Smaller tokens lead as bitcoin, sol rally in 'first real bounce of the selloff'
coindesk.com Jul 2, 2026

Smaller speculative tokens are surging as bitcoin BTC$60,449.94 and other major tokens extend Wednesday’s advance. The CoinDesk 20 Index rose almost 5% in 24 hours to its highest in a week, with all members in the green.

Memecore’s M and Audiera’s BEAT have gained 81% and 12%, respectively, making them the best performers among the top 100 coins by market value. At No. 3, Venice Token (VVV) is up 9%.

Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency, added more than 4% to $61,200, and ether (ETH), the second-largest, rose 5%. Solana’s SOL gained 9% as the network unveiled an onchain governance system that requires staking at least 100,000 tokens to submit proposals. XRP is up almost 4%.

"First real bounce of the whole selloff, and it has something behind it," analysts at Marex said in an email. "[Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin] Warsh told Sintra that inflation risks have come down, the July hike bet got walked back, and BTC ripped back over $60k for the first time in a week. SOL is the star, up roughly 16% on the week and leading everything."

Others pointed to the nonfarm payrolls report due later Thursday and President Donald Trump’s introduction of voluntary AI model standards expected next week as key events to watch.
