Recently, looking at the price charts, PEPE has shown some interesting movements. This meme coin is hovering around $0.00, not at its previous peak but has increased by +0.68% over the past 24 hours, with a trading volume of approximately $3.20M. The good thing is that GUN is also performing well, currently at $0.02 with a +3.27% daily increase, and CVX is up +0.92% at $1.75. Overall, the altcoin market is showing positive signals.

Bitcoin is currently around $67.66K, after correcting from previous highs. This creates space for altcoins to move, with tokens like SOL, IMX, and FIL still oscillating, but demand on Layer 1 chains remains quite strong. The transaction fee on Solana has dropped to $0.00025, stimulating DEX activity, with trading volumes continuously hitting new records.

What I notice is that PEPE and other meme coins are attracting both retail and institutional investors. The holding ratio of PEPE on trading platforms has exceeded 8%, and the number of unsettled contracts has increased by 82%, indicating that market sentiment is shifting from fear to greed.

But caution is necessary, as not all coins have the same opportunity. Blue-chip altcoins with solid fundamentals, public chain tokens with complete ecosystems, and high-quality meme coins like PEPE and GUN are the top choices. Purely speculative tokens still carry risks. It’s important to allocate investments wisely, focusing on top DeFi projects, public chains with high TPS, and avoiding FOMO at high prices.

Bitcoin remains steady, but the real story is in the new altcoins. 2026 is not about the rise of a single currency but about thousands of coins breaking out together. Are you ready?
