Decrypt: Altcoin Season? HYPE, TAO, RUNNIT Dominate Social Buzz and Trading Volumes
London, June 18, 2025 — The altcoin market is alive with speculation as tokens like $HYPE, $TAO, and $RUNNIT surge in both price and popularity. Social media platforms, particularly X, are abuzz with mentions of these community-driven coins, signaling the possible start of a new “altcoin season.”
DeFi and AI Drive HYPE and TAO
$HYPE and $TAO are attracting attention for their innovative use cases in decentralized finance (DeFi) and artificial intelligence (AI). “Investors are hungry for the next big thing beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum,” said Emily Carter, DeFi analyst at Messari. “Projects that combine AI and DeFi are especially hot right now.”
RUNNIT Gains Traction on BelieveApp
Meanwhile, $RUNNIT has seen explosive growth on platforms like BelieveApp, where community engagement and speculative trading are driving short-term price pumps. However, experts caution that these small-cap tokens are highly volatile and prone to rapid corrections.
