Today, market analyst Phoenix Group released fresh data showing top crypto assets that recorded strong social engagement and positive sentiment among retail users across various social media channels. The data identified top crypto communities that are highly enthusiastic about certain tokens’ capabilities and offerings. This enthusiastic outlook comes amid increased volatility in Bitcoin and the broader crypto market, heightened by the US-Venezuela tension that limits investor risk appetite and renews the digital asset’s consolidation mood.
The crypto market, which started the new year with strong momentum during the first week of this month, is already witnessing corrections as indicated by Bitcoin and Ethereum prices, which currently trade at 89,859 and $3,101, up 2.4% and 4.1% over the past week, respectively. The corrections reflect inherent volatility in the larger market and increased risk aversion among investors, triggered by macro uncertainty and geopolitical risks surrounding US-Venezuela conflicts.

Top Crypto Assets by Social Activity According To The Analyst
PAAL AI (PAAL)
The analyst identified PAAL AI (PAAL), a blockchain-focused artificial intelligence platform that provides specialized AI tools tailormade for crypto users, as the crypto that recorded the highest social engagements in the last seven days. This shows increased user confidence in the PAAL AI’s platform and customers entering the network to capitalize on its AI agents. PAAL’s price, which currently trades at $0.02739, has been up 134.6% and 59.1% over the past week and month, respectively, an indicator of revamped customer enthusiasm.
Jupiter (JUP)
Jupiter (JUP), a DEX platform built on Solana that enables users to execute cross-chain token swaps rapidly with minimal slippage, followed the list as it experienced the second-highest engagement among social media users, as pointed out by the analyst. Jupiter’s outperformance partly comes from its recent move to launch its native stablecoin (JupUSD), which has been attracting crypto users’ interest. Early this week, January 5, the DEX platform rolled out its stablecoin backed by BlackRock and Ethena’s USDtb.
Unibase (UB)
Unibase (UB), a decentralized infrastructure network that enables AI agents to maintain long-term memory and interoperate across chains, took the third position, as per the analyst. Unibase is witnessing robust user appetite, partly driven by its recent move to provide its advanced decentralized AI memory layer to Blazpay’s AI DeFi platform through a partnership deal. Last week, on January 2, Blazpay integrated Unibase’s decentralized AI memory infrastructure to improve its AI models’ long-term memory and cross-chain interoperability.
Concordium (CCD)
Next is Concordium (CCD), a Layer-1 blockchain network that provides Web3 protocols and DApps with privacy and security in the larger decentralized landscape using identity verification and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) technologies. CCD is also capturing the attention of blockchain users and crypto traders, as reported by the analyst. The traction indicates that Web3 platforms are increasingly using Concordium’s ZKP technology to advance the security of their decentralized networks, while strategic traders are taking advantage of the recent CCD price rally supported by renewed crypto momentum amid the new year.
World of Dypians (WOD)
Fifth on the list is World of Dypians (WOD), a Web3 MMORPG (multiplayer online role-playing game) platform that combines interactive gameplay with DeFi, NFTs, and AI-powered experiences. A good indicator of WOD’s renewed bullishness is the increased number of users currently stepping into the gaming platform. Last week, World of Dypians was among the top six DApps that drew in the highest user activity on the BNB Chain.
Other Top Performers
Other cryptocurrencies that achieved impressive performance, indicated by their reviewed customers’ interest, include World Liberty Financial (WLFI), Sophon (SOPH), Aelf (ELF), Rice AI (RICE), and Beam (BEAM), as further illustrated by the data from the analyst

Why Does Ethereum Price "Rise with Bitcoin but Ignore Fundamentals"? Bitwise Reveals: 65% of Price Movement Determined by Bitcoin
Bitwise's research indicates that Ethereum's price movements are primarily driven by Bitcoin and macroeconomic liquidity, with relatively weak influence from on-chain fundamentals. The model shows that Bitcoin volatility can explain 65% of Ethereum's volatility, while accommodative monetary conditions and ETF fund flows also contribute to Ethereum's price. The current market views Ethereum as a "network commodity," and its price movements in the short term may still be dominated by Bitcoin and the liquidity environment.
