The rise of memecoins
The memecoins continue to make their way. Among the most famous, right in mid-July, it was analyzed how Pepe (PEPE) and Dogwifhat (WIF) are recording significant growths, surpassing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.
And in fact, at that moment, the memecoin sector valued at 53 billion dollars, had seen a general growth of 12%, with PEPE and WIF that had increased by 22% and 25% respectively.
At the time of writing, however, the price drops of the main memecoins seem to be greater compared to BTC and ETH.
For example, PEPE and WIF are in a price dump in the last seven days of respectively -14% and -27%, while BTC and ETH are in a dump of -4% and -3%.
Besides the main memecoins and those of makenowmeme, there are other memecoins that since early July have started to become popular on the web.
These are the memecoins inspired by the potential replacements for Joe Biden as the presidential candidate for the Democratic Party. And indeed, within 24 hours, coins like “Kamala Coin” and “Buttigieg Bucks” had recorded a surprising growth.
