. A confirmed breakout above $3.00 could spark renewed optimism, especially as Ripple eyes a potential IPO and expands partnerships with central banks. With a proven cross-border payments use case, XRP remains a speculative yet powerful play for those willing to ride out volatility. New Crypto Opportunity Arises…

Altcoin Season Index Plunges: What This Crucial Drop to 46 Means

Altcoin Season Index Plunges: What This Crucial Drop to 46 Means

BitcoinWorld Altcoin Season Index Plunges: What This Crucial Drop to 46 Means The cryptocurrency market is a dynamic space, constantly shifting between periods of Bitcoin dominance and altcoin surges. Recently, the Altcoin Season Index has taken a notable dip, falling three points to a score of 46. This shift is sparking discussions among investors and analysts alike. What exactly does this decline signify for your crypto portfolio? Are we truly heading into a ‘Bitcoin Season’? Let’s unpack the implications of this crucial movement and understand what a score of 46 means for the future of altcoins. Understanding the Altcoin Season Index: How Is It Measured? To truly grasp the significance of the recent drop, it’s essential to understand how the Altcoin Season Index works. CoinMarketCap, a trusted name in crypto data, provides this valuable metric. It’s not just a random number; it’s a carefully calculated indicator designed to give us a snapshot of the market’s sentiment towards alternative cryptocurrencies compared to Bitcoin. The Calculation: The index evaluates the price performance of the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Exclusions: Stablecoins and wrapped coins are intentionally left out to ensure the index reflects true market sentiment for volatile assets. The Timeframe: Performance is measured over the past 90 days, providing a medium-term view rather than daily fluctuations. Defining a Season: An altcoin season is officially declared if 75% or more of these top 100 coins have outperformed Bitcoin. If not, it’s considered a Bitcoin season. A score closer to 100 strongly indicates an altcoin season, suggesting that a broad range of altcoins are seeing significant gains relative to Bitcoin. Conversely, a lower score points towards Bitcoin’s dominance. Why Did the Altcoin Season Index Drop to 46? The recent three-point fall in the Altcoin Season Index to 46 suggests a notable shift in market dynamics. This decline doesn’t happen in a vacuum; it reflects a period where a significant number of the top 100 altcoins have underperformed Bitcoin over the last 90 days. While the exact reasons can be multifaceted, several factors often contribute to such movements: Bitcoin’s Strength: Often, when Bitcoin experiences a strong rally, capital tends to flow from altcoins into Bitcoin, causing altcoins to lag. Macroeconomic Factors: Broader economic trends or regulatory news can impact the entire crypto market, but altcoins, being generally riskier, might see larger pullbacks. Specific Altcoin Performance: If several major altcoins within the top 100 face project-specific challenges or lack significant development news, their underperformance can collectively drag down the index. A score of 46 places us firmly outside of an ‘altcoin season’ (which requires 75 or higher). It indicates a period of relative neutrality or even slight Bitcoin dominance, where altcoins are generally struggling to keep pace. Navigating Market Shifts: What Does a 46 Mean for Your Portfolio? When the Altcoin Season Index hovers around 46, it signals a time for careful consideration rather than panic. This isn’t a strong ‘Bitcoin season’ either, as that would typically be a much lower score. Instead, it suggests a more balanced, perhaps uncertain, market environment where capital isn’t overwhelmingly favoring one side. For savvy investors, this period presents both challenges and opportunities. Re-evaluate Your Holdings: It’s a good moment to assess your altcoin positions. Are they still strong projects with solid fundamentals? Consider Diversification: While altcoins might be struggling, Bitcoin could be consolidating or preparing for its next move. A balanced portfolio can help mitigate risks. Focus on Fundamentals: During periods of uncertainty, projects with clear use cases, strong development teams, and active communities tend to weather the storm better. Risk Management: This environment underscores the importance of not over-allocating to speculative altcoins. Remember, market cycles are natural. A dip in the index doesn’t mean altcoins are doomed forever; it simply reflects the current performance trend. Understanding these trends helps you make more informed decisions. Is an Altcoin Resurgence Still Possible? Despite the recent dip in the Altcoin Season Index, the potential for an altcoin resurgence is always present in the volatile crypto market. Historically, crypto markets move in cycles, and periods of Bitcoin dominance are often followed by altcoin rallies once Bitcoin consolidates or reaches new highs. What could trigger such a shift? Bitcoin Stability: A stable Bitcoin price often allows capital to flow into altcoins as investors seek higher returns. Technological Breakthroughs: Major upgrades or significant adoption news for key altcoin projects can ignite rallies. New Narratives: Emerging trends like GameFi, NFTs, or specific Layer-2 solutions can create new interest and drive altcoin performance. While the index currently sits at 46, market sentiment can change rapidly. Staying informed about project developments and broader market trends is crucial. The crypto landscape is constantly evolving, and yesterday’s underperformers can quickly become tomorrow’s stars. In conclusion, the fall of the Altcoin Season Index to 46 is a clear indicator that altcoins are currently facing headwinds against Bitcoin. This crucial shift encourages investors to practice caution, re-evaluate their strategies, and focus on robust projects. While an altcoin season isn’t imminent based on this metric, the dynamic nature of crypto means vigilance and informed decision-making remain paramount. Keep an eye on the index and broader market signals to navigate these fascinating shifts effectively. Frequently Asked Questions About the Altcoin Season Index Q1: What exactly is the Altcoin Season Index? A1: The Altcoin Season Index is a metric provided by CoinMarketCap that indicates whether altcoins are generally outperforming Bitcoin. It’s calculated by comparing the performance of the top 100 cryptocurrencies (excluding stablecoins and wrapped coins) against Bitcoin over the past 90 days. Q2: How is an Altcoin Season officially declared? A2: An altcoin season is declared when 75% or more of the top 100 altcoins have outperformed Bitcoin during the preceding 90-day period. Otherwise, it is considered a Bitcoin season. Q3: What does a score of 46 on the Altcoin Season Index signify? A3: A score of 46 means that less than 75% of the top 100 altcoins have outperformed Bitcoin over the last 90 days. It indicates that we are currently not in an altcoin season and suggests a period of relative neutrality or slight Bitcoin dominance. Q4: Should I sell all my altcoins if the index falls? A4: Not necessarily. A falling Altcoin Season Index suggests altcoins are underperforming Bitcoin, but it doesn’t mean they won’t recover. It’s a signal to re-evaluate your portfolio, focus on strong fundamentals, and practice good risk management. Market cycles are common, and a dip can be a temporary phase.
