Top Bullish Performers: HYPE Leads the Charge
The second quarter of 2025 presented a stark contrast in sentiment across the cryptocurrency market, with some communities exuding strong confidence and significant gains while others grappled with deep bearishness and considerable losses. According to the latest Crypto Confidence Index (CCI), hyperliquid (HYPE) was the most bullish, scoring an impressive 88.02 out of 100.
Hype’s surge to the top was primarily fueled by its 203.54% price increase during Q2, driven by buzz surrounding its new decentralized options trading protocol. A remarkable 81.76% of online chatter expressed positive sentiment, reflecting robust investor conviction.
Following HYPE, spx6900 (SPX) claimed the second spot with a score of 85.43. After enduring a steep correction earlier in the year, SPX staged a comeback to end Q2 up by 169.60%. Its community displayed strong resilience, with only 8.8% of online discussions expressing negative emotions.
Pudgy penguins (PENGU) secured the third position with a score of 80.38. Despite facing a significant downturn where it lost more than 90% of its value after reaching an all-time high, PENGU made a dramatic comeback, ending the quarter up 172.48%. This reversal was sparked by the filing of a PENGU-focused exchange-traded fund (ETF) and the launch of its Telegram game, Pengu Clash, showcasing strong community belief and project innovation.

Expert Insight on Crypto Confidence
Remarking on the latest confidence data, Ryan James Boltman, managing editor at CCN, commented:
“With everything that’s happened this year, some investors might be left feeling like they have financial whiplash. That’s why we created the Crypto Confidence Index, a tool to help people cut through the noise and get to the root of how communities and markets really feel about large-cap cryptocurrencies.”
Boltman asserted that the index offers a critical measure of investor confidence, underscoring that a project’s market performance can be influenced by sentiment as much as by its fundamental strengths.
Meanwhile, the most bearish crypto community during the period was gatetoken (GT), which plummeted to a dismal score of just 3.08 out of 100. This was highlighted by a high 30.28% of its community expressing fear, sadness, or anger, coinciding with a significant 31.57% price decline in Q2.
