According to BlockBeats, on December 8, the cryptocurrency market research firm Santiment shared insights on social media, highlighting subtle breakthroughs among several meme coins over the weekend. Tokens such as Dogecoin, Pepe, Dogwifhat, and Bonk have shown increased activity, with whale wallets potentially driving up market capitalization over an extended period. This trend is expected to continue until retail investors, driven by fear of missing out (FOMO), re-enter the market.The analysis suggests that once the general public becomes aware and starts investing heavily, these large holders, or 'whales,' may begin to sell off their holdings. This pattern often leads to a subsequent price correction shortly after the initial surge. The behavior of these whale wallets plays a significant role in the price dynamics of meme coins, as their large transactions can significantly impact market trends. The current situation indicates a strategic movement by these whales, capitalizing on the market's volatility and the psychological tendencies of smaller investors. As the market observes these developments, the potential for price fluctuations remains high. Investors are advised to stay informed and cautious, considering the historical patterns of whale activity and its effects on meme coin valuations. The ongoing situation underscores the importance of understanding market dynamics and the influence of major stakeholders in the cryptocurrency space.

According to Binance data, PEPE surged past 0.000026 USDT in the early hours, reaching a new all-time high of 0.00002694 USDT with a market cap exceeding $11 billion.

According to CoinDesk: In response to a pro-crypto sentiment following Donald Trump’s recent election victory, Robinhood has expanded its cryptocurrency offerings, adding Solana (SOL), Pepe (PEPE), Cardano (ADA), and XRP to its platform. This addition comes as the industry anticipates a regulatory shift, with Trump’s administration likely to replace key figures at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) known for their stringent stance on digital assets.With the inclusion of these new assets, Robinhood now offers trading in 19 cryptocurrencies to U.S. customers. The expansion aligns with Coinbase’s recent move to also add PEPE, signaling a broader trend among exchanges to expand crypto offerings as the market anticipates clearer regulatory guidelines.Trump’s administration is expected to foster a more favorable regulatory environment, easing restrictions and possibly removing SEC Chair Gary Gensler, who has been critical of the crypto industry. Gensler’s SEC has previously targeted crypto exchanges for allegedly offering unregistered securities, prompting Robinhood to delist certain assets, including SOL and ADA. The recent additions of these assets may indicate renewed confidence in the regulatory outlook.In a statement, Robinhood’s VP and General Manager of Crypto, Johann Kerbrat, said, “We’ve consistently heard from our customers that they want access to more digital assets, and we’re excited to continue expanding our crypto offering.” The crypto industry remains optimistic that Trump’s presidency could provide much-needed clarity around digital asset regulations, encouraging further innovation and growth.The market reacted positively, with slight gains in the newly listed assets and Bitcoin hitting a new all-time high above $91,000, signaling increased confidence from investors in a more supportive regulatory landscape.

According to Cointelegraph, Dogwifhat (WIF), the largest Solana-based memecoin by market capitalization, has continued its recovery that began on Sept. 8. WIF has surged approximately 112% from its Sept. 6 low of around $1.4, reaching a four-month high of $2.97 on Oct. 16. Currently, WIF is trading at $2.63, marking a 3% increase over the past 24 hours and a 76% rise over the last 30 days.Dogwifhat's bullish performance aligns with similar upward trends in other top memecoins such as Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Pepe (PEPE), which have seen gains of 23%, 9.8%, and 9.2% respectively over the past week. Among these, WIF has shown the most significant monthly gains, with a 30-day return of around 76%, surpassing DOGE's 34% and SHIB's 43%. In 2024, WIF has achieved year-to-date returns of approximately 1,392%, second only to Turbo (TURBO), a ChatGPT-coded memecoin that surged by around 4,570%. These substantial gains have likely attracted investor interest, leading to increased buying pressure.The rise in WIF's price over the last 30 days coincides with a significant increase in its open interest (OI). OI, a key metric for assessing market sentiment, rose by 50% from $322.2 million on Oct. 4 to a five-month high of $480.2 million on Oct. 15. Additional data from CoinGlass indicates growing demand for leveraged long positions in WIF, as shown by the OI-weighted futures funding rate. The current 0.0068% eight-hour rate translates to a 0.14% cost over seven days, suggesting that futures traders are bullish and expect further price increases.From a technical perspective, WIF's price action since early September has formed an ascending parallel channel on the daily chart. The lower boundary of the channel at $2.50 serves as immediate support, while the relative strength index (RSI) at 59 indicates favorable market conditions for further upside. Increased buying from current levels could push WIF's price to confront resistance at the middle boundary of the rising channel at $2.91. If it surpasses this level, WIF could reach the upper boundary at $3.42, representing a 28% gain from the current price. However, futures traders remain cautious, with $22.92 million in short positions at risk of liquidation if the price recovers to $3. A 5% decline to $2.5 would result in $3.84 million in long positions being wiped out.This article does not contain investment advice or recommendations.
