The AI craze sweeps Solana meme Token YUMI with an 80-fold rise.
AI and crypto market dynamics
Macroeconomic Environment
Microsoft shareholders reject Bitcoin investment plan
At the recent shareholders' meeting, Microsoft's major shareholders voted against a proposal to invest 1% of the company's total assets in Bitcoin. This proposal was put forward by a research center with the aim of hedging against inflation risks. Despite the enthusiastic speech by the founder of MicroStrategy at the meeting, emphasizing that Bitcoin investment could bring substantial returns to Microsoft, the shareholders ultimately chose to support the board's conservative stance.
Microsoft's main shareholders are mostly large institutional investors, who seem to still hold a cautious attitude towards cryptocurrency investments, preferring to avoid the volatility risks of the current market. This decision reflects the ongoing divergence of traditional financial institutions' attitudes towards digital assets.
Development in the Web3 Field
The performance of Solana ecosystem AI-related tokens is impressive.
On December 11, multiple AI-related tokens on the Solana chain once again demonstrated strong growth momentum. Among them, the no-code development platform ALCH's market cap surpassed $150 million, setting a new historical high with a daily increase of over 30%. At the same time, the AI-driven venture capital DAO token ai16z also exceeded the $800 million mark, with a daily increase of over 50%. Additionally, the meme coin DEGENAI saw a rise of over 70% within 24 hours, and its price has increased more than six times since its launch.
The outstanding performance of these tokens reflects the market's continued optimism about the combination of AI technology and blockchain, while also demonstrating investors' strong interest in innovative token projects.

Maverick Protocol launches an innovative DeFi platform
Maverick Protocol has launched a new platform called Goose.run on the Base chain, aimed at combining DeFi with meme coins. This platform not only provides features such as meme coin issuance and leveraged trading but also innovatively introduces a no-liquidation lending mechanism, effectively reducing the liquidation risks in high-volatility markets. Holders of the platform's governance tokens can participate in incentive distribution voting and share in the trading fee revenue, a design that is expected to enhance the overall value of the ecosystem.
Hot Narrative
Controversial NFT meme coin CULT launched
The meme coin CULT, launched by the founder of the Milady project, has finally gone live after nearly half a year of waiting, sparking heated discussions in the market. CULT adopts a unique token distribution method, including interactive segments like quizzes and drawings, which has attracted a lot of attention due to its unconventional issuance model. Although its market value once surpassed the $1 billion mark after launch, it has since experienced a correction. The future development of CULT will still rely on the continued support and promotion from its community.
Hot Projects
