FOMO in Full Force: Layer3 Leads CoinGecko's Trending Altcoins With a Sizzling 145% Pump

CoinGecko just dropped the list of altcoins that have traders scrambling to their search bars like it's 2017 all over again. The platform's trending ranking reflects the most searched crypto assets over the last 3 hours, with low-cap projects showing some particularly spicy price action—because nothing says "I need to get rekt" quite like a random Twitter mention at 3am.

Layer3 absolutely stole the show, surging over 145% in the past 24 hours. That's the kind of move that makes degens furiously refresh CMC while questioning every life decision. Pudgy Penguins and Siren also caught plenty of attention from the crypto curious—because nothing beats scrolling through trending lists while pretending you're still "doing research."

Oh, and in related news: a prominent analyst made the bombshell claim that numerous major altcoins—some pretty well-known ones—were apparently cooked up by North Korea. Yikes. Nothing like finding out your portfolio might be secretly funded by Kim Jong-un. Suddenly that "diamond hands" meme hits different.

Here's the full breakdown of the most searched assets and their market caps:

Layer 3 (L3) – $30.36 million Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) – $382.64 million Siren (SIREN) – $378.23 million Palladium Network (PLLD) – $43.93 million Bitcoin (BTC) – $1.34 trillion Solana (SOL) – $45.70 billion StakeStone (STO) – $39.82 million Ethereum (ETH) – $248.48 billion edgeX (EDGE) – $323.39 million Bittensor (TAO) – $2.85 billion Core (CORE) – $32.88 million Ondo (ONDO) – $1.22 billion Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET) – $515.63 million Sui (SUI) – $3.35 billion Hyperliquid (HYPE) – $8.47 billion
