The meme coin market has seen a flurry of activity this week, with several top tokens experiencing significant price movements and shifts in market dynamics.
Let's take a look at how the top ten meme coins behaved.
Dogecoin (DOGE): The original meme coin, Dogecoin, which some people call 'a Bitcoin of meme coins', witnessed a price increase of about 4.93% this week. This resurgence can be attributed to broader market optimism and renewed interest in the crypto sector. But at the end of the week, the luck turned away and the overall result for the week is a slight downturn (-1%).
Shiba Inu (SHIB): Often seen as Dogecoin’s main competitor, Shiba Inu also enjoyed a positive week, with its price rising in tandem with DOGE. The token’s community continues to push for broader adoption and new use cases, keeping it in the spotlight. But the decline here was a bit more significant (-5%).
Pepe (PEPE): Known for its distinctive frog meme, Pepe coin saw a notable price jump of 8.45%. The coin’s recent rally highlights its appeal among meme coin enthusiasts looking for the next big gain. The week ended with going downhill, though (-2,66%). But it is definitely not over for Pepe. Some say this meme coin still has potential to compete with the meme coin leaders.
Dogwifhat (WIF): A standout performer this week, Dogwifhat surged by 20%, overtaking other meme coins like Bonk in market capitalization. This leap is part of a broader trend of meme coins based on the Solana network gaining traction. But the victory hasn't lasted long. The dog meme coin went down for a noticeable 4,3%.
Bonk (BONK): Despite being overtaken by Dogwifhat in previous weeks, Bonk managed to recover some ground, highlighting the competitive and volatile nature of the meme coin market. The week ended with a significant decline (-7,6%). The token’s community remains active, with ongoing discussions about future developments.
Floki (FLOKI): Inspired by Elon Musk’s pet, Floki saw a modest price increase. The token continues to capitalize on its community’s enthusiasm and ongoing marketing efforts, positioning itself as a mainstay in the meme coin world. But the overall decline (-11%) is among the biggest in the top 10 this week.
Brett (BRETT): Brett has been relatively stable this week, with minor fluctuations, up until the weekend when things went south (-15%). The token’s performance indicates a period of consolidation, with investors waiting for the next catalyst to drive prices higher.
Popcat (POPCAT): A cat-themed meme coin, Popcat, saw an 8% rise in the beginning of this week. This growth underscored the ongoing rivalry between dog and cat meme coins, each vying for dominance in a crowded market. But they all went down simultaneously closer to the weekend, with POPCAT seeing sharp decline (-10%).
Mog Coin (MOG): Mog Coin has been on an upward trajectory, gaining 63% in the past month. The token’s rise reflected growing investor interest in meme coins with strong community backing. But things started to get weird this week as MOG suddenly appeared among the leaders in terms of decline (-20%).
Cat in a Dogs World (MEW): This meme coin made headlines with an impressive 86% gain, highlighting the growing popularity of cat-themed tokens. The surge in MEW’s price has sparked discussions about whether we might be entering a new ‘season of the cat’ in the meme coin market. Anyways, MEW not only gained a place in top 10 meme coins by market cap, but it has also become the only one with positive results. MEW gained impressive 24% by Sunday.
