Hot Tracks

Tron Ecosystem

This week, with the sharp rise in the price of TRX tokens, Tron has gained a lot of market popularity. As funds continue to enter the market, Tron, as the main trading chain of USDT, has also seen a significant increase in on-chain activities this week.

  • Tron’s on-chain data

TVL: Trons TVL rose rapidly this week, ranking first among all large-scale public chains, from 7.97 B last week to 9.3 2B now, an increase of 16.93%. It can be seen that funds are actively entering the Tron chain.

Active accounts: The number of active accounts on the Tron chain increased significantly this week. The number of active accounts this week reached 3.6725 million, an increase of 18.06% from last week, maintaining a high growth rate, indicating that the Tron chain is very active.

USDT weekly trading volume: The USDT trading volume on the Tron chain reached 131.4 billion US dollars this week, an increase of 16.23% from last week. From the weekly trading volume of USDT, it can be seen that the on-chain trading volume of Tron is constantly increasing, indicating an increase in Tron chain activities.

Defi project TVL increment: In the Tron ecosystem, TVL is mainly composed of Justlend and SUN, which are lending and stablecoin exchange, token mining and autonomous integration projects respectively. This week, the TVL growth rate is very rapid, reaching 55.34% and 39.49% respectively. It can be seen that funds in the Tron ecosystem are constantly entering Defi projects.

The most direct criterion for judging whether a public chain is favored by the market is the increase or decrease in its TVL. Based on the above data, we can see that the Tron chain is maintaining rapid development at this stage. As the price of TRX has risen sharply this week, the underlying assets of the TRX ecosystem are constantly rising. In addition, Tron’s special status as the main trading chain of USDT has attracted a large number of on-chain users to participate, promoting the development of the entire Tron ecosystem.

AI Agent

At the end of last year, as the concept of AI entered the Crypto market, as a combination point with the traditional world, the AI track has always been a hot track in the Crypto market. Since the launch of the first AI Agent token GOAT in October this year, AI Agent Meme has quickly become the new focus of the market. After GOAT, AI Agent Meme tokens such as ACT appeared, leading the market trend at the time. After that, investors turned their attention to the launch platform of AI Agent tokens, among which Virtuals Protocol, vvaifu.fun and other projects quickly became popular and began to develop in the direction of AI Agent underlying infrastructure. As a result, three sub-tracks have been formed in the AI Agent track: AI Agent Meme coin, AI Agent issuance platform and AI Agent underlying infrastructure.

Since each chain has different levels of support for AI Agent projects, AI Agent projects are currently mainly developed on Solana, Ton, and Base chains. At present, hundreds of AI Agent Meme tokens are issued every day, and it is too difficult for investors to bet on a project, so some investors in the market have shifted their attention to the launch platform of AI Agent Meme tokens. Among them, vvaifu.fun is the main one in Solana chain, Virtuals Protocol and AI Agent Layer are the main ones on Base chain, and Clanker is the main one in Ton chain. In the past half month, the price of VVAIFU, VIRTUAL, and CLANKER has risen rapidly, and a certain market value has been formed.

Among them, VVAIFU is mainly traded in Raydium and listed in MEXC and Gate in CEX; VIRTUAL has a high trading volume in Uniswap and Cake in DEX, and is listed in second- and third-tier exchanges such as Gate, Bybit, Bitgit, and MEXC in CEX; CLANKER has a high trading volume in Uniswap in DEX, and is listed in second- and third-tier exchanges such as Gate, Bitgit, and MEXC in CEX. From the situation of the exchanges where its tokens are listed, it can be seen that there are currently no projects listed on first-tier exchanges, but from the situation that ACT, GOAT, and ANON in AI Agent Meme have been listed on first-tier exchanges such as Binance, OKX, and Huobi, the launch platform projects of AI Agent tokens will be listed on first-tier exchanges sooner or later, so it is still in the early stages of these projects and it is worth investing in users.

On Wednesday, OpenAI announced that it would start livestreaming a new product or sample every weekday for 12 days, and there will be some large new products during this period. This move has triggered market hype about the AI track. After releasing ChatGPT last year, OpenAI has become a leader in the AI industry, and its every word and deed will have an impact on the development of AI track projects. Especially in the Crypto market, this impact is magnified. For AI track projects in the Crypto market, OpenAIs move will inevitably bring the markets attention back to the AI track during the conference. If the Crypto market does not experience drastic fluctuations during this period, the AI track will see a good increase in the next 10 days. Therefore, investors should pay more attention to projects related to the AI track in the short term, as investment opportunities may arise.

SaucerSwap(SAUCE):(Recommendation index: ⭐️⭐️⭐️)

  • Project Introduction: SaucerSwap is a decentralized exchange based on the Hedera chain. It not only supports conventional trading functions, but also launched the SAUCE Pro service, which provides users with advanced functions by using the SaucerSwap protocol token SAUCE as a monthly subscription fee.

  • Latest development: This week, the HBAR token has risen significantly, driving the popularity of Hedera chain activities. As the largest DEX on the Hedera chain, SaucerSwap has attracted a large number of users on the Hedera chain to participate in transactions. This week, SaucerSwap repurchased $33,000 of SAUCE tokens, raising the annualized APY of users staking SAUCE to 9.9%. This week, SaucerSwap launched the Epoch 28 event, giving SaucerSwap V2 liquidity providers 157,441.90 HBAR as a reward, and the token HLQT is additionally given to participants who provide liquidity for HLQT. As the largest DEX in the Hedera ecosystem, SaucerSwap almost bears all the DEX transaction volume in the Hedera ecosystem. As the on-chain transactions continue to heat up this week, more and more Hedera chain users have entered SaucerSwap to participate in transactions.

To sum up, we can see that the projects with faster TVL growth this week are mainly concentrated in the liquidity staking track (LRT).

Overall performance on the track

  • The market value of stablecoins has grown steadily: USDT has increased from $138.6 billion last week to $141 billion, an increase of 1.74%, and USDC has increased from $39.4 billion last week to $40.2 billion, an increase of 2.03%. It can be seen that both USDT, which is mainly based on the non-US market, and USDC, which is mainly based on the US market, have increased this week, indicating that the entire market is still maintaining a continuous inflow of funds.

  • Liquidity gradually increases: The risk-free arbitrage rate in the traditional market continues to decline as interest rates continue to fall, while the arbitrage rate of on-chain Defi projects continues to increase due to the increase in the value of cryptocurrency assets. Returning to Defi will be a very good choice.

Frontier Lab Crypto Market Weekly Report|W49

Defi TVL of each track (data source: https://定义llama.com/categories)

  • Funding situation: The TVL of Defi projects has increased from US$46.8 billion last week to US$53.2 billion now, with new funds reaching 13.67%. The growth rate this week is much higher than in previous weeks, and it has maintained a continuous upward trend for nearly two months, proving that funds are constantly flowing into Defi projects.

Deep analysis

Driving force for the rise: BTC price rebounded this week and then rose again. ETH performed slightly better than BTC this week. ETH price rose sharply. Both BTC and ETH maintained a strong growth trend this week. Market investors are more optimistic about the future price trend of BTC and ETH, so they hold more firmly. As ETH price has remained strong recently, various Defi projects have increased APY due to the rise of underlying assets. Therefore, investors actively participate in various Defi projects and can increase their income while holding the original assets.

Growth leaders: For DeFi projects, TVL growth is one of the intuitive indicators to evaluate their performance. By analyzing this weeks TVL growth list, we can see that the projects in the liquidity pledge track are particularly outstanding. This week, the prices of the underlying assets of major public chains have risen significantly, which not only enhances the confidence of coin holders, but also encourages them to increase their returns by participating in other investment activities while holding coins. In this context, liquidity pledge projects have become key. The core of liquidity pledge is to increase the yield by releasing liquidity without changing the number of underlying assets held by users. The effective operation of this mechanism depends on the rise in the price of the underlying assets. As the price of ETH rises, it is expected that the prices of various public chains in the Crypto market will also rise, thereby driving the growth of their corresponding liquidity pledge projects. This trend shows that liquidity pledge projects are not only competitive in the current market environment, but will continue to play an important role in future market fluctuations.

Therefore, when investing in the near future, investors should pay more attention to the liquidity staking track projects of various public chains.

According to data analysis, the Layer 1 blockchain projects received the most attention on social media this week, and generally showed an upward trend, generally performing better than BTC and ETH. Defi projects in various public chain ecosystems continued to be hot this week, because the rise in the prices of the underlying assets of various public chains led to an increase in the APY of various Defi projects, thereby increasing the TVL and transaction volume of various Defi projects. This phenomenon reflects that in the current market environment, investors remain optimistic about the future market.

Overall overview of market themes

Frontier Lab Crypto Market Weekly Report|W49

Data source: SoSoValue

In terms of weekly returns, the PayFi track performed the best, while the SocialFi track performed the worst.

  • PayFi track: XRP, BCH and XLM account for a large proportion in the PayFi track, accounting for 71.81%, 8.29% and 10.09% respectively, totaling 90.19%. This week, XRP and BCH performed very strongly, rising by 58.83% and 21.36% respectively. Although other projects accounted for a small proportion, they rose significantly this week, so the entire PayFi sector performed very well.

  • SocialFi track: The absolute main force of the SocialFi track is still TON, which accounts for 88.91% of the market value of the SocialFi track. The increase this week was very limited, at 4.82%, resulting in the worst performance of the SocialFi track. From this, it can be seen that market funds have not paid enough attention to the SocialFi track recently, and no large amount of funds have entered the SocialFi track during the fund rotation.

下周展望

In an interview at the DealBook/Summit conference overnight on Wednesday, Fed Chairman Powell said that Bitcoin is not a rival of the US dollar, but a rival of gold. Trumps nomination of cryptocurrency-friendly Paul Atkins as SEC chairman was considered by the market to be a relatively large positive, so the price of Bitcoin broke through $100,000. Although it fell afterwards, it led to subsequent optimism in the Crypto market. Whether the Bitcoin investment proposal will be approved at Microsofts December shareholders meeting next week will greatly affect the short-term market trend. The announcement of the US seasonally adjusted CPI annual rate at the end of November will be considered an important indicator of whether the Federal Reserve will continue to cut interest rates in December. Therefore, it is expected that the Crypto market will be greatly affected by macro data and Microsofts vote next week, and there is a high probability that it will go out of the volatile trend. Investors should remain cautious.

Projects in the DeFi field, especially liquidity pledge protocols, machine gun pools, and DEX tracks, performed relatively well this week. This is mainly because liquidity pledge protocols and machine gun pools benefit from the rise in the price of underlying assets, so the arbitrage interest rate of DeFi projects gradually rises due to the increase in the value of encrypted assets, so it is expected to continue to attract a large number of investors to participate in search of higher yield opportunities. DEX projects are the main form of on-chain activities. With the continuous rise in asset prices and the continuous rise in market conditions, DEX projects have naturally become the fastest growing track on the chain.

AI Agent track projects are now in the initial stage, mainly focusing on Solana, Ton and Base chains. At this stage, there are two types of projects that are mainly hyped: Meme coin projects linked to the concept of AI, and AI Agent token launch platforms. Among them, for ordinary investors, the probability of betting on a single Meme coin is extremely low, and they should focus on AI Agent token launch platform projects, similar to Memes launch platform Pump.fun, and mainly pay attention to whether the number of tokens launched by the platform every day continues to increase and whether the transaction amount maintains positive growth.
