Memecoins followed Bitcoin’s (CRYPTO: BTC) Sunday evening breakout, with Fartcoin again spearheading the sector-wide rally.
What happened: The Solana (CRYPTO: SOL)-based cryptocurrency spiked 4.67% over the previous day, becoming the biggest gainer among the top ten meme coins by market capitalization.
The silly-sounding coin has risen 111% in the last month, defying the tariff-induced bearishness in the broader cryptocurrency market.
Interestingly, a whale who had suffered big losses on previous FARTCOIN transactions and was holding unrealized losses flipped the script, selling around $2.47 million worth of memecoin for a $127,000 profit, according to Lookonchain.
Frog-themed Pepe followed suit with a 4.54% spike. The Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH)-based coin witnessed a 4.81% jump in 24-hour trading volume to $503 million.
Meme heavyweight Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) rose 3.29% to a market capitalization of $7.5 billion, with trading volume jumping 61% to $141 million.
