Data services tokens, such as ARKM, BTT, and GRT, were also above the 20% threshold, as their weekly weighted average growth touched 23.3%.

A similar movement was registered by native tokens from decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, which dominate 15.5% of X’s mindshare, but performed below the market average in the last seven days by reaching 12.7%.

Moreover, Kaito AI highlighted that Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) tokens have been a growing narrative in crypto, leaping five-fold among crypto investors’ discussions.
