In a world where digital coins rise and fall like the whims of a fickle lover, Grayscale Research has unveiled its Q2 top 20 global crypto assets list. Among the chosen few are Hyperliquid, Grass, and Story Protocol, each carving out their niche in the ever-evolving crypto landscape. 🌱💸
These projects, as detailed in the latest Grayscale Research Insight report published on Mar. 26, represent the vanguard of decentralized finance, data monetization, and on-chain intellectual property management. A trifecta of innovation, or so they claim. 🚀📊
Hyperliquid (HYPE), with its $5.1 billion valuation, is the darling of on-chain perpetual trading. Its 90-day price volatility of 121.7% suggests that it’s not for the faint of heart. But then again, what in crypto is? 🤷♂️📈
Story Protocol, boasting a $1.5 billion market cap, is the enfant terrible of blockchain-based IP rights and AI applications. With a volatility rate of 417.3%, it’s the wild child of the bunch, making even the most seasoned traders break into a cold sweat. 😅💥
Grass (GRASS), the $300 million AI-powered project, allows users to monetize their browsing data. With a volatility rate of 156%, it’s a testament to the growing data economy—or perhaps just a reminder that nothing in crypto is ever truly stable. 🌾💻
The report also highlights broader market trends, with DeFi giants like Uniswap (UNI), Aave (AAVE), Ethena (ENA), and Lido DAO (LDO) securing their spots. AI-focused initiatives like BitTensor (TAO) and Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) also made the cut, alongside decentralized physical infrastructure networks such as Helium (HNT) and Geodnet. 🏗️🤖
Not everyone was so fortunate. Arweave (AR), Akash Network (AKT), and Jupiter (JUP) were unceremoniously booted from the top 20 list. Grayscale Research, ever the diplomat, noted that these projects still hold value in the crypto ecosystem. A consolation prize, perhaps? 🏆😢
According to the report, crypto valuations took a nosedive in Q1 2025, with technology shares and risky assets also feeling the pinch. Bitcoin, however, remained the stoic elder statesman, with a record 48 million wallets holding at least $1. Monthly active on-chain activity held steady at 11 million, suggesting that Bitcoin is increasingly seen as a store of value rather than a medium for transactions. 🏦💎
Meanwhile, activity on smart contract platforms declined, largely due to a slowdown in memecoin trading on Solana. Despite this, Solana still raked in $390 million in fees in Q1, accounting for nearly half of all smart contract platform revenues. Not too shabby for a platform that’s supposedly in decline. 📉💰
