In today’s crypto market snapshot, we explore the explosive rise of low caps like AXL and stronger plays emerging from DeFi OGs, including COMP and UNI. Whether you’re a trader or just watching memecoins fly, there’s a lot to unpack.
1. DeFi tokens show strong buying: COMP (+28.57%) and UNI (+24.58%) supported by rising volumes and TVL data.
2. Meme interest fuels obscure token rallies: AXL (+62.08%) lifted by social media hype.
3. Rotation away from underperforming tokens like KET (-10%).
4. Trader sentiment improving—LunarCrush shows 17% social engagement rise week over week.
5. Low liquidity environment intensifying effect of whale order flows.
After weeks of consolidation and sideways price action, the crypto market finally caught a gust of bullish wind. Amidst this invigorating atmosphere, one name stole the spotlight—AXL, with a staggering 62.08% daily gain. Yes, you read that right. In a market where double-digit daily gains are rare outside of meme frenzy seasons, AXL seemed to party like it's altseason all over again.
Other notable top gainers include LAUNCHCOIN (30.00%), COMP (28.57%), UNI (24.58%), and AIOZ (22.79%). These moves didn’t happen in a vacuum either. Industry chatter on Crypto Twitter provides major clues about the undercurrents driving this rally.
Compound (COMP) and Uniswap (UNI) sparked significant excitement, posting bullish breakouts with 28.57% and 24.58% gains, respectively. The rally followed a viral Twitter thread from @DefiAlpha, noting a sudden spike in protocol activity and TVL across major DeFi platforms. On-chain data supports this narrative: Uniswap’s daily volume eclipsed $2.1B, its highest in three months.
COMP’s move was also bolstered by speculative buzz around a potential Compound v4 beta, aimed at enhancing cross-chain lending functionalities. The resurgence of these OG DeFi names could suggest a rotation in capital flows back into more established networks as traders seek relative safety in volatile alt environments.
AXL’s jaw-dropping 62% ascent comes on the back of some speculative fuel and, quite possibly, a Reddit-fueled meme frenzy. With no known fundamental update (cue the shrug emoji), social sentiment scraped from Twitter and Telegram groups suggests coordinated interest from several prominent crypto influencers hyping next-gen interoperability chains. Whether the bullish momentum is sustainable remains to be seen, but the breakout underscores how fast low-cap tokens can catch fire—especially in a low-liquidity updraft.
LAUNCHCOIN’s 30% rise comes amid news of an upcoming token utility upgrade tied to launchpads betting on Base chain integrations. The team has been dropping hints about new IDOs, and we all know how crypto loves a good rebranding + relaunch narrative.
Meanwhile, AIOZ—which has roots in decentralized content delivery—popped 22.79%, likely owing to a rising wave of hype on decentralized video infra as YouTube alternatives continue to face platform scrutiny. Crypto Twitter has been hot on AIOZ’s tail since a viral thread showcased its usage metrics rocketing 200% month-over-month.
As with every rally, some coins missed the train—or got left behind at the station. Leading the slide were:
KET and ZBCN saw sharp declines amid rumors of dev team inactivity, while LEO—the utility token of Bitfinex—drifted lower due to declining exchange volumes. KTA and MWC didn’t have specific catalysts but seem to have suffered the usual fate of rotation as capital flew to hotter names.
Twitter was a frenzy of activity with hashtags #DeFiSummer2, #DePIN, and #AltSeason trending. Data from LunarCrush confirms a 17% uptick in crypto engagement week over week, with COMP and AXL topping the “most mentioned” list. Even OG influencer Cobie re-emerged from his digital cave to tweet “DeFi’s back? Watch ur stables.”
Another interesting correlation? UNI and COMP peaked midday UTC—right after a key DEX liquidity whale posted a massive buy order that was promptly copied across multiple desks. The algo crowd took notice, no doubt.
Markets may be exhibiting classic mean reversion behavior after recent downturns. Coins like COMP and UNI were arguably oversold, trading at 70%+ below their 2021 highs. With fresh liquidity entering markets via Asia hours and the return of “low cap season” sentiment, short-term continuation seems likely barring macro shocks.
However, it’s key to watch volume sustainability. AXL could very well mean revert if it was merely a collective retail FOMO event. But COMP and UNI are showing structural signs of renewed investor focus—TVLs up, volume up, liquidity pools expanding. That’s something more serious traders have their eyes on.
The crypto markets are lighting up with volatility—aka opportunity. Whether you’re arbitraging inefficiencies in UNI’s rising volumes or market-making AIOZ across fragmented order books, this is a golden moment to lean in.
As sentiment heats up, be selective. Not every pump is fundamentally justified, and not every DeFi is built to survive another cycle. But when Uni and COMP move together—and TVL backs the story—it’s worth taking notice.

AXL’s 62% breakout is the talk of Crypto Twitter, as social sentiment and influencer amplification coalesce into a low-cap rocket. UNI and COMP’s double-digit gains are backed by increasing DEX usage and whispers of new protocol versions.
Watch for volume-backed rallies in DeFi blue chips. Tokens like COMP and UNI aren’t just speculative plays—they’re showing real protocol growth again. Follow liquidity flows to distinguish hype from signal.
