A stranger wearing a black beanie jumped the fence at Khao Kheow Zoo on Tuesday to get a photo with Moo Deng, sending shockwaves through social media and a momentary flash crash through the MOODENG Solana charts.
While the real-world pigmy hippo was reportedly unharmed, the token price reacted positively, spiking +3% toward $0.057 before colliding with a massive, aggressive buy wall.

It is the first time the viral hippo meme coin has been in the news for some time, but the attention could act as a springboard for MOODENG and the broader meme space.
Today (March 18), the meme coin market cap is down -1% on the day, sitting at $35.8Bn, and trading volume over the past 24 hours is $3.4Bn.

MOODENG Price Analysis: $0.06 Breakout or $0.04 Trapdoor? The Crypto Market Analysis for viral tokens often defers to social sentiment over technicals, but MOODENG is currently respecting a strict technical range. Following the news of the zoo intrusion, the token spiked a local high of $0.0582.
That level is not random. It represents a critical line in the sand where sellers have stepped in twice this month to push the price back down. The immediate retracement back to the $0.057 range suggests that the dip was bought up by whales faster than the news could spread.
However, the bulls are not out of the woods. The token is now trapped below a “boss fight” resistance level at $0.0585. This price point has repeatedly rejected advances, acting as a ceiling for the recovery.

For a bullish reversal to be confirmed, we need to see a daily candle close above $0.058 with strong volume. Until that ceiling breaks, the price action is simply noise within a consolidation channel.
The bear case is the ugly side of this trade. If the hype from the Khao Kheow Zoo incident fades and volume dries up, the $0.055 support level becomes vulnerable.
Losing $0.055 opens a trapdoor directly to the $0.045 region, a drop that would wipe out months of accumulation. As seen with other Pump.fun graduates, liquidity can evaporate quickly when key support levels fail.
Volume data confirms the tension. During the dip, trading volume spiked to over $48M, indicating that this wasn’t just retail panic; it was a high-stakes battle between liquidation bots and opportunistic buyers.

Meme Coin Sector Lagging With Moo Deng an Outlier The broader meme coin sector isn’t enjoying a green day like MOODENG, with the combined meme market cap down -1% on the day, dropping to $35.8Bn.
For the large caps, PUMP and PENGU are in the green, with +1.5% and +1.8% pumps, respectively. However, the real leader is Memecore (M), up +9% on the day as it continues its ascent on the back of a +45% monthly pump.
PEPE and TRUMP are the worst performers among the major meme coins. PEPE is down -3.4% on the day, while TRUMP is down -1.2% in the same timeframe.
Whether or not Moo Deng can maintain its bullish price action on the back of the zoo kidnapping scare, the market needs a liquidity injection across the board before anyone can claim meme coins szn is back.

A man has been fined $300 (£223) by a Thai court after breaking into the enclosure of Moo Deng, an endangered baby pygmy hippo and internet sensation, the zoo's director said.
Narongwit Chodchoy, who runs Khao Kheow Open Zoo, told AFP that the man, who entered Moo Deng's pen last month, had been found guilty by a local court.
Footage released by local media showed a man inside the enclosure, recording Moo Deng with a tablet.
The zoo, which is about two hours drive from Bangkok, said that the pygmy hippo -who went viral in 2024 after the zoo shared videos of her antics on social media - was unharmed but "slightly startled".

The zoo's director said the court decision "shows that no one can violate animals' rights, no matter whether they are in an enclosure or in the wild".
He told AFP: "We train staff on what to do if any animals escape, but from now on, we will have to train them on what to do if there are any intruders.
"We learned from this lesson and will not allow it to happen again - not to Moo Deng and not to other animals in the zoo."
The man who broke into Moo Deng's enclosure was fined 10,000 baht ($300), and the incident has resulted in the zoo increasing security patrols, Chodchoy said.
Moo Deng - whose name roughly translates to "bouncy pig" - became an internet sensation in 2024 shortly after her birth that July.
Videos of the hippo went viral, memes were created, and visitor numbers at the zoo increased hugely as thousands flocked each weekend to catch a glimpse of Moo Deng.
A range of merchandise was even created, with fans of the pygmy hippo able to buy Moo Deng-inspired clothes.
BANGKOK - A Thai court has fined a man 10,000 baht (S$400) after he broke into the enclosure of Moo Deng, an endangered baby pygmy hippo and internet sensation, the zoo director said on April 8.
Moo Deng – whose name translates as “bouncy pork” – has gained global attention, thanks to social media videos showing her adorable antics, drawing tens of thousands of visitors and boosting zoo ticket sales.
In March, a Thai man unlawfully entered Moo Deng’s pen, which also houses her mother, at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo about a two-hour drive from the capital Bangkok.
Footage of the close encounter released by local media showed a man inside the enclosure, recording Moo Deng with a tablet.
Khao Kheow Open Zoo said at the time that Moo Deng was unharmed but “slightly startled”, and it would pursue legal action against the intruder.
On April 8, zoo director Narongwit Chodchoy told AFP that a state prosecutor had informed him that the man was found guilty by a local court after his confession and fined 10,000 baht (S$400).
AFP could not immediately reach a court official for comment.
“The decision shows that no one can violate animals’ rights, no matter whether they are in an enclosure or in the wild,” Mr Narongwit said.
Since the incident in March, he said no similar security breaches had occurred and the zoo had increased security patrols to deter would-be intruders.
“We train staff on what to do if any animals escape, but from now on, we will have to train them on what to do if there are any intruders,” Mr Narongwit said.
“We learnt from this lesson and will not allow it to happen again – not to Moo Deng and not to other animals in the zoo.”
The pygmy hippo calf, which marked its first birthday in July, has inspired merchandise and memes since first going viral online in 2024. AFP
In brief Moo Deng (MOODENG) is up more than 6% in the last 24 hours amid news a man was fined for entering the hippo's quarters. The token's jump is outpacing other meme coins as the broader crypto market moves higher. Nevertheless, the Solana-based MOODENG remains nearly 93% off its all-time high. The Solana meme coin inspired by viral pygmy hippo Moo Deng (MOODENG) is up 6.5% in the last 24 hours amid news that a man that intruded on the animal’s enclosure has been fined for the act.
The man, who was reportedly fined $300 for unlawfully entering the area, was found guilty by a local Thai court after being arrested in March.
In a video shared following the arrest, a male can be seen hopping a fence at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo when no staff were around Moo Deng’s quarters. He holds what appears to be an iPad or a similar tablet in hand, before approaching Moo Deng while recording a video.
The stunt has led to increased security measures at the zoo according to its director Narongwit Chodchoy, who told AFP that it will “have to train [staff] on what to do if there are any intruders.”
"We learned from this lesson and will not allow it to happen again—not to Moo Deng and not to other animals in the zoo," he said. The viral pygmy hippo was not harmed during the stunt, but was “slightly startled” according to the report.
Moo Deng rose to popularity in early 2024, quickly becoming a viral sensation on social media for its playful antics. Around that time, a meme coin celebrating the hippo was launched via popular token launchpad Pump.fun, and shortly thereafter gained traction.
In November of that year, the token surged to an all-time high around $0.68, or about a $680 million market cap. While the high was short-lived, the token maintained relevancy for a while longer, ultimately earning listings from all the major centralized exchanges, including Coinbase, which spiked the token price by 80% in December of that year.
Since that time, though, it’s largely been stuck in a downward spiral, recently changing hands around $0.048, or about a $48 million market cap—nearly 93% off its all-time high. Mainstream media attention, like the recent report from the AFP, typically provide a burst of life to meme coins, which are tokens that are often based on popular culture and events and have no real utility.
For example, the price of MOODENG surged around 33% when the zoo announced plans for a first birthday party last July.
However, the token’s latest surge also comes amid improving macroeconomic conditions, highlighted by the late Tuesday conditional ceasefire in Iran, avoiding a potentially massive attack teased by U.S. President Donald Trump. Since that time, all crypto assets have surged, led by Bitcoin and Ethereum jumping 4.2% and 6.3% respectively in the last day.
Meme coins as a whole have underperformed the majors, though, jumping just 3.6% in the last 24 hours according to CoinGecko.

A Thai court has fined a man £233 after he entered the enclosure housing viral pygmy hippo Moo Deng.
The incident took place on 17 March 2026, when the man climbed over a barrier into the enclosure shared by Moo Deng and her mother at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand’s Chonburi.
According to director Narongwit Chodchoy, the Thai national entered the enclosure while a keeper was absent and no other visitors were present. He stayed inside for around two minutes before staff noticed him. Chodchoy said that the individual did not attempt to flee as the zoo contacted police.
Security footage that has been widely circulated online shows a man in a black beanie, sunglasses, green tank top, and brown shorts approaching Moo Deng and her mother, Jona, while holding a tablet, seemingly recording.
At the time, the zoo said on their official Facebook page that while Moo Deng and Jona were unharmed, they had been “slightly startled” by the encounter and were under veterinary observation.
The man was charged with trespassing, and later released on bail.
The zoo confirmed on their Facebook page that the man had been found guilty by the Chonburi provincial court and fined 10,000 baht (£232.7). They also reiterated the zoo’s rules, reminding visitors that “climbing or entering the animal enclosures” is forbidden.

The zoo said that while Moo Deng and Jona were unharmed, they had been ‘slightly startled’ (One Planet/YouTube)“Together, take care of the welfare of wild animals to ensure that Moo Deng and all animals are happy and safe. Enjoy the cuteness from a distance, respect the rules,” the statement read.
The Khao Kheow Open Zoo, located around 100km southeast of Bangkok, spans nearly 2,000 acres and houses over 2,000 animals.
Since the incident, Chodchoy told AFP that the zoo had “increased security patrols to deter would-be intruders”.
“We train staff on what to do if any animals escape, but from now on, we will have to train them on what to do if there are any intruders.”
On the verdict, he said: “The decision shows that no one can violate animals' rights, no matter whether they are in an enclosure or in the wild. We learned from this lesson and will not allow it to happen again – not to Moo Deng and not to other animals in the zoo.”
Moo Deng, whose name comes from the Thai word for ‘bouncy pork,’ was born in 2024 at Khao Kheow Open Zoo (Getty Images)Moo Deng, whose name comes from the Thai word for “bouncy pork,” was born in 2024 at Khao Kheow Open Zoo. She became a global internet sensation within weeks of her birth after videos of her biting at her keeper, slipping while being hosed down, and trailing closely behind her mother went viral on social media and drew millions of views.
Her popularity quickly spilled offline, inspiring themed cakes across Thailand and even a Sephora Thailand campaign encouraging users to “wear your blush like a baby hippo”.
On peak days, more than 12,000 people visited the zoo to see her, prompting authorities to introduce time limits for visitors and increase crowd management measures. Some visitors had been caught throwing water and other objects at the baby hippo to get her to react, causing the zoo director to threaten legal action and install surveillance cameras.
Neiro has a bullish outlook for the coming weeks after defending a key retracement level as support. Buying pressure was evident on the lower timeframe charts, which was a bullish sign. Neiro [NEIRO] saw a large whale withdrawing tokens toward the end of May, boosting bullish belief in the meme coin. This came at a time when the token was trading at the $0.0004 demand zone.
In the past few days, possibly buoyed by Bitcoin’s [BTC] surge to $110.5k, Neiro advanced past local resistance levels around $0.00048.
Sustained Neiro demand would be crucial for continued gains Source: NEIRO/USDT on TradingView Neiro regained its bullish momentum, evidenced by the RSI’s move back above the neutral 50 mark. The 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level was tested as support on the 6th of June, and NEIRO bulls responded well.
The 20 and 50-day moving averages also indicated a bullish bias on the 1-day timeframe. Crucially, the 50 DMA coincided with the 61.8% level at $0.000393, making the bullish reaction more meaningful.
Since that retest, the meme coin was up by 31% in three days. NEIRO also managed to climb above the local resistance at $0.00047, which had been an obstacle last week.
Now that the price was above the 20 DMA, further gains appeared even more likely. The OBV, which did not sink deeply over the past month, has begun to move higher.
Another uptrend on the OBV, which has not yet materialized, will signal steady buying volume behind Neiro.
Source: NEIRO/USDT on TradingView The 2-hour chart showed firm bullish conviction in the short-term. The $0.000487 resistance had been a resistance from late May, and the bulls breached it in the past few hours. The OBV shot higher over the past couple of days.
The RSI was at 80, which signaled the market might be overextended. This could see a minor price dip, potentially a retest of the $0.000487 support. If such a dip occurs, traders can look to enter long positions on the meme coin.

The crypto market isn’t slowing down—if anything, it’s heating up fast. June’s wild headlines prove it. Meme coins are back in full swing, fueled by fresh narratives and massive inflows. Case in point? Donald Trump’s meme coin misfires while the Arctic Pablo coin races ahead.
Meanwhile, the $DOGS ticker on Solana surged after it got picked up by the Binance community buzz. And Neiro—out of nowhere—just pulled nearly 20% gains in 24 hours. There’s an energy shift, and the ones catching early wind are doing more than just riding vibes. They’re delivering serious ROI
What’s different now? Projects are telling stories. They’re building ecosystems. They’re not just throwing dog pics on the blockchain but designing empires. And in the middle of it all, one project is turning heads across continents: Arctic Pablo Coin. This isn’t just another meme coin—it’s a mythical expedition, blending mystery, math, and massive rewards into a presale journey like no other.
Arctic Pablo Coin: The Presale Adventure That Could Turn $10K into $266K In the frozen void of myth and money, Arctic Pablo Coin ($APC) leads a blizzard-chasing mission that has crypto communities buzzing. There are no boring stages—just mystical locations that Pablo, the explorer, journeys through. Each area is unique. Each one holds a different narrative, a new price, and a moment that could define someone’s financial future. It’s storytelling with real-time value.
Now stationed at Blizzard Borough, the 27th location in his trek, Pablo offers entry at $0.0003 per APC. And here’s the mind-blowing stat—this price is expected to climb all the way to $0.008 at launch. That’s a projected 2,566.66% return. If someone drops $10,000 right now, that translates to 33,333,300 APC tokens, worth $266,666.40 at launch.
But here’s the kicker—this location won’t last. Once Blizzard Borough closes, Pablo’s next stop comes with a higher price. Unsold tokens? Burned. Weekly. On-chain. Token burns shrink supply, boosting scarcity and long-term value. Each presale location that closes forever seals off an opportunity others missed. And the closer Arctic Pablo Coin gets to that $0.008 listing, the louder the regret echoes for those who didn’t act.
The deflationary mechanics are backed on Binance Smart Chain (BSC), with a robust tokenomics model that locks the team’s cut for one year, ensuring aligned incentives. There’s staking too—66% APY, vested for two months post-launch. Stake now, and let those coins multiply while Arctic Pablo continues to melt barriers.
Arctic Pablo is more than hype—it’s a mythology-infused movement reshaping what it means to invest in meme coins. It’s raised over $2.76 million, and momentum isn’t slowing down. Once this location ends, the price jumps, and the math becomes less magical. That’s why Arctic Pablo Coin might just be the most undervalued crypto gem of 2025—and one of the best new meme coins for exponential returns.
Dogs ($DOGS): The Solana-Powered Underdog Surging into the Spotlight What started as a community-driven meme experiment on Solana now commands profound respect. Dogs ($DOGS) isn’t just fetching likes—it’s fetching liquidity and traction. Dogs grew and barked into the top trending tokens in early June with the recent Solana hype and meme coin revival across decentralized platforms.
This isn’t its first sprint, either. Dogs gained notoriety after massive X posts from Solana influencers, and the community clamped down on early dumping with clever tokenomics and LP locks. Rumors of upcoming DEX integrations and utility-based NFT airdrops triggered its recent volume spike. While the details remain unofficial, excitement keeps pushing price action higher. And that’s the kind of raw momentum meme coin hunters crave.
Neiro (NEIRO): The Wildcard Meme Coin Breaking Out on Ethereum Here comes the wild card—Neiro ($NEIRO)—a surprise Ethereum-based meme coin that pulled off a stunning 18.81% surge in just 24 hours this week. Neiro plays the mystery card. Not much is known about its origin, but its stealth marketing and sudden price swings have traders comparing it to early Shiba Inu vibes. It’s one of those tokens that silently brews under the surface, then pounces when the market least expects it.
It’s Ethereum-native, so gas fees can be a hurdle for casual users, but the project’s devs teased an L2 migration in late Q3, which could transform the user experience and expand wallet adoption.
Final Thoughts Based on the research and market trends, Arctic Pablo Coin offers something no other meme coin is doing in 2025—a full-blown mythical expedition tied to ROI math that works. With its token burn mechanics, a storytelling-driven location-based presale, and a juicy 66% staking APY, it’s not just one of the best new meme coins for exponential returns—it’s the frontrunner. Dogs is barking up the right tree on Solana, and Neiro’s breakout on Ethereum proves traders still have an appetite for surprise tokens. But only Arctic Pablo Coin combines narrative, scarcity, staking, and real-world value in one freezing-hot package.
Before the price jumps, join the Arctic Pablo meme coin presale and stake your path to massive passive income.

Unlike traditional meme coins, Arctic Pablo Coin weaves a storytelling narrative with real ROI mechanics. Its location-based presale, weekly token burns, and 66% APY staking set it apart.

Yes, each presale location has a time or cap limit. Once Blizzard Borough ends, the price increases. The presale is nearing its final locations—entry at $0.0003 won’t last.

Arctic Pablo Coin’s staking program currently offers 66% APY, significantly higher than most meme coins in the market.

Neiro is a meme coin currently in an uptrend after bouncing from its strong daily support. Investors are keen to see how far this rise can sustain itself and move higher in the coming weeks.
Let’s find that out in detail in this Neiro price prediction.
Since its launch, Neiro (NEIRO) has reached an all-time high of $0.0031299, followed by a 505% price drop. At the time of writing, it is currently trading at $0.0004219, representing an 81% decrease from its price of $0.0023200, recorded four months ago in December 2024.
NEIRO 1d chart | Source: crypto.news In this article, we’ll discuss NEIRO price prediction by giving you its short-term and long-term price forecasts and exploring whether this token can continue its bullish run.
What is Neiro? The official website of Neiro claims it to be the heir to Dogecoin, a famous meme coin that has led the dog meme coins revolution since its inception.
The genuine essence of memecoins and online culture is perpetuated by Neiro, who was adopted by the same woman who had owned Kabosu, the dog who inspired the Dogecoin (DOGE) meme.
On August 4, 2024, Vitalik Buterin himself took notice of Neiro, which was the first to deploy on Ethereum. A few days later, Vitalik revealed that he had donated over $500k to an animal welfare fund in response to an X account maintained by community members. This was Vitalik’s second encounter with a memecoin; the first was in 2021 with the SHIB token.
We are the people's $Neiro, on the people's chain, @ethereum.
And a little fun fact: @VitalikButerin is currently our largest holder. (4% of supply, ~$130k value as of the time of this post)
— Neiro (@neiro) August 3, 2024 Neiro’s story, which began when her owner abandoned her and gave her to a shelter for stray dogs for adoption, is similar to ours in that we chose to take over the project after the previous developer roughed her up. Neiro is now run and owned entirely by the community.
The project claims to have donated to the shelter where Neiro was originally held as part of their strong commitment to giving back, and they have more humanitarian projects planned as well.
Now let’s discuss NEIRO price prediction for this year and in the coming years as well.
What can be a realistic projection for the NEIRO token? Let’s dive into the NEIRO price prediction for 2025 and 2030.
Neiro coin price prediction: short-term outlook According to CoinCodex’s Neiro price prediction for the near future, the token is projected to drop by -24.95% and reach $0.000865 by July 11, 2025.
As of April 22, 2025, the overall sentiment of the NEIRO price outlook has shifted slightly bullish, with 15 technical analysis indicators displaying bullish signals, 11 indicating bearish trends, and 9 indicators showing neutral forecasts.
Neiro price prediction 2025 For the remaining months of 2025, DigitalCoinPrice predicts that the NEIRO token’s price could fluctuate between $0.000460 and $0.00111, and may likely hold a yearly average of $0.00107.
CoinCodex projects that the NEIRO token can trade in the price channel of $0.000794 to $0.001153 in 2025.
While the general sentiment in the financial markets is that 2025 will be the year of the bull, it is important to understand that this prediction also has a chance of being wrong. BTC has already breached the $100k mark, and there is a possibility that it may be at the top of this bull cycle. Hence, it is advised to do your research before investing in NEIRO or any other cryptocurrency with the hopes of gaining on your investment in 2025.
Neiro price prediction 2030 As per CoinCodex’s Neiro crypto price prediction for 2030, NEIRO’s price could vary between $0.002415 and $0.004378..
DigitalCoinPrice expects that NEIRO’s price could climb to $0.00243 and $0.00277 by the end of 2030.
Before trusting any source that is trying to predict the NEIRO price prediction for 2030, you should understand that it is a cryptocurrency and, like all other tokens, the NEIRO token’s price can be highly volatile.
2030 is five years away, and many cryptocurrencies can become obsolete in that time. This is why it is hard to give a realistic price prediction for any token, including NEIRO. A great way for NEIRO to survive these five years and continue its ascent in the crypto market is to continue building its blockchain technology and partner with key players in the digital crypto space. You should research and keep yourself updated with the latest developments in the upcoming years to make an informed investment decision in the NEIRO token.
Is Neiro a good investment? Before investing in any cryptocurrency, including NEIRO, please identify and understand the inherent risks that can come due to market volatility. Also, it should be noted that the sentiment in the cryptocurrency market changes quickly, and a token that was once considered the future may also be delisted from major exchanges. Hence, it is advisable to do your research on the token’s fundamentals before having any price expectations for the future of the NEIRO token.
Will Neiro go up or down? Cryptocurrencies in general experience rapid price swings that are directly driven by market sentiments, community engagement, events like token burns, and so on.
While it is hard to determine how high the NEIRO token will go, it is important to look out for potential buying factors that may include new partnerships, increased token holders, or viral campaigns in general.
It is also vital that you rely on financial experts and consult them for Neiro price prediction, but even after all that, you should remain cautious, as no one can accurately predict how high or low NEIRO can go.
Should I invest in Neiro? Before investing in any cryptocurrency or trusting any Neiro price forecast, please identify and understand the inherent risks that can come due to market volatility. Also, it should be noted that cryptocurrencies in general are a highly speculative investment, and their success not only relies on market volatility but also the constant and sustainable growth of their community. Hence, it is advisable to do your research on the token’s fundamentals, which may very well decide the future of the NEIRO token.

What if a coin could take you on an adventure while multiplying your wealth? That’s exactly the story of Arctic Pablo Coin, where a fearless explorer ventures into icy worlds to uncover shimmering $APC tokens loaded with mystique and financial potential. Unlike generic meme coins, APC ties each presale stage to mythical Earth locations, creating a narrative investors can follow while securing real ROI. With 66% APY staking, referral bonuses, and deflationary token burns that boost scarcity, APC has quickly separated itself from the crowd. And whales are bullish—snagging APC coins like kids at a candy store, stacking millions of tokens before the presale finale.
But here’s the electric part: Stage 39 (Shiver Me Bags) is live, priced at $0.00099, and it’s the last chance to use code BAGS300 to unlock 300% extra APC tokens. Every $1000 nets 4.04 million APC, instantly quadrupled. A $2500 investment right now delivers 10.1 million tokens, boosted to 40.4 million APC with the bonus. At the $0.008 listing price, that turns into $323,200. If APC climbs to analysts’ $0.10 target, that haul becomes $4.04 million. This is how fortunes are minted. And don’t forget—Coinstore’s X announcement confirmed APC will launch at the end of presale on both PancakeSwap (DEX) and Coinstore (CEX).
Final Call for Whales—Load Up on APC Before the 300% Bonus Vanishes! APC’s meme coin presale has already raised $3.76 million and counting, and whales aren’t waiting. They’re scooping up APC before Monday, when the 300% bonus disappears forever. Once Stage 39 ends, so does the bonus, and early adopters will have locked in a 31x multiplier on their investment.
With unsold tokens burned weekly and a total supply of 221.2 billion capped, scarcity is baked into the system. This isn’t just another meme coin presale—it’s a ticket to Earth’s hidden treasures. As the story of Arctic Pablo races toward its finale, the cold frontier has never been hotter for investors.
2. Pepe Coin (PEPE): The Original Meme Culture Icon ($PEPE) Pepe Coin remains one of the most recognized meme tokens, leveraging years of internet culture and loyal community backing. While it doesn’t carry a presale frenzy like APC, its strong holder base and continuous viral presence keep it in circulation. With regular exchange listings and deep liquidity, PEPE keeps its grip as one of the top new meme coins to invest in now, showing resilience even during market corrections.
That staying power, rooted in sheer meme culture dominance, is why Pepe Coin stays on every serious meme investor’s radar.
3. Memecoin (MEME): The Name That Says It All ($MEME) Memecoin went viral on branding alone—its ticker, MEME, says everything. More than a joke, the project has leaned into playful community-driven campaigns and continuous marketing rollouts. Unlike many meme tokens, MEME tapped into mainstream attention by directly embracing the word that started the movement. It thrives on being relatable, simple, and pure fun.
That natural virality ensures MEME holds its spot among meme traders. Its ability to resonate with casual and serious investors alike is exactly why it earns its place in this list.
4. Neiro (NEIRO): Japan’s New Meme Powerhouse ($NEIRO) Neiro exploded onto the scene from Japan, where meme investing has its own dedicated following. Built with anime-inspired branding and fueled by strong Asian community activity, NEIRO quickly built traction with early liquidity and grassroots support. It has shown impressive momentum thanks to heavy buying from traders drawn to its cultural roots and character-driven narrative.
With Japan’s meme coin community continuing to grow, NEIRO is carving out a strong position. Its cultural backing is why it’s here on this list of top new meme coins to invest in now.
5. Simon’s Cat (CAT): From Comic to Crypto ($CAT) Simon’s Cat, the famous internet cartoon feline, has transitioned into crypto, bringing with it years of established brand recognition. Unlike purely viral tokens, CAT has a storyline and fanbase that stretches far beyond crypto. Its expansion into blockchain gives fans the chance to invest directly in a character they’ve loved for years.
That crossover between mainstream media and crypto is rare, and it’s why Simon’s Cat made it into this roundup. Its recognition alone makes it a contender among meme coins with lasting appeal.
6. Tutorial (TUTORIAL): Educating While Investing ($TUTORIAL) Tutorial Coin sets itself apart by focusing on blockchain education while rewarding holders. It’s a meme coin with a utility twist—designed to bring new investors into crypto through learning modules, content, and community-driven educational events. This mix of fun branding with real learning keeps Tutorial relevant among forward-thinking meme enthusiasts.
That unique blend of meme culture and knowledge is what makes Tutorial Coin a standout. It’s not just fun, it’s functional—and that’s why it secures a place here.
Conclusion: Last Call Before APC’s 300% Bonus Disappears Meme coins are moving faster than ever, and only a few deliver real wealth potential. Pepe, Memecoin, Neiro, Simon’s Cat, and Tutorial all have their strengths—but Arctic Pablo Coin dominates the spotlight right now. The Stage 39 presale with code BAGS300 is the final window to grab 300% extra APC tokens. Whales are diving in because the math is undeniable: $2500 today could snowball into six or even seven figures at listing and beyond.
The clock is ticking—Coinstore’s X announcement guarantees APC will launch on both PancakeSwap and Coinstore at the end of the presale, cementing it as one of the top new meme coins to invest in now. Every presale stage sells out faster, and when Monday comes, the 300% bonus is gone. For those who hesitate, the moment will be lost. For those who act, Arctic Pablo could define their financial future.

Ever what it would feel like to catch the next BNB or Dogecoin before it made millionaires? The crypto market keeps proving that opportunities appear , but only for those bold enough to act. Right now, excitement is swirling around BlockchainFX ($BFX), a presale project promising to change how traders interact with crypto and traditional finance.
Meanwhile, projects like Neiro are creating their own buzz in the meme coin sector, trying to capture investor attention with hype and community strength. Ethereum competitors are also holding firm, but capital is clearly flowing toward new presales where 10x Crypto opportunities feel more tangible.
This article will cover the developments and updates of all coins mentioned: BlockchainFX ($BFX) and Neiro , giving investors a clear picture of why BlockchainFX could stand out as one of the best cryptos to buy this month.
BlockchainFX: A New Era of Utility and Rewards Table of Contents
BlockchainFX: A New Era of Utility and RewardsKey Features:Presale Numbers That Speak VolumesNeiro: Meme Power Without the DepthWhy BlockchainFX Stands TallerQuick Feature Comparison: BlockchainFX vs NeiroBlockchainFX: The Ultimate Investment EdgeWhy BlockchainFX Is Making Waves in PresalesThe Road Ahead: Meme Hype Meets UtilityFind Out More:FAQs1. What is BlockchainFX ($BFX)?2. How can I make money with crypto using BFX?3. What is the presale price of BFX?4. Why are Crypto Whales interested in BFX?5. What makes BFX better than Neiro? BlockchainFX ($BFX) is not just another meme coin. It is engineered as a multi-asset trading super app, merging crypto with stocks, forex, ETFs, and commodities in a single ecosystem. This real-world utility is what sets it apart and attracts Crypto Whales looking for best cryptos for high ROIs.
Key Features: Daily Passive Income: Holders earn USDT rewards whenever trading happens on the platform. Deflationary Supply: Unsold tokens will be burned, reducing circulating supply and boosting scarcity. Security First: Audits by CertiK and Coinsult confirm its high standards, while Solidproof verified the team. Cross-Market Coverage: Unlike standard meme tokens, BFX allows seamless access to multiple asset classes. It is rare for a presale project to combine meme coin excitement with institutional-level features , and that’s why BlockchainFX is making noise in the top crypto presale lists.
Presale Numbers That Speak Volumes BlockchainFX ($BFX) presale highlights:
Presale Price: $0.024 Listing Price: $0.05 Funds Raised: Over $7.7M (97% of softcap already achieved) Softcap Goal: $8M Total Supply: 3.5 billion BFX Liquidity: Locked after launch Unsold Tokens: Burned Investment Scenario: $2,500 Allocation
$2,500 ÷ $0.024 = 104,166 BFX tokens With BLOCK30 (30% bonus): 135,416 BFX tokens At listing ($0.05): ≈ $6,770 At $1 target: ≈ $135,416 Even a modest $2,500 investment could snowball into six figures if $BFX hits its projected growth. That’s why many rank it among the best cryptos for high ROIs in 2025.
Neiro: Meme Power Without the Depth Neiro has been trending lately thanks to community-driven hype and meme culture appeal. The project taps into internet virality, which has historically propelled tokens like PEPE and Dogecoin into the spotlight. It thrives on social media activity, trending hashtags, and playful branding.
However, unlike BlockchainFX, Neiro’s ecosystem lacks built-in reward mechanics or broad real-world utility. Its growth potential is tied to sentiment, which can shift as quickly as it arrives. While Neiro may capture short bursts of attention, investors looking to make money with crypto long term may hesitate when comparing it with structured presales like BFX.
Why BlockchainFX Stands Taller BlockchainFX provides utility, staking rewards, security audits, and a deflationary design , factors Crypto Whales examine closely. Neiro is entertaining but doesn’t offer the same infrastructure to generate passive income or real-world trading solutions.
Quick Feature Comparison: BlockchainFX vs Neiro Feature BlockchainFX ($BFX) Neiro Meme Coin Utility Beyond Crypto Multi-asset trading platform (crypto, stocks) Primarily meme-driven hype Rewards for Holders Daily USDT rewards from trading activity None Security Audited by CertiK, Coinsult, Solidproof No major security audits listed Supply Model Deflationary with token burns Inflationary meme dynamics Community Growth Driven by utility and staking incentives Driven by meme culture The table shows a clear tilt , while Neiro builds attention through culture, BlockchainFX cements its case with best crypto presale fundamentals.
BlockchainFX: The Ultimate Investment Edge What makes BlockchainFX one of the top cryptos to buy this week isn’t just the presale momentum, but the strategic ecosystem it is developing. Its presale bonus, token burns, liquidity lock, and cross-asset super app vision align it closer to serious trading adoption than meme-only tokens.
Add to this the $500,000 giveaway rewarding 20 winners , including $250,000 for first place , and investors get more than just tokens. By completing tasks like buying BFX, leaving TrustPilot reviews, reposting on X, joining Telegram, or sharing on TikTok, entries increase, with bonus points for completing all. Once the presale sells out, winners will be announced.
It’s rare to see a presale reward system this generous, proving why BlockchainFX is gaining traction as one of the best cryptos to buy for both short-term and long-term ROI.
Why BlockchainFX Is Making Waves in Presales While Neiro and other meme coins focus heavily on branding and social momentum, BlockchainFX is bridging the gap between speculation and actual financial tools. That dual advantage is why more analysts believe BFX has the potential to deliver 100x Gains , a phrase investors don’t throw around lightly.
Projects that combine hype with utility often become magnets for Crypto Whales, and BlockchainFX is carving its place on that list. Every sign , from raised funds to presale bonuses to security audits , points toward a token designed not only to trend but to last.
The Road Ahead: Meme Hype Meets Utility Meme coins like Neiro will always have a place in the crypto space because they fuel community excitement. Yet, the projects that endure long enough to reward early adopters are usually those that tie speculation with practical applications. BlockchainFX offers both.
As the presale moves past $7.7M raised, with a target listing price of $0.05, the math gets clearer: early participants stand to gain the most. Those searching for cryptos to buy this month are eyeing BlockchainFX as a real contender.

US Treasury Secretary: AI boom may boost productivity and help curb inflation.
US Treasury Secretary Bessent told CNBC in an interview that he hopes the Federal Reserve will remain "open-minded" about the inflation pattern after the reversal of Iran-related energy price hikes. Bessent noted that the U.S. could enter an economic environment marked by high GDP growth without a corresponding rise in traditional inflation. He cited that in the 1990s, Alan Greenspan foresaw that office modernization and the internet could drive non-inflationary growth, and allowed the economy to keep expanding. Bessent believes the U.S. has a strong chance of seeing a similar scenario again. When asked whether the Fed still needs to worry about potential inflation and whether interest rate cuts are possible this year or next, Bessent declined to comment. However, he argued that it is necessary to stay open-minded about the price or inflation impacts from the Iran conflict, and monitor inflation performance after those effects subside. Bessent also said an open mind is needed, as the AI boom could boost productivity and deliver disinflationary effects, helping inflation return to the Fed’s target level. He added that he believes Kevin Warsh will choose the optimal path that meets both the Fed’s inflation and growth mandates. Bessent also noted that Warsh previously took a hawkish stance on inflation.

Scroll co-founder Ye Chen’s X account was hijacked in a sophisticated phishing operation where attackers posed as platform employees to target crypto industry figures.
The compromised account, which commands substantial influence among crypto leaders, began distributing fraudulent messages claiming copyright violations and threatening account restrictions unless users clicked on malicious links within 48 hours.
The hackers transformed Chen’s profile to mimic X’s official branding, updating the bio to reference Twitter and nCino while warning followers about security breaches.
Screenshot from XThe attackers flooded the feed with reposts from X’s verified accounts to enhance perceived legitimacy, then launched their phishing campaign via direct messages.
Sophisticated Attack Mirrors Growing PatternThe breach follows established tactics where hackers exploit trusted accounts to distribute malicious links disguised as urgent platform notifications.
Recipients received messages appearing to come from X’s rights management team, complete with fake compliance warnings and time-sensitive appeals processes designed to create panic and bypass security awareness.
Blockchain security researcher Wu Blockchain first identified the compromise and alerted the community to ignore any communications from the account.
The warning emphasized particular concern given Chen’s extensive network of high-profile cryptocurrency executives, developers, and investors who might trust messages from his verified account.

— Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) January 25, 2026 The attack represents the latest escalation in social media compromises targeting crypto industry leaders, in which hackers increasingly leverage delegated account access and expired domain registrations to bypass security measures, including two-factor authentication.
BNB Chain’s official account suffered a similar breach in October when hackers posted fake reward programs with phishing links after Binance co-founder CZ warned followers against clicking suspicious content.
The compromised account promoted fraudulent BSC token distributions, promising early payouts to users who voted on reward dates through malicious URLs designed to drain digital wallets.
Binance co-CEO Yi He’s WeChat account was also hijacked in December to promote meme coin schemes, with attackers conducting a coordinated pump-and-dump operation around the token MUBARA.
Two wallets created hours before the breach accumulated 21.16 million tokens before dumping holdings as retail traders flooded in, netting attackers approximately $55,000 while leaving later buyers exposed to price collapse.
Among other notable accounts hacked were ZKsync and Matter Labs, which were compromised in May through what the team described as “delegated accounts” with limited posting privileges.
Hackers published false claims about an SEC investigation alongside fake airdrop promotions, triggering a 5% drop in the ZK token price despite a prior 38.5% weekly rally.
The prominent crypto media company, Watcher.Guru also confirmed its account breach in March after fake Ripple-SWIFT partnership claims spread across connected Telegram, Facebook, and Discord channels through automated content bots.
The team suspects the compromise originated from a suspicious link containing unusual query strings shared in their Telegram group weeks earlier.
Record Theft Year Exposes Escalating ThreatsThe crypto ecosystem witnessed over $3.4 billion stolen in 2025, according to Chainalysis’s 2026 Crypto Crime Report, with North Korean state-backed hackers accounting for a record $2.02 billion across fewer but increasingly sophisticated attacks.
Source: ChainalysisThe Democratic People’s Republic of Korea now represents 76% of all service compromises, bringing cumulative DPRK cryptocurrency theft to $6.75 billion since operations began.
Personal wallet compromises surged to 158,000 incidents affecting at least 80,000 unique victims, triple the 54,000 cases recorded in 2022.
Address poisoning scams drove December’s single-largest loss, when one victim transferred $50 million to a fraudulent wallet mimicking their intended destination, while private key leaks resulted in $27.3 million stolen from multi-signature wallets.
Personal Security Breaches Surge Across PlatformsMost recently, Ubuntu developer Alan Pope warned that attackers are hijacking Snap Store publisher accounts by registering expired domains linked to legitimate developers, then pushing malicious updates to previously trusted packages.
The technique exploits automatic update systems and established trust signals, with at least 2 confirmed cases of wallet-stealing malware distributed through seemingly normal applications.
Given these growing, multifaceted attack vectors, Better Business Bureau officials are warning consumers about phishing campaigns that lock X users out of their accounts and are subsequently used for cryptocurrency promotions.
Kentucky journalist Jennie Rees described receiving direct messages from apparent colleagues requesting contest votes, only to find her account posting fake Audi purchase claims tied to crypto earnings after clicking the malicious link.

ether.fi, a crypto neobank, is migrating its services from the Scroll blockchain to Optimism's OP Mainnet to leverage enhanced payment capabilities and enterprise-grade support.
ether.fi, a crypto neobank with $5.7 billion of total-value locked, said in an X post it’s migrating from the Scroll blockchain to Optimism's OP Mainnet.
The move aims to capitalize on Optimism’s OP Enterprise to enhance global payment capabilities, access established liquidity and users, and provide enterprise-grade support, according to the company’s blog post.
The migration is significant given ether.fi's substantial user base, boasting approximately 50,000 active cards, according to Cipher Research.
ether.fi offers a digital cash account and card product known as ether.fi Cash, which integrates DeFi features such as fiat-to-crypto flow, yield earning, and a non-custodial wallet.
Previously, ether.fi was hosted on Scroll, the 12th largest Layer 2 solution for Ethereum, with about $100 million of TVL.
Scroll’s SCROLL token is down 2.3% and Ether.fi’s ETHFi is down 3.6%.
This article was generated with the assistance of AI workflows.
Crypto-focused payment platform Ether.fi is shifting its Ether.fi Cash payment network from the Scroll blockchain to OP Mainnet. This transition will see nearly 70,000 active cards and over 300,000 accounts integrated into Optimism’s Superchain ecosystem within a few months. As Ether.fi prepares for a high-volume asset migration, company executives say the move aims to make its consumer applications more efficient and scalable under the new infrastructure.
OP Mainnet Ushers in a New Phase for Ether.fi CashEther.fi, renowned for its innovative restaking services, has been earning rapid recognition in the decentralized finance landscape. By 2024, the platform widened its offerings with Ether.fi Cash, making stablecoin spending and real-world card payments possible for users. Through Ether.fi, customers can either spend stablecoins directly or use staked assets such as eETH as collateral to fund real Visa transactions. The platform claims its cards alone now account for nearly half of all crypto-powered card transactions in the market.
Strategic Rationale for Network MigrationSelecting the right network—one that offers speed and deep liquidity—remains at the heart of every successful crypto payment solution. Ether.fi representatives emphasize that Optimism’s liquidity depth is better suited for this use case than Scroll’s ZK-rollup technology. Throughout the transition, Ether.fi will absorb all card transaction gas fees on behalf of users. The platform currently processes about $2 million in daily spending volume, underscoring the scale of its operations.
Technical and Operational Considerations in MigrationDuring the transition, Ether.fi will utilize support from OP Enterprise and adopt its shared codebase. Ether.fi Cash is recording around 2,000 internal swaps and an impressive 28,000 spending transactions each day, with these numbers reportedly doubling every two months. To ensure users don’t experience disruptions, the protocol is absorbing all transaction costs during the switch. Efficiency and capital effectiveness have been the guiding forces behind this network migration.
According to company data, as many as 3.6 billion transactions took place on the OP Stack infrastructure in the second half of 2025 alone. With Ethereum-based Layer 2 solutions expanding their market share at a brisk pace, the technical advantages and capacity of the Superchain ecosystem position Ether.fi to reach broader audiences at higher speeds.
As Ether.fi consolidates its presence on OP Mainnet, it will leave behind significant daily transaction volume on Scroll. This shift strengthens OP Mainnet’s standing in the ecosystem by integrating a high-volume, loyal user application, while Scroll is set to lose a considerable chunk of daily activities as a result.
Elsewhere in the Ethereum ecosystem, more projects are moving toward tried-and-tested infrastructures that offer mature liquidity and robust reliability over emerging technologies. On the user side, despite backend technical differences, the priority remains a seamless card payment experience without friction or delays.
The Ether.fi team explained that users won’t notice any changes in transaction fees during the migration, emphasizing that their long-term vision is to enable global, on-chain real-world payments.

Both etherfi and Optimism described the transition as a long-term partnership.
Decentralized neobank and crypto card issuer etherfi is leaving Scroll for Optimism, taking with it millions of dollars in total value locked and monthly fees generated on Scroll, data shows.
In an X post on Wednesday, Feb. 18, etherfi said it plans to move its Cash accounts and card program from Scroll to Optimism’s OP Mainnet, migrating more than 70,000 active cards, roughly 300,000 user accounts, and nearly $160 million in TVL in the coming months.
With etherfi, Scroll’s own TVL is only around $188 million as of today, Feb. 19, per data from DefiLlama.

Source: DefiLlamaThe decision marks a clear break from Scroll, an Ethereum ZK rollup, where etherfi was the dominant consumer-facing app. According to data from DefiLlama, as of today, EtherFi Cash, the company’s crypto card and digital account product, accounted for roughly $13.2 million in annualized fees, and over $23,000 in the past 24 hours.

Source: DefiLlamaSince launching its Cash product in September 2024, the company says it has processed more than $265 million in card spend, positioning the service as one of the largest non-custodial crypto card programs currently in operation, the firm noted in its X post announcing the migration.
‘Long-Term Partnership’Per its post, etherfi is framing the transition as a “long-term partnership,” pointing to deeper liquidity, broader DeFi integrations and native stablecoin support on Optimism.
In commentary for The Defiant, etherfi co-founder Rok Kopp explained that Optimism “has been one of the pioneers of the L2 space and Ethereum scaling solutions more broadly, and the Superchain has powered many of the most widely used blockchain products in the world.”
Kopp added:
“We are excited to build on battle tested, cost efficient infrastructure we know we can scale effectively on. Working with the OP Labs team has been our pleasure, and we believe our collaboration can help propel the DeFi neobanking space to new heights”Optimism, for its part, also described the migration in a Feb. 18 blog post as a “long-term OP Enterprise partnership” aimed at scaling on-chain payments.
With its leading fee-generating dApp departing, Scroll now faces losing a big chunk of its revenue.
The Defiant reached out to etherfi and Scroll for comments on the move, but hasn’t heard back by press time.
The Ethereum Layer 2 network raised its L1 data cost scalars 1,280x over six days before rolling them back yesterday.
Users on Scroll, an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) network, paid more than $50,000 in excess transaction fees over roughly four days after the team behind the project repeatedly raised the parameters that determine how much users pay for posting data to Ethereum, according to an analysis published by L2BEAT.
The overcharges stemmed from six manual increases to two fee multipliers on Scroll's gas price oracle, the smart contract that calculates the Layer 1 data portion of every transaction's cost. Each update raised the previous value by 2x to 10x, compounding to 1,280x the original baseline by April 5, L2BEAT said. On April 9, the team slashed both multipliers by 160x.
The baseline cost for all roughly 139,000 affected transactions would have been just $280. Instead, users collectively paid upward of $50,000, with automated bots accounting for the vast majority.
Scroll has not publicly addressed the findings at the time of writing.
Etherfi Cash bots, which are still running during the protocol's ongoing migration to Optimism, accounted for roughly $35,000, or 66% of the excess, per L2BEAT. Scroll's own oracle relayer paid approximately $5,200, with LayerZero, Succinct, and other bots making up the rest.
The issue was first flagged by a pseudonymous developer running a Succinct relayer, who posted on X that their transaction costs had jumped from $0.002 to over $20.
"Scroll was subsidizing L1 DA costs and is now correcting to sustainable pricing?" the developer asked. "And there's no users on Scroll except us, so we're paying full price for it?"
Crypto research firm Kairos Research noted that the fee spike appeared to coincide with etherfi's migration to Optimism. When etherfi was Scroll's dominant app, total daily transaction fees from its products averaged about $250. After the multiplier increases began on March 31, that figure jumped to roughly $16,000 per day.
L2BEAT clarified that the overcharges were not a sequencer issue, as the L1 gas prices reported by the oracle were accurate. The entire overcharge came from the multiplier increases, which went through a separate governance path involving the team's multisig wallet.
The episode raises the question of whether Scroll had been running fees below cost to retain users, a common practice among L2s competing for activity, and abruptly repriced once its largest fee contributor departed.
Scroll’s total value locked (TVL) sits at just $24 million, according to DeFiLlama, down 96% from its peak of $585 millon in October 2024.

The governance overhaul comes on the heels of a fee controversy and the departure of the Layer 2 network's top revenue generator.
Scroll is proposing to dissolve its Security Council and slash contributor roles across its DAO, the latest in a string of operational shake-ups for the embattled Ethereum Layer 2 network.
In a forum post published Monday, Scroll contributor Juan outlined plans to transfer protocol admin control from the Security Council to a newly created Scroll Admin multisig, with the transition targeted to be completed within 10 days, pending the council's support.
The team framed the move as a cost-cutting measure, stating that the Security Council's expense could no longer be justified relative to its recent usage. They added that Scroll will work with stakeholders to identify a new council structure "better adapted to current market conditions."
Alongside the council dissolution, four DAO contributor roles, including the Accountability Lead, Accountability Operator, Marketing Operations, and Program Coordination positions, will be eliminated by April 30. A single Facilitator role operated by SEED LATAM will remain active through Q2 2026 to manage delegate operations and governance budgets.
The Operations and Accountability committees will shift to reduced capacity, with the post noting structures "remain in place and can scale back up as activity increases."
The governance restructuring comes at a turbulent time for Scroll. Just last week,users on the network paid more than $50,000 in excess transaction fees after the team briefly raised fee multipliers on Scroll's gas price oracle by a compounding 1,280x. The overcharges predominantly hit automated bots, including those still operating from EtherFi Cash's ongoing migration away from the chain.
EtherFi, Scroll's dominant consumer-facing app and top fee generator by a wide margin, announced in February that it would move its Cash accounts and card program to Optimism's OP Mainnet.
Scroll's TVL now sits at just $24 million, according to DefiLlama, a 96% decline from its October 2024 peak of $585 million.
The forum post states that the DAO "continues to operate and evolve" and encourages delegates to bring forward new proposals. But the combination of a collapsing user base and significant governance downsizing paints a stark picture for one of Ethereum's early zkEVM pioneers.

Scroll has proposed a major overhaul of its governance structure. This includes dissolving its Security Council and transitioning protocol control to a Scroll-administered multisig. The move has already sparked concerns over decentralization and security.
The 13 April proposal also includes scaling back DAO contributor roles and reducing committee activity.
However, some community members warn that the changes could concentrate control and weaken existing oversight mechanisms.
Security Council to be replaced with multisig At the center of the proposal is the planned transition of protocol admin control from the Security Council to a Scroll Admin multisig. The change is expected to take place within 10 days, pending council approval.
The Security Council currently oversees critical protocol functions, including contract upgrades and governance safeguards. Under the new structure, these responsibilities would shift to a multisig controlled by designated signers.
Scroll said the move follows a review of the council’s cost relative to its usage, concluding that maintaining the structure is no longer justified.
The transition would cover key contracts, including the ScrollOwner, AgoraGovernor, and associated timelock contracts. Also, all changes will be executed transparently on-chain.
DAO roles scaled back as activity slows The proposal also outlines a reduction in DAO operations.
Several contributor roles — including marketing, program coordination, and accountability positions — are set to conclude by 30 April 2026.
The Operations and Accountability committees will continue in a reduced capacity, with the option to scale back up if activity increases.
Scroll said the DAO framework remains active, with delegates still able to propose and vote on initiatives.
Concerns emerge over security and decentralization The proposal has sparked debate within the community, particularly around its potential impact on decentralization and security.
Some observers noted that replacing a multi-member Security Council with a smaller multisig could increase reliance on a more concentrated group of operators.
Others suggested that the change could affect how the network is evaluated for security guarantees, particularly if oversight mechanisms are reduced.
There are also procedural considerations. The Security Council itself must approve the transition, meaning the proposal is not guaranteed to pass in its current form.
Also, L2BEAT, which tracks and evaluates Layer 2 networks, is expected to weigh in on rollup security models given its role in assessing them.
A shift toward leaner governance Scroll framed the changes as a move to better align governance with current operational needs, while maintaining the ability to scale structures back up as the ecosystem grows.
The team also indicated that a new form of Security Council could be introduced in the future.
Final Summary Scroll has proposed dissolving its Security Council and shifting protocol control to a multisig, alongside broader DAO restructuring. The move aims to improve efficiency, but has raised questions about decentralization, security, and governance oversight.
PANews reported on April 14th that Scroll has announced a significant proposal regarding the Scroll protocol and governance operations. The team proposes dissolving the Security Council and transferring protocol management authority to the Scroll Admin multisignature address, with the transition expected to be completed within the next ten days. Scroll stated that the Security Council's costs are no longer justified relative to its actual usage over the past few quarters, and resources should be better allocated to product development and growth. Scroll will collaborate with key stakeholders to find a new Security Council structure more suited to current market conditions.
Layer-2 blockchain Scroll looks to cut costs. (Clay Banks/Unsplash)Summary
Scroll is moving to dissolve its decentralized Security Council and reducing DAO staff to cut costs.The downsizing follows a financial hit after Scroll's top protocol migrated to Optimism, draining nearly $160 million in total value locked and $13 million in annualized fees.According to one report, Scroll artificially inflated its network gas fees by 1,280 for a few days after the exit, extracting over $50,000 in excess costs.The decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) behind Ethereum layer-2 network Scroll said it will propose a plan to dissolve its Security Council and transfer control of the network to an account managed by an internal team.
The proposal announcement comes two months after Scroll’s top fee-generating decentralized application (dapp), crypto neobank Ether.fi, moved to Optimism’s OP mainnet. That saw roughly 300,000 user accounts and more than $160 million in total value locked move away from the network.
In a governance update, a Scroll core contributor said the Security Council was simply too expensive. Scroll is laying off several contributors within the DAO and reducing the capacity of its operational committees. The handover is targeted for the next 10 days, pending support from the current council.
“After evaluating the Security Council’s cost relative to its actual usage over the past quarters, we believe continuation is no longer justified,” the post reads.
The project said all contract changes would be executed transparently and remain verifiable onchain.
Adding to the network's turbulence, a recent surge in Scroll's network fees appeared to be artificially manufactured rather than a sign of organic demand.
Over six days in early April, the network raised the amount it charges to publish data to the Ethereum mainnet by a factor of 1,280, creating the illusion of a massive spike in 30-day chain fee momentum, according to analysis from L2BEAT.
The adjustment forced users to pay over $50,000 in excess transaction fees for data posting that ordinarily would have cost roughly $280. The extreme, temporary repricing was rolled back on April 9.
Ether.fi’s migration moved around $13 million in annualized fees away from Scroll, according to DeFiLlama data, and trimmed the network’s TVL to around $23 million.
The decentralized organization behind the Ethereum-based Scroll network has announced a plan to dissolve its Security Council and transfer full control of the network to an internal team. The move comes on the heels of significant drops in both user activity and asset flows on the platform. In recent months, Scroll’s leading decentralized application, Ether.fi, departed with 300,000 users for the Optimism mainnet, resulting in a sharp $160 million outflow from Scroll’s total assets.
Major changes in governance structureUntil now, Scroll’s governance was overseen by a community-driven Security Council. However, the core team has argued that the council’s operating costs no longer justify its continuation, prompting a push toward a new management model. In a message to the community, the team noted that maintaining the current system incurs unnecessary financial burdens. As part of the proposed plan, many DAO contributors will see their roles eliminated, and the responsibilities of operational committees will be reduced.
With the Security Council’s approval, management transition to the internal team is expected to conclude within the next 10 days. The Scroll team emphasized that all decisions and updates to smart contracts will remain fully transparent and verifiable on-chain.
Fee hikes and user discontentEarlier this year in March and April, the Scroll network faced renewed attention after a sudden spike in transaction fees. According to independent analytics firm L2BEAT, Scroll briefly raised its data transmission fee by a staggering 1,280 times at the beginning of April. This dramatic technical adjustment led to seemingly extraordinary increases in 30-day aggregate on-chain fees. However, the team clarified that the spike was artificial and did not reflect organic user demand.
The temporary fee hike forced users to pay an additional $50,000 in transaction costs, whereas under normal circumstances, such activity would have totaled about $280. The inflated fees were rolled back to normal levels as of April 9.
Ether.fi migration deepens declineA significant blow to Scroll came with the departure of Ether.fi, a major decentralized finance (DeFi) application built on Ethereum. As Ether.fi moved 300,000 accounts and hefty transaction volume to the Optimism network, analytics from DeFiLlama show roughly $13 million in annual fees also left Scroll. This migration pushed the total value locked (TVL) on Scroll down to $23 million.
When comparing the Security Council’s recent operation and cost, the Scroll core team concluded, “We don’t think it makes sense to continue.”
Scroll’s structural overhaul, along with recent high-profile migration of apps and funds, have triggered concerns about the network’s future viability. It remains to be seen whether user and capital outflows will continue and just how effective the new governance model will prove to be.
Recent events have also sparked debate among community members about the trade-offs between security, decentralization, and operational efficiency on the network. Some users have voiced disappointment over the abrupt changes while others acknowledge the tough decisions required in challenging conditions.
Industry watchers point out that such governance shifts are not uncommon as decentralized projects mature and encounter new operational challenges. The Scroll team has pledged to maintain transparency throughout the transition process and to address community feedback wherever possible.
Besides the core governance transition, Scroll’s operational roadmap for the coming months will focus on stabilizing user engagement and rebuilding trust after the fee controversy and asset outflows.
Observers say the Scroll network’s next phase will be a key test of its adaptability, technological resilience, and ability to regain lost user and asset traction. Many in the blockchain ecosystem are watching closely to see how Scroll navigates its most critical period yet.

May 28: Scroll co-founder Sandy Peng argues in a new article that the quantum computing threat to Bitcoin isn’t a physical hurdle—it’s a governance and coordination challenge, not a technical one. A March whitepaper from Google Quantum AI estimates breaking Bitcoin’s secp256k1 elliptic curve with an optimized Shor’s algorithm would require roughly 1,200 logical qubits; that’s nearly 20 times fewer than projections from five years ago. IonQ’s official roadmap targets 1,600 logical qubits by 2028, while IBM plans to launch its 2,000-qubit Blue Jay system by 2033. This puts the quantum threat timeline at roughly a decade, possibly even shorter. Attacks will unfold in waves. The most vulnerable targets are early P2PK-formatted Bitcoin addresses, where public keys are permanently recorded on the blockchain. This includes over 1 million bitcoins mined by Satoshi Nakamoto in Bitcoin’s early days—funds that can’t be moved to secure them because the private key’s holder is unknown. Additionally, a so-called “collect first, decrypt later” attack could already be underway: intelligence agencies don’t need to wait for full quantum computer maturity to exploit this, as they can simply store encrypted data now to decrypt it later once quantum tech advances. Once quantum computers are ready, unconfirmed transactions in the mempool will face real-time double-spend attacks within Bitcoin’s typical 10-minute confirmation window. Though NIST released post-quantum cryptography algorithm standards in 2024, migrating Bitcoin to these standards comes with steep costs: studies suggest network throughput would drop by 52% to 57%, transaction fees would double or triple, and storage requirements would rise significantly. This amounts to a “defensive downgrade”: costs hit immediately, while benefits are abstract and far in the future. That makes consensus near-impossible for the Bitcoin community, which took nearly two years to even reach agreement on the SegWit upgrade. By contrast, Vitalik Buterin has already rolled out an Ethereum quantum emergency roadmap that lets individual accounts switch to quantum-resistant signatures autonomously—no network-wide vote required. Peng warns Bitcoin won’t collapse to zero, but its survival path is narrower than optimists claim, and the quantum threat window almost exactly overlaps with the 10 to 15 years the Bitcoin community will need to build consensus. Early Bitcoin holders are advised to check their address formats and migrate promptly, while institutional investors should integrate a “post-quantum migration roadmap” into their due diligence frameworks.

US Treasury Secretary: AI boom may boost productivity and help curb inflation.
US Treasury Secretary Bessent told CNBC in an interview that he hopes the Federal Reserve will remain "open-minded" about the inflation pattern after the reversal of Iran-related energy price hikes. Bessent noted that the U.S. could enter an economic environment marked by high GDP growth without a corresponding rise in traditional inflation. He cited that in the 1990s, Alan Greenspan foresaw that office modernization and the internet could drive non-inflationary growth, and allowed the economy to keep expanding. Bessent believes the U.S. has a strong chance of seeing a similar scenario again. When asked whether the Fed still needs to worry about potential inflation and whether interest rate cuts are possible this year or next, Bessent declined to comment. However, he argued that it is necessary to stay open-minded about the price or inflation impacts from the Iran conflict, and monitor inflation performance after those effects subside. Bessent also said an open mind is needed, as the AI boom could boost productivity and deliver disinflationary effects, helping inflation return to the Fed’s target level. He added that he believes Kevin Warsh will choose the optimal path that meets both the Fed’s inflation and growth mandates. Bessent also noted that Warsh previously took a hawkish stance on inflation.

The meme coin sector is showing pockets of strength even as the broader crypto market trades cautiously. Whale flows and technical divergences are building across several tokens simultaneously, suggesting that capital is quietly rotating back into the category. BeInCrypto analysts have identified three key meme coins to watch this week.
While several factors have influenced the coin identification, on-chain accumulation and chart structure converging are the key triggers.
Shiba Inu (SHIB)Shiba Inu (SHIB) trades at $0.00000602, up 11% over the past 30 days but still down 13% year-to-date. Whale wallets have been gradually increasing their holdings since a sharp accumulation phase began around March 13, when balances surged to above 771 trillion SHIB. Since April 1, whales have added another 2.02 trillion tokens worth approximately $12.16 million, pushing total holdings to 773.79 trillion.
Whale Holdings: SantimentThe daily chart supports the case for a potential reversal and validates renewed whale interest. Between January 31 and April 5, price made a lower low while the Relative Strength Index (RSI), a momentum oscillator, made a higher low. That standard bullish divergence flashed on April 2 as well, and SHIB has since bounced before failing at the 0.382 Fibonacci level . The token now trades just above that level, sitting at $0.00000599.
However, meaningful resistance sits at $0.0000064, a level that has capped every recovery attempt since February 18. A clean close above that level would open the path toward $0.0000072 and higher. A fall below $0.0000057 would weaken the divergence setup and expose $0.0000052 as the next floor.
SHIB Price Analysis: TradingViewA close above $0.0000064 confirms whale-backed strength, while a break below $0.0000057 invalidates the divergence for now.
SPX6900 (SPX)SPX6900 (SPX) sits near $0.28, up 6.51% on the day after crypto influencer Murad Mahmudov argued that SPX is stabilizing at the same market cap level where Dogecoin and Pepe consolidated before their explosive rallies.
The chart tells a more cautious story about this meme coin to watch. The daily timeframe shows a developing head and shoulders pattern. The neckline sits at $0.24. A confirmed break below that level would activate a 31% measured move target.
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), a proxy for institutional buying and selling pressure, reads -0.17 and remains well below the zero line. That negative reading means big money has not been flowing in despite the price bounce. Until CMF crosses above zero, every rally risks forming the right shoulder of a bearish reversal pattern rather than the start of a sustained move.
SPX Price Analysis: TradingViewWant more token insights like this? Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariya’s Daily Crypto Newsletter here.
Any price peak toward $0.38 while CMF stays negative would complete the right shoulder and strengthen the bearish case. For the pattern to be invalidated, SPX would need to reclaim $0.35 with CMF turning positive. However, if it fails to hold above $0.29 and breaks the $0.24 neckline, the pattern projects a drop toward $0.22 and lower.
A reclaim of $0.35 with positive CMF weakens the head and shoulders formation and a move above $0.38 invalidates the bearishness altogether. However, a break below $0.24 activates a 31% downside target.
Pepe (PEPE)Pepe (PEPE) is at $0.000003544, up 4% over the past 30 days and 6% over the past seven days. Among the meme coins to watch this week, PEPE shows the most aligned setup between whale activity and chart structure.
On-chain data from Santiment reveals a sharp spike in whale holdings on April 5, jumping from 186.91 trillion to 188.14 trillion PEPE. That 1.23 trillion token increase worth roughly $4.36 million represents fresh accumulation rather than a redistribution between wallets, as the move coincides with a visible buying wick on the price chart.
PEPE Whale Holdings: SantimentThe daily chart confirms the momentum shift. Between February 11 and April 2, price printed a lower low while RSI printed a higher low, forming a standard bullish divergence. Since the divergence completed, PEPE has rallied approximately 11% with whales adding incrementally between April 1 and April 5. The token now trades above the $0.0000032 support and is approaching the $0.0000036 resistance.
A close above $0.0000036 would confirm the breakout and target $0.0000043 at the next major technical level. Above that, the uptrend extends toward $0.0000047 and higher. A fall below $0.0000032 would weaken the divergence structure and open the path toward $0.0000031 and lower.
PEPE Price Analysis: TradingViewA close above $0.0000036 confirms the whale-backed rally has legs. However, a break below $0.0000032 would undermine the bullish divergence setup.
SPX6900 just posted a surprise 10% Easter Monday pump after an 87% drawdown, and somewhere in the same week, a regulated super app called BlockchainFX is days away from closing its presale at $0.035. One coin is recovering from a brutal correction, and the other hasn’t even launched yet. For anyone hunting the top crypto to buy this week, the timing here is hard to ignore, and the contrast between the two stories tells you a lot about where smart money is actually moving right now.
While SPX6900’s rebound is grabbing headlines, BlockchainFX is quietly doing something much more significant: it has raised over $14.17M from 22,900+ participants and is less than $1M away from hitting its $15M softcap, the trigger point for its full exchange launch. It trades, earns, and pays staking rewards daily, all from one platform. The presale window is closing fast, and once that softcap is hit, BFX launches. That urgency is very real and very now.
BlockchainFX Presale: The Launch Countdown Has Officially Started Table of Contents
BlockchainFX Presale: The Launch Countdown Has Officially StartedGet 50% Bonus $BFX Tokens Before LaunchSPX6900 Bounces Hard But the Bigger Picture Stays CautiousThe Verdict: One Pump, One Launch, One Clear Top Crypto to Buy This WeekFind Out More Information Here: BlockchainFX is a next-generation trading platform that bridges crypto and traditional financial markets in one place. Think Binance meets Coinbase, but decentralized, self-custodied, and covering stocks, forex, ETFs, and commodities alongside crypto. It was awarded Best New Crypto Trading App of 2025 and is already live in beta with thousands of daily users and millions in daily trading volume. It is licensed and regulated by the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority, which is not something most presale projects can say. The presale has already pulled in over $14.17M from more than 22,900 participants, with the current price sitting at $0.035 and the launch price set at $0.050.
The platform’s daily staking rewards, paid in both BFX and USDT every Monday, give holders a passive income stream from day one. That is something most presale tokens simply do not offer before launch. It is already working, already earning, and already scaling. That is a meaningful difference for anyone evaluating the top crypto to buy this week based on more than just speculation.
Get 50% Bonus $BFX Tokens Before Launch Right now, buyers using the bonus code LAUNCH50 receive 50% more BFX tokens on every purchase, and this offer is tied directly to the final presale stretch before the $15M softcap is hit. To put that into real numbers: a $2,000 investment at $0.035 normally buys roughly 57,142 BFX tokens. With LAUNCH50 applied, that jumps to approximately 85,714 BFX tokens at no extra cost.
At the launch price of $0.050, that allocation is already worth $4,285, a 114% gain before the token is even listed. Analysts are placing post-launch targets at $1 per BFX, which would take that same $2,000 entry to $85,714 in value. That is the kind of early-entry math that makes this one of the top crypto to buy this week conversations worth taking seriously.
Spend $100 or more on BFX and unlock a chance to win a share of the $500,000 Gleam giveaway, with first place taking home $250,000 in BFX tokens.
The window is genuinely shrinking. As BFX closes in on its $15M softcap, the launch sequence begins. Anyone waiting for the right moment should note that this is it. The top crypto to buy this week, based on presale fundamentals, active platform, regulated status, and a live bonus code, is BlockchainFX.
Visit the BlockchainFX website, apply LAUNCH50 at checkout, and lock in the ground-floor price before the next increase hits.
SPX6900 Bounces Hard But the Bigger Picture Stays Cautious SPX6900 pulled off an impressive 10% pump on Easter Monday, bouncing from the $0.27 support zone back toward $0.30 after an 87% decline from its all-time high. The RSI climbed above 70, and the MACD crossed into positive territory, both signs that buying pressure returned in a meaningful way. For a memecoin that had been sliding for weeks, this is a genuine recovery signal and shows the community still has some pulse left in it.
That said, SPX6900 remains well below its key Fibonacci resistance at $0.71, which is the level analysts say must be reclaimed before any real bullish structure returns. The broader trend is still bearish, and the Easter pump looks more like a short-term relief rally than a confirmed reversal. For traders already holding SPX6900, the bounce offers some breathing room, but new entries at this point carry real risk until sustained volume confirms the move.
The Verdict: One Pump, One Launch, One Clear Top Crypto to Buy This Week Based on the latest research and on-chain data, the best crypto presale opportunity available right now is BlockchainFX. SPX6900’s recovery is interesting as a market story, but it is a speculative memecoin still trying to climb out of an 87% hole. BlockchainFX, on the other hand, is a regulated, live, revenue-generating platform sitting $830K away from its launch trigger.
The top crypto to buy this week is not a close call. BFX at $0.035, with LAUNCH50 applied, with a $1 analyst target and a launch date closing in, is the clearest risk-reward play in the current market. Do not sit on this one.

SPX6900 [SPX] was among the best-performing memecoins, with the price gaining over 12% in the past 24 hours.
The memecoin has had an unrealized profit of 47% since the beginning of April, but entered into a correction two days ago. This correction seems to have ended, as the price bounced off the $0.30 zone.
What are key drivers of SPX price? The bounce-off resulted in double-digit gains, with social media buzz playing a huge role in increasing trading activity. As a result, the daily trading volume jumped by 86%, reaching $11.34 million at press time.
As per Crypto Insights, SPX was the most trending memecoin in the past 24 hours on Binance Square. Other memecoins in this sector are Pudgy Penguins [PENGU], Mogcoin [MOG], and TURBO.
Additionally, there was a potential ‘ETH meme season’ attracting speculative capital. Sustaining this social buzz may result in rallies in other Ethereum [ETH] memecoins like Pepe [PEPE].
Moreover, traders were taking more leveraged long positions than shorts. As per CoinGlass, the cumulative long liquidation leverage was $2.70 million, almost 3x the value of shorts.
Most of these buy orders were placed between the $0.27 and $0.30 zones, where the correction ended. The highest liquidation leverage was at $0.27.

Is SPX6900’s correction over? On the charts, SPX6900 price had been bullish since the month started, with market structure creating higher highs and lows. However, this uptrend was overturned at $0.38, with sellers pushing the price down to $0.30.
The correction ended at $0.30, with a break above the neckline of the inverted head-and-shoulders at $0.34. As of press time, the memecoin was approaching the resistance level at $0.38, having recovered more than 90% from the correction.
In support of this uptrend was the On-Balance Volume (OBV) at 371 million, which was rising over the past two days. Moreover, the MACD bars were growing following the signal lines’ crossover.

Therefore, breaking above $0.40 would shift the market bullish, putting $0.70 as a target. Otherwise, failure to breach $0.40 would take the SPX price back to the $0.26 zone.
Final Summary SPX6900 [SPX] rebounded from $0.30, with volume rising 86% to $11.34M and long leverage reaching $2.70M A break above $0.40 could push SPX toward $0.70, while failure may drop the price back to $0.26 support.
