Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins are on the rise again this week due to the economic data released and the fact that the Fed is expected to cut interest rates in its September interest rate decision, which will be announced next week.
While the market direction is currently turned upwards, cryptocurrency analysis company Santiment said in its latest post that investors are showing great interest in altcoins named Game Stop (GME), Linea (LINEA), Solana (SOL), Apecoin (APE), Avalanche (AVAX) and BAKE.
According to social media discussion rates, the most trending altcoins on social media are listed as follows:
Gamestop -GME: GameStop’s special dividend issuance via warrants has been in the news due to extensive discussions surrounding its trading, strike price, maturity, and financial implications for investors. Additionally, GameStop’s strong Q2 2025 earnings report exceeded estimates, along with strategic moves like Bitcoin investments, stock splits, and shareholder dividends, generated positive market reactions and social media buzz.
LINEA: The native token of the Ethereum layer-2 zkEVM network developed by ConsenSys, the Linea token is trending due to its launch and active trading. Discussions include listings on various exchanges such as ProBit Global, CoinEx, Binance, and BitMart, as well as token generation events, large airdrops, trading competitions, staking rewards, and liquidity requirements.
Solana – SOL: Solana is trending because it’s frequently included in the context of liquidity and market capitalization values associated with various crypto tokens on the blockchain. Its use as a liquidity metric (SOL) alongside dollar values demonstrates its importance as a native cryptocurrency token.
Apecoin – APE: It has become trending due to the launch and expansion of ApeCoin on the Solana blockchain and other major ecosystems.
Avalanche – AVAX: Trending on platforms like Reddit due to discussions surrounding other major tokens like XRP and ADA. On Twitter, “avax” stands out for its bullish momentum, breakout price action, and strong technical indicators like ascending triangles and Ichimoku Cloud support.
BAKE: Trending primarily due to significant price increases and sudden increases in trading volume on Binance and other platforms. The token is notable for its rapid price increases ahead of its planned Binance launch on September 17th, leading to intense market volatility and short squeezes.
