Top trending coins in India

Trading patterns on Indian exchanges mirror global themes. According to Economic Times’ crypto price panel, the following coins attracted the most attention on 8 Sept 2025:

  • Worldcoin (WLD): up ~21.4 % in 24 hours as AI‑identity adoption expands.
  • Dogecoin (DOGE): gained ~6.76 % on renewed meme‑coin enthusiasm.
  • Provenance Blockchain (HASH): advanced ~6.58 % amid growing asset‑tokenisation demand.
  • Kinetiq Staked HYPE (HYPE): rose ~5.78 %, reflecting interest in synthetic‑asset staking.
  • Hyperliquid (HYPERLIQUID): increased ~5.69 %, supported by liquidity‑mining incentives.

These figures reflect Indian rupee‑denominated prices and illustrate local traders’ preference for high‑beta projects with strong narratives.

Other crypto market updates

  • Regulatory developments: The Indian finance committee’s VDA briefing suggests that clearer taxation and reporting rules may emerge. Investors should monitor any announcements following the meeting.
  • Global flows: Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded $246 million in net inflows last week, the second consecutive week of gains. This underscores rising institutional participation. Conversely, Ethereum spot ETFs saw a net outflow of $788 million.
  • Major news: Tokyo‑listed Metaplanet purchased 136 BTC (~$15.2 million), bringing its holdings to 20,136 BTC and boosting year‑to‑date yield to 487 %.
  • Sector rotation: AI‑related tokens (e.g., SOMI, Worldcoin) and meme coins led gains, while smaller gaming and DeFi tokens lagged. Increased interest in AI tokens may continue as artificial‑intelligence adoption grows.

Key crypto coins to watch

  1. Bitcoin (BTC): Consolidation above $110 k suggests underlying strength. Watch for sustained ETF inflows and macro‑economic triggers such as US inflation data.
  2. Ethereum (ETH): Consolidating; upcoming upgrades and institutional adoption could spark volatility. Declining volumes hint at caution.
  3. Somnia (SOMI): With triple‑digit weekly gains, it represents both opportunity and risk. High intraday ranges require tight risk management.
  4. Worldcoin (WLD): Indian traders have driven interest, but regulatory scrutiny surrounding biometric data may add uncertainty.
  5. Hyperliquid (HYPE): A DeFi‑perp exchange token; trending locally thanks to yield farming. Monitor platform developments.

Crypto market outlook for tomorrow

Market sentiment remains cautiously optimistic. Bitcoin’s ability to hold above $110 k and Ethereum’s resilience near $4 k provide a constructive backdrop. However, several factors could influence the next session:

  • Regulatory announcements: Any insights from the Indian finance committee’s VDA meeting may affect local sentiment.
  • Macro events: Upcoming US economic data and Federal Reserve comments could impact risk appetite. A continuation of ETF inflows would favour a bullish scenario.
  • Sector rotation: AI‑themed and meme‑coin rallies may pause as traders lock in gains. Look for capital rotation into layer‑1 tokens or DeFi protocols.
  • Volatility in small‑cap tokens: The sharp declines in OIK, TOMI and G3 highlight fragility in low‑liquidity coins; caution is warranted.

Overall, the crypto market in India continues to show robust participation against a backdrop of global recovery. Investors should remain aware of regulatory developments and manage risk, especially when trading highly volatile altcoins.
