OKB: Driven by OKX's announcement of a major tokenomics upgrade, OKB's discussion volume and price have seen significant increases. The upgrade includes a one-time burn of over 65 million tokens, reducing the total supply to 21 million. This strategic move has led to a price surge of over 100% in a short period for OKB. The upgrade also involves phasing out OKTChain and positioning OKB as the sole Gas and native token of the new X Layer public chain, focusing on DeFi, payments, and real-world assets. The market response has been positive, with many users expressing optimism about the long-term potential of these changes.

BNB: BNB has become a hot topic due to significant price fluctuations and community positivity. Key discussions include BNB reclaiming the $850 level, sparking speculation about a new all-time high, and its role in the BNB Chain 2025 Annual Awards Ceremony. The market is also eyeing its potential to reach the $1200–$1500 range in the next 4–8 months and its strategic position in the crypto ecosystem. Corporate buying pressure has driven a 4% increase, and BNB is also being included in various financial strategies and platforms.

POL: Today's discussion around Polygon (POL) has focused on its significant progress and ecosystem integration, including its leadership in the micropayment field, association with Hyperbridge, and role in cross-chain exchanges. The market is also paying attention to Polygon's integration with various ecosystems and its scalability, especially its influence in the Latin American and Asian markets. Its strong net fund flows and strategic partnerships are seen as driving further growth.

DOGE: Dogecoin (DOGE) has received high attention and positive sentiment on Twitter, mainly driven by discussions of a potential significant price increase and institutional interest. Highlights include predictions that if Bitcoin hits a new all-time high, DOGE could break $0.27 and experience a "god candle." The coin has recently risen by 25.5%, reflecting a trend of funds moving from Bitcoin to the altcoin sector. Additionally, DOGE's position as a top meme coin and its integration with platforms like DogeOS are also fueling market excitement.

1. "This DEX That Didn't Issue Tokens Has Revenue Exceeding Uniswap"

An under-the-radar dark horse DEX called Perp DEX, operating for only a year, has surpassed Ethereum, Base, and other top public chains in 24-hour revenue. Looking back over 7 days, it has outperformed Uniswap, Jupiter, AAVE, Lido, and other DeFi old-timers. It is not only one of the few projects within the top 15 in daily revenue rankings that did not issue tokens, but also the perp dex with the best BTC and ETH liquidity depth within a 0.01% price difference range. This revenue curve's new "monster" is called edgeX.

2. "Recalling the Platform Coin Battle from 4 Years Ago, Is There Still 10x Room to Grow?"

With Bitcoin hitting new highs again and Ethereum's continuous rise hinting at the upcoming altcoin season, platform coins have taken the lead. After OKB surged to a historic high yesterday, BNB also rose to the challenge, breaking through $865 with its high market cap, setting a new record. Despite Binance going through months of adjustments after CZ stepped down as CEO, this year's launch of Binance Alpha successfully achieved overtaking in the Web3 wallet race. Although the launch frequency of Launchpool and Launchpad projects has decreased, BNB holders can still enjoy exclusive airdrop benefits. Furthermore, as the concept of "treasury" stocks rises in the US stock market, BNB has quickly positioned itself in related areas, further driving its price surge and demonstrating strong market momentum.
