The memecoin sector in the cryptocurrency market is taking the lead, showing impressive gains and a rapidly growing market cap. In the past 30 days, the total market cap of memecoins surged by a stunning 36%, rising from $41.49 billion to $56.46 billion. This highlights the ongoing craze around these playful yet high-reward digital assets.
Interestingly, top memecoins like DOGE, SHIB, and PEPE haven’t yet regained their upward momentum, but newer entrants are quickly gaining ground. These freshly launched tokens are attracting attention from both large-scale investors (whales) and everyday retail traders, sparking significant growth.
New Memecoins on Rise
Three standout memecoins—Goatseus Maximus (GOAT), Gigachad (GIGA), and Fwog (FWOG)—have been making waves. In the last 30 days alone, GOAT soared by an astonishing 450%, GIGA climbed by over 200%, and FWOG jumped by 100%, marking them as hot picks for memecoin traders.
Whale Spends $5.46M in Memecoins
Amid these strong rallies, a major whale has made a massive move today, pouring millions into these three memecoins. According to Lookonchain, a blockchain monitoring service, the whale created a new wallet, withdrawing 32,695 SOL (worth $5.46 million) from Binance and investing it into these memecoins:
- 18,000 SOL ($3 million) was used to purchase 6.95 million GOAT ($3.39 million) at $0.43.
- 11,750 SOL ($1.96 million) was spent on 31.71 million GIGA ($2.08 million) at $0.062.
- 2,900 SOL ($484,000) was used to buy 1.98 million FWOG ($457,000) at $0.24.
More Gains Ahead?
With such a large whale move, many are speculating whether further gains could be on the horizon for these rising memecoins. While the sector has been notoriously unpredictable, the recent surge in interest and capital could signal more upside ahead for GOAT, GIGA, and FWOG.
