Why 2026 Looks Bullish, And What It Could Mean for TRX

Why 2026 Looks Bullish, And What It Could Mean for TRX

The crypto market is shifting toward a broadly bullish regime into 2026 as liquidity improves and risk appetite normalizes.

Regulatory clarity across major regions is reshaping the classic four-year cycle, flows can arrive earlier and persist longer.

Institutional access keeps expanding through ETFs and qualified custody, while L2 scaling and real-world integrations broaden utility.

Infrastructure maturity lowers frictions for capital, which supports deeper order books and more persistent participation.

This backdrop frames our scenario work for TRX.

The bands below map potential outcomes to different total crypto market sizes.

Use the table as a quick benchmark, then layer in live grades and signals for timing.

  

Current price: $0.2971.

How to read it: Each band blends cycle analogues and market-cap share math with TA guardrails. Base assumes steady adoption and neutral or positive macro. Moon layers in a liquidity boom. Bear assumes muted flows and tighter liquidity.


TM Agent baseline: Token Metrics TM Grade for $TRX is 19.06, which translates to a Strong Sell, and the trading signal is bearish, indicating short-term downward momentum.

Price context: $TRX is trading around $0.297, market cap rank #10, and is down about 11% over 30 days while up about 80% year-over-year, it has returned roughly 963% since the last trading signal flip.

24T MCap Scenario

  


32T MCap Scenario

  



What Is Driving These Ranges?

1) Adoption & Liquidity (macro)

Spot ETF flows, corporate/treasury allocations, and global liquidity are the swing factors that push BTC between the $100k–$250k baseline and the higher scenario bands.

If real rates fall and risk appetite rises, the system can support $16T–$24T crypto, putting BTC’s base case in the $364k–$530k zone.


2) Supply Dynamics (halvings)

Programmatic issuance cuts keep the scarcity story intact; historically, post-halving windows have supported asymmetric upside as demand shocks meet slower new supply.


3) Network/Dev Health (scores)

Fundamental Grade 89.53% with perfect Tokenomics and Exchange access supports liquidity and distribution.

Technology Grade 69.78% (Repo 79%, Collaboration 70%) signals a mature, continuously maintained codebase—even if raw dev “Activity” cycles with market phases.



Year-Ahead Technical Guardrails (context)

With price recently around $115k, the $8T path implies a medium-term corridor of $177k–$219k if crypto caps stall near cycle mid.

Reclaims above prior weekly supply zones (mid-$100ks to high-$100ks) would bias toward the $16T track ($301k–$427k).

A macro/liquidity slump that undercuts weekly supports could revisit the TM Agent downside zone ($20k–$40k), though that would require a deep and sustained risk-off.

Security: N/A

DeFi Scanner: 77%

  

Interpretation: Liquidity/access + pristine token mechanics keep BTC the market’s base collateral; tech metrics reflect a conservative, security-first core with steady maintenance rather than hype-driven burst commits.



Catalysts That Skew Bullish

ETF/retirement channel penetration broadens demand beyond crypto-native cohorts.
Treasury adoption (corporates, macro funds) increases “digital collateral” utility.
Macro easing / falling real yields can push total crypto mkt cap toward $16T–$24T.


Risks That Skew Bearish

Global tightening (higher real rates, QT) compresses risk premiums.
Regulatory shocks curtail flows or custody rails.
Vol/liquidity pockets amplify drawdowns; deep retests remain possible.



FAQs

Can BTC hit $200k–$250k?

Yes—those sit inside our $8T–$16T bands (base/mid), contingent on continued institutional adoption and constructive macro. Not guaranteed.

Could BTC reach $500k–$800k?

Those levels map to $24T–$32T total crypto scenarios (base → moon). They require a powerful liquidity cycle plus broader balance-sheet adoption.

What invalidates the bull case?

Sustained high real rates, policy tightening, or adverse regulation that throttles ETF/fiat rails—conditions aligned with the TM Agent $20k–$40k downside.

Protecting Your Crypto Investment: Security, Safety, and Risk Management with Token Metrics AI Indices

Token Metrics Team
20 min read

Cryptocurrency's digital nature creates unprecedented investment opportunities—24/7 global markets, instant transactions, and direct ownership without intermediaries.



But this same digital nature introduces unique security challenges absent from traditional investing.



You can't lose your stock certificates to hackers, but you absolutely can lose your cryptocurrency to theft, scams, or user error.



Industry estimates suggest billions of dollars in cryptocurrency are lost or stolen annually through hacks, phishing attacks, forgotten passwords, and fraudulent schemes.



For many prospective crypto investors, security concerns represent the primary barrier to entry.

"What if I get hacked?" "How do I keep my crypto safe?" "What happens if I lose my password?"



These aren't trivial concerns—they're legitimate questions demanding thoughtful answers before committing capital to digital assets.



Token Metrics AI Indices approach security holistically, addressing not just portfolio construction and performance but the entire ecosystem of risks facing crypto investors.



From selecting fundamentally secure cryptocurrencies to providing guidance on safe custody practices, Token Metrics prioritizes investor protection alongside return generation.



This comprehensive guide explores the complete landscape of crypto security risks, reveals best practices for protecting your investments, and demonstrates how Token Metrics' systematic approach enhances safety across multiple dimensions.



Understanding the Crypto Security Threat Landscape

Exchange Hacks and Platform Vulnerabilities
Cryptocurrency exchanges—platforms where users buy, sell, and store digital assets—represent prime targets for hackers given the enormous value they custody.



History is littered with devastating exchange hacks including Mt. Gox (2014): 850,000 Bitcoin stolen, worth $450 million then, billions today; Coincheck (2018): $530 million in NEM tokens stolen; QuadrigaCX (2019): $190 million lost when founder died with only access to cold wallets; and FTX (2022): Collapse resulting in billions in customer losses.



These incidents highlight fundamental custody risks. When you hold cryptocurrency on exchanges, you don't truly control it—the exchange does.



The industry saying captures this reality: "Not your keys, not your coins." Exchange bankruptcy, hacking, or fraud can result in total loss of funds held on platforms.



Token Metrics addresses exchange risk by never directly holding user funds—the platform provides investment guidance and analysis, but users maintain custody of their assets through personal wallets or trusted custodians they select.



This architecture eliminates single-point-of-failure risks inherent in centralized exchange custody.



Private Key Loss and User Error
Unlike traditional bank accounts where forgotten passwords can be reset, cryptocurrency relies on cryptographic private keys providing sole access to funds.



Lose your private key, and your cryptocurrency becomes permanently inaccessible—no customer service department can recover it.



Studies suggest 20% of all Bitcoin (worth hundreds of billions of dollars) is lost forever due to forgotten passwords, discarded hard drives, or deceased holders without key succession plans.



This user-error risk proves particularly acute for non-technical investors unfamiliar with proper key management.



Token Metrics provides educational resources on proper key management, wallet selection, and security best practices.



The platform emphasizes that regardless of how well indices perform, poor personal security practices can negate all investment success.



Phishing, Social Engineering, and Scams
Crypto scams exploit human psychology rather than technical vulnerabilities.



Common schemes include phishing emails impersonating legitimate platforms, fake customer support targeting victims through social media, romance scams building relationships before requesting crypto, pump-and-dump schemes artificially inflating token prices, and fake investment opportunities promising unrealistic returns.



These scams succeed because they manipulate emotions—fear, greed, trust. Even sophisticated investors occasionally fall victim to well-crafted social engineering.



Token Metrics protects users by vetting all cryptocurrencies included in indices, filtering out known scams and suspicious projects.



The platform's AI analyzes on-chain data, code quality, team credentials, and community sentiment, identifying red flags invisible to casual investors. This comprehensive due diligence provides first-line defense against fraudulent projects.



Smart Contract Vulnerabilities
Many cryptocurrencies operate on smart contract platforms where code executes automatically.



Bugs in smart contract code can be exploited, resulting in fund loss. Notable incidents include the DAO hack (2016): $50 million stolen through smart contract vulnerability; Parity wallet bug (2017): $280 million frozen permanently; and numerous DeFi protocol exploits draining millions from liquidity pools.



Token Metrics' analysis evaluates code quality and security audits for projects included in indices.



The AI monitors for smart contract risks, deprioritizing projects with poor code quality or unaudited contracts. This systematic evaluation reduces but doesn't eliminate smart contract risk—inherent to DeFi investing.



Regulatory and Compliance Risks
Cryptocurrency's evolving regulatory landscape creates risks including sudden regulatory restrictions limiting trading or access, tax compliance issues from unclear reporting requirements, securities law violations for certain tokens, and jurisdictional complications from crypto's borderless nature.



Token Metrics monitors regulatory developments globally, adjusting index compositions when regulatory risks emerge.



If specific tokens face heightened regulatory scrutiny, the AI can reduce or eliminate exposure, protecting investors from compliance-related losses.



Best Practices for Cryptocurrency Custody and Storage

Understanding Wallet Types
Cryptocurrency storage options exist along a security-convenience spectrum. Hot wallets (software wallets connected to internet) offer convenience for frequent trading but increased hacking vulnerability.



Cold wallets (hardware wallets or paper wallets offline) provide maximum security but reduced convenience for active trading. Custodial wallets (exchanges holding keys) offer simplicity but require trusting third parties.



For Token Metrics investors, recommended approach depends on portfolio size and trading frequency.



Smaller portfolios with frequent rebalancing might warrant hot wallet convenience. Larger portfolios benefit from cold wallet security, moving only amounts needed for rebalancing to hot wallets temporarily.



Hardware Wallet Security
Hardware wallets—physical devices storing private keys offline—represent the gold standard for cryptocurrency security. Popular options include Ledger, Trezor, and others providing "cold storage" immunity to online hacking.



Best practices for hardware wallets include:

• Purchasing directly from manufacturers
• Never buying used
• Verifying device authenticity through manufacturer verification
• Storing recovery seeds securely (physical copies in safe locations)
• Using strong PINs and never sharing device access



For substantial Token Metrics allocations, hardware wallets prove essential.



The modest cost ($50-200) pales compared to security benefits for portfolios exceeding several thousand dollars.



Multi-Signature Security
Multi-signature (multisig) wallets require multiple private keys to authorize transactions—for example, requiring 2-of-3 keys. This protects against single-point-of-failure risks: if one key is compromised, funds remain secure; if one key is lost, remaining keys still enable access.



Advanced Token Metrics investors with substantial holdings should explore multisig solutions through platforms like Gnosis Safe or Casa.



While more complex to set up, multisig dramatically enhances security for large portfolios.



Institutional Custody Solutions
For investors with six-figure+ crypto allocations, institutional custody services provide professional-grade security including:

• Regulated custodians holding cryptocurrency with insurance
• Cold storage with enterprise security protocols
• Compliance with financial industry standards



Services like Coinbase Custody, Fidelity Digital Assets, and others offer insured custody for qualified investors.



While expensive (typically basis points on assets), institutional custody eliminates personal security burdens for substantial holdings.



Operational Security: Protecting Against Attacks

Password Management and Two-Factor Authentication
Basic security hygiene proves critical for crypto safety.



Use unique, complex passwords for every exchange and platform—password managers like 1Password or Bitwarden facilitate this. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) using authenticator apps (Google Authenticator, Authy) rather than SMS which can be intercepted.



Never reuse passwords across platforms. A data breach exposing credentials from one service could compromise all accounts using identical passwords. Token Metrics recommends comprehensive password management as foundational security practice.



Recognizing and Avoiding Phishing
Phishing attacks impersonate legitimate services to steal credentials. Red flags include emails requesting immediate action or login, suspicious sender addresses with subtle misspellings, links to domains not matching official websites, and unsolicited contact from "customer support."



Always navigate directly to platforms by typing URLs rather than clicking email links. Verify sender authenticity before responding to any crypto-related communications. Token Metrics will never request passwords, private keys, or urgent fund transfers—any such requests are fraudulent.



Device Security and Network Safety
Maintain device security by:

• Keeping operating systems and software updated
• Running antivirus/anti-malware software
• Avoiding public WiFi for crypto transactions
• Considering dedicated devices for high-value crypto management



The computer or phone accessing crypto accounts represents potential vulnerability.



Compromised devices enable keyloggers capturing credentials or malware stealing keys. For substantial portfolios, dedicated devices used only for crypto management enhance security.



Cold Storage for Long-Term Holdings
For cryptocurrency not needed for active trading—long-term holdings in Token Metrics indices not requiring frequent rebalancing—cold storage provides maximum security.



Generate addresses on air-gapped computers, transfer funds to cold storage addresses, and store private keys/recovery seeds in physical safes or bank safety deposit boxes.



This approach trades convenience for security—appropriate for the majority of holdings requiring only occasional access.



Token Metrics Platform Security Features

No Custody Model
Token Metrics' fundamental security advantage is never taking custody of user funds. Unlike exchanges that become honeypots for hackers by concentrating billions in crypto, Token Metrics operates as an information and analytics platform. Users implement index strategies through their own chosen custody solutions.



This architecture eliminates platform hacking risk to user funds. Even if Token Metrics platform experienced data breach (which comprehensive security measures prevent), user cryptocurrency remains safe in personal or custodial wallets.



Data Security and Privacy
Token Metrics implements enterprise-grade security for user data including:

• Encrypted data transmission and storage
• Regular security audits and penetration testing
• Access controls limiting employee data access
• Compliance with data protection regulations



While Token Metrics doesn't hold crypto, protecting user data—account information, portfolio holdings, personal details—remains paramount.



The platform's security infrastructure meets standards expected of professional financial services.



API Security and Access Control
For users implementing Token Metrics strategies through API connections to exchanges, the platform supports secure API practices including:

• Read-only API keys when possible (avoiding withdrawal permissions)
• IP whitelisting restricting API access to specific addresses
• Regularly rotating API keys as security best practice



Never grant withdrawal permissions through API keys unless absolutely necessary.



Token Metrics strategies can be implemented through read-only keys providing portfolio data without risking unauthorized fund movement.



Continuous Monitoring and Threat Detection
Token Metrics employs active security monitoring including:

• Unusual activity detection flagging suspicious account access
• Threat intelligence monitoring for emerging crypto security risks
• Rapid incident response protocols should breaches occur



This proactive approach identifies and addresses security threats before they impact users, maintaining platform integrity and protecting user interests.



Managing Investment Risk Beyond Security

Diversification as Risk Management
Security isn't just about preventing theft—it's also about preventing portfolio devastation through poor investment decisions. Token Metrics' diversification inherently provides risk management by:

• Preventing over-concentration in any single cryptocurrency
• Spreading exposure across projects with different risk profiles
• Combining assets with low correlations reducing portfolio volatility



This diversification protects against the "secure wallet, worthless holdings" scenario where cryptocurrency is safely stored but becomes valueless due to project failure or market collapse.



Liquidity Risk Management
Liquidity—ability to buy or sell without significantly impacting price—represents important risk dimension. Token Metrics indices prioritize liquid cryptocurrencies with substantial trading volumes, multiple exchange listings, and deep order books.



This liquidity focus ensures you can implement index strategies efficiently and exit positions when necessary without severe slippage.



Illiquid tokens might offer higher theoretical returns but expose investors to inability to realize those returns when selling.



Regulatory Compliance and Tax Security
Following applicable laws and regulations protects against government enforcement actions, penalties, or asset seizures. Token Metrics provides transaction histories supporting tax compliance but users must maintain detailed records of all crypto activities including purchases, sales, rebalancing transactions, and transfers between wallets.



Consider working with crypto-specialized tax professionals ensuring full compliance with reporting requirements. The cost of professional tax assistance proves trivial compared to risks from non-compliance.



Emergency Preparedness and Succession Planning
Comprehensive security includes planning for emergencies including:

• Documenting wallet access instructions for trusted individuals
• Maintaining secure backup of recovery seeds and passwords
• Creating crypto asset inventory for estate planning
• Considering legal documents addressing cryptocurrency inheritance



Without proper planning, your cryptocurrency could become inaccessible to heirs upon death. Many families have lost access to substantial crypto holdings due to lack of succession planning.



Building Your Personal Security Framework

Assessing Your Security Needs
Security requirements scale with portfolio size and complexity.



For small portfolios under $5,000, reputable exchange custody with 2FA and strong passwords may suffice. For portfolios of $5,000-$50,000, hardware wallets become essential for majority of holdings.



For portfolios exceeding $50,000, multisig or institutional custody warrant serious consideration. For portfolios exceeding $500,000, professional security consultation and institutional custody become prudent.



Assess your specific situation honestly, implementing security measures appropriate for your holdings and technical capabilities.



Creating Security Checklists
Develop systematic security checklists covering:

• Regular security audits of wallet configurations
• Password rotation schedules
• 2FA verification across all platforms
• Recovery seed backup verification
• Device security updates



Regular checklist execution ensures security doesn't degrade over time as you become complacent. Set quarterly reminders for comprehensive security reviews.



Continuous Education
Crypto security threats evolve constantly. Stay informed through:

Token Metrics educational resources and platform updates
• Cryptocurrency security news and advisories
• Community forums discussing emerging threats
• Periodic security webinars and training



Knowledge proves the most powerful security tool. Understanding threat landscape enables proactive defense rather than reactive damage control.



Conclusion: Security Enables Confident Investing

Cryptocurrency's revolutionary potential means nothing if your investment is lost to theft, hacks, or user error.



Security isn't an afterthought—it's the foundation enabling confident long-term investing. Without proper security measures, even the most sophisticated investment strategies become meaningless.



Token Metrics AI Indices provide comprehensive security through multiple dimensions—selecting fundamentally secure cryptocurrencies, providing educational resources on custody best practices, implementing platform-level security protecting user data, and maintaining no-custody architecture eliminating single-point-of-failure risks.



But ultimately, security requires your active participation. Token Metrics provides tools, knowledge, and guidance, but you must implement proper custody solutions, maintain operational security hygiene, and stay vigilant against evolving threats.



The investors who build lasting crypto wealth aren't just those who select winning tokens—they're those who protect their investments with appropriate security measures. In cryptocurrency's digital landscape where irreversible transactions and pseudonymous attackers create unique challenges, security determines who ultimately enjoys their gains and who watches helplessly as value evaporates.



Invest intelligently with Token Metrics' AI-powered indices. Protect that investment with comprehensive security practices. This combination—sophisticated strategy plus robust security—positions you for long-term success in cryptocurrency's high-opportunity, high-risk environment.



Your crypto investments deserve professional-grade portfolio management and professional-grade security. Token Metrics delivers both.

What is the safest way to store cryptocurrency?

Hardware wallets offer the highest level of security for most users. For substantial balances, using multi-signature wallets or institutional custodians (for qualified investors) adds protection. Always keep backup recovery phrases in secure physical locations.



How do AI indices help with crypto security?

AI indices, such as those from Token Metrics, systematically vet projects for smart contract vulnerabilities, regulatory issues, code security, liquidity, and signs of fraudulent activity, thus reducing exposure to compromised or risky assets.



What should I do if I suspect a phishing attack?

Do not interact with the suspicious message. Instead, independently visit the platform’s website by typing the URL directly and contact official customer support if needed. Never provide passwords or private keys to unsolicited contacts.



How should I plan for inheritance or emergencies?

Document wallet access information and recovery instructions for trusted family or legal representatives. Maintain secure, physical records of all backup phrases, and consider legal estate planning that addresses your digital assets.

Is the Crypto Market Bullish or Bearish? Why 2025 Is the Year of Neutral Momentum

Token Metrics Team
3 min

The crypto market isn't clearly bullish or bearish in mid-2025 — it's neutral. This article explores why this 'in-between' momentum could signal a maturing market cycle, and what investors should watch for as signals normalize after a sharp $1T rebound in total market cap.

As we navigate through the midpoint of 2025, one question dominates trading desks and Telegram groups alike: Is the crypto market bullish or bearish? Surprisingly, the answer might be neither. Current indicators suggest that we are in a neutral zone — an ambiguous space where the market is no longer surging with euphoric gains but isn’t plunging into panic either.

From January through mid-May, the total crypto market cap has grown from $1 trillion to $2 trillion. This swift rebound signals recovery, but not full-blown optimism. Instead, many analysts — ourselves included — interpret this as a healthy correction and stabilization following intense early-year volatility.

This kind of environment often marks the early stages of a maturing cycle. Unlike the sharp swings we saw in previous bull and bear markets, 2025’s trend suggests more measured growth, driven by fundamentals rather than hype. In other words, the market might finally be learning from its past.

That doesn’t mean the space lacks activity. Sectors like DeFi lending and AI-related tokens continue to gain traction, with significant TVL inflows. Retail interest in meme coins also remains high in select regions. But overall, what we’re seeing is consolidation — not chaos.

In this neutral setting, strategy matters more than sentiment. It's no longer about jumping into trending narratives or panic-selling on dips. Instead, identifying projects with real use cases, sustainable economics, and strong communities has become the foundation of long-term success.

For traders and builders alike, the current landscape offers both challenges and opportunities. Risk-adjusted returns are key, and disciplined portfolio rebalancing could be one of the most underrated strategies right now.

As we continue monitoring market signals, we remain committed to surfacing actionable insights backed by real-time data, not just narratives. Whether the next breakout is weeks or months away, staying informed — and unemotional — may prove to be your best edge.

How Token Metrics Helps in a Neutral Market Environment:

In times of neutral momentum, making profitable crypto decisions becomes more complex — and that's where Token Metrics shines:

  1. Actionable AI Signals:
    Token Metrics scans thousands of tokens daily, using over 80 data points to identify bullish and bearish trends even when market sentiment is flat. This helps users cut through noise and act on real opportunities.
  2. Investor & Trader Grades:
    When hype fades, fundamentals matter. Our proprietary grades evaluate both short-term momentum and long-term viability, helping users discover tokens with staying power — not just temporary pumps.
  3. Smart Rebalancing Alerts:
    In a consolidating market, maintaining the right portfolio mix is crucial. Token Metrics' indices and alerts help users rebalance regularly to lock in gains and minimize downside risks.
  4. Sector-Based Insights:
    With DeFi, AI, and meme coins behaving differently, Token Metrics allows users to dive deep into sector-specific analytics — so you can position ahead of capital flows.
  5. Sentiment & Volume Monitoring:
    Our platform tracks shifts in on-chain activity, social sentiment, and volume trends to spot early signs of market reversals — especially useful when traditional signals stall.

In a market where being early beats being emotional, Token Metrics equips you with the clarity and tools to trade with confidence.

Bitcoin vs. Altcoin Season: Where the Market's Headed in 2025

Token Metrics Team
5 min

Introduction
In the ever-evolving world of crypto, understanding the cyclical relationship between Bitcoin and altcoins is crucial for successful trading. During Token Metrics’ latest market update, Ian Balina highlighted key indicators pointing to a shift in momentum — possibly signaling the return of an altcoin season.

What Is Altcoin Season?
Altcoin season is a period in the crypto market where altcoins outperform Bitcoin in terms of price gains. Historically, this shift occurs when Bitcoin stabilizes after a rally, giving room for capital rotation into smaller-cap tokens with higher risk/reward potential.

Bitcoin’s Dominance and the Signs of Rotation
As of May 2025, Bitcoin remains a market anchor, but its dominance is showing signs of plateauing. Ian pointed out that capital is beginning to flow into AI tokens, new infrastructure plays, and community-driven projects like Launchcoin — which has already returned 35x gains. These trends are classic precursors to altcoin season.

Top Performing Altcoins Identified by Token Metrics
Token Metrics’ bold signals have identified several high-performing altcoins, such as:

  • Launchcoin: 35x gain since the signal triggered.
  • AI Infrastructure Tokens: Benefiting from the broader AI narrative in crypto.
  • DeFi 2.0 Protocols: Getting renewed attention amid institutional interest.

Key Indicators to Watch

  1. Bitcoin Dominance Chart – A drop below 50% dominance often precedes altcoin rallies.
  2. Volume Trends – Increasing volume on altcoin pairs indicates rising interest.
  3. Token Metrics Grades – Look for altcoins with high Trader and Investor Grades — a dual signal of short- and long-term strength.

How to Prepare Your Portfolio
Traders should consider gradual rotation — locking in BTC gains and reallocating to top-rated altcoins. Using Token Metrics’ tools:

  • Monitor daily signal updates
  • Filter by Trader Grade > 80 and recent bold signals
  • Keep an eye on AI and DeFi narratives, as they dominate 2025’s momentum

Conclusion
Whether we’re entering a full-blown altcoin season or just a mini-cycle, the signals are clear: capital is rotating. Use data, not guesswork. With Token Metrics’ AI-powered tools, you can identify high-potential opportunities and stay ahead of the curve in both Bitcoin and altcoin markets.

Rise of AI Coins: How AI Narratives Are Fueling the Next Bull Run

Token Metrics Team
4 min

Introduction
AI is no longer just a tech buzzword — it’s a dominant force driving the next wave of crypto innovation. In 2025, artificial intelligence has found a new frontier: blockchain. From infrastructure protocols to AI-native tokens, the market is seeing a surge in interest, investment, and returns for coins tied to the AI narrative. Token Metrics is at the forefront, helping users identify these explosive opportunities.

Why AI Coins Are Surging
The intersection of AI and crypto isn’t random. Three forces are converging to power this narrative:

  1. Mainstream AI Adoption – With tools like ChatGPT and Claude going mainstream, interest in AI has exploded.
  2. Decentralized Intelligence – Blockchain offers a secure, transparent way to distribute AI models and datasets.
  3. Speculative Momentum – The hype around AI is creating high-risk, high-reward token launches with strong upside potential.

Token Metrics’ AI Token Detection Strategy
Token Metrics uses its proprietary AI to identify early momentum in the market. Here's how it helped surface the best-performing AI tokens:

  • Volume spikes and unusual trading patterns
  • Token grades showing >80 Trader Score
  • Bold signals based on narrative tracking
  • Cross-chain analysis for upcoming projects

Ian Balina noted during the recent webinar that several AI coins have already delivered outsized returns — and this is just the beginning.

Examples of AI Tokens to Watch

  • Launch Coin – While not an AI token itself, its virality shows how fast narratives spread.
  • AI Infrastructure Projects – Platforms building decentralized compute for training and deploying models.
  • AI DeFi Hybrids – Tokens merging machine learning with trading, risk management, or yield optimization.

How to Ride the AI Wave
Using the Token Metrics platform, here’s how to position your portfolio:

  • Use Bold Signals: Sort by AI narrative to find breakout projects.
  • Set Alerts: Monitor new signal generation across top AI narratives.
  • Filter by Grade: Combine high Trader Grade with AI tag for high-conviction trades.

What This Means for Investors
The AI narrative is not a flash in the pan. It represents a paradigm shift in both technology and finance. Tokens that combine utility, vision, and timing will thrive. As always, early entry is key — and that’s where Token Metrics’ daily insights give users the edge.

Conclusion
AI tokens are fueling the next crypto bull run — and the smartest investors are already positioned. With real-time signals, narrative filters, and AI-powered grading, Token Metrics is your map through the chaos. The next big opportunity may already be on the Market Page.

📈 Launch Coin’s Wild Ride: From 54 SOL to $4 Million

Token Metrics Team
4 min

The crypto world thrives on narratives, and few have captured attention in recent weeks like Launchcoin. Born from a blend of SocialFi innovation and meme-driven virality, Launchcoin has surged into the spotlight—offering both eye-popping returns and warnings of extreme volatility. Powered by Token Metrics’ AI insights, here’s a detailed look at where Launchcoin stands today.

🚀 AI Detected the Breakout Early

On April 20, 2025, Token Metrics’ proprietary AI model flipped bullish on Launchcoin. Since then, the token has rallied over 3x, proving the strength of the signal. Backed by machine learning models that track on-chain data, sentiment, and price action across multiple timeframes, the Trader Grade for Launchcoin is currently at a whopping 93.15%, designating it a Strong Buy in the short term.

However, after such an exponential surge, the platform’s analysts expect natural pullbacks as early buyers and whales begin to take profits. These corrections are healthy and expected in any meteoric price run—and should not be confused with a loss of fundamental strength.

🧠 Token Metrics Investor Grade: A Balanced Perspective

While short-term indicators are overwhelmingly bullish, the Investor Grade remains neutral, pointing to a more measured view on Launchcoin’s long-term potential. This signals that while there’s momentum, there are still structural risks—particularly due to its meme coin characteristics and reliance on hype cycles.

Still, a neutral long-term grade isn’t bearish. It suggests Launchcoin is currently stable at its elevated valuation, but investors should monitor developments carefully—especially as new features and ecosystem growth unfold.

📈 Launchcoin’s Wild Ride: From 54 SOL to $4 Million

The Launchcoin story has already minted millionaires. One trader reportedly turned an $8,191 investment (54 SOL) into $4 million after purchasing 14.62 million LAUNCHCOIN tokens when the market cap was below $500,000. This kind of exponential return is rare—even in crypto—and helped drive speculative interest across social media and trading forums.

Within just 22 days, Launchcoin’s market cap crossed $300 million, illustrating how quickly meme-based projects can capture market momentum, especially when they ride the wave of a compelling narrative.

🔄 Listings and Market Access

Launchcoin’s liquidity and accessibility have improved significantly. The token is now trading on major centralized exchanges:

  • Spot listings: Bitget, KuCoin, Gate.io, and MEXC
  • Futures: Recently launched on ByBit

These listings have broadened exposure, attracting a wider investor base and allowing leveraged traders to participate. Increased liquidity also reduces slippage, enabling larger capital inflows while minimizing execution risk.

🎭 From PASTERNAK to LAUNCHCOIN: The Rebranding

Initially launched as PASTERNAK, named after Believe’s founder Ben Pasternak, the project was rebranded to Launchcoin on May 2, 2025. The new name better reflects its core value proposition: empowering creators to launch tokens through a SocialFi model.

The model is simple but revolutionary—anyone can create a token by posting on social media with the “@launchcoin” tag. This lowers the barrier for entry into token creation and adds viral potential to every social interaction.

🧨 Risk and Volatility: A Speculative Bet

Despite its recent success, Launchcoin remains a highly speculative asset. Its meteoric rise is reminiscent of meme coin cycles seen with tokens like PEPE or DOGE. While Launchcoin offers a unique utility layer with its token-creation feature, its current valuation includes a significant hype premium.

Token Metrics encourages traders to stay nimble. With the AI trading signals, users can track grade changes in real-time, ensuring they’re not caught off guard by sharp reversals or cooldowns.

🧠 Final Thoughts

Launchcoin represents a blend of viral marketing, social token innovation, and AI-predicted trading opportunity. With strong short-term momentum, neutral long-term positioning, and significant ecosystem buzz, it’s a token to watch—but not without caution.

Whether you’re a trader riding the momentum or an investor assessing long-term viability, Token Metrics provides the data-driven edge to navigate Launchcoin’s volatility with confidence.

Token Metrics Team

In a market full of noise, value investors are asking one critical question: what should I hold long-term?

Here are some of our top picks, based on fundamentals, traction, and longevity.

1. Grass – AI + Revenue

Grass stands out in the AI space. With over $15M in revenue from its browser extension and data resale model, it’s one of the few protocols generating real-world value. It’s a top AI blue chip we’re confident holding over multiple cycles.

2. Peaq – DePIN Infrastructure

Peaq positions itself as the Chainlink of decentralized physical infrastructure. While still under $1B FDV, it’s been consistent in development and narrative strength.

3. Sui – Consumer-Focused L1

Sui isn’t just another L1. Between Phantom wallet support, SuiPlay hardware, and growing dApp adoption, Sui has the elements to outpace older chains like Solana or Avalanche in user growth.

4. Parcl – Real Estate Derivatives

For exposure to real-world assets, Parcl offers a compelling play. Their UI is retail-friendly, listings are strong, and the market cap remains under $150M. This is one to watch as RWA adoption grows.

5. BitTensor – AI Infrastructure Layer

With a unique emission model and growing subnet usage, BitTensor remains the top AI infra token. Some even compare its long-term potential to early Bitcoin.

Bonus Mentions:

  • Uniswap / Aave / Compound – battle-tested DeFi with upcoming fee-sharing upgrades

  • Chainlink – oracle king still dominating infrastructure

  • Hyperliquid – sustainable revenue, EVM chain, and perps dominance

Final Words

The 2025 bull market will create noise—but also opportunity. These tokens aren’t just trendy—they’re infrastructure plays with real utility and upside. Allocate accordingly.

SUI Price Analysis: Short-Term Momentum Builds Amid Long-Term Uncertainty

Token Metrics Team
4 min

SUI, a rising Layer 1 blockchain network, has been gaining traction recently—and Token Metrics' AI-powered tools were ahead of the curve in identifying its bullish momentum. On April 24th, the Token Metrics Trader Grade issued a bullish signal for SUI, and since then, the price has climbed nearly 22%, confirming the strength of the short-term trend.

But there’s more to this move than just price action. Token Metrics offers a unique perspective by analyzing both short-term and long-term signals through its proprietary Trader Grade and Investor Grade ratings. These grades offer a layered view of an asset's potential by using machine learning to evaluate over 80 on-chain, off-chain, and technical indicators.

Token Metrics AI: Bullish for Traders, Bearish for Investors

As of the latest data, SUI holds a “Strong Buy” rating on the Token Metrics Trader Grade, signaling powerful momentum for short-term traders. This suggests that swing traders and scalpers could benefit from the current trend, particularly if the price can decisively break through the immediate resistance at $4.25.

However, the Investor Grade tells a different story. While the short-term outlook is bullish, the long-term view remains cautious. The Investor Grade currently recommends a Sell, suggesting SUI may face challenges in sustaining gains over a multi-month time frame. This divergence highlights the importance of aligning your investment strategy with the appropriate time horizon.

TVL Growth Validates SUI’s Ecosystem Expansion

Beyond AI ratings, Token Metrics also factors in fundamental metrics—and one of the strongest tailwinds for SUI right now is its rapidly growing Total Value Locked (TVL). According to DeFi Llama, SUI’s TVL has surged to a new all-time high of $2.11 billion, cementing its position as the 8th largest blockchain by TVL.

This growth in TVL indicates that more capital is being deployed in the SUI ecosystem. It reflects increased user engagement with decentralized applications (dApps) on the network and signals rising confidence among DeFi participants. From a fundamental standpoint, this bodes well for SUI’s long-term utility—even if its price action hasn't yet caught up to the full extent of this growth.

Key Technical Levels: Breakout or Pullback?

From a technical analysis standpoint, SUI is now testing a major resistance at $4.25. A confirmed breakout above this level could send the asset surging toward new all-time highs, potentially igniting a new wave of momentum-driven buying.

However, if the price fails to breach this resistance zone, a pullback is likely. In that scenario, the $3.00 to $3.20 range should act as a solid support area. These levels will be critical for traders to monitor, and Token Metrics' real-time alerts can help users stay on top of such breakouts or reversals.

Trading Smarter with Token Metrics

Whether you're trading short-term breakouts or evaluating long-term positions, Token Metrics helps crypto investors make data-driven decisions. The platform’s dual-grade system—Trader Grade for momentum-based insights and Investor Grade for long-term trends—equips users with nuanced information to act with confidence.

Moreover, Token Metrics integrates this data directly into its AI Trading Agent and custom alerts system, ensuring you never miss an opportunity or warning signal. With instant access to heatmaps, technical breakdowns, and AI-based predictions, SUI traders can manage risk more efficiently and capitalize on emerging trends before the rest of the market catches on.

Final Thoughts

SUI is showing promising signs, especially with its network fundamentals improving rapidly and short-term momentum turning bullish. Still, the cautious long-term outlook suggests that traders should proceed with a balanced approach—watching both breakout levels and support zones, while leveraging tools like Token Metrics for real-time decision-making support.

As always, combining AI-driven insights with strong risk management is the key to navigating volatile markets like crypto. SUI is one to watch—and Token Metrics helps you stay one step ahead.
