RIVER coin goes viral: 24-hour trading volume exceeds 3.5 billion, surpassing mainstream cryptocurrencies in trading popularity

2026-01-07 03:06:13

【Blockchain Rhythm】 Recently, the performance of RIVER tokens has indeed attracted a lot of attention. A well-known figure expressed optimism about RIVER on social media, pointing out that the token needs to be listed on more exchanges to expand liquidity. As a result, RIVER’s price quickly reacted, surging from $19 to nearly $26 in a short period, with a single-day increase of 36%.

This is not just a passing trend. The individual continued to call for major exchanges to list RIVER, and the River project team also announced that they received strategic investment from their affiliated fund, indicating a consensus has been formed internally.

From trading data, RIVER’s popularity is already quite impressive. According to platform data, the total trading volume across the entire network in the past 24 hours exceeded $3.5 billion, making it the second most traded asset after top cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH for several consecutive days. More notably, on a major exchange’s derivatives market, RIVER’s daily trading volume reached $2 billion, surpassing the trading activity of popular tokens like SUI, DOGE, and PEPE.

What is the underlying logic? Based on analysis of related articles, this individual’s optimism is rooted in their judgment of the macro liquidity environment in 2026. Their fund has already entered 2026 with nearly full positions, mainly holding BTC, ETH, ZEC, and other mainstream coins. However, to seek returns beyond mainstream assets, they are planning to adjust their strategy—selling some ETH holdings and reallocating to multiple DeFi crypto assets with growth potential. RIVER is clearly included in this growth potential sequence.

The speed of market reactions often reflects the true thoughts of market participants. Whether this wave of momentum can continue depends on the progress of exchange listings and subsequent fundamental performance.

BTC-0,04%

ETH-0,32%

SUI-1,07%

Another story of the "Next BTC," with a 36% daily increase—are they just digging a trap for later investors? --- A trading volume of 3.5 billion sounds impressive, but how much of it is real demand, and how much is funds cutting leeks? --- Famous figures endorsing, funds backing, multi-chain expansion... I've seen this script before. The question is, where is the previous coin like this now? --- The faster it rises, the greater the risk. I'll wait and see if it can stabilize at a high level before making any judgments. --- Wait, this trading volume data looks a bit strange. Can the DeFi ecosystem really support such a large scale? --- Basically, it's just a hype cycle. Whoever dares to take the last shot in the next wave will be the fool. --- Contract daily trading volume breaks records? Then the leveraged liquidation records must have been broken too, haha.

Oh no, it's the same old coin circle god-creating movement. Who shouts, and the price surges—this routine is getting boring. --- 3.5 billion in trading volume? I just want to know how much of it is made up of retail investors getting caught. --- Damn, it's just internal consensus. Just listen and don't take it seriously. --- A 36% increase and you're already excited? Get ready to get crushed, buddy. --- One celebrity's statement can generate such a large trading volume. What does that say? --- Good liquidity is great, but I'm afraid it’s only good until no one is left to take the other side. --- High trading volume in the futures market? Then you need to be even more careful—the leverage explosion is coming.

Once again, a big influencer's single statement can trigger a rally. I've seen this pattern too many times. Oh my, 3.5 billion in trading volume. Can you believe it? Is it just mutual hype? Be careful, high-position bagholders, really.

Another inflated coin, a typical team self-hype script.

It's the same old trick again, as soon as a celebrity makes a statement, it jumps to 26, leaving retail investors as the bagholders. Once again, the crypto circle drama, capital puts on a show while we watch, 3.5 billion in trading volume sounds impressive, but how much is actually flowing in? Wait, is this kind of operation a bit too familiar? Pumping - financing - hype bombardment, the classic three moves. Contract trading volume breaking records ≠ real value, don’t be fooled by the numbers, be careful not to buy the dip only to become the bagholder. This is just hype, a celebrity’s words can blow bubbles, but when will the bubbles burst? A 36% increase in one day, oh my god, how many people are losing out? Is this another harvest season? By the way, is that 3.5 billion real money or just hype data? Do you guys have any proof?

It's the same old story, someone is optimistic, fund investments, trading volume skyrockets... tired of hearing it --- 35 billion in trading volume? That data definitely warrants a question mark. Is it really that easy to manipulate the market? --- RIVER jumps to 26 and wants to run? Or should we wait and see if it can stabilize? --- This coin is supported mainly by celebrity effect, but what about the fundamentals? --- From 19 to 26 in a short time, this move was really exciting, but it also feels very risky --- Listing on exchanges can indeed boost popularity, but the feeling of retail investors taking the bait... --- It's both strategic investment and multiple exchanges, feels like the story is more dramatic than the price increase --- I just want to know how much of this 35 billion is real trading --- People chasing RIVER now, hope for good luck. This rhythm feels a bit strange

Another overhyped coin, politely called consensus, but more honestly it's just coordinated rug pulls.

Here we go again with this routine, celebrities just shout and rush in? Wake up, brothers. --- 35 billion in trading volume sounds impressive, but how many actually make money? --- Wait, who is behind this funding? Feels a bit suspicious. --- Wow, a 36% increase, is this another quick surge? --- Internal consensus is a pretty clever term, haha. --- I just want to ask, could this be the next target to get "rekt"? --- Liquidity itself is just a smokescreen; the key is whether this project is genuine or not. --- What is the underlying logic? Can someone explain clearly? --- The daily trading volume in the contract market is so high... what about the risks? --- Well-known figures promoting products, project teams raising funds—I've seen this script many times.

Here we go again, just one statement from a big influencer and the price surges. I could predict this routine with my eyes closed. Wait a minute... 3.5 billion in trading volume? Is that real? Don’t tell me it’s another fake volume boost.
