Stop Guessing, Start Trading: The Token Metrics API Advantage

Announcements

Big news: We’re cranking up the heat on AI-driven crypto analytics with the launch of the Token Metrics API and our official SDK (Software Development Kit). This isn’t just an upgrade – it's a quantum leap, giving traders, hedge funds, developers, and institutions direct access to cutting-edge market intelligence, trading signals, and predictive analytics.

Crypto markets move fast, and having real-time, AI-powered insights can be the difference between catching the next big trend or getting left behind. Until now, traders and quants have been wrestling with scattered data, delayed reporting, and a lack of truly predictive analytics. Not anymore.

The Token Metrics API delivers 32+ high-performance endpoints packed with powerful AI-driven insights right into your lap, including:

  • Trading Signals: AI-driven buy/sell recommendations based on real-time market conditions.
  • Investor & Trader Grades: Our proprietary risk-adjusted scoring for assessing crypto assets.
  • Price Predictions: Machine learning-powered forecasts for multiple time frames.
  • Sentiment Analysis: Aggregated insights from social media, news, and market data.
  • Market Indicators: Advanced metrics, including correlation analysis, volatility trends, and macro-level market insights.

Getting started with the Token Metrics API is simple:

  1. Sign up at www.tokenmetrics.com/api
  2. Generate an API key and explore sample requests.
  3. Choose a tier–start with 50 free API calls/month, or stake TMAI tokens for premium access.

x402 & HTTP 402 Explained: Why Wallet-Paid API Calls Are Winning (and Where Token Metrics Fits)

Token Metrics Team
10 min read

What Is x402?

x402 is an open-source, HTTP-native payment protocol developed by Coinbase that enables pay-per-call API access using crypto wallets. It leverages the HTTP 402 Payment Required status code to create seamless, keyless API payments.

It eliminates traditional API keys and subscriptions, allowing agents and applications to pay for exactly what they use in real time. It works across Base and Solana with USDC and selected native tokens such as TMAI.

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

TLDR — The x402 Value Proposition

x402 transforms API access by making payments native to HTTP requests.

How HTTP 402 Payment Required Works — Technical Deep Dive

The Protocol Flow

The HTTP 402 status code was reserved in HTTP/1.1 in 1997 for future digital payment use cases and was never standardized for any specific payment scheme. x402 activates this path by using 402 responses to coordinate crypto payments during API requests.

  1. Step by step: Client makes an API request with the header x-coinbase-402: true.
  2. The server can return 402 with payment details such as amount, recipient, and chain.
  3. The client wallet signs and submits the payment transaction.
  4. The server verifies the payment on-chain, then processes the original request and returns 200 with data.

Why this matters: It eliminates intermediary payment processors, enables true machine-to-machine commerce, and reduces friction for AI agents.

Ecosystem Proof: x402 Is Winning — Three Validation Points

CoinGecko Recognition

CoinGecko launched a dedicated x402 Ecosystem category in October 2025, tracking 700+ projects with over $1 billion market cap and approximately $213 million in daily trading volume. Top performers include PING and Alnalyst, along with established projects like EigenCloud.

  

Base Network Adoption

Base has emerged as the primary chain for x402 adoption, with 450,000+ weekly transactions by late October 2025, up from near-zero in May. This growth demonstrates real agent and developer usage.

x402scan Composer — Where Agents Pay in Real Time

Composer is x402scan's sandbox for discovering and using AI agents that pay per tool call. Users can open any agent, chat with it, and watch tool calls and payments stream in real time.

Top agents include AInalyst, Canza, SOSA, and NewEra. The Composer feed shows live activity across all agents.

Why x402 Changes Everything for AI Agents

  • Eliminates onboarding friction. Agents can discover and use new APIs instantly without human intervention for API key management or billing setup.
  • Enables true agentic commerce. Agents pay for exactly what they use, which makes micro-transactions economically viable. This unlocks composition of multiple specialized services.
  • Aligns incentives. API providers get paid per call, users only pay for value received, and agents can optimize costs by choosing best-fit providers. Network effects accelerate as more endpoints adopt x402.

Use Cases Already Working

  • Crypto analytics agents: Pull Token Metrics data on demand to answer market questions, generate trade signals, or build custom dashboards.
  • Research automation: Chain together x402 endpoints like Twitter search, Tavily extract, Firecrawl, and Token Metrics to gather and structure data.
  • Portfolio management: Agents monitor positions, fetch real-time prices, calculate risk metrics, and execute rebalancing decisions using paid data sources.
  • Trading strategy backtests: Access historical OHLCV, grades, and signals data via x402 without committing to monthly subscriptions.
  • Multi-chain intelligence: Combine Base and Solana x402 services for cross-chain analysis and arbitrage discovery.

Ecosystem Participants and Tools

Active x402 Endpoints

Key endpoints beyond Token Metrics include Heurist Mesh for crypto intelligence, Tavily extract for structured web content, Firecrawl search for SERP and scraping, Twitter or X search for social discovery, and various DeFi and market data providers.

Infrastructure and Tools

  • x402scan: Explorer and analytics platform tracking all x402 activity across chains.
  • Composer: Hosted sandbox for discovering and using x402-enabled agents.
  • x402-axios and x402-httpx: Client libraries for Node.js and Python.
  • Coinbase Agent Kit: SDK integration for building x402-native agents.
  • LangChain connectors: Framework integration for agent workflows.

Common Questions About x402

How is x402 different from traditional API keys?

x402 uses wallet signatures instead of API keys. Payment happens per call rather than via subscription. No sign-up, no monthly billing, no rate limit tiers. You pay for exactly what you use.

Which chains support x402?

Currently Base and Solana. Most activity is on Base with USDC as the primary payment token. Some endpoints accept native tokens like TMAI for discounts.

Do I need to trust the API provider with my funds?

No. Payments are on-chain and verifiable. You approve each transaction amount. No escrow or prepayment is required.

What happens if a payment fails?

The API returns 402 Payment Required again with updated payment details. Your client retries automatically. You do not receive data until payment confirms.

Can I use x402 with existing API clients?

Yes, with x402 client libraries such as x402-axios for Node and x402-httpx for Python. These wrap standard HTTP clients and handle the payment flow automatically.

Getting Started Checklist

  1. Set up a wallet: Create a Base wallet with USDC or TMAI balance.
  2. Install x402 client: npm install x402-axios or pip install x402-httpx.
  3. Choose an endpoint: Browse x402scan or Composer for available APIs.
  4. Write minimal code: Add x-coinbase-402: true header to requests.
  5. Watch payments flow: Monitor transactions in your wallet and on x402scan feed.
  6. Optimize costs: Compare endpoint pricing, use TMAI for 10% discount, cache results when appropriate.

Token Metrics x402 Resources

What's Next for x402

Ecosystem expansion. More API providers adopting x402, additional chains beyond Base and Solana, standardization of payment headers and response formats.

Agent sophistication. As x402 matures, expect agents that automatically discover and compose multiple paid endpoints, optimize costs across providers, and negotiate better rates for bulk usage.

Signals From Fees Earned: Patterns to Watch

Fees Earned often rise with peak and average viewers, but timing matters. Several tokens here show concentrated peaks with modest averages, which implies that well timed announcements or coordinated segments can still produce high fees.

Age is not a blocker for this board. Newer tokens like Fapcoin appear due to focused activity, while older names such as Cope persist by mobilizing established holders. KOL count appears additive rather than decisive, with KIND standing out as the KOL leader.

Why Fees Earned Matters for Creators and Traders

For creators, Fees Earned reflects whether livestream moments translate into on-chain action. Design streams around clear calls to action, align announcements with segments that drive peaks, then sustain momentum with repeatable formats that stabilize averages.

For traders, Fees Earned complements market cap, viewers, and age. Look for projects that combine rising averages with consistent peaks, because those patterns suggest repeatable engagement rather than single event spikes.

Top 10 Pump.fun Livestream Tokens by Holders

Token Metrics Team
11 min read

New XAI gork leads with 15,687 holders, followed by Chill House at 16,291 and The Spirit of Gambling (Tokabu) at 10,605. Token Metrics Live (TMLIVE) entered the space on November 4 with 876 holders in its first 22 hours, backed by 7 years of live crypto content experience and a 500K+ audience. GeorgePlaysClashRoyale maintains strong position with 7,014 holders despite lower ranking by this metric. Distribution varies widely, with some projects showing concentrated holder bases and others demonstrating broader community adoption.

 For readers tracking pump.fun, recent pump.fun news around each pump.fun token and pump.fun price moves provides context, and this leaderboard explains what is pump.fun in practice through live data.

Why TMLIVE is the headline story in this ranking

Token Metrics Live (TMLIVE) is the primary focus of this series. On day one, the stream drove $1.7M 24h volume and an ATH market cap of $291.7K, with ~876 holders captured in the first 22 hours.

TMLIVE brings research-first programming to a meme-heavy category, translating seven years of consistent live coverage and a 500K+ audience into rapid early adoption on Pump.fun.

Holder Count Rankings for Pump.fun Livestream Tokens

Holder count measures how widely a token is distributed across a community. Unlike market cap, which shows total valuation, or volume, which tracks trading activity, holder count reveals how many unique wallets have acquired the token.

For livestream tokens on Pump.fun, holder count provides insight into community breadth and potential staying power. Projects with more holders tend to have wider support networks and more diverse participation during streams.

This ranking selects the top 10 Pump.fun tokens by holder count from the provided data. Numbers, tickers, and dates are kept exactly as shown, and any missing data points are marked with a dash.

https://pump.fun/coin/8Dxpc8Q8jg7TK8TT1pVntcqunHGofqpetCaP5fEhpump

Methodology and Secondary Signals

Holder count alone does not guarantee project success. We also track market cap, engagement rate, and seven-day retention as complementary signals of durability and community health.

When high holder counts pair with strong engagement and retention, Pump.fun projects tend to sustain momentum longer. Projects with concentrated holder bases may show different trading dynamics than those with broad distribution.

Methodology note: where available, we reference pump.fun api endpoints and pump.fun api documentation (including pump.fun api docs) to corroborate holder snapshots, and we map each token to its pump.fun program id (also called pump.fun solana program id or pump.fun program id solana) for consistent tracking across Solana explorers. We consider transactions, tvl, and pump.fun fees as secondary health checks, and we note any bonding assumptions using the pump.fun bonding curve formula, basic pump.fun tokenomics, and typical pump.fun token bonding time where publicly visible.

Token Metrics Live (TMLIVE): Research-Driven Market Analysis Stream

Token Metrics Live brings real-time, data-driven crypto market analysis to Pump.fun. Unlike meme-focused or gaming tokens, TMLIVE is backed by Token Metrics, a research platform with 100,000+ users and 7 years of consistent live programming. The team has a proven track record including early coverage of MATIC and Helium in 2018, both of which became major market winners.

TMLIVE launched on November 4, 2024, reaching an ATH market cap of $291.7K with $1.7M in 24-hour volume during its first stream. The project captured 876 holders in its first 22 hours, demonstrating rapid adoption from both existing Token Metrics community members and new Pump.fun participants.

What makes TMLIVE different:

  • Credibility: 7 years of consistent live crypto content, 500K+ audience across channels, and a track record of identifying market opportunities early.
  • Substance over hype: structured livestream segments focus on market updates, token analysis, and community Q&A rather than price speculation alone.
  • Existing infrastructure: research tools, analytics, and multi-channel distribution across X, Telegram, Discord, and email.
  • Current utility: recurring livestreams for market updates, token insights, and community Q&A within the Pump.fun ecosystem.

Quick facts: chain = Solana, launch = November 4, 2024, contract = 8Dxpc8Q8jg7TK8TT1pVntcqunHGofqpetCaP5fEhpump, milestone = ATH $291.7K with $1.7M 24h volume

Signals From Holder Count Performance

Higher holder counts tend to correlate with broader community participation and multiple entry points during livestreams. Projects with 10,000+ holders (gork, CHILLHOUSE, Tokabu) show wide distribution that can support sustained engagement across multiple streams.

Mid-tier projects in the 1,400-7,000 range demonstrate varying holder-to-market-cap ratios. GeorgePlaysClashRoyale has 7,014 holders supporting a $45.2M market cap, while Tokabu has 10,605 holders at $7.2M. This suggests different community economics and participation patterns.

Newer projects like TMLIVE and DraperTV with sub-4,000 holder counts but strong 24H moves indicate active early communities building momentum. TMLIVE's 876 holders in 22 hours, paired with $1.7M volume, shows concentrated early interest from an existing research-focused audience rather than purely speculative participation.

As a reference for analysts, we note pump.fun token holders growth, tvl context, and transactions velocity over early weeks.

Benchmarks to Watch for Pump.fun Livestream Success

Beyond holder count, these metrics help evaluate project health:

  • Peak concurrent viewers during streams
  • Average watch time per viewer
  • Chat messages per minute during active segments
  • Follower conversion rate from viewers to holders
  • Seven-day retention versus launch day
  • Holder growth rate week-over-week

Use these to compare Pump.fun projects beyond simple holder counts. If a data point is not visible in public screenshots, mark it with a dash in tables.

Why Holder Count Matters for Livestream Tokens

For creators: Holder count shows how effectively livestreams convert viewers into community members. Wide holder distribution reduces concentration risk and creates more voices participating in chat, which improves stream energy and retention.

For traders: Holder count helps assess community breadth. Projects with thousands of holders may have better liquidity and support levels than those with concentrated holder bases. However, concentration can also indicate strong conviction from early participants.

Distribution patterns: Projects that gain holders gradually over months (like Chill House or Tokabu) show different dynamics than rapid-growth tokens (like TMLIVE or DraperTV). Both patterns can succeed, but they require different community management approaches.

Creator Playbook: Convert Viewers to Holders

  • Build trust before launch: TMLIVE demonstrates the value of entering Pump.fun with an existing audience. 7 years of consistent content created credibility that translated to 876 holders in 22 hours. Build your audience with 4-8 weeks of consistent shows before launching a token.
  • Structure your streams: Run 45-60 minute shows with clear segments. Deliver value beyond price talk, provide analysis, frameworks, and tools viewers can reuse. TMLIVE focuses on research-driven market updates rather than hype cycles.
  • Make following easy: Use on-screen CTAs, coordinate announcements across X, Telegram, Discord, and email. Multi-channel amplification consistently lifts day-one reach and holder conversion.
  • Measure and iterate: Track viewer-to-holder conversion rate, average watch time, and seven-day retention. Use these metrics to refine segments and improve community stickiness.
  • Prioritize production quality: Invest in stable audio and video. Poor production drives viewers away before they convert to holders.

Additional Signals to Watch for Pump.fun Token Success

Structured segments and interactive formats increase average watch time and chat velocity, which correlate with healthier communities after launch. Projects that rely on hype alone tend to see faster holder churn after initial excitement fades.

Clear expectations and transparent messaging improve seven-day retention compared with hype-only streams. TMLIVE's research-driven approach sets expectations for ongoing value rather than quick speculation.

Multi-channel amplification across X, Telegram, Discord, and email consistently lifts day-one reach and discovery for Pump.fun tokens. Projects with 6+ KOL mentions tend to show faster early holder growth.

Why This Matters for Creators and Traders

Creators can design Pump.fun launches around consistent live segments and clear narratives. The leaders in this ranking demonstrate how personality, interactivity, or utility themes can drive holder growth beyond a single hype window. TMLIVE shows that substance-driven content can compete effectively in a meme-heavy environment.

Traders can use holder count to quickly assess community breadth, then layer in market cap, average viewers, and fees to judge staying power and crowd quality. Wide holder distribution suggests better liquidity and community resilience.

FAQs About Pump.fun Livestream Token Holders

What non-holder signals matter most for Pump.fun token durability?

Engagement rate (measured as messages per viewer per hour), average watch time, follower conversion from viewers, and seven-day retention matter most for Pump.fun token durability. These show whether attention sticks once the stream ends. We also reference pump.fun token price views, pump.fun pump price checks, and pump.fun pump current price context in dashboards.

What is the best way to track Pump.fun livestream leaders by holder count?

Use stalkchain.com/streams/scanner or Pump.fun token pages to view current holder rankings. For historical context, save periodic screenshots to compare changes over time. On Solana, the pump.fun program id helps map tokens to explorers, and the pump.fun logo on the pump.fun website makes official pages easy to verify.

Does higher holder count predict higher future returns for Pump.fun tokens?

Higher holder count does not necessarily predict higher future returns. Holder count reflects current distribution, not forward performance. Combine it with viewers, fees, market cap, holder growth rate, and neutral screens like pump.fun price prediction models for additional context.

How often do Pump.fun token holder rankings change?

Pump.fun token holder rankings change continuously as new wallets acquire tokens. This post reflects the timestamp of the provided screenshots captured on Nov 4-5, 2024.

Inside the Dashboard: How to Monitor API Key Activity and Monthly Usage in Real Time

Token Metrics Team
5 min

The power of any great API isn’t just in the data it provides — it’s also in the control, visibility, and accountability it gives developers. That’s why the Token Metrics API Dashboard is more than just a place to generate keys — it’s your real-time command center for monitoring API key usage, managing access, and optimizing performance.

In this article, we’ll explore how to use the Token Metrics API Dashboard to stay in control of your app’s data usage, track request history, and ensure your integrations remain secure and efficient.

📍 Where to Find It

To access the dashboard:

  1. Log in to your Token Metrics account.
  2. Go to: https://app.tokenmetrics.com/en/api
  3. Navigate to the API Keys and API Usage sections.

🔐 View and Manage API Keys

The API Keys section gives you a complete overview of every active key associated with your account. For each key, you’ll see:

  • Key Name: Descriptive labels like "Bot A" or "Staging Server"
  • Created Date: When the key was generated
  • Last Used: Timestamp of the most recent request
  • Status: Active or inactive toggle
  • Actions: Trash icon to instantly delete a key

💡 Why It Matters:

  • Spot unused or stale keys that may pose a security risk
  • Instantly disable or delete a key if it’s compromised
  • Monitor which app or environment is making the most requests

📊 Monitor API Usage in Real-Time

In the Usage Dashboard, Token Metrics gives you deep insights into how your API credits are being used.

Key metrics include:

  • API Calls Graph
    A daily call volume chart so you can identify peaks in usage, anomalies, or unexpected surges.

  • Total Monthly API Calls
    Example:
    8,750 / 20,000
    See how much of your monthly quota you’ve used — and when it resets.

  • Remaining API Credits
    Know exactly how many calls you have left in your current cycle.

  • API Call Statistics Table
    Each row includes:

    • Endpoint accessed (e.g., /trader-grade)
    • Timestamp of the request
    • Status code (200 = success, 401 = unauthorized, etc.)
    • Originating IP address
    • Success/failure response

🔄 Debugging & Insights Made Easy

This dashboard doesn’t just monitor—it helps you debug and optimize.

  • Quickly identify if your integration is repeatedly hitting 400 or 403 errors
  • Check whether a specific key is being overused or underused
  • Pinpoint spikes in usage that may indicate unauthorized access
  • See which endpoints are called most often — and consider caching results

⚠️ Avoid Rate Limit Surprises

If you’re on a Basic or Advanced plan, you’ll have a rate limit (e.g., 1 req/min for free users, up to 600 req/min for VIPs). The dashboard helps ensure you stay within your limits — and scale appropriately when needed.

🚀 Build Better with Transparency

In a production environment, visibility into API activity is critical. With Token Metrics, you’re never flying blind. You always know:

  • Which app is using which key
  • How many credits you’re using
  • When to optimize or upgrade

From security to scaling, the Token Metrics API Dashboard gives you the insight you need to build with clarity and control.

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.

Best Long-Term Crypto Picks for the 2025 Bull Market

Token Metrics Team
4 min

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.

Final Thoughts

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.
