MEME OF THE WEEK
WHATβS TRENDING @ π
β USA Trends: #stockmarketcrash (42.7K) + #Budget2025 (169.9K) dominate, while crypto hashtags are notably absent from top 30 - historically a bullish signal
β Global vs USA: While US focuses on market fears, global trends stick to entertainment - creating potential arbitrage opportunities
β Emerging Winners: DeepSeek (AI), $BYDOG (4,985 posts), and $vItrs lead retail interest, showing healthy distribution across AI, DeFi, and meme sectors
TOP HEADLINES ποΈ
β Trump's Return Sparks Crypto Rally. The crypto market surged following Trump's inauguration, pushing total market cap near its $3.7T all-time high. The former president's return to office was marked by the launch of TRUMP and Melania meme tokens, which briefly reached a combined $9.2B valuation. World Liberty Financial (WLFI), Trump's crypto investment firm, made significant purchases of Chainlink, Ethereum, and Tron, signaling strong institutional confidence in the crypto sector.
β Tariffs Trigger Bitcoin Volatility. Bitcoin faced downward pressure as Trump announced new tariffs on major trading partners. The cryptocurrency dropped from $106,000 to $103,000 following announcements of a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada, plus a 10% levy on China, all effective February 1. This 2.3% decline highlights crypto's increasing sensitivity to global trade policies.
β AI and Memecoins Lead 2024 Gains. A new Foresight Ventures report positions AI and memecoins as the top-performing crypto sectors, with AI tokens surging 185% and memecoins up 83% in 2024. This trend appears to be continuing into 2025, with AI-focused tokens like DeepSeek gaining significant traction in recent trading sessions, while emerging memecoins such as $BYDOG maintain strong social engagement.
