Runesthe new fungible token standard on Bitcoin, sparked excitement among enthusiasts when it was launched in April in the middle of the four-year period Bitcoin halving event. But less than a month later, the initial impact appears less monumental than many Bitcoin supporters expected.

The launch of Runes saw an immediate flurry of activity, with hundreds of ticker tokens launched within the halving block. But demand has fallen partly due to expectations and amid a cooling cryptocurrency market that has seen a broader price decline in recent weeks.

Data from Satellite screener indicates that six of the ten most traded runes have seen a decline in trading volume over the past seven days, ranging between 20% and 57%. In terms of the number of runes engraved, data from Dune shows that incision has declined significantly since early May, from thousands per day in late April to just hundreds per day of late.

On social media the discussion on Runes is divided. Many expected that the trading experience would be closer to trading established tokens like EthereumERC-20 and not blocks of tokens pre-split by users. This made them feel more like they were trading NFTs rather than fungible tokens, with the early state of the technology creating another hurdle for early traders.

But a small but vocal group of users continues to actively trade Runes amid the decline, even some of them admit that there is a cooling of enthusiasm after the Bitcoin halving event.

So, what’s next for Runes? Market observers were quick to draw parallels between Runes and NFT-likes Sort them—both created by Bitcoin developer Casey Rodarmor—highlighting a similar pattern of initial hype followed by a gradual decline in activity.

Others believe that runes may follow a similar maturation arc. Similarly, the previous Bitcoin token standard BRC-20 saw an initial wave of enthusiasm before a quieter period with less hype and demand, followed by a surge in value and trading activity. However, Runes have been touted as a more “efficient” upgrade to BRC-20, so early trade issues may also dampen short-term momentum.

“Users new to Bitcoin may have been disappointed that the experience is not dissimilar to BRC-20, and far from the advancements many have touted in their timelines in recent months.” FarmerJoe0xthe founding pseudonym of Puppy Tokensaid Decipher.

“That said, several opportunities appear to be forming, such as rune bridges at level 2 of Bitcoin [networks], as well as Solana,” they added. “Demand for Bitcoin tokens is proving strong on centralized exchanges and it can be assumed that when the tokens are accessible in the trading experience desired by most cryptocurrency users, we will see significant volumes, possibly on other chains, towards these tokens. “

Yoonsup ChoiSenior Business Development Manager at Magic Eden, shared with Decipher that although he had observed the decline, it had been predicted. Magic Eden came out early as one of the most important trade destinations of the runes, so he has a stake in their future. Choi remains confident that the Bitcoin fungible market has significant upside potential.

“The rune trading UI will only get better, updates can be made to the protocol, and marketplaces like Magic Eden are investing in improving the UI/UX every day,” he said. “While the UI/UX may never reach SOL or EVM layer-2 meme coin trading, the transparency and immutable appearance of Runes may be another way that Runes find [their] place.”

Choi added that meme coin launches are often plagued by internal team issues, such as sniping, distribution across multiple wallets, and lack of clarity regarding the use of funds. The Runes Protocol addresses many of these concerns.

“Runes offer complete transparency in their creation, including details on pre-mining rates and minting criteria,” Choi explained.

Despite this cooling period, the Runes remain in their infancy, and advocates argue that it is too early to rule them out. The technology is still evolving, and as the community becomes more familiar with Runes’ features and the ecosystem matures, there is potential for renewed interest and growth.

Furthermore, rune transactions are continues to dominate Bitcoin in recent times, although some of the hype has waned. Previous Bitcoin innovations such as Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens took some time to find broader commercial interest and considerable demand, but both ultimately secured substantial market fit. The cryptocurrency world is watching closely to see if (or when) this happens with Runes.

Meme Tokens Surpass Bitcoin in Turkish Trading Activity This Year

Meme Tokens Surpass Bitcoin in Turkish Trading Activity This Year

The Turkish cryptocurrency market has seen significant growth in recent years. Currently, more than half of the population invests in cryptocurrencies, according to surveys and polls.

This is evident from the fact that the Turkish Lira (TRY) is the fourth most used fiat currency in cryptocurrencies. Several macroeconomic factors are fueling this crypto adoption in the country. Therefore, stablecoins and meme coins have emerged as the favorites of Turkish investors, even surpassing Bitcoin.

Stablecoins and meme coins dominate Turkish trade

According to the latest relationship According to Kaiko, Turkey’s inflationary conditions have significantly increased stablecoin usage in recent years. In 2024, the research firm found that USDT-TRY dominates as the largest trading pair by volume on Binance, reaching over $22 billion, more than five times larger than the next largest pair, PEPE-USDT, which has $4 billion.

Notably, meme tokens have surpassed Bitcoin in terms of trading volume this year, indicating that Turkish traders are also turning to more speculative cryptocurrencies to hedge against currency fluctuations and make profits.

The increased usage of stablecoins is further reflected in the main Bitcoin trading pairs on BTCTurk, which are BTC-USDT and BTC-TRY.

One of the main reasons driving the adoption of cryptocurrencies is Turkey’s fight against double-digit inflation and the currency devaluation for years, with an average inflation rate above 40% over the past five years. In response, the central bank adopted an unorthodox monetary policy, cutting rates until June 2023. However, this worsened the devaluation of the Turkish lira, which lost more than 300% of its value from the end of 2020 to the end of 2023.

Turkey’s decision to normalize its monetary policy after the 2023 elections failed to restore confidence in the TRY, whose value continued to decline in 2024, albeit less rapidly.

Binance Sees Strong Expansion in Türkiye

Amid economic challenges, Binance has strengthened its position as one of the two largest trading platforms for Turkish traders, thanks to deep liquidity and low fees. As part of a large-scale zero-fee campaign, it offered zero fees for BTC-TRY trading between July 2022 and March 2023.

Offering a wide range of TRY-denominated trading pairs and aggressively adding new pairs in recent years have helped Binance maintain its leadership in the country despite the 2022 cryptocurrency bear market. Binance introduced 61 new TRY trading pairs in 2024 alone, bringing the total number to over 200.

Other exchanges, such as Gate.io, KuCoin, and OKX, have jumped into the Turkish crypto ecosystem, but their overall market share remains less than 1%.

Eight altcoins rally 10+% as volatility swings market

Brett, the largest meme coin in Blockchain Base, rose more than 12% on Friday, as sentiment in the cryptocurrency and stock sectors improved.

Brett (BRETT) the token rose to $0.133, up 31% from its low this month. Some traders believe the meme coin has more upside potential in the future.

Analyst is bullish on Brett

In an X-post, Michael van de Poppe, a trader with over 721,000 followers, said he is optimistic that the token will rise to $0.1712, up 30% from Friday’s trading level.

If he is right, Brett’s market cap will surpass Floki’s (FLOKI), which has a market capitalization of $1.7 billion.

Brett’s bounce came at the start of the Bitcoin 2024 conference today. In a statement at the event, Robert Kennedy, an independent presidential candidate, noted that he is a big supporter of Bitcoin (BTC).

The main protagonist of the event will be Donald Trump, leading in most polls, included in Polymarket. Trump is expected to reiterate his support for cryptocurrencies. Analysts are divided on whether he will announce a Bitcoin reserve at this event.

Blockchain Base is doing well

Brett token also recovered as Base blockchain ecosystems continued to perform well. Launched in 2023 by Coinbase, Base has accumulated over $1.6 billion in DeFi assets, making it the sixth largest chain in the industry. It has surpassed popular networks like Cardano (ADA), Avalanche (AVAILABLE) and Polygon (MATIC).

At the same time, Brett and other altcoins jumped as the U.S. stock market rebounded, signaling that investors have embraced risk-on sentiment. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose more than 600 points, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 jumped more than 80 basis points.

Technically, Brett formed a morning star pattern, which is a popular reversal sign. In the past, the coin has risen by double digits when it has formed this pattern. For example, it formed on July 12 and then rose by 40%.

On the other hand, this bounce could be a dead cat bounce, where an asset briefly rises and then resumes its downtrend.
