The meme coin market went ballistic as hype around a <a href="https://insidebitcoins.com/news/top-meme-coins-to-buy-today-october-20-gorilla-hump-neko" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">meme coin</a> supercycle intensifies.
The lighthearted sector of the crypto industry saw its <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/categories/meme-token" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">market capitalization</a> surge over 21% in the past 24 hours.&nbsp;
Smaller-cap tokens led the charge with Act I The AI Prophecy (ACT) the best performer after its price soared more than 248%. Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) and Goatseus Maximus (GOAT) came in second and third place, respectively, after registering 24-hour gains of 73% and 35%.

Solana token Popcat (<a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/popcat" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">POPCAT</a>) outperformed the rest of the top 10 largest meme coins by market cap. CoinGecko data shows that the crypto’s price pumped 18% to trade at $1.63 as of 2:45 a.m. EST.&nbsp;

POPCAT’s strong performance comes as almost all of the top 10 largest meme coins by market cap suffered 24-hour losses, with leaders Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) both printing minor 24-hour losses below 1%
Only Dogwifhat (WIF), Pepe (PEPE) and Bonk (BONK) registered gains. After POPCAT’s 18% surge, the next best performer was WIF with a 4% rise.

The market’s pump in the past 24 hours comes amid much debate over whether a meme coin supercycle is underway. Discussion over this possibility intensified after investor and influencer Murad Mahmudov spoke on the topic at Token2049 in Singapore.
<iframe title="Murad Mahmudov - The Memecoin Supercycle - TOKEN2049 Singapore 2024" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6nqzwdGxTGc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
He argues that a meme coin supercycle, powered by social media hype and viral trends, is now underway and that it will bring a prolonged period of explosive growth.
Meme coins certainly are outperforming the broader crypto market right now.&nbsp;While meme coins surged in the past day, the rest of the crypto market underwent a slight correction.
 Over the past 24 hours, the overall valuation of the digital asset space dropped more than 1%. Despite the pullback, the market cap remains above $2.41 trillion.
While Bitcoin (BTC) registered a marginal gain, altcoin leader Ethereum (ETH) slid over 2%. Almost all of the cryptos in the&nbsp; top 10 list followed ETH’s lead, and suffered losses as well. Only Solana (SOL) and Binance Coin (BNB) recorded 24-hour gains, with the prior’s price pumping more than 4%.

As investors position themselves to capitalize on a possible meme coin supercycle, some are turning to presales to find the next crypto to explode.
One of the hot favorities right now is <a href="https://insidebitcoins.com/visit/pepeunchained" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Pepe Unchained (PEPU)</a>, which has just zoomed past $22 million in funds raised in one of the most successful ICOs of the year.
Another ICO that’s attracting a lot of attention is <a href="https://insidebitcoins.com/visit/cryptoallstars" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Crypto All-Stars (STARS)</a>, an innovative new project that is the first to enable investors to stake multiple top meme coins on one platform. It’s already raised more than $2.6 million.
