A few altcoins on our radar this weekend are 1inch, Hyperliq, and Quant.
With the fallout from the Musk-Trump feud already erasing billions from Tesla’s stock, the hope now is that these altcoins can stay resilient.

At the moment, Bitcoin is trading near $105,600, with the overall crypto market seeing a slight bump. Total market cap has edged up by about 1.17%, now sitting around $3.29 trillion. That said, trading activity has tapered off a bit, 24-hour volume is down more than 21%, hovering around $84.9 billion.

Here’s where it gets interesting: June tends to be a tricky month for crypto. Historically, we’ve seen this time of year bring either bursts of volatility or long stretches of sideways movement. And if the past is any guide, the next few weeks could prove to be choppy.  Here are three altcoins we’re watching this weekend:

1Inch Network (1INCH)

1 inch is having a comeback story. Just a couple of months ago, its DEX aggregator market share had sunk to about 32%. Fast forward to May, and that figure jumped to a 60%.

What sparked the turnaround? A well-timed expansion into the Solana ecosystem back in late April. With memecoins driving a frenzy of trading activity on Solana, 1inch was quick to capitalize. The result? $52 billion in total DEX aggregator volume, a new record.

With its 1IP-78 update underway, expectations are high, and analysts eye $0.30 as it trades at $0.2049.One user, Kyledoops, summed it up,

Back in March, its market share had dropped to 32%… but in May? It’s back up to 60%. What changed? A well-timed move to $SOL right when memecoins were going wild. That alone drove $31.5B in volume. Sometimes all it takes is one smart shift to flip the whole narrative.

Hyperliquid (HYPE)

Since hitting the scene late last year, Hyperliquid has been turning heads. The token is currently priced at $37.65, posting an impressive daily gain of over 4.11%. Trading activity is slowing down, volume has dropped 40.5%, falling to $128 million. Despite the pullback, this altcoin is still managing to draw attention.

Analysts have their hopes high in this one. DPool posted an X post emphasizing that, “Hyperliquid is what DeFi promised to be..In my opinion, Hyperliquid it’s a foundational shift in the DeFi derivatives market.” And the numbers back up that excitement. HYPE’s price has jumped 49.9% over the past month and recently hit a new all-time high of $39.93 just over a week ago. For now, the token is holding steady around key support levels of $36 and $33. The next immediate price target sits at $39. If bullish momentum continues, we could see HYPE break through the $40 barrier and potentially push toward $43.

Quant (QNT)

Quant is establishing itself as a key player in the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization sector. According to recent data, over $23 billion in assets have already been tokenized, reflecting growing interest in the space. The number of asset holders has also seen a notable increase, rising 13% over the past month to reach 113,794.

The Overledger operating system, which consists of three core layers, is what’s driving this. The transaction layer, where verified transactions are stored; the messaging layer, which filters and orders messages to ensure compliance; and the application layer, which allows developers to build multi-chain apps.

This comes as the network just introduced the Quant Flow to us. This tool will smooth financial operations by enabling programmable automation for both traditional currencies and digital assets. QNT has seen a noticeable dip in activity over the past day. The trading volume in the past day is down by 42.5%, sitting at just $15 million. The token is also trading 73.15% below its all-time high, currently priced at $114.
