The market trends in the past two days have clearly turned to AI agent functions, especially the surge in Griffain, Send and Blink tokens. Griffain's AI agent function once caused the token to rise more than 30 times. At the same time, the market value of Send tokens soared to 39 million US dollars at noon on the 12th. Although it was later adjusted, it still showed its strong potential. And Blink tokens have continued to rise in price through the unique "blink" interactive function, with the highest increase reaching 33 times. From the surge in Apple Dog and Chill Guy today, we can see the huge influence of social platforms such as c and Ins on the price of meme tokens. These tokens are not only products of entertainment and leisure, they have also become hot spots for investors. Through cooperation with celebrities, combination with hot topics, and continuous creation and dissemination by users, their popularity continues to increase.

The emergence of Hyperliquid broke the deadlock of "black box listing". Hyperliquid's popularity in the crypto market can be traced back to the rise of HYPE. It took only two weeks for HYPE to enter the top 50 in market value after tge, surpassing new and old projects such as Fantom and Bittensor, and even Arbitrum itself. Although the narrative of Perp DEX is no longer a new narrative, Hyperliquid has successfully focused the market's attention on DEX again.
