Recent data from cryptocurrency platforms reveals a distinct shift in investor attention toward low-market-cap memecoins and artificial intelligence-focused projects. According to CoinGecko, the most searched altcoins in the last three hours show an unusual pattern: speculative tokens with tiny market capitalizations are capturing the spotlight.
Leading the list, Solayer (LAYER) recorded a 55.8% gain in 24 hours with a market cap of just $30.08 million. The meme token TROLL followed, surging 76.4% while boasting a $91.23 million market cap. Billions Network (BILL) climbed 17.6% to $265.14 million. Other notable mentions included Wojak (WOJAK) at $37.05 million, along with larger names like Zcash (ZEC) and Solana (SOL), though the standout activity centered on the low-cap and AI segments.
Simultaneously, South Korean exchanges Upbit and Bithumb reported a surge in trading volumes for similar categories. Solayer (LAYER) again dominated, generating $165 million in combined volume across the two exchanges. Other top performers included XRP ($109 million), Sui (SUI) ($97 million), and the AI token Sahara AI (SAHARA) ($78 million). This convergence of search interest and actual trading volume underscores the current appetite for high-risk, niche narratives in the altcoin market.
