[Today's Global Trending Coins] Bitcoin, Arbitrum, Optimism 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 cryptocurrency market), the top five cryptocurrency-related keywords currently attracting the most attention are Bitcoin (BTC), Arbitrum (ARB), Optimism (OP), Binance Coin (BNB), and Solve Protocol (SOLV).

Bitcoin captured investors' attention by surpassing $100,000 today. This marks the first time Bitcoin has exceeded $100,000 in two weeks. The main reason for this upward trend is analyzed to be the U.S. Congress's joint session today, officially certifying President-elect Donald Trump's election victory.

Arbitrum has seen an increase in online mentions, speculated to be due to the recent announcement by the Arbitrum Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) to invest $190 million (approximately 280 billion KRW) in expanding the gaming ecosystem. Arbitrum plans to fund gaming projects starting from the first quarter of this year. Arbitrum's goal is to support a total of 100 gaming projects over the next three years. As of 1:23 PM today, Arbitrum is trading at $1,320.41 on CoinMarketCap, down 3.1% from the previous day.

Optimism is drawing attention due to the scheduled unlock on the 9th. The amount of Optimism to be unlocked this time is 4.47 million. Optimism is currently trading in the low $3,000 range on CoinMarketCap.

Solve Protocol has attracted attention with its recent confirmation of listing on the global cryptocurrency exchange Binance. Ten days ahead of the scheduled listing on the 17th of this month, a Solve Protocol Megadrop was also conducted today. Solve Protocol is building a Bitcoin-centric decentralized finance (DeFi) system as a Bitcoin staking protocol.

Binance Coin appears to have increased online mentions due to the Solve Protocol Megadrop. Participants in the Megadrop can receive Solve Protocol through Binance Coin staking, among other methods.
