Wen, MAGA tokens jump as meme coins rise
Solana meme coins have experienced a 10% bump in the sector’s market cap as meme coins jump amid fresh optimism in the crypto market.
Although Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana are in the limelight as whales buy BTC, ETH and SOL, a lot of interest in meme coins has several tokens trending.
Wen has spiked 20%, while PolitiFi token MAGA is up 16% at the time of writing. Donald Trump will speak at the Bitcoin 2024 conference.
Top meme coins by market cap Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Pepe and dogwifhat have also seen their respective prices increase by more than 5% in the past 24 hours.
The broader meme coin market is up 8% to over $56 billion, but as the sector gains, investor interest is on new potential gems.
Poodlana accelerates to $3 million in presale
Poodlana is a new meme coin on Solana that seeks to break into the market riding a blend of crypto culture and FashionFi.
The combination of the global appeal of the fashion market and cryptocurrency’s rising adoption has the poodle-inspired project gaining massive traction just days after its presale launch. Slightly over a week since the 30-day POODL presale went live, the “Hermes of Crypto” has raised an impressive $3 million.
A viral appeal in Asia, where the poodle is a top dog breed, has contributed to this staggering support for Poodlana. However, the project is also captivating the global fashion-centric community and meme coin enthusiasts.
This appeal and the bullish predictions for crypto will catalyse further gains for Poodlana when the project goes live on DEX within an hour of its presale close on August 16.
19 days until POODL hits the trading market and the opportunity to position currently stands at $0.0299.
Notably, this price will jump to $0.0335 in the next stage and again every 72 hours until the final stage. According to details on the project’s website, DEX listing price will be $0.06.
