5. Pump.fun Launches Mobile App to Boost Memecoin

Memecoin generator Pump.fun has launched a mobile application for iOS and Android devices, making its platform more accessible to users and effectively doubling the ongoing memecoin craze. The new mobile app from Pump.fun features similar functionalities to its web interface. It allows users to create their own Solana-based memecoins for free and trade existing tokens on the go. The company detailed in an announcement on Friday that the app includes tools for users to manage their memecoin portfolios and create custom watchlists to monitor tokens. Just weeks ago, Pump.fun faced a proposed class-action lawsuit accusing the company and its executives of violating U.S. securities laws. At this time, the ongoing memecoin trend seems to be accelerating. Bobby Ong, co-founder and COO of a cryptocurrency data aggregator, emphasized on social media that 600,000 new tokens were issued just in January of this year, a 12-fold increase compared to the same period in 2024. Ong attributed the surge in token issuance to monthly highs set by token launchpads like Pump.fun, which simplify the token creation process and allow users to do so without any technical expertise. While issuing new tokens is easier than ever, Ong also noted that new blockchains and decentralized exchanges are rapidly growing. He stated that at this rate, "in the next five years," there could be a billion tokens in circulation. The sheer number of new tokens may dilute available liquidity and attention. "There are too many tokens, and each token spreads traders' limited attention and liquidity even thinner. That’s why we haven’t seen the great altcoin surges of previous cycles," Ong stated on social media. CZ's dog made a fortune for a memecoin creator and outperformed everyone else. -Original

6. Wrapped AVAX Wallet Accumulation Surges

Despite the price of Wrapped AVAX (WAVAX) dropping over 4% in the past 24 hours, the accumulation of wallets on the Avalanche blockchain has surged. Data shows that today, a total of 3,898 wallets increased their WAVAX holdings, nearly double the recent average of 1,600. Wrapped tokens are cryptocurrencies that represent assets from another blockchain or token standard, with a value equivalent to the original cryptocurrency. Wrapped tokens can be used on certain non-native blockchains for trading and lending on DeFi platforms, and then redeemed for the original cryptocurrency. Although a price drop typically indicates bearish sentiment, the rise in accumulation may suggest that some traders see long-term potential in WAVAX. However, whether this buying activity will translate into price stability or a rebound remains to be seen. Shortly before the wallet accumulation, major cryptocurrency exchange Binance added AVAX as a cashback option for its Bybit Card product, following technical advancements achieved through the Avalanche9000 upgrade at the end of last year. The Avalanche ecosystem has also been seeing increasing integrations, including the expansion of BlackRock's tokenized fund BUIDL onto it. Wrapped AVAX is a tokenized version of Avalanche's native AVAX coin, enabling broader compatibility across decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. The growing number of wallets holding WAVAX may indicate that users are preparing for future DeFi activities. The DeFi ecosystem of Avalanche includes major protocols like Aave and Lido, which have seen a slight decline in total locked value over the past few months. However, according to data from DeFiLlama, the network's trading volume has been steadily increasing. -Original
