What does an Exchange look for in a memecoin to be listed?
Community, sentiment, FOMO, exponential growth, and cult.
Meme coins thrive on community support, where value is largely driven by enthusiasm, humor, and the viral potential of the meme associated with the coin.
When the sentiment around a meme coin is strong enough, it can evolve into what could be described as a "cult" following.
What is Sentiment in Cryptocurrencies?
In the world of cryptocurrencies, sentiment refers to the expectations and emotions of investors and traders regarding the price of an asset. This encompasses both optimism and pessimism generated around a #token or project. In the case of memecoins, which are coins without a clear utilitarian purpose, sentiment is often what drives their price.
A memecoin that has gone viral, already surpassing over 111 thousand holders.
The richest man in the world, Elon Musk, did not overlook this and has retweeted TheGregYang's post.
The President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, has posted the image of the ChillGuy dog, and Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana, quoted him asking "What?".
CoinMarketCap asks "Who do we vibe with?", accompanied by the image of the dog.
Cryptocurrency exchanges, which are platforms where users buy and sell cryptos, make strategic decisions when listing a new #memecoin, evaluating each point such as:
Trump's team is considering a new role in the White House focused on cryptocurrency policy
The team of elected President Donald Trump is considering creating a position specifically focused on cryptocurrency policy, marking a novelty in the White House, according to Bloomberg.
Trump's team is evaluating candidates for that position, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday, citing individuals familiar with the matter.
It is unclear whether the position would be more similar to a senior staff position in the White House or that of a "cryptocurrency czar," Bloomberg reported.
Trump embraced cryptocurrencies during last year's electoral season when he promised to fire the chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Gary Gensler, pledged to commute the life sentence of Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, create a Presidential Cryptocurrency Advisory Council, and establish a national strategic reserve of bitcoins. #BTC☀ #Bitcoin❗ #donaldtrump #BinanceSquareFamily #BitcoinStrategy $BTC

Imagine a financial revolution where humor, culture, and community drive the economy
Memecoins are not just the next big novelty in #cryptocurrency, they are about to redefine the entire landscape of global finance.
They represent the democratization of wealth creation, where anyone with an idea, a meme, or a shared cultural identity can participate in financial markets.
This is more than a trend, it is a seismic shift where the power of virality, social media, and collective belief systems can overshadow traditional financial metrics.
Memecoins will be the bridge that brings the digital and cultural zeitgeist directly to the heart of financial systems around the world, making finance more accessible, appealing, and reflective of the people's voice.
Frenzy Alert, JPMorgan's Bitcoin Retail Sentiment Index Hits All-Time High
As BTC surpassed the $93,000 mark last week and inflows to U.S. spot ETFs and cryptocurrency stocks increased, JPMorgan's retail sentiment score rose to a record 4. The measure is designed to gauge retail investors' sentiment towards cryptocurrencies, particularly bitcoin, based on activity in the BTC product family, including spot ETFs.
"Within the ETF space, demand for Bitcoin ETFs was particularly strong (IBIT +3.4z) following the election results. The demand for Bitcoin was also reflected in COIN (+6z). In fact, its sentiment score for the Bitcoin family (both for physical ETFs and others) soared to a multi-sigma high," the JPMorgan equity research team said in a client note last week, which analyzed the imbalance in retail orders.
BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF Hits New Daily Volume Record as BTC Surpasses $88,000
As Bitcoin surpassed $88,000 for the first time on Monday, BlackRock's BTC spot exchange-traded fund set a new daily trading volume record, according to Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas.
BlackRock's spot bitcoin ETF generated $4.5 billion in daily trading volume, according to Balchunas, who posted the results on X.
"The Bitcoin Industrial Complex (ETF + MSTR, COIN) saw $38 billion in trading volume today, which is an all-time high everywhere, including $IBIT which saw $4.5 billion, indicating a solid week of capital inflows. It was a crazy day, truly deserving of a name like Volmageddon." #BTCBreaks88k #MicrosoftBitcoinRejection #BTC☀ #Bitcoin❗ #BinanceSquareFamily $BTC
Since Trump's victory in the elections, the cryptocurrency market capitalization has increased by $400 billion, with Dogecoin emerging as the best-performing currency after the elections, with an impressive surge of 92% in the last week.
💰 Bitcoin has risen by 17%. 💰 Ethereum by 29%. 💰 Solana by 29%.
In two of the last five days, the daily trading volume has reached $200 billion. Binance's spot volume increased to $42 billion this Sunday, compared to $12 billion the previous Sunday.
Solana joins $100 billion club, hits near three-year high above $210
The fourth-largest cryptocurrency could potentially hit its 2021 all-time high of $260 in the coming days given its relative strength through the cryptocurrency’s eight-month-long consolidation phase, one analyst noted.
Sol surpassed its March-April cycle highs and touched $212 for the first time since the peak of the 2021 crypto bull market. The token has gained 34% over the week, leading BTC’s 18% move and the broader market’s CD20 index’s 27% advances. SOL’s all-time high was $260, or just over 20% above the current price of $214.
This week’s gains catapulted Sol to a market cap of over $100 billion, joining only three other cryptocurrencies with a much longer history above that threshold Bitcoin, of course, the leading layer-1 smart contract platform Ethereum and the stablecoin Tether USDT.
Can Solana Overtake Ethereum?
The “turnaround” chatter has returned to x on crypto, though this time it’s about the idea that Solana’s market cap of $$SOL could at some point surpass that of $ETH, which currently sits at around $389 billion.
Solana’s milestone has broader implications for the cryptocurrency market, noted Julien Bittel, head of macro research at Global Macro Investor. SOL broke out of an eighth-month-long sideways consolidation channel, suggesting that the broader cryptocurrency bull market may have entered the most explosive phase, often referred to as the “banana zone” for its near-vertical rally. #SolanaUSTD #SOL #AltCoinSeason #SOLFutureRise #BinanceSquareFamily $SOL
Bitcoin to benefit from Trump presidency and MicroStrategy plan
Now that Donald Trump has won the US presidency, both gold and bitcoin are expected to perform well, according to JPMorgan analysts, who highlight the "debasement trade."
Debasement trading refers to an investment strategy that profits from the devaluation or weakening of a currency, usually due to inflationary or expansionary fiscal policies. In this trade, investors buy assets such as gold and bitcoin, which are seen as stores of value that can maintain their value even when a currency's purchasing power declines.
"Currency devaluation is likely to be reinforced by both tariffs and geopolitical tensions, as well as expansionary fiscal policy ('debt debasement')," JPMorgan analysts, led by managing director Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, wrote in a report on Wednesday. "We do not see the initial negative reaction of the gold market as a rejection of 'currency debasement' following Trump's victory. After all, bitcoin, the other component of 'currency debasement', rallied following Trump's victory."
Gold and bitcoin prices expected to rise
The pace of central banks' gold purchases will be crucial in determining the gold price trajectory through 2025, JPMorgan analysts said. Central banks significantly increased their gold holdings in 2022 after the war in Ukraine broke out and sanctions were imposed on Russia, the analysts noted. While the People's Bank of China, the country's central bank, has halted its gold purchases since last April, ongoing tariffs and geopolitical tensions are expected to prompt further diversification by central banks, including the People's Bank of China, away from dollar reserves and toward gold. #BTC☀ #Bitcoin❗ $BTC
The question we're all asking ourselves Are you ready for the bull run that could be right around the corner❓📈💥
After a period of consolidation, the crypto market is starting to show clear signs that something big could be about to happen. Institutional adoption is booming, 250 pro-crypto congressmen who could start working on regulations to make them clearer, and, if that weren't enough, investor confidence is returning. Everything seems to indicate that the bull run is about to arrive!
But, as always, volatility is the queen of this space. The gains can be big, but the falls can also be fast. 🏃💨
So, the big question is
🔑Are you really ready for the bull run? Have you reviewed your strategies?
Do you know the risks, the key signals to follow, and, above all, your investment limits?
Or are you waiting for a final confirmation signal before entering?
The triumph of #Trump is also that of cryptocurrencies
Gensler and the regulatory clouds will likely disappear
The former U.S. president #donaldtrump will return to the White House, after obtaining 277 electoral votes, more than enough to defeat the vice president #kamalaHarris and forecasting a more permissive regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies in the world's largest economy. #BTC☀ #BinanceSquareFamily $BTC
Chainlink, UBS Asset Management, and Swift complete a pilot project to extract cash from tokenized funds
The pilot project was carried out as part of the Guardian Project of the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
Blockchain company Chainlink, global financial messaging platform Swift, and the asset management unit of Swiss bank UBS announced that they successfully concluded a pilot test of the ability to settle and redeem fiat cash from tokenized funds.
The project, completed as part of the Guardian Project of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), demonstrated how Swift's infrastructure can facilitate cash settlements off-chain for tokenized funds. It also shows how tokenization and blockchain can work to enhance, not replace, Swift, which connects over 11,500 financial institutions in more than 200 countries.
As Singapore and other jurisdictions around the world offer more tokenized funds, the ability to obtain quick and efficient access to cash (which is what the multibillion-dollar traditional finance (TradFi) industry wants to establish) is important.
"I think this shows where we are headed with our work with Swift and how it can be useful for various parts of the financial services industry," said Sergey Nazarov, co-founder of Chainlink, in an interview.
Nazarov stated that the pilot allows the vast market of TradFi investors to subscribe to tokenized funds through a Swift transfer they are already familiar with, rather than a stablecoin, a central bank digital currency (CBDC), or another digital asset.
"We have been emphasizing the need for the large institutional market, where most of the world's value currently resides, to flow into the blockchain industry for years. Now we are helping to facilitate this transition in a reliable, technical, and secure manner," Nazarov said. #chainlik #LINK🔥🔥🔥 $LINK #BinanceSquareFamily #HotTrens
Bitcoin Spot ETFs See $541 Million Outflows, Largest Daily Negative Flow Since May
Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the United States saw net outflows of $541 million on Monday, marking their largest daily net outflow since May 1 and the second-largest negative flow since trading began in January.
“Following last week’s record inflows, some degree of rebalancing is expected as investors take profits and adjust their portfolios in anticipation of market volatility,” said Rachael Lucas, cryptocurrency analyst at BTCMarkets. “The timing is likely to coincide with the upcoming US election results, as many market participants take a ‘wait-and-see’ stance amid heightened geopolitical and political uncertainty.”
Eight bitcoin spot ETFs saw net outflows yesterday, with Fidelity’s FBTC seeing net outflows of $169.6 million. Monday also marked FBTC’s second-largest daily net outflow since its debut, according to data from SoSoValue.
21Shares’ Ark and ARKB saw net outflows of $138.26 million, and Bitwise’s BITB had net outflows of $79.84 million. Grayscale’s GBTC and its Mini Bitcoin Trust also reported net outflows of $63.66 million and $89.49 million, respectively. Franklin Templeton, VanEck, and Valkyrie funds also saw net outflows on Monday.
The only net inflows yesterday came from BlackRock’s IBIT, the largest spot bitcoin ETF by net assets, which saw $38.42 million in net inflows.
New global stablecoin in dollars backed by Robinhood, Kraken, Paxos, and other heavyweights in the cryptocurrency world
The Global Dollar Network, whose participants will earn returns by helping to foster the adoption of USDG, also includes Anchorage Digital, Bullish, Galaxy Digital, and Nuvei.
A group of heavyweights in the cryptocurrency space is backing a new regulation-focused stablecoin, Global Dollar (USDG), which aims to return the earnings generated from its reserve assets to participants who help accelerate its adoption.
Known as the Global Dollar Network, the original partners are Anchorage Digital, Bullish, Galaxy Digital, Kraken, Nuvei, Paxos, and Robinhood.
The USDG stablecoin is issued from Singapore by Paxos and "substantially complies" with the upcoming stablecoin framework of the Monetary Authority of Singapore, according to a press release.
"This is meant to really be a community token," said Paxos CEO Charles Cascarilla in an interview. "Anyone can join the Global Dollar Network and earn rewards for the activity. We are distributing something like 97% of the economy. That’s a big difference from how other stablecoins have been set up and created to date."
The income generated from the USDG reserves, which like many stablecoins are U.S. Treasury bonds, will be shared among participants based on how these companies can create connectivity and liquidity, Cascarilla said.
"The way we’ve organized this is that participants receive rewards for activities that help increase the utility of the network," he said. "That could be for various activities; different participants may receive rewards in different ways, because not everyone does the same thing, and that’s what makes an ecosystem thrive." #USElections2024Countdown #BinanceSquareFamily #HotTrens #USDG #TetherAEDLaunch

Solana recorded its highest number of monthly active addresses, surpassing 120 million in October
Solana had its highest monthly number of active addresses last month, more than 123 million.
The number of unique addresses that signed transactions on Solana increased by more than 42% compared to the September figure. The network had fewer than 12.7 million active addresses in January of this year.
Analysts say that the recent surge in Solana's activity is driven by the growing popularity of memecoin trading on the network, supported by platforms such as the memecoin generation app Pumpfun and the decentralized exchange Raydium, which experienced strong activity over the last month.
This comes after the October a16z State of Crypto report showed over 100 million monthly active addresses on Solana compared to approximately 57 million on Ethereum and other EVM chains, suggesting greater user engagement on Solana.
Pumpfun had a monthly income of over $30.5 million in October, while Raydium recorded a trading volume of over $30 billion during the month, according to data from DefiLlama.
"Specifically, Pumpfun has recorded a record number of new tokens launched in October, while Raydium also recorded the highest monthly volume in the same month," noted Eden Au, research director at The Block. #Solana #sol #Solana_Blockchain #BinanceSquareFamily #HotTrens $SOL
Bernstein raises its price estimate for bitcoin for Harris's victory to $50,000, keeps Trump at $80-90K
Analysts at the research and brokerage firm Bernstein predict a target price of $200,000 by the end of 2025, regardless of the outcome of the U.S. elections on Tuesday.
Republican Donald Trump is seen as the pro-cryptocurrency candidate compared to the potential continuation of Kamala Harris's aggressive stance on cryptocurrencies over the past four years, although the party has shown a marked shift in tone in recent months.
The main drivers of Bitcoin are The fiscal indiscipline of the United States Record levels of debt Monetary expansion, which increases the demand for hard assets And the success of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs further accelerates this trend with enough room for growth, the analysts said.
