Meme Coins and AI Narratives Drive 30%+ Gains on HTX Across Seven Tokens

From July 28 to August 4, the cryptocurrency market experienced continued volatility with narratives shifting rapidly among meme coins, artificial intelligence (AI), and cross-chain infrastructure themes. HTX, one of the leading global cryptocurrency exchanges, listed several new assets across these sectors, showcasing its ability to identify emerging opportunities and support user participation in evolving market cycles [1].

Meme coins remained a key driver of market activity, with several tokens posting strong returns. VINE surged by 80%, fueled by speculation around the potential revival of the Vine platform by Elon Musk. DONKEY gained 58%, leveraging the popularity of the “I am a donkey” meme linked to Binance founder Changpeng Zhao. MemeCore’s native token M rose by 36%, signaling interest in the development of a dedicated Layer 1 chain for the Meme 2.0 era [1].

Meanwhile, tech-driven narratives attracted capital, particularly in the intersection of AI and privacy. AI Companion (AIC) rose by 43%, capitalizing on the growing demand for AI-driven virtual companions. Top Hat (HAT) increased by 27%, offering users the ability to deploy personalized AI agents with minimal technical barriers. Mind Network’s FHE token, which is focused on fully homomorphic encryption and quantum resistance, grew by 41% [1].

Cross-chain infrastructure and real-world asset (RWA) narratives also saw movement, with Omni Network’s OMNI rising by 44%. The project is building foundational infrastructure for cross-chain interoperability, enabling seamless asset transfers and liquidity across multiple blockchains. Conflux (CFX) rose by 13%, reflecting growing interest in its RWA applications and favorable regulatory environment in China. In contrast, Ethena (ENA) fell by 14% after a prior surge, although it remains a key player in the synthetic dollar and RWA space [1].

HTX’s performance highlights its effectiveness in identifying assets across both short-term and long-term narratives. Seven tokens recorded weekly gains above 30%, spanning meme coins, AI, privacy, cross-chain protocols, and RWA. The HTX Research team continues to balance early-stage narratives with opportunities for longer-term value capture, aligning with the platform’s broader strategy to expand ecosystem coverage and onboard high-quality assets [1].

HTX, founded in 2013, has expanded from a digital asset exchange into a comprehensive blockchain ecosystem. It now operates across multiple business lines, including trading, derivatives, research, and incubation. Committed to global expansion and innovation, HTX emphasizes secure, efficient, and compliant services to support users in navigating the evolving Web3 landscape [1].
