List of strong tokens

Dogecoin (DOGE for short) was first launched in 2013 by Belgian software engineer Billy Marcus and Australian Jackson Palmer.

Dogecoin was initially based on the technology of Bitcoin and Litecoin, using the Scrypt algorithm, which is suitable for paying small transactions. Musk is a well-known supporter of Dogecoin. After he supported Trump's successful campaign for the US presidency, DOGE also became the core asset of Musk's concept.

Grass aims to replace them and build the first user-owned, web-wide knowledge graph.
Keywords: open network, web crawling, node, AI model, knowledge graph

Goatseus Maximus——GOAT（+70%，7d）

Although GOAT was not created by AI, the tweets and marketing of Truth Terminal greatly promoted the popularity of GOAT. GOAT was first proposed by "Truth Terminal" in a conversation, and then someone quickly created GOAT coins on the platform and triggered speculation. Through continuous publicity on social platforms and support from well-known investors in the industry, the market value of GOAT soared to US$800 million in a short period of time. Although it is positioned as an "AI Meme Coin", GOAT still requires human control of content release and fund operations, and has failed to achieve complete autonomy.

Summary
The current market's optimistic expectations are mainly focused on the policy dividends that the Trump administration may bring to the encryption industry. Dogecoin is a representative of this type of asset, combining elements such as Musk's support and MEME culture. The significant progress of Ethena and SUI at the application layer and infrastructure layer has also attracted the attention of investors, further driving the market's heat. The above projects have surpassed Bitcoin in performance due to their innovation, strong community support and response to mainstream trends in the crypto industry.
In addition, the outbreak of tokens such as ACT and PNUT shows that the focus of centralized exchanges on the MEME community may become a long-term trend, and investors should adapt to this change as soon as possible.
