Tron Meme Coins, Hamster Kombat, and More

This week, the crypto sector has been brimming with intriguing developments, from internal conflicts impacting airdrops to rumors of regulatory changes in China. However, Tron meme coins were the talk of the town, dominating the headlines.
That being said, the broader crypto market is attempting a recovery. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at around $61,000, up by nearly 5% in the past seven days. Cardano (ADA) and BNB remained the top performer amongst the top 10 largest crypto assets based on market capitalization.
As of writing, ADA is trading at $0.38, up by 11% in the past seven days. Meanwhile, BNB is trading at $576, up by 10.5% in the same time frame.
Hamster Kombat Internal Conflict
The highly anticipated Hamster Kombat airdrop was shrouded in uncertainty amid internal disputes. Tensions between the game’s developers and investor AD.RU had escalated, jeopardizing the HMSTR token’s future.
Allegations of profit withholding by the game’s creators against AD.RU, who claim a role in the game’s development and funding, have led to legal threats. There were fears that the ongoing conflict may cause an indefinite delay in the airdrop, which was initially scheduled for July.
However, the Hamster Kombat representatives claim that there were some misunderstandings, which are now resolved.
The project’s response has been to deny AD.RU’s involvement in critical decision-making processes and to assert that Hamster Kombat was developed by a diverse, international team without direct investor influence. Despite these assurances, the community remains on edge, with the project’s market perception and future viability at risk.
“We’ve had to get involved in dealing with a situation involving several entities and an investment fund that was led to believe they had a stake in Hamster Kombat. We can now confirm that the misunderstanding has been resolved. Hamster Kombat was built and developed by a distributed international team with no investors. Our primary focus is building our ecosystem and conducting the airdrop,” Hamster Kombat representatives told BeInCrypto.

Tron Embraces Meme Coin Trend with SunPump
Tron’s blockchain has catapulted into the spotlight this week due to its meme coin sector, driven by the SunPump platform. SunPump has facilitated the launch of nearly 32,000 meme coins, generating over 12.8 million (~$2 million) TRX in revenue.
Justin Sun, the founder of Tron, is bullish on the platform’s potential, noting that Tron’s deep liquidity pools—bolstered by $60 billion in TRON USDT—make it an ideal ecosystem for meme coins. Sun predicts that the platform will soon support a meme coin with a market capitalization exceeding $1 billion.
On Wednesday, Tron saw its highest single-day revenue from meme coin activities, with over 3.6 million TRX spent on creation and trading. SunPump’s growing traction showcases its ambition to outpace rival platforms like Solana’s Pump.fun.

Is China Reconsidering Its Crypto Ban?
Over the last weekend, speculation about China potentially reconsidering its ban on cryptocurrencies has captured attention. Rumors started swirling following a cryptic post by Justin Sun, who hinted at an unbanning of crypto in China. This post ignited discussions and excitement within the crypto community, as China represents one of the largest markets for digital assets.
Further fueling these speculations, Chase, co-founder of the Solana Virtual Machine blockchain Molecule, commented that China had “shadow-unbanned” cryptocurrencies years ago, noting that top crypto exchanges like Binance and Bybit are accessible to Chinese users. Such comments suggest that while official policies may not have changed, the practical approach to enforcement might be more lenient, allowing for substantial, albeit unofficial, crypto activities within the country.
“Users can freely register an account today on top exchanges like Binance and Bybit. So, the whales have always been around, but retail users who do not want to step into the grey area will come in. The question is the scale of user influx, and more importantly, the innovation that a move like this can drive given the regulation tailwind,” Chase commented.
The potential easing of regulations could open up vast opportunities for both local and international crypto businesses, possibly leading to a resurgence of mining activities and increased crypto trading within the region. If these changes are implemented, they could stimulate innovation and attract investments, bolstering the global crypto market.
Since last month, PayPal’s PYUSD stablecoin has seen unprecedented growth, emerging as a central topic in the stablecoin sector. After its launch on the Ethereum blockchain in August 2023, PYUSD had steady growth. However, its expansion onto the Solana blockchain in May 2024 has catapulted its adoption and utility to new heights.
PYUSD’s integration with Solana has been particularly transformative, leveraging Solana’s high-speed and low-cost transactions to attract a broad user base. Within just a month of its Solana debut, PYUSD’s supply surged by over 45%, bringing its total circulation close to $1 billion.

This rapid increase is partly attributed to the attractive yields offered on Solana-based DeFi platforms like Kamino and Drift, which provide nearly 20% annual returns for deposits of PYUSD.
The stablecoin’s success sheds light on the PayPal’s strategic foresight in expanding into blockchain technology, aiming to bridge traditional finance with decentralized finance (DeFi). PYUSD stands out due to its backing by PayPal, assuring users of the security and stability of their digital assets.

3 Meme Coins to Watch For The Last Week of February 2025

DOGEai, TST, and BROCCOLI are three meme coins drawing attention for the last week of February. DOGEai, launched on Solana, is up 110% in the past seven days, positioning itself as a leading AI meme coin.
TST remains one of the most popular meme coins on the BNB chain despite a recent correction. At the same time, BROCCOLI, inspired by Binance co-founder CZ’s dog, has also seen significant volatility.
DOGEai (DOGEAI)
DOGEai is an artificial intelligence coin launched on Solana. Its market cap is now $32 million, up 82% in the last seven days. This rise has positioned DOGEai as one of the most talked-about AI meme coins in recent days.

DOGEai leverages multiple narratives, including Dogecoin’s popularity, the growing interest in DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), and the broader AI cryptos trend. It defines itself as “an autonomous AI agent here to uncover waste and inefficiencies in government spending and policy decisions,” offering bill summaries and insights into government expenditures.
If the current uptrend continues, DOGEai could test the resistance at $0.048, with potential targets at $0.059 and $0.069. However, if a downtrend emerges, DOGEai has support at $0.030, and if that level is lost, it could drop to $0.018 or even $0.0092.
Test (TST)
TST has emerged as one of the most popular meme coins on the BNB chain, benefiting from the chain’s growing volume, which recently even surpassed Solana.
In the days following its launch, TST reached a market cap close to $500 million, then entered a strong correction phase. Its market cap has since dropped to $78 million.

If the BNB narrative gains strength again, TST could benefit as one of its most popular meme coins and may test the resistance at $0.10. A breakout above this level could push TST to $0.20 or even $0.25 if buying pressure intensifies.
However, if TST fails to regain strong upward momentum, it could test the support at $0.0719 and potentially drop to its lowest levels since February 9.
CZ’S Dog (BROCCOLI)
BROCCOLI was launched a few weeks ago after Binance co-founder CZ revealed his dog’s name, sparking a flood of BROCCOLI tokens on the market.
The largest of these tokens quickly surged to a $249 million market cap in its early days but has since dropped to $52 million.
Like TST, BROCCOLI benefited from the recent rise of the BNB ecosystem but has since entered a strong correction phase. It is down 40% in the last seven days.

If the downtrend continues, BROCCOLI could test support near $0.04, and a break below this level could push it to its lowest price since launch.
However, if the BNB ecosystem and meme coins regain traction, BROCCOLI could benefit, especially given the popularity of dog-related meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu. In this bullish scenario, BROCCOLI could rise to test the resistance at $0.113.

Ethereum Rollback Debate Intensifies After Bybit Hack

The crypto community is divided over calls for an Ethereum blockchain rollback following a massive security breach at Bybit.
On February 21, the exchange lost nearly $1.5 billion in ETH to hackers, sparking discussions about whether Ethereum should intervene to recover the stolen funds.
What is a Blockchain Rollback?
A blockchain rollback, also known as a reorganization, involves reversing confirmed transactions to restore the network to an earlier state.
This process usually happens after a major security breach or exploit. Validators must reach a consensus to discard the affected blocks, effectively erasing the malicious transactions.
Despite its potential benefits, a rollback remains a controversial and rarely used measure due to its impact on a blockchain’s trust and decentralization.
Blockchains operate on the principle of immutability, meaning transactions are expected to be final once confirmed. So, rolling back transactions challenges this principle, raising concerns about the security and reliability of the network.
Crypto Leaders Clash Over Ethereum Rollback Proposal
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has been vocal in advocating for a rollback to solve the ByBit hack. He pointed to the 2016 DAO hack, where Ethereum underwent a hard fork to recover stolen funds, as precedent.
Hayes argued that since Ethereum previously compromised on immutability, another intervention should not be off the table.
“My own view as a mega ETH bag holder is ETH stopped being money in 2016 after the DAO hack hardfork. If the community wanted to do it again, I would support it because we already voted no on immutability in 2016,” Hayes said.
JAN3 CEO Samson Mow also supported the rollback, stating it could prevent North Korea from using the stolen funds to fund its nuclear weapons program.
However, not everyone agrees. Pseudonymous crypto trader Borovik strongly opposed the idea, arguing that a rollback would jeopardize Ethereum’s credibility and neutrality.
Bitcoin advocate Jimmy Song also dismissed the possibility, stating that the Bybit hack cannot be compared to the 2016 DAO exploit. Song emphasized that the DAO hack allowed for a 30-day intervention, whereas the Bybit attack is already finalized, making a rollback impractical.
“I know people are expecting the Ethereum Foundation to roll back the chain, but I suspect it’s already too much of a mess to do it cleanly,” Song added.
Meanwhile, Ethereum supporter Adriano Feria introduced an alternative perspective. He argued that Bybit could have avoided this situation by using a Layer 2 (L2) solution with conditional reversible transactions.
According to Feria, blockchain technology needs some form of reversibility to ensure real-world adoption.
“Whether through social recovery or another pre-determined, immutable, and transparent decision-making process, real-world mass adoption will not work without reversible transactions. Without this capability, transactional activity will inevitably gravitate toward TradFi systems that already provide it,” Feria stated.
This debate raises a fundamental question for Ethereum: should it prioritize immutability or intervene in extreme cases?
While some see a rollback as a necessary response to an unprecedented loss, others fear it could undermine the core principles of decentralization. Ethereum’s next steps will likely shape its long-term credibility and trust within the crypto space.

Berachain (BERA) Falls 15% After Recent Rally Surge

Berachain (BERA) is down almost 15% in the last 24 hours, with its market cap now at $778 million, although its price remains up nearly 20% over the past seven days. This sharp pullback comes after a strong rally between February 18 and February 20, when BERA reached levels above $8.5.
BERA’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) has dropped from overbought levels, signaling a loss of bullish momentum, while its Directional Movement Index (DMI) shows growing bearish pressure. As BERA navigates this correction phase, it faces key support at $6.1, with potential resistance levels at $8.5, $9.1, and $10 if bullish momentum returns.
BERA RSI Is Dropping Steadily After Touching Overbought Levels
Berachain Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 50.6, down sharply from 86.7 just two days ago when its price surged above $8.5. RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements, ranging from 0 to 100.
It is commonly used to identify overbought or oversold conditions, with values above 70 indicating overbought levels and below 30 suggesting oversold territory.
The steep decline in BERA’s RSI reflects a significant loss of bullish momentum after reaching overbought levels above 86, where a correction was likely.

With RSI now at 50.6, BERA is in a neutral zone, suggesting that buying and selling pressures are relatively balanced.
This could indicate a period of consolidation as the market digests recent gains. If RSI continues to decline below 50, it could signal increasing bearish momentum. This could lead to a further price drop for BERA.
Conversely, if RSI stabilizes and begins to rise, it could suggest renewed buying interest and a potential recovery in Berachain price.
BERA DMI Chart Shows Buyers Are Losing Control
Berachain Directional Movement Index (DMI) chart shows its Average Directional Index (ADX) currently at 50.5, after peaking at 60.2 yesterday, up from just 13.3 five days ago. ADX is an indicator used to measure the strength of a trend, regardless of its direction, ranging from 0 to 100.
Values above 25 typically indicate a strong trend, while values below 20 suggest a weak or sideways market. The sharp rise in ADX reflects a significant increase in trend strength, confirming that BERA has been experiencing strong directional movement recently.

Meanwhile, BERA’s +DI is at 24.4, down from 48.4 two days ago, indicating weakening bullish momentum. Meanwhile, -DI has risen to 15.1 from 4.9, suggesting growing bearish pressure.
This shift signals that the bullish trend that drove prices higher is losing steam, and selling interest is beginning to increase.
If -DI continues to rise above +DI, it could indicate a bearish crossover, signaling a potential reversal or deeper correction in BERA’s price. However, if +DI stabilizes and moves upward again, it could suggest a continuation of the uptrend, albeit with reduced momentum.
Will Berachain Fall Below $6 Soon?
Berachain surged 53% between February 18 and February 20, pushing its price above $8.5 after the coin struggled following its airdrop. However, after this sharp rally, BERA entered a correction phase and is currently down almost 15% in the last 24 hours.
This pullback suggests profit-taking and a shift in market sentiment as buyers hesitate to push prices higher. If the downtrend continues, BERA could soon test the support at $6.1, and a break below this level could lead to a further decline towards $5.48, reflecting increased selling pressure.

On the other hand, if Berachain can regain its bullish momentum from a few days ago, it could rise above $8.5 again, potentially testing the next resistance levels at $9.1 or even $10.
To confirm this bullish scenario, Berachain would need to see renewed buying interest and strong upward momentum. If buyers can defend key support levels and push the price above resistance zones, it could indicate the continuation of the uptrend.
