The AI agent concept has recently gained significant traction in the crypto space, particularly AI agent memecoins. Moving beyond theoretical ideas, AI agents are now being applied across various fields, including autonomous execution of transactions on the blockchain, complex analytics, and even automating everyday tasks. Overall, the AI agent trend in crypto demonstrates considerable growth potential and technological innovation. However, investors and tech enthusiasts are advised to balance enthusiasm with rational assessment, focusing on genuine progress and practical applications of these projects. This articles recommends two projects, VIRTUAL and OLAS, both showcasing substantial advancements and real-world use cases with strong market support.
Memecoins have been gaining traction in the current market cycle, consistently drawing attention and capital. Established projects are now backing Pump.fun, a token launch platform, leveraging their brand and community resources to issue memecoins, engaging new users, and unlocking fresh capital for business growth. Fueled by the memecoin buzz, ApeChain's APE token surged by over 100% in a single day, reaching a three-month high. Additionally, Yuga Labs' NFT collections have seen a long-awaited recovery. Recently, major platforms and wallets have also begun actively supporting ApeChain. As a leading team from the NFT era, ApeChain shows strong development potential.
Recently, as market liquidity recovers, the crypto market—led by key assets like BTC and ETH—has started to rebound. Leading DeFi assets have continued to update their products amid six months of market volatility, maintaining their market dominance and leading positions. With the upcoming U.S. presidential election, both candidates are likely to propose favorable policies regarding DeFi and Web3 applications, potentially bolstering the sector. As a result, leading DeFi assets are expected to benefit from an early boost in liquidity recovery and may outperform the broader market in the coming months.
In the wake of the market narrative surrounding the "Solana Killer," SUI, which recently launched the Grayscale Sui Trust and Binance futures, has doubled in value within a month. The leading projects in the Sui ecosystem have also benefited from the generous subsidies and strong support provided by the Sui Foundation. This surge has brought numerous opportunities within the Sui ecosystem.
As the Federal Reserve begins its interest rate cut cycle, the cryptocurrency market is experiencing a broad recovery. Alongside mainstream assets like BTC and ETH, the AI sector has also rebounded rapidly. The convergence of AI and crypto has emerged as a compelling narrative in this market cycle, attracting numerous tech teams and venture capital firms. Leading projects in the space have shown significant growth. Recommended projects to watch closely include Bittensor (TAO), Near Protocol (NEAR), and Arkham (ARKM).
Liquid staking emerged after Ethereum transitioned from a proof-of-work to a proof-of-stake mechanism. Its primary goal is to enhance asset utility by allowing users to earn staking rewards while maintaining the liquidity of their staked positions. Currently, mainstream liquid staking protocols allow users to stake their assets in exchange for liquid staking tokens (LSTs). For instance, by staking ETH on platforms such as Lido, users receive stETH tokens. This approach is commonly referred to as "liquid staking derivatives" (LSDs). Since Binance hinted at collaborating with Sanctum to launch the Solana liquid staking token BNSOL, Sanctum's governance token CLOUD has gained significant attention, rising despite unfavorable market trends. On September 5, Bybit announced its partnership with Solayer to launch bbSOL. Additionally, major exchanges have unveiled plans to introduce Solana LST tokens. EigenLayer also began its second season of airdrop claims this week, with its governance token EIGEN potentially circulating by the end of September. The LSD and restaking sectors are gaining quiet momentum, potentially setting the stage for a new wave of hype around restaking within the SOL ecosystem.
US initial claims for unemployment insurance and the unemployment rate are being released this week, key factors influencing the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rate cuts in September. The market has been sluggish recently, with noticeable risk-averse sentiment. Bearish sentiment among community users and the arrest of Telecom's CEO, a black swan event, have further dampened the mood, resulting in average performance for blue-chip coins and altcoins. The market tends to fluctuate significantly when macroeconomic data is about to be released. It is reasonable to reduce leverage, maintain reasonable position sizes, and preserve funds to buy the dip. We will introduce upcoming token launches on Bitget, on-chain earning opportunities with USDT/USDC and SOL, and speculative targets in the Solana Liquid Staking (LSD) sector.
On August 12, the TRON ecosystem DEX, SUN.io, launched Sun Pump, the ecosystem's first memecoin issuance platform. Its goal is to provide creators with a convenient and cost-effective token issuance solution. As of August 21, Sun Pump has surpassed pump.fun in revenue and the number of new tokens issued. Some Meme coins issued on Sun Pump have shown astonishing performance. For example, SUNDOG increased by 10,156 times within 5 days and 8 hours of its creation, and FOFAR increased by 6176 times in 4 days and 6 hours. These skyrocketing memecoins have attracted significant attention from investors.
Since Q2 2024, despite the overall decline in the cryptocurrency market, one ecosystem has bucked the trend and delivered exceptional returns—the TON ecosystem. The price of TON has surged by over 3.5x since the beginning of the year and is currently fluctuating around $7, near its all-time high. Backed by Telegram's nearly 1 billion users, the TON ecosystem has developed a range of unique applications that have recently become a focal point within the community.
The uncertainty surrounding macroeconomic conditions and market reactions makes it challenging to predict short-term and mid-term market trends, with both black-swan and white-swan events possible at any time. Therefore, a rational approach would be to maintain a balanced position and reserve funds for potential dip-buying opportunities. In our last issue, we recommended several passive income products on Bitget. Now, we will introduce additional products based on USDT/USDC, BTC, and SOL, available both on Bitget and their respective blockchains. (While ETH-related LST and restaking projects have shown the highest potential returns lately, they are not included in our recommendations this time due to the high uncertainty of LST projects and their lack of flexibility in unstaking.)
