Everyone loves the exponential growth curve.
Crypto isn’t different.
In fact, a good product spreads like wildfire in crypto.
See those that have been successful this cycle.
Their TVL, user count, and other success metrics blow up in a couple of hours and days, not in months.
But, we don’t talk enough about the flat part of the exponential curve.
It’s the hardest part of the exponential curve that is hard to survive.
It looks flat, and usually feels pointless.
You’re working 10x harder for 1x results.
But that’s how compounding works.
The edge is in surviving the flat part.
A lot of builders work tirelessly for years to hit the exponential part of the curve, but usually public sees the last part of the curve.
If you are at the beginning of the curve for whatever you are building, keep shipping and learning.
ME Surges 21% as Magic Eden Partners With TRUMP Memecoin, Trading Volume Tops 13 Million
The current price of ME is 1.028, up 21.23% over the last 24 hours from an open of 0.848, with trading volume exceeding 13 million ME/USDT, reflecting strong market activity. The significant price increase is primarily attributed to Magic Eden's confirmed collaboration with the TRUMP memecoin project to develop the TRUMP Wallet, which has driven renewed investor interest and positioned ME as a trending token following its recent listing. Broader positive sentiment in the cryptocurrency market, supported by rallies in major assets and increased institutional interest, has also contributed to ME's upward momentum.
Not touching SOL onchain for a while for 3 reasons:
1/ the average base AI agent team and product significantly stronger than on sol; largely from @virtuals_io being so active with geneses incubations and base foundation / jesse actively voicing support for projects - see $MAMO, $GIZA, $SOLACE
2/ hyperEVM heating up way faster than expected - increase in daily txns, onchain spot vols and new active addresses. primitives establishing themselves + new wave 2 of products being built. think the rotation will come more from sol than from base.
3/ and of course, pumpfun token would be a massive liquidity drain event for all other sol onchain tickers. goes without saying that this is the next-most anticipated launch since TRUMP on sol (and see what that launch did to hyped AI agent tickers back in jan). LAUNCHCOIN had a similar effect last month, to a smaller extent.
happy to hear opposing thoughts
Pump:
🔴 Shares 0% of fees with creators
🔴 Sees users as exit liquidity, never gives back
🔴 Incentivizes rugs, jeeters, violent livestreams
🔴 Sells ~$1bn worth SOL to extract
Virtuals:
🔵 Shares 70% of fees with creators
🔵 Sees users as VC partners, always gives back
🔵 Incentivizes utility, punishes scammers & jeeters
🔵 Holds agent tokens long-term
Pocketing $1bn from a token sale will be Pump founders' last tango in crypto - they already have 1000x the cash they need to improve/grow Pump
Pump is a PONZI CASINO
Virtuals is a DECENTRALIZED VC COMMUNITY
ANIME Surges 21% as Exchange Listings and Strong Utility Drive High Trading Volume
Animecoin (ANIME) is currently trading at $0.03268, up 21.67% over the last 24 hours, with significant trading volume and a circulating supply of 5.54 billion tokens. The recent price surge can be attributed to continued strong market interest following its listing on major exchanges, ongoing utility as the gas and governance token for Animechain and AnimeDAO, and positive sentiment from recent technical analyses and price forecasts projecting further growth. The removal of the ANIME/BNB trading pair on Binance did not impact overall liquidity, as ANIME remains available on other pairs and platforms, supporting continued active trading and upward price momentum.
📉 Migration Jitters Hit Pi Network — Can Bulls Defend the $0.60 Line?
Pi Network (PI) is again in the limelight as its price fails to breach $0.66. After a minor rebound from recent lows at $0.60, Pi Coin has been stuck in a tighter range for four sessions.
Analysts believe this coiling pattern indicates a strong move ahead, either a breakout or collapse.
Pi Network Coin now trades at $0.65 after numerous intraday pushes toward $0.66 failed. The price action is range-bound, with lesser volatility and volume as traders anticipate a mood move.
Pi Network market fundamentals worsen off the charts. Holderscan data reveals that the number of PI holders has stalled around 14,952, with few new additions. Growing dissatisfaction among early adopters explains this standstill.
Pi Network has witnessed a month-long trend of investors quietly withdrawing, said analyst Aaryamann Shrivastava. “This declining participation is eroding confidence in the project’s near-term prospects.”
User anger over Pi Network Coin migration troubles adds to the strain. Many customers have complained on social media about a second round of migration requirements, especially because some are still in KYC statuses.
Community Frustration Grows from Migration Issues

“This Pi thing is nonsense. After years of mining, we can't get our coin," one X user complained about Pi's cryptocurrency development.
Although fake accounts claimed a second migration phase had started, the Pi Core Team has not confirmed it. Users continue to be confused by unexpected app requests for further authentication.
276 Million Token Unlock Could Rock Pi Network
Pi crypto faces a major hurdle with the June issuance of 276 million PI coins. This release, worth $176 million, may flood the market with fresh supply and lower the Pi currency value.

Trump Media & Technology Group Initiates Process for Truth Social Bitcoin ETF
The Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) is planning to launch a Bitcoin ETF named Truth Social Bitcoin ETF, as revealed in a recent SEC filing. The ETF, which will be listed by NYSE Group Inc., is being created in partnership with Yorkville Advisors.
Although it will be one of over 60 US funds linked to BTC, it will be unique in that it will buy the asset and monitor its price like the already approved and trading ETFs. Critics have raised the issue of potential conflict of interest due to Trump's involvement in cryptocurrency policy and businesses.
However, the White House maintains that Trump is separate from the businesses using his name, and his TMTG shares have been transferred to a trust controlled by his son.
