What crypto is trending?

Screening Filters

1. is_trending = True

   • Purpose: Directly capture cryptocurrencies that are currently showing unusual interest or momentum (e.g., higher mentions, volume, price action vs. recent history).
   • Rationale: Your question is specifically about “currently trending” cryptos. This flag is the core of the screen: it narrows the list to assets that various indicators (volume spikes, price moves, sentiment, etc., depending on the platform) identify as being “in play” right now.

2. market_cap ≥ 100,000,000 (≥ $100M)

   • Purpose: Exclude very small, illiquid, or highly speculative micro-cap tokens and focus on more established cryptocurrencies.
   • Rationale: Many tiny tokens can appear “trending” due to manipulation, thin order books, or a few large trades. Setting a minimum market cap ensures the cryptos in the results have a meaningful size, making “trending” status more reliable and less prone to pump‑and‑dump type noise.

3. turnover_24h ≥ 10,000,000 (24h trading volume ≥ $10M)

   • Purpose: Ensure that only coins with substantial recent trading activity are shown.
   • Rationale: A crypto isn’t truly “trending” if hardly anyone is trading it. A minimum 24‑hour turnover filter confirms that the interest is backed by real liquidity and trading flow, not just price marks or social chatter.

Why Results Match Your Question

• The is_trending flag directly targets cryptos that are currently in focus.
• The market cap and 24h turnover thresholds refine that list to significant, actively traded cryptocurrencies, so “trending” reflects broad market participation rather than thin or easily manipulated names.
