đ Shiba Inu on the Verge of Surpassing Cardano in Market Cap
Shiba Inu is making headlines as it nears overtaking Cardano in market capitalization. The gap is shrinking, with Shiba Inu valued at $16 billion and Cardano at $16.22 billion.
The surge in meme coin investments and futures trading indicates that these once-niche digital currencies are becoming significant financial assets.
Earlier today, Shiba Inu briefly overtook Cardano, highlighting the volatile nature of meme coins. While it couldnât hold the position, this shows their potential for rapid growth.
Cardano, once a top contender in the crypto market, is now ranked tenth, facing competition from rising stars like Shiba Inu.
One Shiba Inu investor turned a modest 2 Ethereum investmentâworth $2,625âinto a staggering $1.1 million by selling 48.09 billion SHIB tokens. This 419x gain showcases the high-risk, high-reward nature of meme coins. If sold at the peak in October 2021, the earnings would have surpassed $4.1 million, a return of 156,190%.
As of May 29, meme coins are performing robustly. Their market capitalization increased by 2.74% in 24 hours, reaching $66 billion. This growth reflects a strong market interest in meme coins beyond individual success stories.
Another meme coin, Pepe, is closing in on Polygonâs market cap, with PEPE at $6.29 billion and MATIC at $6.75 billion. This trend underscores the growing acceptance and interest in meme coins as legitimate trading opportunities.
