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.

AMLBot launches AI Tracer for self-service blockchain investigations

AMLBot, a crypto forensics firm, has launched "AI Tracer," a self-service blockchain analysis tool. It automates the tracing of visible fund movements from a starting transaction hash across multiple blockchain networks, following funds through bridges and multiple wallets. The AI matches encountered wallets against known entity labels like exchanges. The tool is designed to simplify investigations for users like journalists, researchers, and law enforcement, removing the need for specialist software or deep expertise. It offers a free check with paid plans for higher usage. However, it cannot track internal exchange transfers, determine payment intent, freeze assets, or guarantee recovery; its reports are an investigative starting point, not a legal replacement. Currently supported networks include Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, Cardano, Ripple, and several others.

Stocks Fell Even More Violently Than Crypto, Where Did the Money Go?

From June to late July 2026, global stock markets, particularly technology and semiconductor stocks, experienced severe declines, with South Korea's KOSPI index facing historic circuit breakers and shedding 40% from its June peak. Key catalysts included SK Hynix's earnings miss despite record profits and competitive pressures from China's CXMT IPO. A global forced deleveraging event unfolded, devastating highly leveraged instruments like the 2x leveraged SK Hynix ETF, which lost over 80% of its value. Surprisingly, Bitcoin showed relative stability during this period, rising roughly 15% from its July low. The article clarifies this wasn't due to an inflow of equity flight capital but because Bitcoin had already undergone a significant correction in May and June, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs seeing record outflows. True safe-haven flows went to gold, severing Bitcoin's short-term "digital gold" narrative. The sell-off is characterized not as an AI story collapse but a liquidity-driven清算 of crowded leveraged positions, potentially halfway through according to some analysts. For substantial capital to return to Bitcoin, the article cites necessary conditions: eased global liquidity pressure, a soft-landing Fed rate cut, and regulatory clarity from the stalled U.S. CLARITY Act. The conclusion is that Bitcoin is not a current safe haven but a pre-cleared asset. Its decoupling from tech stocks highlights its potential future role as a non-correlated asset for institutional portfolios, positioning it favorably for when global capital reallocates post-crisis.

Cryptocurrency Project Backed by 140 Companies, Including Visa and BlackRock, Launched! This Giant Altcoin Was Chosen!

A new generation stablecoin project called Open USD (OUSD), aimed at institutional investors and backed by a consortium of over 140 companies including Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, and BlackRock, is preparing for launch. Initially launching on the Ethereum platform, OUSD is positioned to simplify corporate transactions using digital dollars. The project, led by Open Standard, aims to allow businesses to issue and exchange OUSD without fees or volume limits. A notable feature is its reserve revenue-sharing model, which plans to distribute earnings from OUSD reserves to ecosystem partners after deducting operational management fees, presenting a different approach compared to some existing major stablecoin models. The launch on Ethereum is seen as significant for further solidifying the platform's leading role in institutional finance, particularly for applications involving stablecoins, real-world assets (RWA), and tokenization.

US Imposes Sanctions on Iranian Crypto Service Hormuz Safe for Bitcoin Payments

The U.S. Department of the Treasury, via OFAC, imposed sanctions on two Iranian companies, Persian Gulf Marine Insurance Company (PGMIC) and Hormuz Safe Marine Services Authority, accusing them of operating a sanctions evasion scheme involving maritime insurance paid for with cryptocurrencies. The action also targeted eight vessels and eight companies allegedly part of Iran's "shadow fleet." OFAC stated that Iranian authorities forced commercial vessels to purchase mandatory insurance for passage through the Strait of Hormuz. The Hormuz Safe platform, launched in May 2026 with involvement from Iran's Ministry of Economy, allowed policy payments in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which the U.S. claims enabled Iran to generate revenue and circumvent sanctions. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent condemned Iran's attempts to "hold global trade hostage" and fund activities of the IRGC. Furthermore, OFAC sanctioned shipping companies and tankers accused of transporting millions of barrels of Iranian oil to China, the UAE, and other destinations despite international restrictions. All designated assets under U.S. jurisdiction are now blocked, and transactions with them by U.S. persons are prohibited. These sanctions come amid reported diplomatic outreach from the U.S. to Iran, which has so far gone unanswered by the IRGC.

"The Final Phase Before the New Cycle". What Will Happen to Bitcoin in August

"Bitcoin Faces Crucial Test in August: Experts Predict Consolidation or Further Decline" The price of Bitcoin (BTC) is expected to remain under pressure in August, with experts anticipating either consolidation within a narrow range or a potential drop below $60,000. Despite a double-digit recovery from its July low near $58,000, BTC ended the month trading around $63,500, still roughly 50% below its October 2025 peak of $126,200. Analysts cite several headwinds: a challenging macroeconomic environment with high US interest rates and persistent inflation, which makes fixed-income assets more attractive than speculative ones like crypto. Furthermore, competition for capital is intense, with many investors favoring AI-related stocks. This is reflected in significant outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs, with a record $4.5 billion leaving in June and a net outflow of $5.4 billion for the first half of the year. Historically, August is a weak month for crypto, with a median return of -7.49% from 2013 to 2025. Experts also note regulatory uncertainty in the US, particularly the stalled CLARITY Act, as a dampening factor. Despite the bearish near-term outlook, several experts view the current phase as the "last phase before a new Bitcoin cycle" begins, potentially in Q4 2024. This makes it a favorable time for accumulating Bitcoin for the long term. Key price levels to watch are support at $60,000-$61,000, with a break below $58,000 potentially leading to $53,000-$55,000. A move above $67,000 could target $70,000-$75,000, though this is considered a lower probability scenario.
