How to Use x402 with Token Metrics: Composer Walkthrough + Copy-Paste Axios/HTTPX Clients

Token Metrics Team
9 min read

What You Will Learn — Two-Paragraph Opener

This tutorial shows you how to use x402 with Token Metrics in two ways. First, we will walk through x402 Composer, where you can run Token Metrics agents, ask questions, and see pay-per-request tool calls stream into a live Feed with zero code. Second, we will give you copy-paste Axios and HTTPX clients that handle the full x402 flow (402 challenge, wallet payment, automatic retry) so you can integrate Token Metrics into your own apps.

Whether you are exploring x402 for the first time or building production agent workflows, this guide has you covered. By the end, you will understand how x402 payments work under the hood and have working code you can ship today. Let's start with the no-code option in Composer.

Start using Token Metrics X402 integration here. https://www.x402scan.com/server/244415a1-d172-4867-ac30-6af563fd4d25 

Part 1: Try x402 + Token Metrics in Composer (No Code Required)

x402 Composer is a playground for AI agents that pay per tool call. You can test Token Metrics endpoints, see live payment settlements, and understand the x402 flow before writing any code.

What Is Composer?

Composer is x402scan's hosted environment for building and using AI agents that pay for external resources via x402. It provides a chat interface, an agent directory, and a real-time Feed showing every tool call and payment across the ecosystem. Token Metrics endpoints are available as tools that agents can call on demand.

Explore Composer: https://x402scan.com/composer

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Follow these steps to run a Token Metrics query and watch the payment happen in real time.

  1. Open the Composer agents directory: Go to https://x402scan.com/composer/agents and browse available agents. Look for agents tagged with "Token Metrics" or "crypto analytics." Or check our our integration here. https://www.x402scan.com/server/244415a1-d172-4867-ac30-6af563fd4d25 
  2. Select an agent: Click into an agent that uses Token Metrics endpoints (for example, a trading signals agent or market intelligence agent). You will see the agent's description, configured tools, and recent activity.
  3. Click "Use Agent": This opens a chat interface where you can run prompts against the agent's configured tools.
  4. Run a query: Type a question that requires calling a Token Metrics endpoint, for example "Give me the latest TM Grade for Ethereum" or "What are the top 5 moonshot tokens right now?" and hit send.
  5. Watch the Feed: As the agent processes your request, it will call the relevant Token Metrics endpoint. Open the Composer Feed (https://x402scan.com/composer/feed) in a new tab to see the tool call appear in real time with payment details (USDC or TMAI amount, timestamp, status).

 

Composer agents directory: Composer Agents page: Each agent shows tool stack, messages, and recent activity.

 

Individual agent page: Agent detail page: View tools, description, and click "Use Agent" to start.

[INSERT SCREENSHOT: Chat interface]

Chat interface: Chat UI: Ask a question like "What are the top trading signals for BTC today?"

[INSERT SCREENSHOT: Composer Feed]

Composer Feed: Live Feed: Each tool call shows the endpoint, payment token, amount, and settlement status.

That is the x402 flow in action. The agent's wallet paid for the API call automatically, the server verified payment, and the data came back. No API keys, no monthly bills, just pay-per-use access.

Key Observations from Composer

  • Tool calls show the exact endpoint called (like /v2/tm-grade or /v2/moonshot-tokens)
  • Payments display in USDC or TMAI with the per-call cost
  • The Feed updates in real time, you can see other agents making calls across the ecosystem
  • You can trace each call back to the agent and message that triggered it
  • This is how agentic commerce works: agents autonomously pay for resources as needed

Part 2: Build Your Own x402 Client (Axios + HTTPX)

Now that you have seen x402 in action, let's build your own client that can call Token Metrics endpoints with automatic payment handling.

How x402 Works (Quick Refresher)

When you make a request with the x-coinbase-402 header, the Token Metrics API returns a 402 Payment Required response with payment instructions (recipient address, amount, chain). Your x402 client reads this challenge, signs a payment transaction with your wallet, submits it to the blockchain, and then retries the original request with proof of payment. The server verifies the settlement and returns the data. The x402-axios and x402 Python libraries handle this flow automatically.

Prerequisites

  • A wallet with a private key (use a testnet wallet for development on Base Sepolia, or a mainnet wallet for production on Base)
  • USDC or TMAI in your wallet (testnet USDC for testing, mainnet tokens for production)
  • Node.js 18+ and npm (for Axios example) or Python 3.9+ (for HTTPX example)
  • Basic familiarity with async/await patterns

Recommended Token Metrics Endpoints for x402

These endpoints are commonly used by agents and developers building on x402. All are pay-per-call with transparent pricing.

Full endpoint list and docs: https://developers.tokenmetrics.com 

Common Errors and How to Fix Them

Here are the most common issues developers encounter with x402 and their solutions.

Error: Payment Failed (402 Still Returned After Retry)

This usually means your wallet does not have enough USDC or TMAI to cover the call, or the payment transaction failed on-chain.

  • Check your wallet balance on Base (use a block explorer or your wallet app)
  • Make sure you are on the correct network (Base mainnet for production, Base Sepolia for testnet)
  • Verify your private key has permission to spend the token (no allowance issues for most x402 flows, but check if using a smart contract wallet)
  • Try a smaller request or switch to a cheaper endpoint to test

Error: Network Timeout

x402 requests take longer than standard API calls because they include a payment transaction. If you see timeouts, increase your client timeout.

  • Set timeout to at least 30 seconds (30000ms in Axios, 30.0 in HTTPX)
  • Check your RPC endpoint is responsive (viem/eth-account uses public RPCs by default, which can be slow)
  • Consider using a dedicated RPC provider (Alchemy, Infura, QuickNode) for faster settlement

Error: 429 Rate Limit Exceeded

Even with pay-per-call, Token Metrics enforces rate limits to prevent abuse. If you hit a 429, back off and retry.

  • Implement exponential backoff (wait 1s, 2s, 4s, etc. between retries)
  • Spread requests over time instead of bursting
  • For high-volume use cases, contact Token Metrics to discuss rate limit increases

Error: Invalid Header or Missing x-coinbase-402

If you forget the x-coinbase-402: true header, the server will treat your request as a standard API call and may return a 401 Unauthorized if no API key is present.

  • Always include x-coinbase-402: true in headers for x402 requests
  • Do not send x-api-key when using x402 (the header is mutually exclusive)
  • Double-check header spelling (it is x-coinbase-402, not x-402 or x-coinbase-payment)

Production Tips

  • Use environment variables for private keys, never hardcode them
  • Set reasonable max_payment limits to avoid overspending (especially with TMAI)
  • Log payment transactions for accounting and debugging
  • Monitor your wallet balance and set up alerts for low funds
  • Test thoroughly on Base Sepolia testnet before going to mainnet
  • Use TMAI for production to get the 10% discount on every call
  • Cache responses when possible to reduce redundant paid calls
  • Implement retry logic with exponential backoff for transient errors

Why This Matters for Agents

Traditional APIs force agents to carry API keys, which creates security risks and requires human intervention for key rotation and billing. With x402, agents can pay for themselves using wallet funds, making them truly autonomous. This unlocks agentic commerce where AI systems compose services on the fly, paying only for what they need without upfront subscriptions or complex auth flows.

For Token Metrics specifically, x402 means agents can pull real-time crypto intelligence (signals, grades, predictions, research) as part of their decision loops. They can chain our endpoints with other x402-enabled tools like Heurist Mesh (on-chain data), Tavily (web search), and Firecrawl (content extraction) to build sophisticated, multi-source analysis workflows. It is HTTP-native payments meeting real-world agent use cases.

FAQs

Can I use the same wallet for multiple agents?

Yes. Each agent (or client instance) can use the same wallet, but be aware of nonce management if making concurrent requests. The x402 libraries handle this automatically.

Do I need to approve token spending before using x402?

No. The x402 payment flow uses direct transfers, not approvals. Your wallet just needs sufficient balance.

Can I see my payment history?

Yes. Check x402scan (https://x402scan.com/composer/feed) for a live feed of all x402 transactions, or view your wallet's transaction history on a Base block explorer.

What if I want to use a different payment token?

Currently x402 with Token Metrics supports USDC and TMAI on Base. To request support for additional tokens, contact Token Metrics.

How do I switch from testnet to mainnet?

Change your viem chain from baseSepolia to base (in Node.js) or update your RPC URL (in Python). Make sure your wallet has mainnet USDC or TMAI.

Can I use x402 in browser-based apps?

Yes, but you will need a browser wallet extension (like MetaMask or Coinbase Wallet) and a frontend-compatible x402 library. The current x402-axios and x402-python libraries are designed for server-side or Node.js environments.

Why x402 Changes the Game

Traditional API access requires upfront subscriptions, fixed rate limits, and key management overhead. x402 flips that model by letting you pay per call with a crypto wallet, with no API keys or monthly commitments. This is especially powerful for AI agents, which need flexible, on-demand access to external data without human intervention.

For Token Metrics, x402 unlocks agentic commerce where agents can autonomously pull crypto intelligence, pay only for what they use, and compose our endpoints with other x402-enabled tools like Heurist Mesh, Tavily, and Firecrawl. It is HTTP-native payments meeting real-world agent workflows.

What is x402?

x402 is an open-source HTTP-native payment protocol developed by Coinbase. It uses the HTTP 402 status code (Payment Required) to enable pay-per-request access to APIs and services. When you make a request with the x-coinbase-402 header, the server returns a payment challenge, your wallet signs and submits payment, and the server fulfills the request once settlement is verified.

The protocol runs on Base and Solana, with USDC and TMAI as the primary payment tokens. x402 is designed for composability, agents can chain multiple paid calls across different providers in a single workflow, paying each service directly without intermediaries. Learn more at the x402 Quickstart for Buyers: https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/x402/docs/quickstart-buyers

FAQs

Do I need an API key to use x402 with Token Metrics?

No. When you set x-coinbase-402: true, your wallet signature replaces API key authentication. Do not send x-api-key in your requests.

Can I use x402 with a free trial or test wallet?

Yes, but you will need testnet USDC or TMAI on Base Sepolia (testnet) for development. Production calls require mainnet tokens.

How do I see my payment history?

Check x402scan for transaction logs and tool call history. Your wallet will also show outgoing USDC/TMAI transactions. Visit https://www.x402scan.com.

What happens if my wallet balance is too low?

The x402 client will return a payment failure before making the API call. Top up your wallet and retry.

Can I use x402 in production apps?

Yes. x402 is live on Base mainnet. Set appropriate spend limits and handle payment errors gracefully in your code.

What Is Uniswap?

Uniswap is a decentralized exchange protocol built on Ethereum that enables token swaps using automated market makers instead of order books. It aims to provide open access to liquidity for traders, developers, and applications through transparent smart contracts.

UNI is the governance token that lets holders vote on protocol upgrades and parameters, aligning incentives across the ecosystem. The protocol is a market leader in decentralized exchange activity with broad integration across wallets and DeFi apps.

Token Metrics AI Analysis for Price Prediction

Token Metrics AI provides comprehensive context on Uniswap's positioning and challenges that inform our price prediction models.

Vision: Uniswap aims to create a fully decentralized and permissionless financial market where anyone can trade or provide liquidity without relying on centralized intermediaries. Its vision emphasizes open access, censorship resistance, and community driven governance.

Problem: Traditional exchanges require trusted intermediaries to match buyers and sellers, creating barriers to access, custody risks, and potential for censorship. In DeFi, the lack of efficient, trustless mechanisms for token swaps limits interoperability and liquidity across applications.

Solution: Uniswap solves this by using smart contracts to create liquidity pools funded by users who earn trading fees in return. The protocol automatically prices assets using a constant product formula, enabling seamless swaps. UNI token holders can participate in governance, influencing parameters like fee structures and protocol upgrades.

Market Analysis: Uniswap operates within the broader DeFi and Ethereum ecosystems, competing with other decentralized exchanges like SushiSwap, Curve, and Balancer. It is a market leader in terms of cumulative trading volume and liquidity depth. Adoption is strengthened by strong developer activity, widespread integration across wallets and dApps, and a large user base.

How to Find the Next 10x Crypto Token with Token Metrics

Token Metrics Team
4 min

Every crypto investor dreams of discovering that one hidden gem — the token that goes from unknown to unstoppable, delivering 10x or even 50x returns. But with over 25,000 cryptocurrencies on the market in 2025, the big question remains: how do you actually find the one that will moon before the crowd catches on?

That’s where Token Metrics steps in.

By combining AI-powered crypto signals, narrative filters, advanced grading systems, and deep-dive analytics, Token Metrics makes it easier than ever to identify high-potential projects early — and trade them with confidence.

Whether you’re a retail trader looking for your first big win, or a seasoned investor building a crypto portfolio, Token Metrics gives you the tools to make smarter, faster, and more profitable decisions.

The 10x Formula: What Really Drives Explosive Growth in Crypto?

Not every token is destined for greatness. But nearly every 10x token follows a pattern before it takes off. At Token Metrics, we’ve studied thousands of chart patterns, price trends, and fundamental indicators to isolate the key ingredients most 10x tokens share before they explode:

🔥 1. Bold Signal Trigger

These are early-stage AI signals generated when a token begins to show strong upside potential. Token Metrics’ AI tracks market data, price momentum, sentiment, and technical indicators to identify early breakout signals.

📈 2. High Trader & Investor Grades

  • Trader Grade reflects short-term price action, momentum, and volume.
  • Investor Grade scores long-term potential based on liquidity, backers, tokenomics, community traction, and fundamentals.

When both grades are high — especially above 80 or 90 — it’s often a green light.

🌐 3. Trending Narrative

Every bull run has its dominant themes: DeFi in 2020, NFTs in 2021, AI and Modular Chains in 2025. A token aligned with a current hot narrative is more likely to gain attention and capital inflow.

📊 4. Community Growth

Real traction shows up through social media engagement, Discord activity, Telegram volume, GitHub commits, and on-chain user growth. Token Metrics integrates this into its AI analysis to measure rising network effect.

Token Metrics in Action: The Launch Coin Case Study

To see this in action, let’s look at Launchcoin, one of the most explosive tokens of early 2025. Launchcoin allowed anyone to tokenize ideas through social media replies — making it the centerpiece of the creator token narrative.

It went from stealth mode to stardom in days, ultimately delivering a 35x return for users who caught it early. How?

  • ✅ It appeared on the Token Metrics Market Page with a bold signal.
  • Trader Grade > 90 indicated massive price momentum.
  • ✅ The token was embedded in the hot social token narrative.
  • ✅ Community activity on X (formerly Twitter) and Discord spiked rapidly.

Users who followed the early bold signal and confirmed it with high grades had the data needed to act decisively — and ride the wave before it crested.

Token Metrics Tools That Help You Spot the Next 10x

Token Metrics isn’t just a signal service — it’s a full-suite crypto analytics platform designed to help traders and investors discover, analyze, and act on opportunities before the crowd.

Here are the core tools that help you catch winners early:

  • Narrative rotations

This ensures you never miss a move — even if you’re not logged in 24/7.

Tips for Finding the Next 10x Crypto Token

Using Token Metrics gives you an edge, but timing and execution still matter. Here are key strategies:

Act Fast on Bold Signals

Early bold signals are where most 10x gains start. Check the Market Page daily and move quickly when grades align.

Use Grade Confirmation

Don’t just chase price action. Look for both Trader and Investor Grades above 80 — ideally above 90 for the biggest potential moves.

Monitor Narrative Cycles

Tokens in trending narratives often rise faster. Track narrative heatmaps on Token Metrics to stay aligned with the market zeitgeist.

Revisit Signals Daily

Momentum can shift fast. A token might go from a bold signal to a breakout in 24–48 hours. Stay on top of daily updates.

Diversify Across Narratives

Don’t go all-in on one theme. Spread bets across AI, DeFi, Memes, and Infrastructure to capture multiple emerging waves.

How Token Metrics Spotted HYPE Before the Breakout — And Why It Matters for Every Crypto Trader

Token Metrics Team
4 min

The crypto market has been a rollercoaster lately.

Bitcoin is dipping. Altcoins are bleeding. Sentiment across the board is skittish. Fear is gripping retail traders — and in times like these, many are unsure where to turn, what to buy, or when to hold back.

But not everyone’s losing.

Some traders are still finding wins. One example? Hyperliquid (HYPE) — a standout performer in April 2025. And here’s the kicker: Token Metrics called the move before it happened.

While most traders were distracted by meme coins or frozen in fear, Token Metrics users were riding a +51.8% breakout, armed with AI-driven insights and data-backed confidence. This blog breaks down what happened, how Token Metrics spotted the trade before the crowd, and what tools you can use today to find the next HYPE-level breakout before it happens.

The Hyperliquid Surge: What Happened?

On April 14, while much of Crypto Twitter was silent on HYPE, Token Metrics issued a bullish signal on the token. The platform’s AI-powered Trader Grade identified a strong setup forming — based on technical indicators, rising volume, and early momentum shifts.

That signal marked the beginning of a +51.8% price surge, which saw HYPE peak at $38.50 before a broad market correction pulled it back to ~$32.40.

Even with the correction, traders who acted on the early signal locked in solid profits, exited smart, or are now watching for the next move with eyes wide open — guided by grades, not guesswork.

Why Token Metrics Got It Right — When Others Missed It

While most platforms react to price action after it happens, Token Metrics is built to anticipate movement before it’s obvious. Here’s how:

Technical Momentum Detection

The Trader Grade analyzes short-term price action, RSI trends, MACD crossovers, breakout patterns, and dozens of other technical indicators. HYPE’s chart showed tightening consolidation and rising buy volume — and TM’s systems flagged it in real time.

Volume Spike Recognition

One of the earliest clues in any breakout is an uptick in volume. Token Metrics identifies surging liquidity that precedes breakouts — something that traditional screeners miss or catch late.

Narrative Tracking

Hyperliquid was part of a subtle but growing "on-chain perpetuals" narrative — a theme most traders weren’t tracking yet. TM’s AI-powered narrative filters helped surface HYPE as an early player in a trending category.

Signal Strength Confidence

Token Metrics doesn’t just throw out signals randomly. The platform assigns confidence scores based on data quality, historical performance, and AI pattern recognition. HYPE didn’t just look good — it looked statistically strong.

Current Situation: Pullback or Setup?

After topping at $38.50, HYPE retraced — now sitting about 15.8% below its high. Some might see weakness. But Token Metrics helps traders read beyond the price:

  • 📈 Trader Grade still says “Buy” — meaning short-to-mid-term bullish momentum is intact.
  • 🟡 Investor Grade is Neutral — a smart, cautious stance until more long-term data emerges.
  • 🔍 Key Level: $32 — this is the zone bulls need to defend to keep the trend alive.

This context is what makes Token Metrics invaluable. While the crowd panics, TM users stay informed, balanced, and ready.

Token Metrics in Action: Trading with Data, Not Emotion

Let’s zoom out. Why does this matter for your trading journey?

Most traders operate on emotion, social media chatter, or FOMO. Token Metrics flips that model on its head — giving you a complete data-driven crypto trading toolkit:

🧠 AI-Powered Trader Grades

These grades score tokens on a 0–100 scale based on short-term technical momentum. A Trader Grade above 80 often precedes a strong move — as seen with HYPE.

📊 Investor Grades for Long-Term Confidence

Built from 80+ on-chain and off-chain data points — including liquidity, tokenomics, VC backers, exchange listings, community engagement, and developer activity.

📈 Real-Time Market Signals

Get alerted when a new bullish or bearish signal is triggered. These alerts are based on pattern recognition, performance history, and current price action.

🌐 Narrative Filters

Narratives drive price — from DeFi Summer to AI Agent tokens. TM helps you stay on top of evolving themes and find the tokens leading those trends early.

🔔 Alerts & Watchlists

Set custom alerts for grade movements, bold signals, or top gainer movements — so you never miss a trade even when you’re not glued to the screen.

Key Trading Benefits of Using Token Metrics

Let’s break it down: Why use Token Metrics instead of trading blindly?

1. Spot Breakouts Early

Tools like the Market Page and Top Gainers tab help you spot tokens heating up — before they explode. You won’t be the one buying at the top anymore.

2. Avoid FOMO and Bad Buys

TM’s objective grades help filter out low-quality tokens. You can avoid chasing scams or hype-based pumps with no foundation.

3. Simplify Your Research

Instead of spending hours flipping through charts and Twitter threads, Token Metrics gives you instant, high-signal data — all in one place.

4. Trade With Confidence

Whether you’re swing trading or building a long-term bag, the Trader and Investor Grades help validate (or invalidate) your bias.

5. Stay Ahead of Market Rotations

The crypto market rotates fast. Token Metrics surfaces where capital is flowing — and which narratives are gaining strength — so you can rotate with it.

What to Do Next: Trade the Signal, Not the Crowd

Looking ahead, HYPE’s next move depends on what happens at the $32 support zone:

  • ✅ If it holds: there’s room for upside continuation. The Trader Grade supports it.
  • ❌ If it breaks: eyes shift to $25 — a critical support where new buyers may step in.

Either way, Token Metrics users won’t be guessing. They’ll wait for the next signal — bullish or bearish — and make calculated moves based on real data.

This is the difference between reactive trading and strategic trading.

Final Takeaway: Token Metrics Helps You Trade Smarter, Not Harder

The HYPE breakout wasn’t luck. It was the result of acting on strong, data-backed signals before the crowd caught on.

If you’re tired of chasing pumps, panicking in drawdowns, or wondering why others always seem to find winners early, then it's time to level up.

With Token Metrics, you can:

  • 🔍 Spot early movers like HYPE
  • 📊 Trade with AI-powered confidence
  • 📈 Get in before the trend — and exit before the crash
  • 🧠 Make every trade a calculated decision

Solana Price Action: Will the Bulls Regain Control? Token Metrics Signals Offer Clues

Token Metrics Team
4 min

Solana has been one of the most closely watched altcoins in the 2025 crypto cycle. With its blazing speed, developer activity, and expanding DePIN ecosystem, Solana has remained on every smart investor’s radar. But with the broader market pulling back sharply — and Bitcoin dipping below $105K — traders are asking: Is Solana still a buy?

Token Metrics' AI-powered tools offer critical insights into this volatile moment.

April's Bullish Signal Paid Off
Token Metrics’ proprietary indicator turned bullish on Solana on April 19, when the price was just $138.18. That signal wasn’t just noise. Within a month, Solana surged by 33.1%, reaching $184 by May 23.

This kind of real-time, data-driven signal is exactly why traders are turning to Token Metrics. Rather than guessing or chasing hype, our platform delivers objective, AI-backed alerts that help traders enter early and exit intelligently.

The Pullback: Market-Wide, Not Solana-Specific
Fast forward to today, and the story has changed. Solana is undergoing a major pullback, largely driven by the overall market correction. Bitcoin’s slide below $105K has dragged most altcoins down, Solana included.

However, Token Metrics' Trader Grade for Solana is now 'Neutral' — not bearish. That’s a crucial distinction. While momentum has cooled, our system is not yet signaling a full reversal. That means there’s still room for recovery.

Technical Outlook: The $160 Level is Critical
Technical analysis highlights a key battleground at $160. If bulls can reclaim this level in the near term, the uptrend could resume. Failure to hold above it, however, could open the door for deeper losses.

Token Metrics users can monitor these levels in real-time with our dynamic charts, trend indicators, and updated market signals.

What Traders Should Watch Next

  • Market Signal Shift: If the Token Metrics market signal flips to bearish, it’s a red flag. Until then, volatility may still offer upside.
  • $160 Breakout: This is the technical threshold bulls must defend.
  • Volume and Sentiment: A spike in volume or positive narrative news could signal a reversal.

Conclusion
Solana remains a high-potential asset — but trading it without real-time analytics in this environment is risky. Token Metrics doesn’t just tell you what’s happening; it shows why it’s happening and what to do next.

Join Token Metrics today to access AI-powered trading signals, risk analysis, and the tools to trade crypto like a pro — even in uncertain markets.

Bearish Signals Ahead? How to Spot Early Warnings Before a Crash

Token Metrics Team
4 min

In crypto, everything can change overnight. One minute the market’s bullish — the next, it’s bleeding red. That’s why the ability to spot bearish signals early is crucial for protecting capital and maximizing long-term gains. Token Metrics gives traders an edge with AI-driven alerts that help you act before the crash hits.

Why Most Traders Miss the Top
Retail traders often get caught in the hype. By the time “everyone” is talking about a token, it’s usually too late. The smartest investors are watching subtle changes in data: volume drops, negative sentiment, weakening momentum.

Token Metrics makes those patterns visible before price crashes.

What Is a Bearish Signal on Token Metrics?
A bearish signal is a warning based on:

  • Declining Trader Grade (below 30)
  • Negative ROI since signal
  • Volume drying up while price holds
  • Bearish crossover in trend indicators
  • Weakening fundamentals or fading narratives

These signals are automatically triggered and displayed on the Market Page.

How to Identify Bearish Tokens Early

  1. Sort by Negative ROI – See which tokens have declined most after a bold signal.
  2. Filter by Trader Grade < 30 – These are tokens losing short-term momentum.
  3. Look for Divergence – If price is flat but volume or sentiment drops, the setup may be turning bearish.

Behavioral Clues You Shouldn’t Ignore

  • Signal stops updating – Token Metrics halts signals when confidence fades.
  • Narrative dies down – No more tweets, community quiets down? Trouble ahead.
  • Trending to Stagnant – Tokens drop from Top Gainers list quickly.

Real Example: Avoiding Losses with Signal Data
Ian Balina mentioned how users avoided major losses by exiting weak tokens early thanks to falling grades and bearish signals. Instead of hoping, they acted — preserving capital and rotating into stronger plays like Launch Coin or AI tokens.

What to Do When You See Bearish Signs

  • Don’t panic – Act on data, not emotion.
  • Set stop-losses based on bold signal entry points.
  • Rotate capital into high-grade tokens or stablecoins.
  • Monitor daily – The market can flip from bullish to bearish in hours.

Combining Risk Management with Signals
Token Metrics isn’t just about finding moonshots. It’s also about knowing when not to buy or when to exit early. By using bearish signals, you protect yourself from downside while staying positioned for the next big opportunity.

Conclusion
The best crypto traders aren’t just profit-hunters — they’re risk managers. Bearish signals from Token Metrics help you anticipate weakness, reduce losses, and trade with clarity. In a volatile market, that edge can make all the difference.

From Retail to Institutions: Who’s Driving the Crypto Market in 2025?

Token Metrics Team
4 min

Crypto markets are evolving — and fast. In the early days, retail investors dominated the space. But by 2025, the tides are shifting. Institutional investors, family offices, and algorithmic funds are entering the market at scale. This blog explores the growing divide — and how it’s reshaping opportunities for everyday traders.

The Rise of Institutional Money in Crypto
Over the last year, a new class of investors has emerged: professional firms with deep pockets and long-term horizons. They're no longer just “exploring crypto” — they’re actively deploying capital.

Why now?

  • Regulatory clarity in major jurisdictions
  • Bitcoin ETF approvals and crypto fund launches
  • Better custody, risk management, and analytics tools (including Token Metrics)

What Are Institutions Buying?
Institutions tend to avoid meme coins and hyper-volatility. Instead, they focus on:

  • Layer 1 Infrastructure – Ethereum alternatives like Sui and Avalanche
  • AI Tokens – Leveraging real-world utility and strong narratives
  • DeFi Blue Chips – Projects with consistent TVL and governance upgrades
  • Stable Yield Strategies – On-chain bonds, staking, and real-world asset tokens

Token Metrics has seen a spike in institutional users filtering by Investor Grade and project fundamentals.

Retail Traders Still Dominate One Arena
Retail traders are far from out — they dominate high-volatility narratives:

  • Meme tokens
  • Social coin launches (e.g., Launchcoin)
  • Short-term speculation based on influencer sentiment

Retail’s edge? Speed, risk tolerance, and virality. Many of Token Metrics’ bold signals still originate from this activity before institutions catch on.

Token Metrics Bridging the Divide
What makes Token Metrics powerful in 2025 is its ability to serve both segments:

  • Institutions use it for due diligence, grades, and long-term planning.
  • Retail traders use it for short-term signals, alerts, and narrative tracking.

This dual capability creates a level playing field, where data, not capital, is the edge.

How to Trade Based on Who’s in Control

  1. When institutions lead – expect slower but more sustainable growth. Focus on high Investor Grade tokens.
  2. When retail leads – expect fast-moving pumps and dumps. Use high Trader Grade + bold signals.
  3. Hybrid phase (now) – Use both metrics to balance volatility and long-term conviction.

Market Behavior Patterns to Watch

  • Low volatility + high inflows → Institutional buildup
  • High volume + sudden spikes → Retail-driven narratives
  • Diverging BTC vs. altcoin trends → Mixed sentiment cycles

Conclusion
The crypto market in 2025 is being driven by both the old guard and the new wave. Institutions bring maturity. Retail brings momentum. Smart investors use tools like Token Metrics to read the room — and position themselves accordingly.

Trader vs. Investor Grade: How to Use Both for Smarter Crypto Bets

Token Metrics Team
4 min

Crypto trading success often boils down to timing. But how do you know when to enter — and when to stay long? Token Metrics solves this dilemma with a dual-grade system: Trader Grade and Investor Grade. Each grade serves a different investment goal, and together, they help you make more confident decisions, whether you’re day trading or holding for the long run.

What is the Trader Grade?
The Trader Grade measures short-term momentum. It uses AI to analyze price action, volume trends, technical indicators, and recent sentiment shifts. Scores range from 0 to 100, and a score above 80 signals strong short-term potential.

Use Case:

  • Perfect for swing traders and short-term opportunists.
  • Look for tokens with Trader Grade > 80 for potential breakout trades.
  • Example: Launchcoin had a Trader Grade above 90 before its 35x rally began.

What is the Investor Grade?
The Investor Grade focuses on long-term fundamentals. It’s designed for those who want to hold tokens for months or even years. This grade considers tokenomics, development activity, ecosystem strength, narrative alignment, and long-term price structure.

Use Case:

  • Ideal for long-term portfolio builders.
  • A token with Investor Grade > 80 is a strong candidate for accumulation.
  • AI infrastructure tokens and modular blockchains often rank high here.

Why Use Both?
Most traders fail by only looking at hype or short-term charts. Token Metrics lets you blend data:

  • High Trader Grade + Low Investor Grade? Consider a short-term trade, not a long hold.
  • High Investor Grade + Low Trader Grade? Consider waiting for a better entry point.
  • Both High? Green light for confidence in both entry and long-term performance.

Case Study: Balancing Your Portfolio with Grades
Users can use the dual-grade approach for smarter allocation:

  • 30% of capital to high Trader Grade tokens (short-term plays)
  • 70% to high Investor Grade tokens (long-term holds)

This method helps mitigate risk and improve overall ROI.

Where to Find the Grades
Both grades are displayed prominently across:

  • Token Detail Pages – Real-time grade updates with historical data
  • Market Page Filters – Sort tokens by grade thresholds
  • Portfolio Builder Tool – Automatically selects tokens with strong grades

Tips for Grade-Based Trading

  1. Use Trader Grade for volatile markets or when prices are accelerating.
  2. Use Investor Grade when building positions in strong narratives like AI, DeFi, or infrastructure.
  3. Avoid tokens with both grades below 60 unless you’re making a speculative bet.

Conclusion
Trading without context is gambling. Token Metrics’ Trader and Investor Grades give you a proven framework for assessing both momentum and fundamentals. Whether you’re here for a quick flip or a long-term bet, using the dual-grade system can level up your crypto strategy.

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.
