[Today's Global Trending Coins] Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB and More

According to the top gainers on the AI-based Web3 search platform Kaito's Token Mindshare (a metric quantifying the influence of specific tokens in the crypto market), the top five cryptocurrencies currently attracting the most attention are Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), BNB, Mira, and Moodeng.

The cryptocurrency garnering the most interest today is Bitcoin. Bitcoin has surged over 130% this year, surpassing the $100,000 mark. As of the 17th, Bitcoin reached a record high, exceeding $108,300, but has since reversed into a downtrend, giving back some of its gains. Currently, Bitcoin is fluctuating around the $96,000 level.

Industry analysts suggest that Bitcoin may undergo a short-term correction. Bloomberg noted, "Bitcoin's price is expected to record a monthly decline for the first time in four months," adding, "There is no clear rebound momentum." Renowned analyst Jason Pizzino also predicted that "the Bitcoin bull market is nearing its end," indicating a potential correction.

The second most popular cryptocurrency is Ethereum. Compared to Bitcoin, Ethereum has shown relatively poor annual returns. However, the outlook for Ethereum next year is bright. Industry experts view Ethereum as the cryptocurrency poised to benefit the most in 2025. Decentralized prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi are also strongly forecasting Ethereum to reach new all-time highs next year. Today, Ethereum is trading at around $3,370, down 1.7% from the previous day.

BNB is also attracting significant attention. This is attributed to its increasing mainstream adoption, such as its addition to the portfolio of fintech giant Revolut. Currently, BNB is hovering around $690, down about 2%.

The meme coin Moodeng is also drawing much attention, thanks to a donation by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. Previously, Vitalik donated 88 Ethereum to the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand, where the real-life model for Moodeng, a hippopotamus named Moodeng, resides. Following this, Moodeng's value skyrocketed by over 70%.

Additionally, investors are also interested in Mira, Solana (SOL), Tether (USDT), and Arbitrum (ARB).
