The cryptocurrency market has seen a strong bullish rally in 2024, recovering from the big corrections after the 2021 bull run. This year’s momentum has been fueled by key events like Bitcoin’s halving and the approval of spot ETFs for both Bitcoin and Ethereum, pushing the market upward.
Today, Lookonchain spotlighted a list of 42 cryptocurrencies that outperformed Bitcoin in terms of returns, and memecoins are stealing the show. In fact, out of the top 15 coins, 10 are memecoins, underscoring the growing trend of these playful tokens dominating the market this year.
At the top of the list is POPCAT, the Solana-based memecoin, which skyrocketed by an incredible +7552%. Not far behind is Mog Coin (MOG), boasting gains of 2206%, taking the second spot. Other well-known memecoins, such as Pepe (PEPE) and Dogwifhat (WIF), have also seen significant growth, with PEPE up 466% and WIF gaining 976%, landing them in the 6th and 10th spots, respectively.
Interestingly, the top 10 includes only two non-memecoins: Mantra (OM), representing the RWA (Real World Assets) narrative, and Arcblock (ABT), tied to the infrastructure narrative.
The memecoin craze of 2024 has been remarkable, but investors should remain cautious. Memecoins are known for their high volatility, and while the gains are tempting, risk management is crucial.
