TOP 10 FASTEST GROWING APPS IN CRYPTO HISTORY 📊 |
Remember last week when we covered the importance of revenue as a metric? |
TL;DR: revenue is hard to fake → follow apps with growing revenue → find winners. |
Ok, neat! But there are a bunch of apps that are growing revenue… |
How do we rank them amongst each other and pick which (if any) deserve our research/attention? |
One trick is to look at who’s growing their revenue the fastest, then get to digging. |
For example – say you take a look over the ‘Top 10 Fastest Growing Apps of All-Time’ chart to see if there are any new names jumping out at you… |
|
And say you find yourself asking questions, like… |
What the hell is Axiom? How did it just flip Pump(Dot)Fun to become the 3rd fastest growing app of all-time? And why haven’t I heard about it? |
So you do some research and find out that… |
Axiom is a Solana-based trading platform that’s trying to make memecoin trading faster/easier – with built-in wallet tracking (so you can track what whales are buying) and Twitter sentiment analysis. |
(Great feature set + booming sector = revenue go up.) |
But sadly… |
Axiom doesn’t have a token, so investing in the project isn’t an option. |
That said… |
Axiom is a strong candidate for a potential 2025 token launch, which means making some Solana-based trades on Axiom to try and qualify for a potential future airdrop might not hurt. |
…or you could just stick to using Milk Road Swap, ‘cause it’s way, WAY easier to use. |
Either way, you will have learned something. |

| | I know, I know. Life insurance = snooze fest. | But hear me out for a sec – this one’s different: | Meanwhile's BTC Whole Life insurance product lets you benefit by allowing you to borrow money from your policy as a tax-free loan. | Here’s how it works: | Say you pay into the policy today when Bitcoin is at $100K Fast forward to 2035… and Bitcoin’s at $1M (nice!) You borrow a Bitcoin from your policy and sell it right away for $1M cash The best part? No capital gains tax on the $900K appreciation | Pretty neat, huh?

MEMECOINS = KILLER ONBOARDING TOOL? 🤨 |
“Tacky, off-putting, but serves a purpose” |
Was this: |
A) An unprompted character assessment of our General Manager, Tyler, given by our new intern, Archie? |
OR |
B) Archie’s take on the memecoin sector, after reading Gemini’s 2025 ‘Global State of Crypto Report’? |
If you answered: C) All of the above – you’d be correct! (No, we don’t have HR. Yes, we’re working on it.) |
Here’s what swung Archie’s opinion on memecoins: |
94% of memecoin holders own other types of crypto – that’s no real surprise. |
But check out this chart… |
|
Yuh. Roughly 20-30% of those same memecoin holders purchased memecoins before anything else! |
Translation: for a significant portion of users, memecoins were their gateway drug into crypto. |
The takeaway? It may feel a little tacky/off-putting – but the memecoin sector serves a purpose. |
And that purpose is (apparently) to onboard a good chunk of new users. |
|
