This Builder Had Enough of Rug Pulls. So He Built PROOF ⚡
While we’re all still waiting on #altseason, a little patience might be needed. But as CZ put it: “Remember, by definition, everything before the next ATH is a dip.” So in the meantime, nothing’s stopping us from dropping serious alpha. Including a brand new episode of AltCryptoCast.
And trust us, you’ll want to catch this one. It’s a special episode. We sat down with JP, founder of Proof. Fed up with rug pulls and shady KOLs, he built a secure and honest platform for fair token launches. You’ll find more on that in this newsletter, or just head straight to the episode.
Are You Watching These Memecoins? 💨
The hottest news? Every Tuesday, we write everything down on X, from the U.S. Senate passing the GENIUS Act to regulate stablecoins to Mexico’s third-richest man, Ricardo Salinas Pliego, increasing his Bitcoin allocation to 70% of his portfolio.
Memecoin Summer? 🪿
We didn’t forget the ‘little guys’ this week. Most memecoins are down 30–50% from their all-time highs. But when they bounce? They won’t walk, they’ll skyrocket. While everyone’s busy chasing “serious” projects, these 8 memecoins are itching for a breakout.
Bitcoin Topped?! 🚨
We also took a closer look at possible top indicators. Every time price cools off, CT lights up with “have we topped?” talk. But here’s the truth: none of the major market top indicators are flashing red. We checked them all: AHR999, Pi Cycle Top, Puell Multiple, MVRV Z-Score, Long-/Short-Term Holder Supply, Mayer Multiple, and more.
So what are they telling us?
✅ Zero top signals triggered
✅ Long-term holders are staying put
✅ Institutions are still buying
✅ No signs of retail euphoria

Fair Launches in a Hype-Driven, Rug-Pull World? PROOF’s Doing It 🎡
In episode 13 of AltCryptoCast, we sit down with JP, founder of Proof. The launch platform powering a new wave of Web3 projects like Morph AI, Privix, and Pineapple. What began as a reaction to shady pre-sales and rug pulls has grown into one of the most trusted token launch ecosystems in the space. During TOKEN2049 in Dubai, JP joined us in our pop-up studio to break down how Proof locks out scammers and opens the door to fair players.
So what makes Proof different? In this episode, JP explains how he went from anonymous trader to architect of a fully transparent launch system. One that shuts the door on pump-and-dump tactics and insider advantages. With over 300 ETH distributed to its community and highly sought-after “PROOF passes”, they mean business. We dig into how JP selects projects, manages hype, and navigates the messy influencer game. Whether you're building or investing, this episode is your roadmap to doing Web3 the right way.
From Top 10 to #43: Can Polygon Bounce Back? 🏀
Once a top 10 titan, Polygon now finds itself at #43. Down, but certainly not out. The pivot from $MATIC to $POL was more than a token swap; it was a bold bet on Polygon 2.0, a sprawling multi-chain vision backed by a “hyperproductive” asset. But not all bets pay off immediately. The zkEVM experiment? Shut down. Hopes for an airdrop? Didn’t happen. Polygon’s momentum took a serious hit.
With co-founder Sandeep Nailwal stepping up to lead the charge, Polygon is entering a new chapter, one focused on getting back to product: “We need to get back to actual product building. Your product has to be good, and people should be willing to pay for it.”
Despite the dip in hype, the numbers speak for themselves. Polygon’s PoS chain is still handling over 1.5 million daily transactions, supports 262+ dApps, and holds a solid $1B in Total Value Locked (TVL). Enough to keep it ranked 12th across all chains. So, what’s next? With 100K Transactions Per Second (TPS) in sight and leadership locked in, the question is whether it can pull off the comeback story crypto never saw coming.
Ceasefire Rally: 5 Altcoins on the Move 🏊♀️
After Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, the crypto market lit up. Fast. BTC surged over 5% in just a few hours after bouncing off the $100K level, flipping short-term momentum back in the bulls’ favor. The daily chart shows a clean rejection at $100K, and as long as that level holds, the trend looks strong. Especially if BTC breaks above the upper red trendline. On the lower timeframe, the 1-hour chart remains bullish while price trades above $103K.
The $100K–$103K zone is the range to watch. If BTC holds above it, it’s trend-following longs all the way on every bearish pullback. The market’s moving again, and that shift in sentiment has sparked fresh interest in altcoins. This week’s watchlist includes ARB, HBAR, MKR, SUSHI, and ZRO.
