IntoTheBlock experts note a meme coin speculative sentiment increase amid the ongoing bull market.
According to the latest IntoTheBlock report, traders increasingly turn to speculative opportunities promising high returns. The trend is evident throughout the meme coin sector, as seen in the emergence of new meme coins and the resurgence of older ones gaining popularity again.
Analysts note that the same trend of speculative activity was observed in previous cycles and is now beginning to appear in the current one, as evident from the performance of the meme coin sector.
The meme coin category recently saw the highest number of transactions, exceeding 2021 bull market levels. The surge was partially driven by Dogecoin (DOGE), which exceeded two million transactions in one day, IntoTheBlock noted.
However, the 2024 bull market has several differences compared to previous performance. In just a month, the market capitalization of the meme coin category more than doubled.
“The total market capitalization for the meme coin category recently hit a cycle peak of over $50 billion.”
IntoTheBlock reportBlockchains with low transaction fees, such as Solana, Avalanche, and Base, have become the platforms of choice for many of these new meme coins. Lower gas fees make trading on these blockchains more accessible to retail investors.
However, the sustainability of this growth depends on broader market dynamics, including potential changes in significant cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), which could impact the trajectory of the meme coin market, according to analysts.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin also indicated in his latest report that meme coins have become a hot topic in the crypto community. Buterin proposes using these tokens to raise funds for charitable purposes.
