Huobi HTX, with its strict asset screening and professional risk control system, continuously selects high-quality projects for users, helping them grasp trends in the cryptocurrency market.
In the past week (August 18 - August 25), the cryptocurrency market continued its structural trend, with some emerging sectors experiencing significant surges, boosting user sentiment. According to Huobi HTX data, multiple tokens achieved remarkable gains, with BSC Meme sector's DONKEY becoming the most dazzling star, soaring by 270% within the week, and a staggering 1990% over 30 days. Additionally, the DeSci rising star BIO quickly transformed into a "research top player," while blue-chip assets ETH and AAVE quietly increased, making the entire market a dual-stage of "short-term frenzy + long-term stability."
Meme Still the Traffic Leader: DONKEY and MEME Soar Together
In the past few rounds of market activity, the Meme sector has consistently acted as a barometer of capital sentiment. As the "light narrative + heavy community" model continues to gain acceptance in the market, the high volatility and popularity of the Meme sector may continue to release trading opportunities in the second half of the year.
● DONKEY (BSC Meme): The most explosive protagonist this week, with a weekly increase of 270% and a 30-day cumulative increase of nearly 1990%, becoming the market's most eye-catching dark horse. The underlying logic is the high activity of the community on the BSC chain, combined with the continuous fermentation of market sentiment and Meme culture narratives.
● MEME: An established Meme asset, with a weekly increase of 104%. MEME is the ecosystem token of Memeland. Memeland is a Web3 creative studio established by the globally popular meme platform 9GAG, inherently carrying Meme genes and boasting a large traditional internet user base.
Emerging Tracks: Highlights in DeSci and GameFi
In addition to the Meme frenzy, there are two sectors worth special attention this week.
● BIO (DeSci): A weekly increase of 240%, a definite dark horse. The DeSci (Decentralized Science) sector has gradually emerged in recent years through the exploration of the combination of global research and blockchain, and BIO's strong rise reflects not only the market's pursuit of innovative narratives but also highlights the potential of decentralized research in practical implementation.
● XTER (GameFi): An increase of 134% during the week. The GameFi sector is experiencing a resurgence after a period of silence. With continuous iterations in user experience and token economic design in the blockchain gaming sector, funds are once again flowing into some quality projects, and XTER's performance may indicate that the GameFi sector is brewing a new upward cycle.
Traditional Blue Chips: L1 and DeFi Steadily Rise
Compared to the explosive growth of Meme and emerging narratives, blue-chip assets continue to maintain a steady upward rhythm.
● QTUM (L1): A weekly increase of 57%. Qtum Blockchain (referred to as "Quantum Chain" or "Qtum") is committed to developing a third blockchain ecosystem beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. As an established public chain project, QTUM continues to release the potential of traditional public chains through the new round of on-chain activity and the cumulative effect of ecological applications.
● AAVE (DeFi): An increase of 17% this week. Aave is an open-source decentralized lending protocol that provides users with deposit and lending services. As a leader in the decentralized lending field, AAVE has once again gained market recognition due to its continuous protocol upgrades and stable user base.
● ETH (L1): A weekly increase of 8.8%, with ETH price surpassing $4700, and the mainnet TVL reaching a historic high of over $120 billion. As an industry infrastructure, ETH's position is unshakeable. With the continuous expansion of the Ethereum ecosystem in Layer 2 scaling and DeFi/NFT, ETH's steady rise also provides underlying confidence for the market.
