Analysts of the CoinGecko platform reported that the most popular narrative among traders and investors in the past year was not Bitcoin, but memcoins, which in total captured more than 30% of the attention of market participants.

In the study, the authors took into account user traffic on the portal from January 1 to December 21, 2024. According to the results obtained, memcoins accounted for a 14.36% share of traffic. However, if all categories are taken into account, for example, mentions of memcoins in connection with the Solana network, then the total share will be 30.67%, experts indicated.

The second most popular narrative was projects with artificial intelligence (15.67%). In addition to direct interest (12.58%), user queries related to five other related categories.

Tokenized real-world assets also attracted investor attention in 2024 (R.W.A.). With a score of 8.64%, this topic took third place in the ranking.

The Solana network had a total share of 14.3%, although a significant portion of the share came from network-related memcoins. In the Base blockchain, the share of total interest reached 4.87%, and Ethereum with 1.82% was ahead of Sui (1.04%) and TON (0.85%), the authors of the study summarized.

Earlier, Santiment experts said that the Bitcoin traders’ sentiment index had dropped to its lowest level in a year, which could be explained by the asset’s price recovering above $100,000.
