Days after Binance introduced its pre-listing token selection pool, Binance Alpha, it launched 29 tokens with mixed performances.

Data shared by crypto analysts Sankin shows that out of the listed cryptocurrencies, 17 have seen their values increase while 12 experienced declines.

Small-Cap Tokens Lead the Pack

In a December 23 post on X, Sankin noted a trend where smaller market-cap assets generally performed better than their larger counterparts.

Those with fully diluted valuations (FDVs) below $20 million dominated the leaderboard, with assets like Shoggoth (SHOGGOTH), Frodo the Virtual Samurai (FROG), Bob (BOB), Terminus (TERMINUS), and Numogram (GNON) all achieving gains of more than 100%.

Shoggoth, a Solana-based meme coin that is part of the AI agent sector, took the top spot, skyrocketing 134.66% since its launch on the platform on December 20. Two other meme coins, FROG and BOB, followed with gains of 123.19% and 122.08%, respectively, although FROG has enjoyed an extra day of listing, having been launched on December 19.

Other notable performers included Solana AI agent GNON, whose value went up 104.93%, and Ethereum-based meme coin Terminus, which jumped 104.15%.

Among larger capped coins, the decentralized finance (DeFi) project Odos (ODOS), with a listing FDV of $193 million, recorded the best performance, gaining 65.88% over the weekend. It was followed at 54.77% by another Solana meme coin, Luce (LUCE), and AICell (AICELL), an AI token on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), whose worth increased by 32.10%.

On the flip side, Apx (APX) and Griffain (GRIFFAIN), respectively boasting FDVs of $708.73 million and $242.64 million, suffered the steepest declines. The former blew 28.12% of its value, while the latter followed closely with a 25.41% drop.

A couple of popular Solana tokens, ai16z (AI16Z) and Fartcoin (FARTCOIN), also performed poorly, losing 18.53% and 16.38% in that order.

Fartcoin, which last week hit a new all-time high (ATH), initially had the biggest
