The main reason why I write is to make a channel worth following, which posts something that is not only informative or interesting, but also useful to know.
It is logical $BNB would be as valuable as to withstand and even absorb sharp price declines while the other utility tokens are irreparably damaged and unable to breakout from the bottom.
It is not immune, but it is without doubt the most resilient.
Unlike $ETH and $SOL , BNB is near its all time high (ATH).
Toncoin ($TON ) is finding some support around ~10% above/below 3.00. That level is almost 60% from the levels it had in 2024 Q4, before its bearish trend started in January.
Market metrics show ~7-8% weekly price gain despite 90% of holders at a loss.
In 2025, small retracements along the way were due to Telegram integration and partnership announcements, all of which sparked a series of shortlived bullish momentums that failed to restore its price to anywhere near the 7-8 levels (the current top).
Scandals associated with #Telegram obviously had a negative impact in the price of its token.
Network outages, unconfirmed partnerships have depressed market sentiment.
Last week, its price jumped to 3.5 (+20%) within a week driven by speculation. Capital influx caused by the news came mostly from traders who speculated (as usual) that a partnership with #xAI would materialize ($300M Telegram-xAI deal for AI integration rumors were denied by Elon Musk).
In spite all this, something positive can be derived. Pessimism have deflated the price, which makes them attractive to anyone waiting for an entry since its release.
It potential is undeniable, but it is not currently a reality.
How low is too low? nobody knows. What we do know is that is near it all time lows.
Yields are higher as the perceived risk of default/liquidation goes up.
Here in Binance you can get an idea of risk/volatility by monitoring the APR of listed tokens in the Simple Earn or Dual Investment Menu.
Compare more stable tokens such as BTC BNB, in contrast with more volatile ones like ETH SOL or extreme cases such as $WCT that reached almost 1000% APR at some point last week and $SOPH with a ~200% APR.

Take $BNB or $PAXG as an example of how little action you get without whimsical volatility. It might sound negative, but it is quite the opposite. Do the sleep test yourself.
A correction was bound to happen. However, do not forget where was the price of $ETH some weeks ago.
As of May 2025 its price almost doubled, going from ~1400 to >2600 in a matter of weeks.
The volatility makes it more risky than $BTC . Still, its recovery was a violent as its collapse.
People were the most pessimistic when the price was below 1400 (fearing it would reach 2023 levels) and most optimistic when it was about 3500 (expecting an new ATH). Do not be persuaded by anyone's opinion. Form your own.
Believing TOP CRYPTOCURRENCIES would "die" only proves a person is trading anything for a quick profit following tips.
As for Ethereum, on can assert that $ETH is not a MEME COIN, it profits from them and many other real use cases.
MetaMask deals/partnerships seem to be well received but only briefly.
After every violent rise, $MASK snaps back below its 200D EMA no matter how compelling the reason to hype about it. It might trend for a while before it loses momentum, as it did just recently when it fell into obscurity.
If you go LONG beware that unless this time is different, it is likely to correct as aggressively as it brokeout.
If you SHORT mind that this time there could be some other catalyst at play, provided the sudden spike in activity is not a large purchase in weak order books.
There is a limit on how much value you can attach to utility tokens with limited benefits.
AI writes eloquently, and beats churnalism, specially that of most newsletters in the internet even CNN which report more gossip than relevant information.
Sure reading what AI has to say breaks the monotony of human driven feeds in #X or #BinanceSquare
As if the majority of posts felt natural. It is annoying they seem serial or mass produced.
Did you know that the order type determines whether or not you are Market Maker or Taker? The distinction is important because Takers are usually charged a higher free while makers get a discount. The treatment differs in order to balance the risk or opportunity loss the trader is incurring. For example, a Taker can "take" liquidity by buying/selling immediately with a "MARKET order" and enter and exit without having to wait to be filled, but pays a little more fees to compensate market makers. Maket Markers on the other hand, are offered discounts as an incentive for them to lock their capital in LIMIT orders that help increase the depth and density of the order book which helps price discovery.
There are token that trade with 0 fees for Market Taker and Market Maker in Spot such as $USDC $USDT
"Everyone" asserts "MEME COINS ARE A SCAM". But I am convinced, all of us have traded a coin at least once. There is no need to be ashamed of that. What would be a disgrace, is becoming a gambler instead of a trader. There are plenty of morale stories about the tragedy of the fool who believed in get-rich-quick stories. I believe you find them and even "real-life stories" in any social feed in any crypto exchange. The misfortunes of others serves as warnings or lessons of what not to do. In crypto, the morale is almost always: "Do not to bet a MEME COIN would be as profitable as advertised" Remember the downside potential is as great as the upside potential. Being as illiquid as they are (pointing specifically to new under capitalized coins) you are liable for drawdowns of ~60% at best with 0% leverage (e.g in the case of spot traders/holders). Mind the diversity. MEMEs cannibalism is best seem by observing how the capitalization of one coin moves from project to project along with the media attention. As of 2025, top coins by market capitalization are listed in the image below.
Nobody knows which tokens in the list will be still relevant or even survive until next year. For some reason, some people call them shitty coins when they lose or see the charts. For those who have profitted from speculating on them, #memecoins are still shitty coins but also a tradable asset. Mature individuals are aware of this and would still trade them in spite of any warning because they are just trading. $DOGE $PEPE or any other of the same family is tradable as long as they do not go into comma as more obscure memes such as $SHIB (which was once "prominent"). If you trade them, be dispassionate and accept the risk and the potential danger you might face. I find the meme culture hilarious, but meme coins as the tulips of the 21st century. Therefore if I trade, is with a margin of safety greater than what I would find acceptable for cryptocurrencies like BTC or BNB. Imagine waiting for a retracement of at least 50%, which happens more frequently than one would imagine. See the charts yourself. What do you think about memecoins ? Let me know!
