Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Tether, and MultiversX were the most talked-about assets in crypto markets this week, according to analytics firm Santiment.

The platform said Bitcoin once again dominated online chatter, with debates focusing on its role as “digital gold,” its long-term investment case, and growing government and institutional participation. Conversations also highlighted the importance of self-custody and running nodes to secure the network.

Ethereum maintained a strong presence in discussions, often appearing in promotional content for smaller tokens that highlight ether’s transferability and utility. Santiment said this reflects ETH’s continued role as a backbone for how new crypto projects market themselves.

Dogecoin’s rise in attention was tied to two major headlines: Rex-Osprey’s filing for the first U.S.-listed Dogecoin ETF, and Trump-backed Thumzup expanding its mining business with 3,500 new rigs.

Tether drew notice after announcing plans to increase investments across the gold supply chain, with executives describing the metal as “natural bitcoin.” The move underscores the stablecoin issuer’s broader strategy beyond digital assets.

MultiversX discussions centered on token supply concerns and fears of dilution. Some community members expressed unease over projects shifting to chains like Sui, though others pointed to ongoing development of services such as xPortal and xMoney as signs of continued ecosystem growth.
