The cryptosphere has just witnessed an unexpected jolt with the launch of MELANIA, the memecoin created by Melania Trump, now the First Lady of the United States. Deployed on the Solana blockchain, this token reached a spectacular market capitalization of 5 billion dollars in just one hour. This caused a shockwave in the market. However, such rapid success had direct consequences on the memecoin TRUMP, associated with Donald Trump, which saw its value plummet by 38%. This event sheds more light on how public figures influence crypto dynamics and raises new questions about the relationship between popularity and blockchain innovation.

The memecoin $TRUMP shook up the crypto market this weekend, seeing its value soar by 490% in less than 24 hours. This spectacular performance could have quintupled the fortune of former U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump, according to analysts.

The cryptosphere is going through a period of uncertainty marked by sustained volatility in the markets. Among the most monitored assets, Shiba Inu (SHIB) particularly draws attention. This memecoin, often compared to Dogecoin, is at the heart of an intense mobilization of its community, which recently burned over 66 million tokens to reduce the circulating supply. Despite these efforts, the price of SHIB has plunged, highlighting the limits of token burn mechanisms in the face of market forces. This situation raises questions about the effectiveness of these strategies in a complex economic context.

The Solana blockchain has just written a new chapter in its history and reached a historical peak, with its native token SOL valued at nearly 269 dollars.

In just 24 hours, the trading volume of this token surpassed that of Dogecoin, confirming Solana as a major platform for memecoins. This event reignites discussions on the potential and risks of blockchains centered around these atypical assets.

Such a message, which propels Dogecoin to the forefront, fuels speculation about an unprecedented rapprochement between this popular crypto and government initiatives, thus opening up new perspectives for the crypto ecosystem.

However, a recent drop of about 10% in network activity is beginning to raise concerns. Does this decline mark a simple adjustment, or does it signal deeper troubles for this blockchain?

XRP and Solana: Rally or Downturn? The crypto market is facing new instability. Detailed analysis in this article!

On the crypto market, AI tokens are stumbling: billions evaporate, and artificial intelligence reveals a very human limit, that of rampant speculation.

Investor appetite for altcoins continues to grow, as evidenced by the spectacular increase in their trading volume on Binance, which now accounts for 78% of the platform's activity. This record level raises questions: is the market on the verge of a new bull run for altcoins? According to Burakkesmeci, an analyst at CryptoQuant, this development is a strong signal that reinforces the hypothesis of a bullish market in 2025. However, despite this enthusiasm, some indicators remain mixed. Bitcoin still dominates the market with 57.74% of the total market capitalization, and the Altcoin Season Index, down to 46 out of 100, does not yet confirm a significant shift towards altcoins. In the face of these contradictory signals, the current dynamics reflect more of a gradual rise in power than a real immediate cycle change.

The crypto market evolves with the fluctuations, swinging between bursts of enthusiasm and periods of doubt. However, some assets manage to maintain their appeal despite the prevailing volatility. XRP perfectly illustrates this resilience, showing a clear resurgence in activity following a phase of uncertainty. Over 2 million transactions were recorded in a single day, a level rarely reached in recent months. This explosion in transaction volume goes beyond a mere usage indicator. It reflects a strengthening of the network, confirming renewed interest from investors and market players. At the same time, the price of XRP has stabilized above the key supports of $2.30 and $2.20, indicating bullish potential. If this momentum continues, XRP could regain a central place in the crypto transaction landscape and strengthen its long-term adoption.

Dogecoin is going through a decisive phase. For several days, its price has been fluctuating around $0.33, a key level that attracts the attention of analysts and investors. This threshold relies on a major support line, seen as a bulwark against a possible more pronounced correction. So far, DOGE is holding steady, but for how much longer? According to Trader Tardigrade, a closely followed analyst, the crypto may be finalizing a "selling climax bottom," a technical structure that often precedes a bullish reversal. However, if this scenario is confirmed, it would mark the end of the correction and pave the way for a significant rebound. Meanwhile, whales are heavily accumulating tokens, which strengthens the hypothesis of an imminent recovery. For DOGE, the stakes are high: maintaining its support and initiating a bullish trend before the market changes direction.
