While the broader crypto market experienced a weak second quarter, with Bitcoin (BTC) pulling most major digital assets down, three tokens stood out as shining stars: BRETT, TON, and KAS.
BRETT, a memecoin native to the Base Chain, more than doubled in price, becoming the top performer among the top 100 coins. The meme coin sub-sector as a whole surged over 45%, driven by investor enthusiasm and a rotation of profits from larger coins.
TON, the native cryptocurrency of the TON blockchain, saw a 42% rise, fueled by Telegram's integration of TON payments and the growth of its decentralized app ecosystem. TON's daily active addresses even surpassed Ethereum's in June.
KAS, a proof-of-work (PoW) blockchain aiming to solve the blockchain trilemma, gained traction due to its innovative GHOSDAG technology and support from investors who believe in its potential to enhance scalability, decentralization, and security. KAS also received a bullish boost from Marathon Digital's decision to start mining it.
Looking ahead to the third quarter, experts suggest that Bitcoin mining stocks, artificial intelligence, gaming, and DeFi sectors could witness growth. Despite the historically weak performance of the third quarter, strong fundamentals and real use cases could continue to drive performance in these sub-sectors.
