Avalanche is a high throughput smart contract blockchain platform. Validators secure the network through a proof-of-stake consensus protocol. It is said to be fast, low cost, and environmental friendly.

Avalanche

Avalanche (AVAX) is trending amid discussions of significant institutional interest, fueled by its potential for Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization and a new ETF filing that includes staking. Despite some investor frustration over recent price action, the community remains highly engaged, emphasizing AVAX's strong fundamentals, unique subnet architecture, and deflationary tokenomics as key drivers for future growth and adoption. The ongoing debate revolves around the disconnect between these bullish developments and current market performance.

Bonk is a dog-themed memecoin on the Solana blockchain, launched on Christmas Day 2022 to revitalize the Solana community following the FTX collapse. Created by an anonymous team of 22 Solana developers and builders, Bonk distributed 50% of its total 100 trillion token supply via airdrop to community members including NFT collectors, developers, and artists.   The project positions itself as "the first Solana dog coin for the people, by the people," explicitly rejecting venture capital backing in favor of grassroots community ownership. What sets Bonk apart from other memecoins is its combination of fair launch mechanics, extensive ecosystem integration, and active deflationary strategy.   Built on Solana, BONK benefits from fast transaction speeds and low fees that make it practical for everyday use. Native products include LetsBonk.fun (a memecoin launchpad that briefly became Solana's market leader in 2025, surpassing Pump.fun with over 78% market share), BonkSwap (a decentralized exchange) and BonkBot (a Telegram trading bot with built-in burn mechanics).   BONK is available across 10 blockchain networks and listed on major exchanges including Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, and Robinhood. Governance is handled by BonkDAO, which holds 15% of the token supply and makes decisions through on-chain voting.   The community has organized several major burn events, most notably the December 2024 BURNmas campaign that destroyed 1.69 trillion tokens worth over $50 million. In September 2025, Nasdaq-listed Safety Shot, Inc. formed BONK Holdings LLC and acquired over 2.5% of the circulating supply (valued at $55-63 million), making BONK one of the first memecoins to attract formal corporate treasury adoption. Core contributor Nom was appointed to Safety Shot's board, and the company holds a 10% revenue share in LetsBonk.fun.  As with all memecoins, BONK is a highly speculative asset with substantial volatility. Its value is primarily driven by community sentiment, social media momentum, and meme culture rather than traditional utility.   The anonymous team, while common in the memecoin space, means investors should exercise appropriate caution. Despite these risks, Bonk has established itself as one of the most successful community-driven tokens in the Solana ecosystem, approaching 1 million unique holders and expanding from a simple memecoin into meaningful DeFi infrastructure.

BONK

BONK is actively trending following the launch of Europe's first ETP and the anticipation of a 1 trillion token burn as the community nears 1 million holders, fueling optimism for a significant price surge. Many in the community are advocating for "diamond hands" conviction, anticipating a major "alt/meme season" and a "10x run" within the Solana ecosystem. Adding to the bullish sentiment, the token has launched a new Perp dex with revenue allocated to the Bonk DAO, alongside discussions of potential benefits from legal challenges faced by competing platforms.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) is a meme token which began as a fun currency and has now transformed into a decentralized ecosystem. During the initial launch, 50% of the supply was allocated into Vitalik Buterin's ethereum wallet.   As a result of that, Vitalik proceeded to donate 10% of his SHIB holdings to a COVID-19 relief effort in India and the remaining 40% is burnt forever. That donation was worth about $1 billion at that time, which makes it one of the largest donation ever in the world.  What is the Shiba Inu community working on right now? The Shiba Inu team launched a decentralized exchange called Shibaswap with 2 new tokens, LEASH and BONE. LEASH is a scarce supply token that is used to offer incentives on Shibaswap. BONE is the governance token for holders to vote on proposals on Doggy DAO.

Shiba Inu

SHIB is currently trending amid highly polarized community sentiment, with many debating if it's a "bull trap" or a prime "buy the dip" opportunity at perceived low prices. Discussions are rife with calls for a significant "squeeze" and the broader "alt season" narrative, even as others express skepticism and label it a "scam" or a "dead coin." The community remains deeply divided on its immediate future, reflecting ongoing volatility and uncertainty in the meme coin space.

Pepe is currently a hot topic in the crypto community, with many anticipating an upcoming "alt season" reminiscent of past meme coin rallies. Enthusiasts are actively discussing accumulating more PEPE during market pullbacks and holding for substantial growth, fueled by strong collective belief in the coin's potential. The prevailing sentiment indicates expectations for significant upward momentum, as traders look for major breakthroughs.

Oil giant Shell (SHEL) announced on Wednesday that it will need to refile its financial statements in the U.S. and U.K. after its auditor, Ernst &amp; Young, was found to have violated mandatory rotation rules intended to preserve auditor independence.Despite the news,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SHEL">Shell’s stock</a> was up nearly 1% in pre-market trade. However, retail sentiment on Stocktwits dipped to ‘neutral’ territory from ‘bullish’ a day ago as chatter also tempered to ‘high’ levels from ‘extremely high’.&nbsp;Due to the breach, Shell said that Ernst &amp; Young’s (EY) audit opinion for those two years can no longer be fully relied upon under U.S. law. It plans to amend its SEC filings for those years.&nbsp;The company stated that EY has replaced the audit partner and issued updated opinions, which remain “unqualified,” indicating that there are no major issues with the reported numbers.&nbsp;The update comes after the Big Four accounting firm was fined £325,000 ($445,000) in April by the U.K.’s Financial Reporting Council (FRC) for auditing listed company Stirling Water Seafield Finance for more than 10 years without publicly retendering for the contract.The FRC is reviewing the new case and may decide to launch a formal investigation, according to a Financial Times&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ft.com/content/3c64ed46-fc82-4ce3-ae63-7d26036e2cec">report.</a>EY acknowledged the error, said it had taken corrective action, and emphasized that no financial results need to be revised.The auditor made $66 million from Shell-related work in 2024, according to the company’s annual report. Despite the breach, Shell hasn’t said if it will drop EY, though shareholders will vote on whether to reappoint the firm at next year’s annual meeting. Before the incident, Shell stated that it plans to retain EY for another decade.Piper Sandler also raised its price target on Shell to $83 from $80 on Wednesday, while maintaining an ‘Overweight’ rating on the stock as per TheFly. Analyst Ryan Todd said the upward revision was part of a broader update to the firm’s second-quarter estimates for integrated oil companies, reflecting recent movements in commodity prices, refining margins, and minor adjustments to operating assumptions.For Shell specifically, Piper increased its Q2 earnings per share and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) projections by 14% and 10%, respectively, citing higher assumed crude oil prices as the primary driver. The company is scheduled to report its Q2 earnings on July 31, after the bell.&nbsp;Shell’s stock has gained over 13% this year but fallen more than 2% over the past 12 months.&nbsp;(Exchange rate: £1 = $1.37)For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/tesla-china-made-ev-sales-break-8-month-losing-streak-in-june/chF0jLfRTpD">Tesla’s China-Made EV Sales Break 8-Month Losing Streak In June: Stock Rises Pre-Market</a>

Amid an ongoing revenue dispute with Mali, Barrick Gold’s temporary shutdown has retail investors on Stocktwits questioning the company’s future operations in the region.

Barrick Gold Corp.

Barrick Gold Stock Dips On Mali Gold Seizure Amid Revenue Dispute: Retail Divided

Mali's interim gold seizure order marks the latest escalation in a dispute with Barrick over revenue distribution from the Loulo-Gounkoto mine.

Barrick Gold Corp. (GOLD) stock was down more than 1.5% in mid-day trading on Monday after the company issued a one-week ultimatum to Mali's government to lift restrictions on gold shipments. Otherwise, the company would suspend its operations.While the company is still restricted from shipping gold from its Loulo-Gounkoto mining complex in Mali – one of the largest gold mines in the world – an interim attachment order has now been issued against the existing gold stock on site, further preventing its export and disrupting normal operations.&nbsp;&nbsp;Barrick labeled the order “unwarranted” and claimed it violates agreed-upon dispute resolution mechanisms.CEO Mark Bristow emphasized that the inability to ship gold not only hinders operational efficiency but also affects the broader economy, including the livelihoods of 8,000 employees and numerous local service providers."Barrick remains committed to constructive engagement with the Government of Mali to resolve the existing disputes amicably," Bristow said.&nbsp;He reiterated that the company has initiated arbitration through the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) to address the disagreements while upholding the integrity of its existing agreements.“If this issue is not resolved within the coming week, Barrick will have no choice but to temporarily suspend operations at Loulo-Gounkoto,” the company said in a statement.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/GOLD"><img style="aspect-ratio:1299/296;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2025_01_06_130634_d0dbc94fb0.png" alt="Screenshot 2025-01-06 130634.png" width="1299" height="296"></a><figcaption>Barrick Gold Corp.
