GmeStop

Memecoin

<div class="dailyhodl">
 <p>An altcoin inspired by the Gamestop (GME) short-squeeze frenzy of 2021 has exploded over 2,000% after the movement’s leader made an internet appearance for the first time in nearly three years.</p>
 <p>Keith Gill, who pseudonymously goes as “Roaring Kitty” on the social media platform X, posted a gamer meme early on Monday, and has since posted several other videos.</p>
 <div class="code-block code-block-055f5289fd7e731bb72be7c5a19d18ed code-block-1">  
 </div>
 <p>The posts are Gill’s first since mid-2021 when he led the movement to pump the price of GME, causing several large institutions that were short the stock to lose money.</p>
 <p>Since the posts, GME has skyrocketed. At time of publishing, it is currently up over 85% in a single day.</p>

 <p>The resurgence of GameStop appears to have spread to digital assets markets as well.</p>
 <p>GME, a memecoin launched on Solana (SOL) in January, has skyrocketed about 2,113% in the last 12 hours alone, currently trading just over a penny after starting the day below $0.00049.</p>
 <p>Giacomo Pierantoni, head of data at hedge fund Vanda Research, told Bloomberg that such spikes in retail trading have historically been “contrarian” signals.</p>
 <p><em>“These surges in retail activity have served as contrarian signals, prompting institutional investors to quickly short the stock following these rallies driven by retail investors.”</em></p>
