Top Meme Coins Post Double Digit Losses Amid Crypto Market Rout
Meme coins plunged over the last 24 hours, hit by the one-two punch of a global market selloff and tariff-induced panic that has rattled both crypto and equities.

Dogecoin Price Climbs as Shiba Inu Spikes to 8-Month High
The second-biggest dog coin by market cap, Shiba Inu (SHIB), is having its day Saturday, with the Ethereum-based token jumping to an eight-month high price—all while top dog Dogecoin (DOGE) charts more modest gains. Shiba Inu saw a sharp spike Saturday evening, popping to a price of $0.00002969 before cooling off slightly to a current price of $0.00002897. Even at the subdued price, SHIB is up more than 12% on the day—and the last time it hit Saturday's peak was back on April 1, eight months ago...

The Landscape
What Are Meme Coins and Tokens?
Memes have always been part of crypto culture—so it was perhaps inevitable that they would be financialized using the same technology that birthed cryptocurrencies. Initially, meme coins like Dogecoin were created as a joke, poking fun at cryptocurrencies—but, in true decentralized fashion, they’ve evolved beyond their creators’ original intentions. With their highly volatile prices shaped by influencers and rapidly moving news cycles, meme coins have become a growing sector of the crypto econom...

Neiro on Ethereum Becomes Top 25 Meme Coin After Binance, Crypto.com, OKX Listings
Neiro on Ethereum (NEIRO) has broken into the top 25 meme coins by market capitalization, according to CoinGecko.

Two months later, Kabosu’s owner adopted a new Shiba-Inu called Neiro. This caused a meme coin war as two Solana meme coins launched in the new pup’s honor and then the Ethereum NEIRO entered the picture, v...

Solana's Dogwifhat Pumps as Bonk, Dogecoin and Other Meme Coins Lose Ground
Bitcoin is trading at $63,330, representing a -1.5% dip in the last 24 hours as it recovers from a dip last week. The rest of the crypto market is following suit, and meme coins are also suffering. They post big gains when markets are green, but bleed hard when bears take over. Solana-based Dogwifhat (WIF) is the only meme coin in the top 100 of the largest cryptocurrencies that is posting gains today, edging up from $3.20 to $3.36, marking a 2.75% spike in the last 24 hours.

How Much SHIB Does Shiba Inu Founder Ryoshi Really Hold?
There’s good reason to believe the enigmatic Shiba Inu meme coin founder “Ryoshi” is sitting on 10% of the total SHIB supply, despite repeatedly claiming to own no SHIB tokens. It might even be more accurate to say they own 17% of the supply, considering that 41% of the tokens had been burned by 2022. Regardless, Ryoshi may be holding a SHIB fortune worth $1.8 billion at today’s prices, according to an analysis by crypto forensics firm Bubblemaps. That means when SHIB’s market cap ballooned to $...

Dogecoin Has Doubled in Price This Week—And SHIB Has Tripled
Dogecoin's run has slowed recently, but the top memecoin is still one of the biggest winners over a seven-day period. The price of DOGE is $0.15, according to CoinGecko data. That's an increase of nearly 65% for the week. Earlier today, the 10th biggest digital asset had reached a high of $0.18—meaning it had doubled in price. But it has since lost those gains as the crypto market tumbled earlier this morning in the afterglow of a new all-time high price for Bitcoin. Elsewhere, Shiba Inu (SHIB),...

Memecoin Madness: PEPE, Dogecoin and SHIB Surge Amid Crypto Rally
Popular memecoins haven't been left out of the latest rally alongside heavyweight assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
