Notcoin Hits a New All-Time High After a 320% Weekly Gain

Notcoin (NOT) gained 320% over the past week, reaching an all-time high of $0.02896 on June 2. As a play-to-earn game and token integrated into Telegram as a Mini App, Notcoin has attracted over 30 million users within two months, contributing to its rapid adoption and growth. Since its listing on the Bybit exchange on May 16, NOT has risen over 200%.

Ethereum Worth $3B Exited Exchanges Since ETF Approvals

Since the May 23 approval of spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the US, over $3 billion worth of Ether has been withdrawn from centralized crypto exchanges, signaling a potential supply squeeze. Approximately 797,000 Ether, valued at $3.02 billion, was moved off exchanges between May 23 and June 2, indicating that investors are opting for self-custody over immediate selling.

This has brought the percentage of Ether held on exchanges to a multi-year low of 10.6%. Analysts, including Bloomberg's Eric Balchunas, suggest Ether ETFs could launch in June, potentially driving Ether to surpass its all-time high of $4,870 due to increased demand, similar to the impact seen with Bitcoin ETFs. Currently, Ethereum is trading at -3.64% in the last seven days.

Data of the day

According to data by The Block, in May, nearly 455,000 tokens were launched on the Solana blockchain, driven by low entry barriers and the available liquidity for memecoins. This substantially outpaced other blockchains like Ethereum Layer 2 Base with 177,000 tokens and BNB Chain with 39,000 tokens.

Solana's design as a general-purpose Layer 1 blockchain, featuring fast finality, high throughput, and minimal transaction fees, has facilitated this trend. The surge in token creation is largely attributed to the ease of use provided by platforms like Pump.fun, which allows users to create tokens with a few clicks.
