In crypto, the recently quiet meme coin compartment started showing signs of revitalization after Bitcoin (BTC) formed a double bottom at $75K twice over the span of the past 30 days. Whilst Bitcoin (BTC) whipped up 14.5% monthly gains, most altcoins also embarked on rebound rallies, while meme coins continued to trade sideways throughout April.

Shiba Inu-Styled Floki Token Bursts Out On Airdrop News

This week, the two top dog meme coins Shiba Inu (SHIB) & Dogecoin (DOGE) both slightly backtracked, dipping by 4.5% and 1% in a weekly timeframe, respectively. In contrast, some smaller counterparts like the Solana based Bonk coin (BONK) and Dogwifhat (WIF) also tacked on over 10% rebound rallies.

However, the Viking dog-themed Floki token (FLOKI) arrives as the largest gainer in a 7-day time frame, fetching a 32% profit to tackle $0.00008862, a new monthly high. The upsurge was activated once Floki Inuโ€™s (FLOKI) team announced a new collaboration with Rice Robotics to launch a new AI robot, farming RICE tokens for the FLOKI token community along the way for the upcoming airdrop.

Naturally, the airdrop news amplified Floki tokenโ€™s (FLOKI) buying power among retail crypto investors, but the Shiba Inu dog-themed meme coinโ€™s trading volume stayed relatively small, netting under $100 million a day. In comparison to the big dogs, thatโ€™s less than a 10% fraction of the regular Dogecoin trading volume, usually well above $1 billion.

As for Shiba Inu (SHIB), the mainstream meme coin took a hit in trading volume over the past few months, encompassing around $200 million per day. However, this also implies that crypto traders are less keen to speculate on Shiba Inuโ€™s (SHIB) price, as the long-term holder percentage steadily grows throughout the ups & downs of the global crypto market.

On The Flipside

  • Neither of the three aforementioned meme coins reclaimed their previous major support areas, while Floki remains outside the TOP 100 by market capitalization.
  • The highest-ranking meme coin Dogecoin is changing hands at $0.18, while number two Shiba Inu is trading well below the $0.000015 confluent resistance level.

Why This Matters

Community-driven engagement is crucial for any dog-themed crypto currency to stay relevant and live beyond its meme coin status.
