10. "Meme Hype is Back, What is the Community Playing This Time?" by WOO

The cryptocurrency market faced a rocky start in early September, but with expectations of a significant interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve and CZ's return, the market gradually rebounded, and sentiment became increasingly optimistic. In the absence of mainstream narratives, the hype around Meme tokens remains a focal point, and Ethereum's mainnet GAS fees have also surged. Additionally, the new public blockchain Sui and its ecosystem have performed impressively. As the global economy stabilizes and recovers, the market may welcome a "main uptrend" as it enters the fourth quarter.

For deep-thinking market, industry, and crypto track analysts, as well as authors skilled in writing about trending events, emerging projects, in-depth research reports, and track observations, the platform will provide various exposure opportunities such as homepage recommendations, pinning, and APP push notifications. The October dual lists will be announced around November 5, 2024, and we look forward to seeing more new faces.
