Santiment data shows five tokens—Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE), Tether (USDT) and MultiversX (EGLD)—drove the largest surge in online discussion as crypto markets closed the week.
Bitcoin dominated debate around its status as digital gold, long-term investment appeal and rising government and institutional involvement. Conversations also highlighted self-custody and running nodes as ways users try to secure the network and reduce counterparty risk.
Ethereum appeared frequently in promotional material for short-lived tokens marketed as easy to transfer and spend, underscoring how ether remains a go-to reference when projects pitch usability and token economics to new audiences.
Dogecoin’s spike in attention followed two headlines: a proposed U.S.-listed DOGE exchange-traded fund from Rex-Osprey and an expansion by Trump-backed Thumzup, which bought about 3,500 mining rigs. Both developments pushed DOGE back into public view.
Tether grabbed notice after executives discussed plans to increase investments across the gold supply chain, calling the metal “natural bitcoin” as the issuer broadens its holdings beyond purely digital assets.
Discussion of MultiversX centered on concerns about dilution from a potential increase in EGLD supply and worries some projects may migrate to other chains like Sui, even as teams continue work on services such as xPortal and xMoney.
