Bitcoin Soars to an Unprecedented High of Over $110000

As Bitcoin soared to an unprecedented high of over $110000 today, sending ripples of positive sentiment across the entire cryptocurrency market

As Bitcoin trades above the $110,000 mark today, boosting positive sentiment across the entire cryptocurrency market, HTX, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, is pleased to unveil the 5th Crypto Gem Hunt Report.

The latest report highlights eight tokens that have demonstrated substantial wealth creation across various narratives, including meme coins, Layer 1 solutions, restaking protocols, and data tools. Notably, MOODENG emerged as the top performer, surging by up to 567% as of May 19.

This remarkable performance underscores the platform's belief in selecting high-quality projects and responding swiftly to market shifts to identify and capitalize on the most profitable opportunities.

Meme Coins Continue to Outperform with Explosive Gains Across Chains

Meme coins remain the hottest narrative in crypto, delivering standout returns regardless of their chain origin. Both legacy names and emerging narratives in the Solana and Ethereum ecosystems have posted significant breakouts.

According to HTX data, top Solana meme coins like MOODENG and POPCAT have skyrocketed by 567% and 447%, respectively. MOODENG in particular, saw an impressive rally from 0.036 USDT to 0.24 USDT, showcasing the narrative's resilience.

Newly launched on HTX on April 27, HOUSE, a Solana meme coin, surged 179% shortly after listing, further validating the strength and capital flow into the Solana meme coin space.

On the Ethereum side, NEIROCTO—a meme coin initially listed on HTX on September 7, 2024—recently rallied 400%. Meanwhile, the AI meme coin DARK gained 246%, highlighting the strong appeal of combining AI with the meme coin narrative.

In short, meme coins that combine strong narratives, engaged communities, and cultural virality continue to outperform. As market sentiment recovers, meme coins are often the first to ignite retail enthusiasm, acting as the catalysts for broader market rallies.

A-Rated Infrastructure Projects Earn Their Spot: Restaking, L1, and Data Tools

Besides meme coins, HTX's 5th Crypto Gem list also includes high-quality projects StakeStone (STO), Initia (INIT), and Bubblemaps (BMT), representing the restaking, Layer 1, and data tool sectors, respectively. They were all awarded A ratings by HTX analysts, reflecting their high potential and broad market recognition.

StakeStone has quickly emerged as a star in the restaking space. Unlike PoS staking or existing restaking protocols, StakeStone focuses on cross-chain liquidity infrastructure with efficient liquidity distribution and dynamic yield strategies for ETH, BTC, and stablecoins. Since listing on HTX on April 6, STO has gained 314%, outperforming most restaking peers.

Initia, one of 2025's most anticipated Layer 1 launches, aims to provide modular blockchain services for developers and users. It offers a robust Layer 1 chain and a flexible, interconnected Layer 2 ecosystem. INIT was listed on HTX on April 23 and has rallied 155% to date.

Bubblemaps provides next-gen data visualization tools that bring clarity to complex on-chain relationships. Its innovative data presentation and user-friendly design for DeFi users position it as a differentiated contender in the data infrastructure sector.

HTX Crypto Gem Hunt: High Standards for Project Selection

Since its inception, the HTX Crypto Gem Hunt program has focused on identifying tokens with strong upside potential, leveraging deep analysis across technology, narrative strength, and user experience.

The program has continually selected only the most promising opportunities for user wealth growth by zeroing in on narratives like meme coins, public chains, restaking protocols, AI memes, data tooling, and the Solana ecosystem.

Across its five phases, the program has featured projects that delivered an average return of over 8 times, with seven "super cryptos" achieving more than 10x growth.

The program's first two phases (phase 1 and phase 2) focused on the on-chain meme coin boom. Phase 3 targeted the AI meme coin sector, yielding excellent performance, and phase 4 expanded to sectors including meme coins, Layer 1, and AI-powered social media, achieving consistent results.
