Donald Saves Crypto could turn early investors into multi-millionaires, like Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE) did. Donald Saves Crypto (DONALCRY), a new Solana memecoin that was launched today, is set to explode over 18,000% in price in the coming days. This is because DONALCRY is set to soon be listed on numerous crypto exchanges, according to reports. This will give the Solana memecoin exposure to millions of additional investors, who will pour funds into the coin and drive its price up. Currently, Donald Saves Crypto can only be purchased via Solana decentralized exchanges, like Jup.ag and Raydium.io, and early investors stand to make huge returns in the coming days. Early investors in SHIB and DOGE made astronomical returns, and Donald Saves Crypto could become the next viral memecoin. Donald Saves Crypto launched with over $8,000 of liquidity, giving it a unique advantage over the majority of other new memecoins, and early investors could make huge gains. How to Buy To buy Donald Saves Crypto on Raydium.io or Jup.ag ahead of the CEX listings, users need to connect their Solflare, MetaMask or Phantom wallet, and swap Solana for Donald Saves Crypto by entering its contract address – Gyy3ss5Yj2ioZWuz6BNbDPGUGUxhwoCskRuU2cGo9k2Q – in the receiving field. If you don’t have one of these wallets already, you can create a new wallet in a few minutes and transfer some Solana to it (which will then be used to buy the memecoin), from an exchange like Coinbase, Binance and many others. In fact, early investors could make returns similar to those who invested in Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE) before these memecoins went viral and exploded in price. If this happens, a new wave of memecoin millionaires could be created in a matter of weeks – or potentially even sooner. The Solana memecoin craze continues amid larger memecoins, like Shiba Inu (SHIB), Dogecoin (DOGE) and DogWifHat (WIF) trading sideways in recent weeks and losing momentum. This is why many SHIB, DOGE and WIF investors are instead investing in new Solana memecoins, like DONALCRY. Such memecoins have no utility and no inherent value, but investors looking for high gains have been investing in them due to their potential to rapidly rise in price.

Web3 is drowning in metrics, most of which paint an unclear picture. Transaction volumes, token prices and flashy headlines often mask what really matters: the quality of user engagement and the potential for organic, exponential growth. As the industry moves beyond the hype, reliable, data-driven signals of success are no longer optional — they’re essential. Here’s the good news: the tools to cut through the noise already exist. By combining multiple on-chain metrics into a single “health index” score indicating the depth and quality of overall user engagement, we can identify which chains are truly thriving and poised for long-term growth. With 2024 coming to a close, let’s dig into what these signals reveal about today’s leading chains, and what we can expect in 2025. Assessing user quality using aggregated, not isolated, data When creating a sustainable on-chain ecosystem, it doesn’t make sense to optimize any single user action. What’s needed is context — a way to quantify not just everything users are doing, but how and why it matters. One promising approach to achieve this is to aggregate user behaviors into five core categories: Transaction Activity, ranging from spot trades to smart contract interactions. Token Accumulation in the medium-to-long-term, and other “investment” behaviors. DeFi Engagement for activities like staking, lending and liquidity provision. NFT Activity such as minting, trading and utility-driven interactions. Governance Participation to quantify DAO or protocol governance contributions. Crucially, these metrics should not be treated equally. A better approach is to weigh and combine them using a Bayesian model to generate a single top-line “score.” Unlike traditional scoring systems that rely on static thresholds or simple averages, this lets us incorporate both prior knowledge (what we expect from an “average” wallet) and new evidence (actual activity observed on-chain). These dynamic, multi-variate scores are much harder to game and therefore more likely to reveal accurate, actionable insights. What the data tells us about 2024 The above approach provides a fresh perspective on each chain’s user activity through 2024. Let’s zoom in on some of the more surprising findings. Solana (the top light blue line that peaks at ~2.75) attracted a huge share of high-quality users between February and mid-March, but engagement quality has fallen since. Interestingly, this downslide coincided with SOL’s first price and trading volume spike of 2024, and has continued through the current memecoin mania. Repetitive actions have diminishing returns when assessed using a Bayesian model, meaning multiple token swaps yield smaller score improvements than engagement across multiple types of activities, for any given wallet. This suggests most Solana users are currently engaged in a narrow range of on-chain activities that aren’t contributing to Solana’s multi-sector growth. As for Ethereum supporters (the bottom orange line that begins at just above 1) who expected this year’s ETH ETFs to be a game-changer, the numbers paint a different picture. Ethereum’s low and stable user score through H1 2024 suggests that this year’s bullish developments did not spur broader ecosystem participation such as DeFi activity and protocol governance. It’s also worth noting that Axelar (the dark blue line that begins at 2.5) had the most active users across the broadest range of on-chain activities relative to its total user base, according to the data. While Axelar is currently much smaller by TVL than the legacy chains dominating today’s headlines, this is an intriguing signal that warrants closer inspection — and would have been missed if we were looking at market cap or trading volume alone. The takeaway here isn’t that Solana is doomed and Axelar will inevitably become the world’s biggest chain. There is limited value in comparing these types of scores across chains, since each score is proportional to the user quality of its corresponding chain. In other words, a Solana user with a score of “4” may be very different from a “4” on Axelar, given the differences in each chain’s baseline activity. As such, these scores are most useful when tracking changes in the quality of a chain’s overall user activity over time, not cross-chain comparisons. Predictions for 2025 With that said, what does each chain’s user quality track record tell us about next year? For starters, it’s clear that Solana faces significant challenges and opportunities entering 2025. The chain’s trajectory depends on its ability to retain its massive casual user base and expand their range of on-chain interactions. Failure to do so could result in a significant slump once memecoins cool off — although data from early 2024 suggests the chain has a large contingent of quality users that will endure regardless of what happens short-term. 2024 demonstrated Axelar’s ability to attract a concentrated user base engaged in diverse, sustained on-chain activities, rather than speculative surges. Now, Axelar’s challenge will be upscaling its ecosystem without diluting the quality of its user base. This may involve prioritizing high-profile partnerships to unlock new audiences while creating more newbie-friendly onramps across its dApp ecosystem. Ethereum’s fragmentation has shifted many active users to its faster, cheaper L2 ecosystem, and so we may see mainnet activity increasingly consolidate around core features protocol staking and governance. These activities are critical for the broader EVM ecosystem, but this trajectory may be penalized by scoring systems that reward diverse on-chain engagement. This dynamic underscores a challenge for scoring systems: prioritizing wide-ranging user activity can present an incomplete picture when applied to task-specific networks (or general purpose chains that are evolving into something more specialized). As a result, it’s important to clearly define what success means for whatever chain is being evaluated and use a scoring system that captures the corresponding user actions. A better way to define, and drive, on-chain growth Web3 has spent too long chasing the wrong metrics and failing to view the data in aggregate. In 2025, the winners will be those who find multivariate ways to measure — and act on — what matters most: user quality. By incorporating new scoring methods into their dashboards, on-chain intelligence platforms can provide more meaningful insights to investors and industry observers. At the same time, Web3 builders can use these scores to clarify top priorities and drive user engagement and value creation. Ultimately, this will help the entire industry shift away from hype-driven narratives to data-backed strategies that unlock the full potential of Web3 in 2025 and beyond.
On Monday, Bitcoin treasury company MicroStrategy announced that it had spent roughly $561 million to acquire additional Bitcoin as it remains uber-bullish on the world’s largest and oldest cryptocurrency. This marks its seventh consecutive week of Bitcoin purchases . The purchase comes as MicroStrategy officially begins trading as a member of the Nasdaq-100 equity index. MicroStrategy Buys More Bitcoin At An Average Price Of $106K According to a Monday announcement , MicroStrategy purchased 5,262 Bitcoin between December 16 and December 22 and now holds 444,262 BTC in total, valued at over $41 billion as of press time. MicroStrategy bought its latest Bitcoin at an average price of $106,662 per coin — the highest cost the firm has ever paid per BTC. The latest purchase contributes to the firm’s outstanding Bitcoin yield of 47.4% quarter-to-date and 73.7% year-to-date, raising the average cost to $62,257 per Bitcoin. MicroStrategy has acquired 5,262 BTC for ~$561 million at ~$106,662 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 47.4% QTD and 73.7% YTD. As of 12/22/2024, we hodl 444,262 $BTC acquired for ~$27.7 billion at ~$62,257 per bitcoin. $MSTR https://t.co/asDGerBV7q — Michael Saylor (@saylor) December 23, 2024 According to a Monday SEC filing, the Tysons, Virginia-based company financed its Bitcoin purchase by selling shares of its stock. Last week, MicroStrategy sold 1.3 million shares, generating roughly $561 million in net proceeds. While MicroStrategy has been snapping up the apex crypto since 2020, Monday’s announcement came at a historic time for the Michael Saylor-founded company. MicroStrategy was added to the Nasdaq-100 index earlier this month. MicroStrategy’s shares officially started trading as part of the index on December 23. The listing is bullish for the crypto industry as it indicates more mainstream acceptance of the fast-growing sector. Back in October, MicroStrategy announced plans to raise $42 billion in capital to support further Bitcoin purchases as part of its treasury reserve strategy. As of December 22, the firm revealed it had about $7 billion worth of shares still available for sale as part of its planned $21 billion equity offering and $21 billion in fixed-income securities. Bitcoin Price Action MicroStrategy’s latest BTC purchase aligns with Michael Saylor’s pledge earlier this month to continue scooping up BTC even at peak prices. “I’m sure that I will be buying Bitcoin at $1 million a coin — probably $1 billion dollars a day of Bitcoin at $1 million a coin,” Saylor posited. However, the price of BTC has plummeted by around 13.7% over the last six days since hitting a new record high mark above $108,000. The correction came after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank would reduce interest rates at a slower pace in 2025. Powell also clarified that the Fed was “not allowed to own Bitcoin” and “not looking for a law change.” The top crypto was changing hands for $93,458 as of publication time, representing a 2.3% drop on the day.

Dogecoin (DOGE) has faced significant volatility, with the price plunging 45% from its multi-year high of $0.48. Despite the sharp correction, DOGE has managed to hold above the critical $0.30 level, providing hope for a potential rebound. This level now serves as a vital support zone as bulls aim to reclaim momentum. Related Reading: Ethereum Whales Bought $1 Billion ETH In The Past 96 Hours – Details Top analyst Ali Martinez has drawn attention to an intriguing comparison on X, highlighting similarities between Dogecoin’s current price behavior and its performance in 2017. According to Martinez, DOGE’s historical patterns suggest that periods of sharp corrections have often preceded explosive parabolic rallies. If history repeats itself, Dogecoin could be gearing up for another meteoric rise. Market sentiment remains a mix of caution and optimism as traders monitor whether DOGE can maintain support and establish a foundation for upward momentum. The comparison to 2017 adds weight to the bullish case, as Dogecoin is well-known for its rapid and unpredictable price surges. 2017 vs 2025: What To Expect? Dogecoin (DOGE) appears to be mirroring its historical price patterns, setting the stage for a potential parabolic rally in 2024. According to top analyst Ali Martinez, who shared a detailed technical analysis on X, Dogecoin’s current price structure closely resembles its behavior during previous bull runs in 2017 and 2021. This comparison has sparked excitement among investors anticipating a massive breakout. In 2017, Dogecoin experienced a 212% surge, followed by a 40% retracement before skyrocketing 5,000%. Similarly, in 2021, DOGE surged 476%, retraced 56%, and then achieved an astonishing 12,000% rally. Now, in 2024, Dogecoin has already climbed 440% and retraced by 46%. Martinez notes that if history repeats itself, DOGE could be gearing up for another explosive rally, potentially breaking its all-time highs and entering price discovery. Such a pattern indicates that Dogecoin may deliver gains far beyond current expectations. A move into price discovery could propel DOGE to unprecedented levels, driven by renewed investor enthusiasm and FOMO (fear of missing out) as it regains momentum. Related Reading: Bitcoin Will Test ATH Once It Breaks This Strong Supply Zone – Details While past performance doesn’t guarantee future results, Dogecoin’s ability to replicate its historic cycles makes it one of the most closely watched cryptocurrencies. If the meme-inspired coin follows its established trend, 2024 could mark another defining chapter in Dogecoin’s journey. Dogecoin Testing Crucial Demand Dogecoin (DOGE) is currently trading at $0.31 after enduring days of significant volatility and uncertainty. The recent rebound from the $0.26 low has provided a much-needed boost to investor confidence, suggesting that DOGE’s price may have found solid footing to build further momentum. This quick recovery indicates underlying strength, raising hopes for continued upward movement. However, the $0.31 level remains a critical barrier for Dogecoin. If the price fails to reclaim and hold this level as support, it could result in a period of sideways consolidation, potentially delaying any meaningful recovery. Such a consolidation phase would likely keep DOGE range-bound, frustrating traders looking for clearer signals of direction.
