Euro Liquidity Boost, AI Rebounds, Memes Break Out
Global markets are bouncing again — and this time, Eurozone monetary expansion is fueling the fire. Euro Area M2 hit a record high of €15.74 trillion in May, marking a 3.55% year-over-year surge. This expansion mirrors the US trajectory, adding global liquidity and setting the stage for crypto upside.
Bitcoin now hovers near $110K, Ethereum is pushing higher, and institutional adoption continues accelerating.
In crypto, DeFi continues its slow grind up, AI shows signs of life, and memecoins are back in rotation. Let’s break it all down.
1. Decentralized Finance (DeFi)
● Market Cap: ~$115B
● 7-Day Performance: +2.8%
● TVL: $116bn
DeFi posted a modest rebound this week as investor appetite returns for yield-backed narratives.
Ethereum-based stablecoin usage hit a record 750K weekly users, and tokenized gold volume spiked to $895M — led by PAXG and XAUT.
EigenLayer launched EigenCloud, bringing verifiability to off-chain apps.
Meanwhile, Aave’s expansion to Aptos marks its first non-EVM move, and its EURC collateral plan plus GHO launch on Avalanche via CCIP signals cross-chain ambitions.
Top Gainers:
● DeepBook (DEEP): +19.9%
● Jupiter (JUP): +16.7%
● dYdX (DYDX): +15.3%
From tokenized gold to stablecoin adoption, capital is flowing back into DeFi infrastructure. The narrative of real yield and token utility is strengthening.
2. Memecoins
● Market Cap: ~$59.6B
● 7-Day Performance: +6.0%
Memes bounced hard this week — led by a surprise ETF filing for PENGU, renewed SHIB whale activity, and new listings like Magacoin Finance drawing political hype. The sector’s volume surged to over $10.4B as retail traders dove back in.
PENGU spiked over 64% after a Canary ETF filing targeting Pudgy Penguin tokens and NFTs. SHIB burn rate exploded +12,833%, while whales moved 10.4T tokens.
PEPE also shows signs of a breakout with rising whale holdings and $540M in open interest.
Top Gainers:
● Useless Coin (USELESS): +85.5%
● Pudgy Penguins (PENGU): +71.8%
● LaunchCoin (LAUNCHCOIN): +37.8%
From ETF buzz to whale accumulation, memecoins are regaining serious traction — driven by liquidity, hype, and high-risk appetite.
3. Artificial Intelligence (AI)
● Market Cap: ~$25.6B
● 7-Day Performance: +6.4%
Despite the Musk–Trump feud dragging sentiment, Sahara AI dominated headlines, soaring 40,000% post-listing before cooling off.
Meanwhile, Bittensor (TAO) integrated Stripe for fiat payments,
NEAR proposed halving token inflation, and Aethir–Pendle launched GPU-powered DeFi pools. Akash Network hit $1M revenue and 50%+ GPU growth.
Top Gainers:
● REI: +35.9%
● ai16z (AI16Z): +20.8%
● SQD: +20.0%
AI sector is stabilizing with infrastructure-focused tokens rebounding. Real-world integrations, exchange listings, and novel staking models are leading the charge.
Sector Summary
Euro liquidity is reviving risk appetite — and crypto sectors are reacting. DeFi continues building fundamentals, Memecoins return with high-octane momentum, and AI claws back from recent lows. Rotation is real — and narratives are maturing.
