Meme Coins Surge on Risk Appetite Rebound
Meme coins are gaining momentum as risk appetite returns to the crypto market. Bitcoin's price surge above $82,000 has lifted investor confidence, causing a rebound in meme coin prices.
The total market capitalization of meme coins rose by 15% week-over-week (WoW), outpacing core assets like BTC and Ethereum. Dogecoin (DOGE) led the pack with a 7% gain, followed closely by Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Pepe (PEPE).
SkyAI (SKYAI) emerged as a new player in the meme market, surging 250% WoW to reach a market capitalization of nearly $800 million. However, industry insiders, including a BONK contributor, warned that this rally may not be sustainable.
