Small tokens surge by 5000%, while mainstream coins are declining—The new narrative of the 2025 crypto market

【Crypto World】The crypto market in 2025 is truly a tale of two extremes. Look at those lesser-known coins, their gains are astonishing—PIPPIN in the Solana ecosystem became popular due to a viral AI image, soaring 5384% in a year, reaching a high of $0.6109. There’s also AB, which supports the modular blockchain ecosystem, with a surge of 2716%.On the other hand, the leading assets are struggling. Bitcoin has fallen 4.59% this year, and Dogecoin has been cut in half since the beginning of the year, with a decline of 60%. This stark contrast is quite eye-catching—small coins are creating wealth myths wildly, while mainstream coins are shrinking. The market is telling a very clear story: hot spots rotate, opportunities shift, whoever catches the new trend will profit.

【币界】2025年的加密市场真的是冰火两重天。你看那些知名度不高的币种，涨幅却骇人听闻——Solana生态的PIPPIN因为一张火爆AI图片带火了整个话题，一年涨了5384%，最高冲到0.6109美元。还有为模块化区块链生态做支撑的AB，也暴涨2716%。

反过来看头部资产就惨了。比特币今年跌了4.59%，狗狗币从年初到现在直接腰斩，跌幅高达60%。这种反差确实扎眼——小币种在疯狂创造财富神话，主流币反而在缩水。市场在讲一个很清楚的故事：热点轮换，机会转移，谁能踩中新的风口谁就赚。

SOL1.56%

PIPPIN-13.1%

AB-0.64%

BTC0.87%

Dogecoin has been cut in half, and you're still holding onto mainstream coins? Wake up, small-cap coins are this year's ATM.

It's the same narrative again, small coins surge by 5000%, mainstream coins keep falling, sounds like a huge opportunity right? But honestly, behind these numbers it's basically a game of hot potato, whoever ends up holding the bag last will be the one crying. I've said it before, chasing hot topics is a sure way to die, PIPPIN doubled just because of a single picture? Isn't that just gambling, buddy? On the other hand, BTC Dogecoin fell, and I feel more at ease. Wait, are you trying to cut me like a leek? Uh, are small coins really that tempting? Feels like all traps. The ones that can make steady money are the ones no one is trading, just shows how rotten this market is. Bitcoin drops 4% and it hurts so much, even if small coins rise a lot, I dare not move.

Oh my, this is the modern version of the Tulip Bubble. The supply and demand curve is completely out of control... An AI-generated image can trigger a 5000% surge, what does that say? It indicates that the market's aesthetic appreciation is declining exponentially. The madness of small-cap coins is like the Pop Art movement—on the surface creating wealth myths, but in reality perfectly illustrating the philosophy of a bear market—who would go all in on a story with no bottom line? (I would) Is it even worth mentioning that Bitcoin dropped 4.59%? While the big players are shrinking, the retail investors have already started hyping the next PIPPIN. Even Buffett would be speechless... But honestly, this rotation of hot topics does have a solid logic—looking at the supply and demand curve, retail investors' FOMO is the most perfect price discovery mechanism. Whether it makes money or not is another story; at least it honestly reflects how absurd this market really is.
