[Today's Global Trending Coins] Solana, AIXBT, FTT, Ripple, and More

According to the top gainers in Token Mindshare (a metric quantifying the influence of specific tokens in the crypto market) by the AI-based Web3 search platform Kaito, the top five cryptocurrencies that are currently attracting the most attention are Solana (SOL), AIXBT, FTT, Ripple, and Backpack.

Solana ranks first. It is speculated that the interest has grown as Sol Strategy, a Canada-based investment firm specializing in Solana, successfully raised funds. On this day, Sol Strategy announced that it had raised $25 million to revitalize the Solana ecosystem. The funds are reportedly intended for purchasing Solana tokens and providing liquidity to projects within the Solana ecosystem.

AIXBT ranks second. The AI agent AIXBT from Virtual Protocol successfully listed on the cryptocurrency exchange Bybit the previous day, attracting investor interest. However, a selling spree occurred immediately after the listing, and as of 1:02 PM today, AIXBT has plummeted by 15.77% compared to the previous day, recording $0.4546.

FTT ranks third. Interest in FTT naturally increased as Backpack, which ranked fifth in interest, made a surprise acquisition of the European branch of the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX. FTX EU, acquired by Backpack, holds the 'MiFID II License' in the EU. Backpack plans to provide safe and compliant trading solutions across Europe based on this. Currently, Backpack aims to complete the reactivation of the MiFID II License and offer services in Europe within the first quarter of this year.

Lastly, Ripple ranks fourth. Investors are showing great interest as it was revealed that Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse attended a meeting with President-elect Donald Trump.
