[Today's Global Trending Coins] Solana, Banker Coin, HyperLiquid and Others

According to the top gainers of Token Mindshare (a metric quantifying the influence of specific tokens in the virtual asset market) by the AI-based Web3 search platform Kaito, the top 5 virtual assets currently attracting the most attention as of the 24th are Solana (SOL), Banker Coin (BNKR), HyperLiquid (HYPE), Virtual Protocol (VIRTUAL), and Sophon (SOPHON).

Solana gained market attention due to the 'Solana Accelerate' conference held in New York, USA, from the 19th to the 23rd. In particular, WalletConnect announced an airdrop worth about $5 million along with the launch of its Solana-based token 'WCT', drawing investors' attention.

The addition of Solana to the list of assets available for betting by the US decentralized prediction market platform 'Kalshi' also had a positive effect. Kalshi previously supported USD Coin (USDC), Bitcoin (BTC), and World (WLD), with Solana newly included. On this day, Solana is trading at around $175, down 3.4% from the previous day in the Binance USDT market.

Banker Coin, which ranked second, is currently experiencing a deepening decline. Banker Coin traded on Elbank has plummeted about 16% from the previous day, falling to around $0.00028.

HyperLiquid has been on the rise following comments from Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX. Hayes predicted on the 22nd via X that "HyperLiquid will rise to $100," and the token price subsequently surged 17%, breaking through the $33 mark.

HyperLiquid recently received a request from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) for information related to on-chain derivatives and submitted official written materials. The company plans to use this contact as an opportunity to enter the institutional market.

Virtual Protocol is showing strength thanks to the success of the 'Genesis Launchpad', where participants accumulate contribution scores through staking and AI project participation. Following the launch of the launchpad in April, investor inflow continued, and as a result, Virtual Protocol broke through the $2 mark in about two weeks since May 9.

Additionally, investors are also showing interest in Sophon, Ethereum (ETH), Infinex (INFINEX), Huma Finance (HUMA), and Soon (SOON).
