The social pulse of crypto right now is wild. Proof is in the top 20 coins by social mentions over the last 24 hours.

Here's what half a million conversations are telling us:
The leaders (no surprises here):
$BTC: 190,817 mentions
$ETH: 87,406 mentions
$SOL: 70,185 mentions
$XRP: 22,291 mentions
$DOGE: 12,532 mentions

But the interesting stuff is further down:
$ZEC is having a moment over controversy over a core dev team resigning, sending mentions are through the roof.

$WHITEWHALE came out of nowhere. This thing was basically invisible 6 months ago and now it's cracking the top 20.

$TAO getting a Binance Japan listing pushed it up 15% in weekly buzz.

And $PUMP is dealing with a RICO lawsuit that has everyone talking.

Overall crypto sentiment sitting at 83% positive. That's the highest we've seen since May.

Social chatter tends to lead price action. Pay attention to what people are actually talking about.
