“Crypto Trending Now: Santiment Flags BTC, ETH, DOGE, USDT & EGLD as This Week’s Stars”

Crypto analytics platform Santiment reported Friday that Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE), Tether (USDT), and MultiversX (EGLD) were the most-discussed assets across social media and crypto forums this week.

Bitcoin led the conversation, with users debating its role as “digital gold,” its long-term investment potential, and increasing institutional and government involvement. Discussions also highlighted the importance of self-custody and node operation in securing the network.

Ethereum featured heavily in promotional materials for new tokens, reflecting its ongoing importance in shaping how projects present transferability and utility to crypto audiences.

Dogecoin drew attention after two major developments: Rex-Osprey filed for the first U.S.-listed Dogecoin ETF, and Trump-backed Thumzup expanded mining operations with 3,500 new rigs.

Tether caught the spotlight for plans to increase investment across the gold supply chain. Executives described gold as “natural bitcoin,” signaling the stablecoin issuer’s intention to diversify beyond purely digital assets.

MultiversX discussions focused on potential supply dilution and project migrations to other chains, such as Sui, while noting ongoing ecosystem work on services like xPortal and xMoney.
