<p>Bloomberg says that meme coin’s trading volumes are currently at levels last seen shortly before the last crypto bubble burst more than two years ago. With more investor traction, the meme coin frenzy in the digital asset market shows no signs of abating. Meme coins, such as Dogwifhat and Pepe, are gaining significantly more traction than Bitcoin. The trend comes despite these coins being among the most speculative and volatile cryptocurrencies. According to data gathered by blockchain data firm Kaiko, trading volume for the top meme coins—which frequently trade for pennies on the dollar—reached around $80 billion in the last week. Since October 2021, that is the highest.</p>

<p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.investopedia.com/meme-coin-6750312" target="_blank">Investopedia</a> defines the term “meme coin” as a cryptocurrency name that is based on people, animals, characters, works of art, or anything else that can be imitated. Most are meant to be lighthearted and enjoyable, and they are backed by passionate online merchants and followers. Although some people find these coins amusing, they are volatile investments.&nbsp;Rivals of Shiba Inu Coin, such as Pepe (PEPE), Floki (FLOKI), dogfight (WIF), and Grok (GROK), are resolved to send rockets to the moon in 2024, driven by the growing need for less expensive investment options.</p>
