  • Binance now supports Dogwifhat trading.
  • Dogwifhat is listed on Binance with four trading pairs.
  • Solana is earning a reputation for hosting killer memecoins.

Dogwifhat is making a name for itself after rapidly rising in the cryptocurrency market cap rankings following an astronomical price surge in late February. The Solana-based memecoin has captured immense speculative interest and trading volume, leading to a highly acclaimed Binance listing.

Binance Warns of Dogwifhat Risk

Riding on Dogwifhat’s growing popularity, Binance opened trading support for the memecoin on March 5 at 14:00 UTC under four spot trading pairs: WIF/BTC, WIF/USDT, WIF/FDUSD, and notably the only fiat currency in WIF/TRY.

Binance has applied a “Seed Tag” to Dogwifhat, denoting the token’s extreme volatility and high risk. Users must pass periodic quizzes to access trading for seed-tagged tokens, ensuring they understand the heightened risks of these types of tokens.

Dogwifhat’s recent stellar performance has overtaken established memecoin rivals like Floki and Dogelon Mars. The token is now closing in on fellow Solana-based memecoin Bonk, currently around $650 million below Bonk’s market cap valuation.

With crypto markets stirring in action following a drawn-out bear period, WIF is poised to reap the benefits of renewed crypto interest.

WIF on a Roll

Renewed crypto interest saw the Dogwifhat token reach new heights on Tuesday, spiking as high as $1.90 to mark a new all-time high and staggering 555% gains since February 24, when it was priced at just $0.29, per CoinGecko data.

However, after the Binance listing announcement began circulating, huge sell pressure has since dipped WIF’s price lower to around $1.68 at the time of writing. This pattern is reminiscent of Binance’s PEPE listing in May 2023, which saw a 49% drawdown in the token’s price by the end of the next day.

With Dogwifhat and Bonk printing massive gains for early investors, Solana is fast becoming the go-to layer 1 for memecoins. This was highlighted on Monday when Solana’s DEX volume shot to $1.99 billion over the last 24 hours, briefly overtaking Ethereum, which turned over $1.83 billion during the same period. 

Memecoins often launch on DEXs, which have flexible, some would argue overly lax, rules around token listings. 

On the Flipside

  • Memecoins are a booming category, up 169% over the past 7 days as a collective.
  • Vitalik Buterin recently expressed concerns about overinvestment in memecoins.
  • Dogwifhat‘s long-term viability and fundamentals remain highly uncertain.

Why This Matters

The Binance listing of Dogwifhat underscores the growing mainstream embrace of memecoins and the power of community-driven crypto assets. While critics warn of a speculative bubble, the popularity of memecoins reflects how engaging online communities can drive real-world demand, forcing big business exchanges to take notice.
