During May 2024, the crypto sector witnessed a surge in investments totaling 1 billion dollars, with Ethereum emerging as the dominant force in the market. A recent report by KuCoin Research indicated a 10.61% increase in investments compared to May 2023, despite a marginal decrease from the previous month. Institutional investors continued to show interest in Ethereum, EVM-compatible chains, and layer-2 networks known for their scalability in decentralized applications within the evolving blockchain ecosystem. Alongside Ethereum, non-EVM chains like Bitcoin, Solana, Fantom, and The Open Network (TON) also attracted significant investments amounting to 1.2 billion dollars in May, highlighting their growing popularity and unique offerings. Retail investors, concerned about market trends like low float and high fully diluted valuations, turned to memecoins and celebrity-associated tokens as accessible alternatives to high-value tokens with limited circulation. Notcoin (NOT) exemplified this trend, experiencing a surge in popularity during May due to its distinct launch strategy and impressive trading volumes, surpassing USD Coin (USDC) to become the fifth most traded cryptocurrency. Notcoin's price hit a record high of $0.02896 on June 2, driving its market cap over 2 billion dollars. Although there was a slight reduction in overall crypto investments compared to the previous month, the confidence in Ethereum and its technologies remained resilient in May. The future outlook for cryptocurrency investments remains uncertain but promising, reflecting the ever-evolving nature of the crypto market.
