Top Memecoins Including PEPE, WIF, and Brett Trading in Red- Here is Why

Date: Tue, July 23, 2024, 5:05 PM GMT

Today in the cryptocurrency market, the memecoin sector is seeing a downturn in prices. Top memecoins like PEPE, WIF, BONK, BRETT, MOG, MEW, POPCAT, PONKE, TURBO and TRUMP are all trading in the red.

Here’s Why:

1. Ethereum Spot ETF:
   Today was a big day for the crypto world as the Ethereum Spot ETF trading began. However, the price of Ethereum dropped to $3,400, down by 1.47%. This is a classic example of “Buy the Rumor, Sell the News.” Usually investors sell off on this kind of big event, which leads to a to a price drop.
2. Mt. Gox:
   Bitcoin ($BTC) is trading under $66,000, experiencing a slight decline of 1.83%. This drop comes as the defunct crypto exchange Mt. Gox initiates another significant transfer of its assets today. The transaction, worth over $2.85 billion, involves moving Bitcoin between wallets. A portion of this transfer was sent to the crypto exchange Bitstamp, a move historically linked to market sell-offs.

These factors are contributing to the current downturn in the cryptocurrency market, impacting not only Bitcoin but also various memecoins. Keep an eye on further developments to understand the full impact on the market.
