The Bitcoin (BTC) bullish delay, amid ongoing Ethereum (ETH) pump, has increased the odds of a memecoin season, led by Solana-based memecoins that have been launched through the letsBONK.fun platform. According to market aggregate data from coingecko, top Solana memes gained 10% in the past 24 hours, led by Pudgy Penguins (PENGU).
The top Pump.fun memecoins by market cap gained 11% to hover about $4.9 billion. Meanwhile, the top LetsBONK.fun Memecoins by market cap surged by 45% to hover around $657 million at the time of this writing.
Why LetsBONK.fun Triumphed Against Pump.fun
The speculative demand for the memecoins launched through letsBONK.fun stems from the palpable success of the Pump.fun platform. As Coinpedia previously reported, the Pump.fun team raised $500 million in 12 minutes through its $PUMP’s Initial Coin Offering (ICO).
As a result, more crypto investors have been betting on the success of LetsBONK.fun, which is backed by the largest memecoin on the Solana network dubbed Bonk (BONK). Furthermore, the LetsBONK.fun platform has reputable developers and investors backings in addition to a higher rate of token graduation.
In the past 24 hours, LetsBONK.fun platform recorded a revenue of about $1.97 million while Pump.fun registered around $429 million.
Why Useless Coin Topped the List
The Useless Coin (USELESS) gained 23% in the past 24 hours to trade about 33 cents on Tuesday July 22 during the late-North American session. The small-cap altcoin, with a fully diluted valuation of about $333 million and a 24-hour average trading volume of around $43 million, signaled a rally to a new all-time high (ATH) soon.
Furthermore, the Useless Coin team announced the memecoin will be available on BNB chain and Solana interchangeably through the Chainlink (LINK) network.
Ethereum continues to hold its rank as a leading blockchain platform, maintaining strong developer engagement and network activity. However, Lightchain AI is holding the heat with tactical movement into its final presale stage, signaling growing momentum and investor confidence.
Having completed 14 of its 15 presale phases, Lightchain AI’s AI-native blockchain platform features a dedicated virtual machine and a consensus model that rewards meaningful computation.
As it prepares for the Bonus Round and the July 2025 mainnet launch, Lightchain AI is gaining traction among builders and traders looking for the next wave of innovation and long-term utility in the crypto space.
Ethereum Maintains Market Position Amid Ongoing Network Developments
The second place has been held by Ethereum, whose market cap was about 196.1 billion U.S. dollars as of April 2025. This resistance is due to continued network development, such as the Pectra update that seeks to improve transaction times and lower fees.
Ether is still the king of DeFi, capturing 54.2% of the total value locked in the ecosystem, in the face of competition from faster and cheaper platforms like Solana. The flexibility and ongoing development of the network made it a solid base for smart contracts and DApps.
Lightchain AI Advances Strategically Into Its Final Presale Phase
Lightchain AI is advancing strategically into its final presale phase, building on the momentum of completing all 15 earlier stages with $21.1 million raised. This Bonus Round offers fixed pricing, creating a prime opportunity for investors to enter before mainnet launch.
The platform’s tokenomics emphasize fairness and sustainability, allocating 40% of tokens to presale and 15% to staking rewards, with the original 5% Team Allocation fully reallocated to ecosystem growth and developer incentives. Validator staking mechanisms are tested and live, supporting network security and decentralization.
Lightchain’s low-latency AIVM enables efficient AI task execution, while upcoming public repository releases ensure transparency and open-source collaboration. Cross-chain infrastructure and DeFi partnership onboarding further extend utility, making this final presale phase a critical step toward scalable, community-driven success.
Strategic Moves and Rising Momentum — Lightchain AI Gears Up for Next Big Wave
Lightchain AI is charging ahead, perfectly positioned for its next growth surge. With 15 presale stages wrapped up and over $21 million raised, the Bonus Round is igniting excitement among strategic buyers.
Public GitHub access, validator nodes, and developer grants are driving real momentum, turning hype into tangible progress. Lightchain AI isn’t just riding the wave of decentralized AI innovation—it’s leading it. The future starts here.
Don’t miss your chance to join this groundbreaking journey. Secure your tokens now and help shape a smarter, decentralized tomorrow.

The Czech National Bank (CNB) made a notable shift in its investment strategy during the second quarter of 2025, increasing its exposure to the cryptocurrency sector through US equities.
According to a quarterly filing submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the central bank acquired 51,732 shares of Coinbase Global. The Brian Armstrong-led firm is the largest US-based cryptocurrency exchange and the only crypto firm in the S&P 500 index.
The financial regulator has not publicly commented on the rationale behind its updated portfolio. According to the filing, the CNB held approximately $12.8 billion in US-listed equities as of June 30.
Market analysts noted that the move aligns with the bank’s strategy of holding S&P 500 constituents as part of its reserves. This approach allows the firm to gain indirect exposure to fast-evolving industries like crypto and artificial intelligence.
“An asset under consideration is Bitcoin. It currently has zero correlation to bonds and is an interesting asset for a large portfolio. Worth considering,” said Czech National Bank Governor, Aleš Michl.
Though no such purchase has been confirmed, the announcement has sparked significant market interest. If realized, the move could position the Czech National Bank as one of the first Western central banks to hold Bitcoin on its balance sheet.
Michl has emphasized the importance of studying Bitcoin and its underlying blockchain technology rather than dismissing it. In his view, a better understanding of Bitcoin could strengthen central banks by equipping them for the evolving financial space.
“I stated that bitcoin is highly volatile and could one day be worth one of two extremes – either zero or a huge amount. I also stressed that bitcoin is a high-risk asset for professional investors who are aware of all the risks,” Michl noted.
Tomas Greif, chief product officer at Braiins Mining, noted that even without a direct Bitcoin allocation, the CNB now holds indirect exposure through Coinbase and Tesla. He added that this exposure could increase further once MicroStrategy joins the S&P 500.
Still, Greif cautioned that if the CNB intends to buy Bitcoin directly, the window for entering at favorable prices may be closing.
For now, the bank’s actions indicate a cautious yet deliberate interest in the crypto sector. This signals a potential shift in how traditional financial institutions view digital assets in their reserves.
Rexas Finance (RXS) has emerged as the leading topic in crypto circles in Q1 2025, overshadowing even long-established tokens. Its unique value proposition in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization has gained substantial attention from both retail and institutional investors. With its presale nearly sold out and a significant listing price surge expected, Rexas leads the list of the five most talked-about cryptos this quarter.
Rexas Finance enables users to tokenize assets like real estate, art, and commodities, giving global investors fractional access. This innovation sets it apart from speculative coins, as tangible assets and real utility back RXS. As a result, market participants are treating RXS as a credible long-term investment rather than a short-term trend. The presale phase has exceeded expectations, raising over $47 million and selling over 91% of the total allocation. The token’s price increased over sixfold from $0.03 to $0.20, and it is set to list at $0.25.
This growth and real-world use have intensified investor interest ahead of the June 19 launch. Rexas Finance also focused on building investor confidence through a full Certik audit, assuring users of its secure infrastructure. Community engagement remains strong, highlighted by a $1 million giveaway with over 1.65 million participants. With momentum building, experts consider Rexas the most promising crypto project of 2025, and adoption is expected to accelerate further.
Trust Wallet Token (TWT) Expands Utility Through Growing Ecosystem
Trust Wallet Token continues to grow steadily as it crosses 200 million downloads, making it one of the top self-custody wallets. TWT is trading at $0.9021, with minor gains in the past 24 hours and consistent trading activity. The platform’s decision to remove swap fees on the BNB Smart Chain has increased daily users. Based on current usage metrics, analysts forecast a potential April high of $1.548, indicating a possible 71.61% price surge.
However, May might bring a correction with the price averaging near $0.712, offering short-term trading opportunities. Still, rising demand for non-custodial wallets may drive steady long-term performance for TWT. While Trust Wallet shows steady growth, it lacks the innovation edge Rexas Finance brings with RWA tokenization.
Rexas’ tangible asset backing and rising presale numbers are drawing investor attention away from speculative utility tokens like TWT. As real-world use cases take center stage, Rexas continues gaining momentum in 2025.
Render (RNDR) Leads in Decentralized GPU Sharing for 3D Projects
Render offers a blockchain-based GPU marketplace, supporting artists and developers in rendering complex 3D designs affordably and efficiently. The platform enables GPU owners to rent out unused power, monetizing dormant resources while supporting creative industries. Demand for 3D rendering continues rising across gaming, entertainment, and virtual reality sectors. This increased need positions Render as a strong investment option, especially with traditional rendering proving costly and time-consuming.
Blockchain simplifies transactions and ensures transparency, making Render’s platform attractive for both GPU owners and digital creators. It stands out among niche projects but remains largely utility-based. Though Render has carved out a valuable niche, it still doesn’t match the scale of real-world impact seen in Rexas Finance. Rexas’ infrastructure allows real estate, commodities, and other hard assets to be tokenized and traded globally. This positions Rexas as a more comprehensive solution than sector-specific platforms like Render.
Tezos (XTZ)
Tezos continues to attract developers and enterprises due to its self-amending blockchain and focus on energy-efficient proof-of-stake consensus. The blockchain’s ability to upgrade without hard forks has allowed continuous innovation without disrupting the network. Furthermore, on-chain voting keeps the network decentralized and community-driven.
The protocol’s strategic partnerships with governments and institutions underline its long-term utility and potential for mainstream adoption. Its expanding ecosystem of dApps and NFTs also supports greater network activity and developer interest. However, growth has been gradual, and the project remains focused on infrastructure development.
Unlike Tezos, Rexas Finance presents a clear path to immediate utility by directly addressing traditional finance limitations. Its platform is already active in a multibillion-dollar RWA market, where asset tokenization is expected to scale rapidly. This gives Rexas an edge over infrastructure-focused platforms with slower adoption curves.
Toncoin (TON) Rebounds Amid Leadership Clarity and Growing User Base
Toncoin recently regained traction following the release of Telegram founder Pavel Durov from French custody after legal scrutiny. TON has regained investor trust with 3–5 million active wallets and monthly trading volumes approaching $700 million. Additionally, $1.4 billion worth of USDT issued on the network boosts its credibility. The TON blockchain continues growing within Telegram’s ecosystem, offering seamless integration with messaging services and financial tools. While still 25% down year-to-date, the token posted an 8.3% gain in the past week following favorable news. Investors are cautiously optimistic as legal hurdles appear resolved.
However, compared to TON, Rexas Finance is building from a more transparent and secure foundation with community-driven growth. Certified audits, successful presales, and real-world asset integration offer Rexas a stronger narrative for Q2 2025. Among all discussed projects, Rexas remains the most comprehensive and high-potential investment.
