As per the data, Bitcoin is the most popular Layer-1 project based on the tremendous social activities that the network gained recently. As stated in the data, the significant rise of market sentiment on the blockchain signifies an upcoming upturn momentum for its prices.

BTC, which currently stands at $121,639, climbed to a new ATH of $126,210.50 on October 7, 2025, after surpassing the former record of $124,480 noted in mid-August. The increase in social mentions about “buy Bitcoin” indicates potential greater investor interest, especially from institutional clients.

Second on the list is the Ethereum blockchain, which is also witnessing increased bullish mentions. The spikes in FOMO on social media reflect that when others see various strategic investors purchasing Ether, they feel the urge the join the bandwagon.

Ether, which currently stands at $4,363.30, is attracting a higher appetite from customers. Especially, the recent news that Jack Ma’s fintech company invested in Ethereum reserves boosted market confidence, especially in Asian markets where Ether acquisition and staking activity are strong.

Market sentiment also signals that investors are significantly turning bullish on Solana. News about a potential integration of Cristiano Ronaldo’s CR7 meme coin into Solana is grabbing attention across the virtual currency market. Despite unofficial communication, the potential launch of the asset has heightened attention on Solana, increasing market activity on the chain.

The Ronaldo Coin, which was built on Ethereum in late August, commemorates the accomplishments and legacy of Cristiano. Solana has turned into a preferred network for meme coin launches and community-driven tokens. Many strategic investors normally take advantage of such token launches for early money-making by positioning themselves for greater price gains.

Finally, resurgent staking inflows into the Solana network indicate increased interest among institutional and retail investors who are pumping funds into staking pools built on the ecosystem.

Fourth on the list is BNB chain, which has been trending due to the meme coin craze on the network and its native token, BNB, reaching new ATH driven by continued investor accumulation. BNB rose to a new ATH of $1,330 this week, on Tuesday, October 8, 2025. And also, multiple meme coins based on the BNB Chain have recently been making investors into millionaires.   

Other top trending Layer-1 projects include ADA, SUI, TAO, CRO, HYPE, and KAS, according to the data above.

Cardano (ADA) settled in the fifth spot with massive bullish comments on social media.

Sui (SUI) followed. The project attracted 8.8k engaged posts and 846.9k interactions over the past week, indicating an increased user enthusiasm for the network.

Bittensor (TAO), Cronos (CRO), Hyperliquid (HYPE), and Kaspa (KAS) are also recording heightened user confidence in their respective networks, as illustrated in the data.
