Crypto chatter is heating up again as the weekend kicks off, and data from on-chain analytics firm Santiment shows six tokens dominating social media discussions, including Nexo, GameStop (GME), Clanker, Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), and Solana (SOL).

Here’s the key reason why these 6 coins are trending.

Santiment’s real-time social analytics highlight these tokens as this weekend’s top conversation drivers.

Nexo Faces Mixed Reactions Over Policy Updates

Nexo is a premier digital assets wealth platform, leading the trend list after its latest platform update that introduced a $500 minimum earning balance for savings accounts and adjusted APY rates. 

Santiment reports that these changes are driving conversations about sustainability, convenience, and potential impacts on investor earnings, with debates covering fixed-term rate reductions, loyalty programs, card availability, and overall platform performance.

GameStop (GME) Short Squeeze Still Captivates Investors

The GME token is back in focus as traders on Reddit and other platforms revisit the historic GameStop short squeeze that changed retail trading forever. 

Santiment reports that users are analyzing GME’s market behavior, comparing it to other stocks like BYND, and debating lessons for retail trading culture and institutional responses.

Clanker Emerged as a Top Gainer

Meanwhile, Clanker (CLANKER) has emerged as a surprising top gainer, with strong trading activity on XT.COM and KuCoin. The token’s link with the Base ecosystem and its no-code deployment tools are attracting traders and developers alike, signaling growing utility beyond hype.

Stablecoins Take the Spotlight: Tether and USDC

Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) are trending for opposite reasons but equal momentum. Sanitment reports that Tether (USDT) has reported $15 billion annual profit and plans for a U.S.-compliant stablecoin (USAT), highlighting its growing influence.

Meanwhile, USDC is trending for its expanding integrations in DeFi and treasury management tools, reaffirming its reputation as the stablecoin for serious traders.

Solana’s Growing Trading Sentiment

Finally, Solana (SOL) is trending due to frequent mentions of market cap, liquidity, and holder counts on social media. According to Santiment, these discussions reflect active trading interest and ongoing engagement from the crypto community.

As of now, Solana SOL is trading around $195, reflecting a jump of 1% seen in the last 24 hours.
