Summary

Bitcoin still holds the top spot in the virtual asset market, but investor concerns have grown due to a large transfer from dormant whales.
PumpFun drew significant attention from investors with its listing on centralized exchanges and the announcement of its upcoming listing on Coinbase.
Public company Sharplink Gaming massively purchased Ethereum, surpassing the Ethereum Foundation in total holdings and drawing investor interest.

According to the Token Mindshare, a metric on the AI-based web3 search platform Kaito that quantifies the influence of specific tokens in the virtual asset market, as of the 15th, the top 5 virtual asset-related keywords attracting the most attention are Bitcoin (BTC), PumpFun (PUMP), ProjectX (PROJECTX), Solana (SOL), and Ethereum (ETH).

Ranked first is Bitcoin, the leading virtual asset. Bitcoin experienced intraday weakness on this day, raising concerns among investors. In particular, there was speculation that dormant whales, inactive for 14 years, transferring large amounts of Bitcoin to Galaxy Digital might trigger selling pressure. In fact, after receiving Bitcoin from the whale, Galaxy Digital deposited the Bitcoin into exchanges such as Binance and Bybit.

PumpFun took second place. PumpFun attracted investor interest as it was newly listed on some centralized exchanges overnight. Notably, Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States, is also set to list PumpFun at 9:00 AM (EST) on the 15th.

ProjectX came in third. The new decentralized exchange (DEX) ProjectX was launched on this day, drawing attention from investors.

In fourth place is Solana. Interest surrounding PumpFun, which operates on Solana, naturally increased the mention count for Solana as well.

Ethereum claimed fifth place. The massive accumulation of Ethereum by publicly traded companies drew investor attention. On this morning, Sharplink Gaming made an additional purchase of 24,371 Ethereum through Coinbase Prime. As a result, Sharplink Gaming’s total Ethereum holdings reached 294,000, surpassing even the Ethereum Foundation.

Additionally, Arbitrum (ARB), XRP, Farcaster (FARCASTER), Raydium (RAY), and USDC also ranked among the top coins of interest to investors.
