While altcoins are enjoying a strong performance across markets, it is Bitcoin that continues to dominate crypto social media chatter, according to a July 3 report by on-chain analytics firm Santiment.
The platform identified the top five trending keywords in the crypto space—and Bitcoin (“btc”) still led the pack, even on a day when altcoins gained ground.
The term ‘btc’ is trending due to intense discussions about investment strategies involving Bitcoin. Traders and investors are highlighting BTC’s use as collateral for loans, its role in dollar-cost averaging strategies, and its long-term growth potential.
Bitcoin is increasingly being referenced in practical financial decisions—from leveraging BTC for DeFi-based lending to repaying loans with BTC gains. It’s also noted for its foundational role in the crypto ecosystem, often compared and contrasted with Ethereum’s function in smart contracts and DeFi.

Ethereum (‘eth’) Stays Prominent as ETF Interest Grows
The keyword ‘eth’ also made Santiment’s trending list due to Ethereum’s core position in Web3, DeFi, and stablecoin markets.
On social platforms:
Twitter (X) buzzed with updates on Ethereum ETF filings, Fidelity’s exposure, and ongoing SEC commentary—highlighting Ethereum’s increasing institutional traction.
Santiment flagged ‘july’ as a trending keyword because of its importance in crypto trading campaigns, token launches, and market forecasts. July 4th is also tied to special promotions and pre-sale events, making the month a hot zone for speculative activity.
Meanwhile, the name ‘Parekh’ is trending due to online recognition of Soham Parekh, a tech and crypto influencer described as a “10x engineer.” His name is linked not only to startup contributions but also to a new meme token called SOHAM, which has gained traction in Telegram and Twitter communities.
Despite a strong altcoin showing, Bitcoin continues to lead in narrative strength, technical focus, and institutional interest. The ongoing debate around the $110,000 level, combined with renewed attention on ETH ETFs and July trading activity, confirms that crypto market watchers remain laser-focused on BTC as the bellwether for what comes next.
