Gem Hunter Thoughts

We bring you the best thoughts from top gem hunters and assign a score to their bullishness. 1 being max bearish and 100 being max bullish.

Bullishness Score: 85 (13.3% 24h ฮ”)

Let's dive into what the gem hunters on ct are eyeing over the past 24h.

@anger_trading is bullish on $SOV, seeing it as an undervalued project within the SovrynBTC ecosystem that's just starting to gain attention, and he's mocking the concept of a "fair launch" in the space. He also hints at $BTC-related projects being a dominant narrative this year, suggesting a connection between $SOV and $BTC developments.

@ChadCaff is all about $MAGNET, praising its consistent delivery and fully working product, suggesting the price will soon reflect its solid fundamentals.

@defi_antcrypto is deep-diving into $VEC, drawing parallels to $OHM and speculating on its potential, highlighting improved mechanics, liquidity bootstrapping, and pre-bull status. He's staking his $VEC and waiting for the right moment to sell, possibly when yield screenshots flood the market.

@Crypt0_Andrew points out a trend where new CEX launches and liquidity bootstrapping pools (LBPs) are the smart plays, with $VEC among others being the tokens to watch. However, he warns of potential dilution and performance issues as more LBPs launch.

@ItsAverageJO is buying into $SMT, seeing opportunity in the wake of an exploit, and is also discussing new partnerships in the sector that could signal the next wave of institutional capital involving KYC.

@BlocksNThoughts is keeping an eye on $LYVE, a lending platform on @LineaBuild, and he's also highlighting the potential of gaming products to overperform in the bull market.

@Govanisher expresses gratitude to those who sold $CAD, as he's taken the opportunity to increase his position.

@CryptoKaduna lists his top bags as $INJ, $TAO, and $KAS, and shares info about the $INJ burn auction.

@crypto_popseye is scouting new launches and is particularly interested in projects like $INSC, $VEC, and others within the Bitcoin ecosystem, such as $10n8BRC20 and @OrangeCryptoHQ.

@TheEuroSniper is excited about $ZIG and has also sniped a BRC20 launch, $ODGN, which focuses on cross-chain swaps.

@0xdetweiler is holding onto a community-run blockchain project on @0LNetwork, praising its no-VC policy and consistent volume.

Overall, the tokens with the most buzz are $SOV, $MAGNET, and $VEC, with $VEC being the standout due to its potential as a liquid restaking play and its connections to $OHM.
