Research on the Spillover Effect of Meme Coin Market: From Zero to Hero
A recent study published in the "Economics Letters" analyzed the event of a well-known politician issuing a Meme coin, revealing the heterogeneous volatility spillover effects driven by market sentiment and fundamentals. The study found that political signals amplified speculative dynamics, highlighting the significant role of political factors in shaping the cryptocurrency market and investor behavior.
Introduction
Political dynamics are increasingly influencing financial markets, and the cryptocurrency market has become a significant arena where politics and finance intersect. The 2024 U.S. election further highlights this relationship, as a certain Republican candidate has turned to support digital assets, claiming to make the U.S. the "crypto capital of the world" and placing cryptocurrency at the core of the economic agenda. The market thus anticipates a more friendly policy stance during his term.
These are expected to be achieved on January 18, 2025, and the candidate is in Sol

How an absurd encryption coin became the new favorite in the market
Against the backdrop of the current sluggish cryptocurrency market, a token named Fartcoin has risen against the trend, becoming one of the few mainstream coins to increase in the first quarter of this year.

CS:GO Item Market: The Reenactment of a Crypto World Story
Recently, as the hype around Meme coins gradually fades, some speculators have turned their attention to the CS:GO skin market. These former "Meme hunters" have transformed into "skin flippers," viewing CS:GO skins as a new wealth code.
CS:GO was released in August 2012, and the following year introduced the weapon case and skin system, allowing for market trading, laying the foundation for the cosmetics economy. After years of development, the CS:GO cosmetics market has remained prosperous.
However, in May 2025, the CS accessory market suddenly collapsed. The accessory index plummeted 20% within three days, and the prices of several popular trading varieties were nearly halved, sparking heated discussions among users. This scene of market collapse is all too familiar to those who have experienced the crypto world.
Players who have gained stable profits due to skin appreciation for a long time lost their happiness overnight. This has been hyped up.
