It’s been a wild week in crypto with memecoins juggling bananas, peanuts, and gas emissions (literally). But beyond the circus, there are signals worth decoding. Altcoins are pulsing with life, centralized exchange tokens are stumbling, and Crypto Twitter is losing its collective mind. Here's our breakdown of where the money’s moving—and why it might actually make sense.
M and BANANAS31 post massive 21%+ gains, leading a memecoin resurgence.
CRO climbs 20% with renewed interest in its app ecosystem.
TKX drops 10% amid fears over centralized exchange scrutiny.
Cosmos-based PNUT gains traction with new governance chatter.
Crypto Twitter alights with meme seasons predictions and animal-themed token signals.
It’s been a monkey business kind of week—and we mean that literally. Our top market mover M token rocketed up 21.71%, barely beating out BANANAS31, which peeled its way to a ripping 21.64% gain. CRO followed closely on their tailpipes, up 20.58%, and even FLOKI the Viking pup posted a strong showing with an 11.37% boost. Is this meme season 2.0? Or just another layer in the great liquidity game we call crypto trading?
Meanwhile, the top losers tell a different tale. Gate.io’s TKX stumbled down 10.1%, raising eyebrows about centralized exchange tokens in a week where regulatory chatter picked up. FARTCOIN continued to prove its utility is as flatulent as its name, dropping 6.91%. And newcomers like SYRUP and B, which pumped hard last week, saw minor retracements—signaling some froth evaporation in microcaps.
Crypto Twitter was in full swing. Word on the Bird App is that new capital is flowing back into high-beta altcoins, especially those with animal faces. Speculation is that casual market participants, priced out of BTC and ETH, are chasing those banana yields elsewhere. Influencers with eight-figure followings (and possibly nine-figure bags) are posting banana emojis, while FLOKI army raids mention threads like it’s 2021 again.
Also trending: Cosmos adjacent chatter resurged after PNUT—yes, that’s right, an interchain liquidity memetoken—jumped 11% following rumors of a governance proposal linking it more closely with Osmosis incentives. Could we be seeing the next DeFi-NFT crossover season on ATOM’s turf?
The 10.1% drop in TKX comes at a curious time. Right as rumors circulate about increased scrutiny on offshore exchanges, particularly those operating without transparency. While Binance has managed to distance itself from peak fear in this cycle, it appears Gate.io's native token wasn’t spared. Trading volumes dropped sharply, and sell pressure from large holders—likely reacting to macro FUD—flushed it lower.
Interestingly, this aligns with falling open interest on derivatives trades involving TKX, suggesting that degens may be rotating away from CEX speculation in favor of unhinged memecoin gambling. Can’t say we blame them, given the gains this week.
The broader altcoin market’s bounce parallels ETH cooling off just below $3,200. Smart money rotation is back with a vengeance, and CRO's 20.58% pump is a case study. Crypto.com’s aggressive push into staking incentives and NFT drops inside their app has started to pay off—especially in Southeast Asian user acquisition, according to local chatter. Institutional interest may be cool this summer, but retail’s getting warm again.
What’s particularly notable is that flows to CRO-based liquidity pools have spiked by 18% on average this week, according to Dune Analytics, with TVL seeing the first meaningful uptick in months. There may be life in those app-based ecosystems yet.
When memecoins dominate multiple top gainer spots, your immediate reaction might be: time to de-risk. But that may miss the real sentiment shift that’s occurring. Traders aren’t just taking moonshots—they’re actively rotating into volatility plays, a historically bullish signal. Altseason signals? Perhaps. Mid-tier altcoins with liquidity and meme potential are faring better than many large-caps, especially those bogged down by validator drama or regulatory pressure.
FLOKI’s 11.37% climb may pale in comparison to M, but the sustainability of its rally—especially with increased Telegram activity and community wallet transparency—hints at a more organized effort. Whether that’s good or bad depends on your appetite for chaos as a service.
With BTC hovering around $61,200 and ETH testing support near $3,150, analysts are eyeing key resistance breaks. If major caps can consolidate here, the tailwinds for memecoins and liquidity tokens may continue. On-chain activity in Solana and Cosmos chains is also rising, potentially foreshadowing a cross-chain DeFi revival—or at least a funky summer art project or two.
Watch for banana coins on Avalanche, peanuts on Cosmos, and fart tokens on BNB Chain. Only in crypto could that sentence not merit a mental health checkup.

Watch for banana coins on Avalanche, peanuts on Cosmos, and fart tokens on BNB Chain. Only in crypto could that sentence not merit a mental health checkup.
Rumors of new governance shifts in Cosmos networks spark interest in lesser-known tokens like PNUT. Meanwhile, regulatory jitters about offshore exchanges weigh on utility tokens like TKX. Crypto Twitter is abuzz with speculation about retail's return to high-volatility plays.
Don’t ignore memecoins with liquidity flows. Use Telegram activity, wallet tracking, and DEX volume spikes as leading indicators for potential breakouts in the alt market.
