Top Trending Cryptos in the Past 24 Hours
According to recent data from a blockchain analytics firm Santiment, several cryptocurrencies have captured significant social media interest in the past 24 hours. Consequently, making them pivotal in understanding current interest levels and forecasting potential market changes.
Here’re the top trending cryptocurrencies in the past 24 hours:
- Bitcoin (BTC)
- Stacks (STX)
- Cardano (ADA)
- MXC (MXC)
- Litecoin (Litecoin)
- VeThor Token (VTHO)
- HEX (HEX)
Why These Cryptocurrencies Are Trending
The cryptocurrency community is currently buzzing with excitement. Particularly, due to the anticipated decision by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on the approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF. This momentous decision, expected by industry giants like BlackRock and Standard Chartered Bank as early as January 11, could usher in a new era for Bitcoin.
With potential inflows ranging from $50 to $100 billion, it signifies a significant shift in Bitcoin’s perception and adoption.
“I think approval is inevitable and there’s nothing left to decide… This is a big step not just for Bitcoin, but for finance generally,” former SEC Chair Jay Clayton said.

In tandem with Bitcoin’s potential breakthrough, Stacks (STX) is experiencing a surge in interest. This upswing is closely tied to Bitcoin’s trajectory and the notable ratio of its market cap to Bitcoin’s.
Beyond market statistics, there is a growing buzz around practical aspects like wallets, fees, and DeFi, according to Santiment. This underscores STX’s resilience and bullish trend, even amid a generally bearish trend in altcoins.
Meanwhile, Cardano (ADA) continues to make headlines. This is largely due to its innovative smart contract capabilities that offer features beyond what’s currently available on Ethereum.
However, the cryptocurrency is not without its challenges. Concerns rise about its staking mechanism and the impact on ADA’s liquidity and market dynamics, given its focus on long-term holding.
More Altcoins Making Headlines
MXC is also carving out its niche. It is gaining attention for its unique approach to mining sensor tokens and earning International Organization for Standardization (ISO) tokens. However, the community is urged to exercise caution, with reports of scammers posing as admins to steal MXC, a reminder of the vigilance needed in the crypto world.
Litecoin (LTC) is another name gaining traction, especially with the potential approval of a Litecoin ETF. Being classified as a commodity sets Litecoin apart in the race for ETF approval. It highlights its distinct position among other cryptocurrencies.
In the VeChain ecosystem, VeThor Token (VTHO) is gaining momentum, propelled by its integration with VeWorld and the convenience it brings to digital asset swaps. Tweets about VeChain and cryptocurrency trading are buzzing with discussions about VTHO, particularly following its recovery after a recent price dip, catching the keen eye of the crypto community.

Lastly, HEX is attracting attention due to its connection with the PulseChain project and associated cryptocurrency tokens like PLS, PLSX, and HEX. The activities surrounding the PulseChain Sacrifice Wallet, notably its acquisitions of these tokens, are generating excitement about their prospective growth and value in the market.
It is worth noting that the SEC initiated legal proceedings against Richard Heart, the creator of HEX. He has reportedly been evading the authorities since at least August 22, 2023. The SEC claims Heart marketed HEX as an “investment designed to make people ‘rich,’” and sold tokens in an unregistered offering.
“The complaint also alleges that, between at least July 2021 and March 2022, Heart orchestrated two additional unregistered crypto asset security offerings that each raised hundreds of millions of dollars more in crypto assets (…) intended to support the development of a supposed crypto asset network, PulseChain, and a claimed crypto asset trading platform, PulseX,” the court filing reads.
As these cryptocurrencies continue to trend, they offer a glimpse into the diverse and innovative crypto industry. Indeed, their individual achievements and challenges reflect the broader narrative of the market.
