2024 is officially the year of the degins. CoinGecko traffic analysis revealed that memes captured 31% of investor attention. This means that every third user prefers DOGE and PEPE over BTC.
Solana, which hosts tokens such as BONK, WIF, POPCAT, and PNUT, still dominates the sector. Base is the runner-up with a coin market capitalization of $2.6 billion.
Other crypto trends this year include artificial intelligence (who would have thought), real assets (RWA), gaming, and layer 2 solutions.
Cats over dogs, memes over NFTs
The broader “meme coin” narrative captured a 14.36% share of CoinGecko users’ attention. Solana meme coins were the fourth most interesting, grabbing 7.65% of the spotlight, while Base meme coins came in at the bottom with 2.13%.
Shockingly, cats have supplanted dogs and frogs – talk about man’s best friend! While dog coins boast a market cap of $74 billion, tokens like POPCAT, MOG, PURR, and MEW have piqued people’s curiosity this year.
But not all investors are turning to speculative assets that promise quick riches. The AI narrative came in second, followed by RWA and the Solana ecosystem overall. The Base, Sui, and TON networks have also caught the attention of the community, which is reflected in the performance of the BASE, SUI, and TON tokens.
Last year, the hottest topic was artificial intelligence. The Solana ecosystem was also popular, unlike Base, Sui, and TON which never got close to the top 20. NFTs fell out of fashion – and the novelty of having a pixelated monkey image quickly wore off without any benefit.
In reality, 96% of NFTs They are now “dead”. Zero trading and social media activity. We are enticed and amazed (not really).
WEPE is leading a revolution to democratize trade
Giants like PEPE have brought their holders huge gains this year. But the growing interest in memecoins is also evident from the performance of new projects.
Specifically, the price of Pepe Unchained (PEPU), which recently generated $70 million in pre-sale, rose more than 540% shortly after its listing and became the single most visited token on CoinMarketCap.
Another project that is quickly becoming mainstream is Wall Street Call (WEPE). It currently retails for $0.0003655 in pre-sale, approaching $36 million.
The Wall Street Baby is waging a campaign against insider trading. Its goal is simple – to democratize investing in cryptocurrencies and equip small fish with the knowledge needed to take on the whales and crush this rise.
Early adopters can stake their WEPE at 36% APY to maximize potential returns. 27% of the total token supply is allocated to various Toad Army rewards, and another 38% is for marketing because only in this way WEPE can assemble the thirsty Dejin Legion.
The next price spike will happen in just a few hours, so there will be no better time to join the WEPE mission. To purchase WEPE, visit Pre-sale website (Be aware of scams and use the official link only!) Connect your wallet and pay with ETH, USDT or bank card.
Meme coins prove their value
CoinGekko reports It proves that meme currencies are no longer overpriced, short-lived, and useless – at least not all of them. Projects like Wall Street Pepe focus on education and community building, which goes beyond the old narrative and makes it one of the top memes of 2024.
However, don’t take our word for it. DYOR, diversify, don’t fall for FOMO. Because if we’ve learned anything from past market cycles, it’s that a cold mind is the most valuable asset.
