The previous week witnessed an unprecedented rise in Bitcoin's value, which was quickly followed by a whirlwind of activity in the meme coin sector, resulting in new market highs. Despite the price hikes of SHIB and DOGE, the spotlight was on WIF, PEPE, and FLOKI. The focus then pivoted to AI tokens, leading to a downturn in meme coin values. However, with BTC setting a new record by crossing the $71,000 mark, it appears that the market is stabilizing.
A look at the top 5 meme coins by market capitalization showed signs of recovery. Dogecoin (DOGE) was at the forefront, with its price increasing by nearly 3% in the last 24 hours to $0.1775. DOGE's market cap crossed the $25 billion mark, with a 24-hour trading volume exceeding $2.5 billion.
Shiba Inu (SHIB) also showed positive signs. At the time of writing, SHIB's price had risen by 1%, trading at $0.0000345, with its market cap holding steady above $20 billion.
Pepe Coin (PEPE) had caught the market's attention after a dip following its new ATH. However, it seemed to be on the rebound today, with a 3% price increase to over $0.0000090, nearing the elimination of a zero. PEPE's market cap crossed $3.8 billion, securing the 39th spot in volume ranking. PEPE's trading volume over the past 24 hours also exceeded $1.5 billion.
FLOKI (FLOKI) began its ascent not today, but the previous evening. After a 20% increase in the last 24 hours, its price surpassed $0.0002822. During this period, FLOKI's market cap increased to over $2.7 billion.
Bitcoin Soars as WIF Coin Dips
Dogwifhat (WIF) was the only meme coin on the list showing a downward trend. WIF experienced a drop of over 5%, trading at $2.23. WIF's trading volume in the last 24 hours was a mere $359 million.
Turning our attention to Bitcoin, it broke the $70,000 barrier today, setting a new ATH. At the time of writing, BTC was trading at $71,700. Bitcoin's 24-hour trading volume saw a whopping 72% increase, crossing $48 billion, indicating a high level of investor interest.
