TL;DR

  • Santiment’s latest ranking shows which cryptocurrencies have accounted for the most development activity over the past 30 days.
  • Interestingly, Bitcoin (BTC) is not included in the top 10 list, while Ethereum (ETH) is at the bottom.

The Latest Ranking

The crypto market intelligence platform – Santiment – revealed which digital currencies have been most active in terms of development frequency over the last 30 days. Optimism (OP), Cardano (ADA), and Hedera (HBAR) are those placed in the first three spots, while Polkadot (DOT) and Kusama (KSM) rounded up the top 5 list. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization – Ethereum (ETH) – was placed ninth. 

“Our platform pulls notable github activity from project repositories via a back-tested process to ensure only a team’s significant efforts to innovate and improve are included,” Santiment explained.

Earlier this year, ADA topped the same ranking, leaving behind DOT in the second spot and KSM in the third. BTC was not included in the top 10 list (just like the latest data shows), while ETH claimed the tenth position.

ADA and DOT Price Outlook

Both cryptocurrencies have performed quite well on a seven-day scale, witnessing price spikes of 11% and 14%, respectively.

Earlier this month, the popular X user Ali Martinez presented a chart showing that ADA’s valuation “is exactly where it should be.” He believes the token is poised to reach $1.70 as long as it enters the $0.55-$0.80 range. Currently, it hovers around the $0.50 mark (per CoinGecko’s data).

Those interested in exploring additional ADA price predictions, please take a look at our dedicated video below:

DOT was also projected to reach new heights in the near future. The X users World of Charts, CRYPTOWIZARD, and CryptoYoddha envisioned a rally towards the $15-$20 level. 

Michael van de Poppe and Flash went even further, revealing they have added Polkadot’s native token to their personal portfolios.

For the First Time in History: Bitcoin Spot Market ETF Decides to Close Down!

Hashdex, a cryptocurrency asset management company, has announced the closure and liquidation of its U.S.-traded spot Bitcoin ETF, the Hashdex Bitcoin ETF (NYSE Arca: DEFI). This makes DEFI the first spot Bitcoin ETF to be shut down in the United States. According to filings with the SEC, the fund's assets under management were approximately $14.7 million as of July 30, 2026. Hashdex cited factors such as the fund's small size, low trading liquidity, operational costs, investor demand, and the company's overall product strategy for the decision. The low net assets relative to expenses made continuing the fund economically unviable. DEFI was designed to track the daily price movements of Bitcoin by holding physically stored Bitcoin. Investors can sell their shares on NYSE Arca until the close of trading on August 17, 2026. After this date, Hashdex will liquidate the fund's remaining Bitcoin holdings. Investors who have not sold their shares by then will receive a cash distribution around August 28, 2026, equivalent to their shares' net asset value on the liquidation date. The final payout amount will depend on the sale price of Bitcoin, closure-related fees, and potential price volatility during the liquidation process.

Breaking Through the $4,200 Resistance Level! Gold "Reset" Complete, Possibly Ushering in the Best Window for Gains in Months

Gold has achieved its most critical technical breakthrough in months. The price has broken through the descending trend line and held above $4,200, with multiple positive factors converging: technicals, a weakening U.S. dollar, continuous gold purchases by the People's Bank of China, and CTA net short positions. Analysis suggests that if key price levels can be sustained, it could trigger short covering and follow-through buying from programmatic funds, propelling gold into a new round of upward momentum.

Single-Day Surge of 4%! Gold is the 'Brightest Asset' in the Overnight Market

Gold staged a robust rally overnight, with spot gold prices touching $4,328, skyrocketing 4.2%—marking the largest single-day gain in five months—and simultaneously breaking through a six-week descending triangle consolidation pattern. Goldman Sachs identified the return of Chinese capital as the 'most important immediate trigger' for this round of market movement. Donald Trump's remarks on the Strait of Hormuz ignited geopolitical premiums, while global central banks' gold purchases in Q2 surged 62% year-over-year to a record high, with South Korea re-entering the market after 13 years. Combined with expectations for a cooling Fed rate hike cycle, bullish forces for gold are regrouping.

Fed’s Cook says she’d support rate hike if disinflation stalls

Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook stated she is prepared to support raising interest rates if U.S. inflation does not show continued signs of decreasing. Speaking at an economic event, Cook emphasized that inflation remains too high, with risks tilted more toward price stability than employment. While noting a recent decline in the annual inflation rate to 3.5% in June 2026, she cautioned against over-relying on a single data point. Cook highlighted that the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index remained at 3.7%, nearly double the Fed's 2% target. She warned that prolonged above-target inflation risks becoming entrenched in economic behavior, making it harder to control. Her stance signals potential pressure on crypto and other high-risk assets if the Fed tightens policy.

Investors Begin 'Switching Tables'

Investors Begin to “Change Tables” A notable shift is occurring in China's venture capital landscape. While the hard tech sector, especially AI, experiences a funding frenzy with record-breaking investment rounds, many investors are opting to leave traditional investment firms to join portfolio companies. This movement, termed "changing tables," marks a departure from past downturns where such moves were often a last resort. Currently, the trend is driven by proactive choice. Seasoned investors, including partners and managing directors, are being lured by attractive salaries, equity incentives, and core roles like VP, General Manager, or even co-founder at fast-growing startups in hot sectors like AI, embodied intelligence, and aerospace. This "going ashore" to companies is seen as a strategic career move. The shift is a two-way street. Booming fundraising and feverish investment activity have created intense competition among VCs for a narrow set of "star projects." Simultaneously, these high-flying tech companies, engaged in rapid, multi-round financing, urgently need talent with deep capital market expertise and institutional connections to manage their complex funding needs. Companies like Zhiyuan Robot, MoonDark AI, and MiniMax are actively recruiting from investment firms. For investors, the move also reflects concerns about the sustainability of the current market. Risks like valuation inversion between primary and secondary markets, high IPO破发 rates, increased regulatory scrutiny, and the uncertainty of eventual exits are prompting a reevaluation of the traditional VC path. While this transition offers new opportunities, it is not without challenges. Success requires adapting from evaluating companies to operating within one, focusing on execution over analysis. Nevertheless, this trend underscores the expanding career boundaries and fluidity within China's innovation ecosystem.
