Host: Welcome back to Trending in the crypto world, the podcast where we dive into everything that's trending in the crypto world, from the latest market movers to the industry news shaping the future of finance. I'm your host, Jellyfishezie, and today, October 31, 2024, I’ll be guiding you through what's hot in the crypto space!

First up, let’s jump into the top trending coins on CoinMarketCap right now. These are the tokens that everyone’s talking about, the movers and shakers, and I’m here to break them down for you.

Host: Alright, let’s start with the Top 10 Trending Coins in the market right now. At number one, we have AI Companions—the symbol is $AIC. This one’s up an impressive 23.34%, with a current price of about eight and a half cents. It’s a really interesting project because it taps into the AI niche, and it seems like people are really getting behind it.

Next, we have Hooked Protocol, or $HOOK, coming in at number two. It’s up over 6%, currently priced around 38 cents. This one has been catching some attention lately, and honestly, it could have the potential to keep growing if this momentum keeps up.

Following those, we’ve got some familiar names making the list, like Bitcoin and Ethereum, of course, but the real head-turners today include Grass, Aevo, and Celestia. It’s an eclectic mix, showing that investors are still actively exploring projects that step outside the traditional tokens we all know and love.

And, speaking of sentiment, what’s the Fear and Greed Index telling us? Today it’s at 66, which signals Greed, 📈—yep, there’s that upward arrow we all like to see! This generally means there’s more buying interest in the market, and we might see some positive price action in the coming days if it holds.

Host: Now, moving on to the Top 5 Gainers of the day, where we’re seeing some impressive growth. Topping this list is AI Companions again, as I mentioned earlier, with a solid 23% gain. Then we have Grass and Hooked Protocol—both showing great momentum, followed by Aevo and Bitcoin itself. Yes, Bitcoin is back in the spotlight, and today’s gains seem to be a bit of a Halloween treat for BTC holders.

On the flip side, let’s look at the Top 5 Losers—every coin has its ups and downs, right? Unfortunately, Celestia and Sui have lost some ground today, and we’re seeing Solana and Ethereum taking a bit of a dip too. This can be pretty typical in such a volatile market, though, and a dip doesn’t necessarily mean it’s time to panic.

And lastly, here’s a Crypto News Brief for the day:

Today, we’re keeping an eye on Bitcoin as it inches closer to previous highs. It’s also making a splash in the U.S. election space. We’ve got both major candidates showing more openness to crypto-friendly policies, so the industry could benefit regardless of who wins. The buzz around this is really interesting as it signals more mainstream acceptance for the whole crypto space.
