Ethereum: Analyst Sets $2,820 As ETHs Next Key Level to Watch, Heres Why

Following the markets recent pump, the leading cryptocurrencies have seen a remarkable performance. Bitcoin is trading above the $64,000 mark, while Ethereum (ETH) has surged 9% in the last week to consolidate above a key support level. Despite the bullish sentiment, some crypto investors remain cautious about ETHs performance as the second-largest cryptocurrency faces the next crucial resistance level. Related Reading: Memecoin Sensation Popcat Hits New All-Time High After Surge To $1 Ethereum Consolidates Above $2,600 Ethereum recorded a 13% price jump in the last seven days after the US Federal Reserve (Fed) announced its decision to cut the interest rate by 50 basis points (bps). The bullish momentum propelled the ETHs price to ranges not seen in a month, triggering a positive sentiment among many investors. Over the weekend, the King of Altcoins surged from the $2,300 support zone to the $2,500 mark before reclaiming the $2,600 resistance level as the week started. Since then, the cryptocurrency has hovered between the $2,600-$2,684 price range, momentarily dropping below the key support level on Wednesday afternoon. Nonetheless, Ethereum has faced resistance today after recovering from the recent drop to $2,500. Market analyst Crypto Yapper noted that ETH had been running into critical resistance on the Daily chart, as it had been unable to break successfully above the $2,650 mark since Tuesday. This performance worried some investors, who considered that not breaking above this level could hinder the cryptocurrencys run and send the price toward the previous support zones. However, Ethereums price jumped 1% in the last hour to trade above $2,650. As of this writing, ETH exchnges hands at $2,660, recording a 2.1% and 9.3% price increase in the daily and weekly timeframes. ETH To Reach New Highs In October? Crypto Trader Daan highlighted that Ethereums price made a higher low (HL) but has not been able to make a higher high (HH) yet. The trader noted that an HH would occur above the $2,820 mark, which was lost over a month ago, and it would signify a trend reversal for the cryptocurrency. This level corresponds with the horizontal level that kickstarted the February-March run to $4,090 after the breakout. Additionally, it coincides with the Daily 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) around that area, which makes it an important level to watch. A breakout above this mark could further propel ETHs price toward the $3,000 resistance level. Julien Bittel, Head of Macro Research at Global Macro Investor (GMI), noted that Ethereums chart is looking a lot like a 2023 redux. Related Reading: Cardano (ADA) Reclaims Top 10 Crypto Spot, Analysts Set New Targets Per the Chart, the cryptocurrencys current market structure resembles its 2023 movements very closely. A repeat of ETHs previous bullish trajectory suggests that ETHs price is about to break out and hit a new all-time high (ATH) mid to late October. Additionally, the chart shows that if it follows the same bullish trend, Ethereums price has the potential to reach somewhere between the $10,000 to $20,000 targets by Q1 2025, which would represent a 669% surge from its current price and a 300% jump from its ATH.

Memecoin Sensation Popcat Hits New All-Time High After Surge To $1

Popcat, the latest Solana-based memecoin sensation, has crowned itself as one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies in the market. The memecoin has stolen the spotlight following its 117% surge throughout Q3, outperforming other well-established tokens in the sector. The feline sensation has now consolidated as the first cat-themed memecoin to hit a $1 billion market capitalization, leading the markets bullish run alongside tokens like Sei (SEI) and Worldcoin (WLD). Related Reading: Bitcoin (BTC) On Track For Strongest September Performance, Is $90,000 Next? POPCAT Hits $1 Billion Market Cap Status Memecoins became the leading sector during this cycle, with many tokens outperforming most altcoins over the last few months. At the front of the frenzy, dog-themed tokens like dogwifhat (WIF) stole the spotlight during Q1 and Q2. However, a feline rival is challenging its spot as Solanas best-performing memecoin. Investors and market watchers have praised the cat-themed sensations performance over the past few months. Throughout Q3s violent market retraces, POPCAT showed a remarkable performance, becoming the largest gainer among the top 100 cryptocurrencies several times. The memecoins price quickly bounced from its 55% pullbacks during the market crashes, recovering and surpassing its previous level each time. POPCATs price has seen a 117% surge in the past three months, driving its price from the $0.68 mark to a new all-time high (ATH). In the late hours of Tuesday, the cryptocurrency broke above the $0.97 resistance level set by its previous ATH. The memecoin continued its 21% jump towards the $1.08 level, its new ATH, before retracing to the $1.01-$1.02 price range. The surge propelled POPCATs market capitalization to the $1 billion mark, cementing its status as the leading cat-themed token and making it the first memecoin in this sector to achieve it. Following its remarkable rise, the token registers a 57.8% and 40.2% surge in the weekly and monthly timeframes. Its daily market activity also saw an 82% jump to a trading daily volume of $133.3 million in the last 24 hours. Investors See Further Price Potential Some crypto whales loaded their bags as POPCAT broke the $1 barrier. On Wednesday morning, on-chain data analytics firm Lookonchain revealed that a crypto investor recently repurchased the cat-themed sensation, suggesting that some investors feel positive about the tokens future performance. Per the post, the whale spent 8,644 SOL, worth around $1.29 million, to buy 1.3 million POPCAT over the past two days. The address bought 456,000 tokens on Monday before acquiring another 843,000 POPCAT when the memecoin hit $1. This whale had previously sold its POPCAT holding at a 45% loss over two months ago. The investor saw $611,000 in losses from selling its 1.69 million tokens. However, before the long-awaited surge to $1, crypto investor Trade4ddict noted that the POPCATs consolidation under the key resistance level was a strong sign for its potential bull continuation. Related Reading: Cardano (ADA) Reclaims Top 10 Crypto Spot, Analysts Set New Targets The trader considers that after blowing off the $1 resistance, the memecoin has good chances of pumping toward the $2 target. He also suggested that the previous high at $0.8 should offer some support before a potential correction. As of this writing, the memecoin continues to hold the $1 support level, exchanging hands for $1.01. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Brace For Impact: Ethereum Price Could Plunge To $1,200 In December, Says Expert

Ethereum (ETH) price has struggled amid another market shakeout. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization fell below the $2,600 support zone for the third time in the past week, prompting crypto analysts to evaluate the next levels to watch out. Related Reading: Is Ethereum Poised for Inflation? Supply Reaches New High as Staking Takes Off ETHs Key Support Zone To Watch Out The crypto market has seen several retraces throughout the cycle, with cryptocurrencies like Ethereum significantly decreasing from its Q3 opening. Since July 1, the king of altcoins has seen a 24% drop from the $3,400 support level. Following its fall below the $2,100 mark during the Black Monday crash, ETH has hovered between the $2,300 and $2,700 range. The cryptocurrency has recovered around 18% of its price while tries to reclaim the $2,600 level. Nonetheless, the recent market shakeouts have made the price retest the strength of the $2,500 support zone three times in the last two weeks, which turned experts wary of ETHs next step. Renowned crypto analyst Ali Martinez stated that investors should pay attention to a key support zone after Ethereums performance. To Martinez, the $2,300 and $2,380 price range should be watched if ETH continues its downward trend. According to the In/Out of the Money Around Price (IOMAP) chat shared by Martinez, 1.62 million addresses bought over 50 million ETH at this zone, making it the next wall of support for Ethereums price. If the cryptocurrency fails to hold this level, its price could drop to $2,200 and even levels not seen since February. Will Ethereum Drop To $1,200 This Year? Other experts have suggested that the second-largest cryptocurrency could see its price drop even lower, as even giants will fall. Top analyst Benjamin Cowen stated that the collapse of ETH/BTC is almost completed. A year ago, Cowen forecasted that the collapse of the trading pair would mark the end of the altcoin reckoning. He explained that altcoin reckoning refers to the devaluation of the altcoins on their BTC pairs. The analyst added that ETC/BTC was the last one to rise in the bull and it can be the last to fall in the bear. To him, this trading pair has four more months before it goes up next year. Additionally, Cowen predicted that Ethereums price could hit the $1,200 price range in December if its performance is similar to the last two cycles. Crypto investor Ted Pillows urged investors to hold on throughout the troubled waters, suggesting that a $10,000 is still possible. To the trader, the King of altcoins is not dead based on different factors. Ted highlighted that spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) inflows have increased while Grayscale outflows have progressively gotten smaller, and Jump Trading has only around $60 million in ETH to sell. Related Reading: Will Bitcoin (BTC) Trade Back Above $70,000 By September? Analysts Weigh In Moreover, ETH is strongly holding its support level, which he deemed the most important factor. Ultimately, the investor Predicts that the consolidation breakout will occur between November and December, while the parabolic run will start in Q1 2025.

LayerZero Bounces Amid Market Retrace, ZRO Soars 20%

LayerZero (ZRO) has become one of the first altcoins to bounce amid the market retrace. The token has registered green numbers despite its controversial token airdrop last month.  As a result, investors and market watchers remain bullish on ZROs long-term performance. Related Reading: Cardano (ADA) Founder Claps Back At Dead Coin Comments, Issues Reminder To The Community From ZRO To Market Hero In late June, the omnichain interoperability protocol LayerZero launched its long-awaited ZRO token. The launch, which included a token airdrop for the protocol users, received a negative response from the crypto community. Users found the airdrops claim mechanism to be a slap in the face for the community. Minutes before the launch, the LayerZero Foundation announced that a new Proof-of-Donation claim mechanism would be used for those who wanted to receive their token allocation. The mechanism required users to donate $0.1 in USDC, USDT, or ETH, per token allocated. The donations would go directly to the Protocol Guild, a collective funding mechanism for Ethereum developers. LayerZero received backlash for this measure. Many community members found that the project was milking their supporters and lacked proper communication. As a result, the token saw a 38% drop following the launch. ZRO went from trading at its $4.57 all-time high (ATH) to trading as low as $2.83. The retrace continued as it reached its all-time low (ATL) of $2.48 a week after its launch. The token has since recovered by 53%. ZROs upward trajectory started last week as Bitcoin (BTC) regained its $60,000 support zone. The token moved from its ATL to a biweekly high of $4.2. However, LayerZeros token followed the rest of the market in the retrace. BTCs performance dragged ZRO back to the $2.75 level earlier today, but it has bounced over 20% in the last few hours. As of this writing, ZRO is one of the few altcoins registering green numbers in multiple timeframes. Moreover, the protocols token displays double-digit gains in the weekly and biweekly timeframes, with 40.2% and 22.1% price increases. Investors Bullish On LayerZero Following this performance, investors and market watchers expressed bullish sentiment regarding the token. Some traders assert that ZRO held relatively well during the dump and is now recovering pretty hard. Crypto trader CryptoKnight highlighted ZROs bounce and suggested that the token could reach $5 in the short-term timeframe. Similarly, SpiderCrypto believes that ZRO will hit $10 by the end of the year. To the market watcher, LayerZero is the best infra company for those who believe in a multichain future. Seemingly, users remain confident in the protocol despite the launch mishap. Some investors consider it one of the cleanest brands around with a token that is not difficult to sell to people with a bit of FOMO. Related Reading: Gala Games Announces Partnership With Animoca Brands, GALA Token Plunges 6.7% LayerZero Labs recently announced its integration with Flare, a data-focused blockchain, to enable Flare developers to connect with 75 other networks. Per the post, the integration will connect the blockchain with 50,000 dApps and offer access to a vast quantity of new users and sources of liquidity. At the time of writing, ZRO is trading at $3.81, representing a 21% increase in the last 24 hours. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Whale Makes $8 Million With Trump-Inspired Memecoin As PolitiFi Tokens Soar

The Trump-inspired tokens surged around 40% following Donald Trumps assassination attempt. As a result, PolitiFi tokens closed the week, outperforming most categories in the industry. The remarkable performance earned some crypto whales millions in profits from the MAGA (TRUMP) memecoin. Related Reading: 1,000 Bitcoin On The Move: Satoshi-Era Whale Stirs The Crypto Waters Crypto Whale Profits From TRUMP Memecoin On Sunday, on-chain tracking platform Lookonchain reported that a crypto whale had made millions from a Trump-inspired memecoin. An address deposited all their TRUMP holdings to the crypto exchange BTSE. Per the report, the whale bought 1.08 million TRUMP between November 22 and December 4, 2023. The address acquired the tokens at an average price of $0.5, spending $540,000 for the memecoin. Seemingly, the whale made $8.85 million from the tokens, $8.3 million of which were profits. Per Lookonchain, the wallet was suspected to be owned by renowned crypto trader GCR. However, it was later confirmed the address in question wasnt related to the crypto trader. Lookonchain also reported another address holding a significant amount of the Trump-inspired memecoin. The second address, also suspected to be linked to the crypto trader, has $6.5 million in unrealized profits from TRUMP. The whale wallet tagged “GCR: Address 1” spent over $700,000 to buy 936,279 TRUMP. The address bought the tokens at an average of $0.75 between December 8, 2023, and January 18, 2024. At the time of the report, the whales holdings were worth around $7.23 million. Nonetheless, it hasnt been confirmed if this address is linked to the renowned crypto trader. PolitiFi And Trump-Inspired Tokens Soar Over the weekend, former US President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt. The Republican Presidential Candidate got shot in the ear during a campaign rally in Butner, Pennsylvania. Following the news, PolitiFi tokens soared over 30%. DeFi creator and analyst Jake Pahor shared that the PolitiFi sector outperformed most categories over the weekend. Pahor cited DeFiLlama data, revealing that PolitiFi tokens rose 36.7% last week. The DeFi analyst also noted that all categories outperformed Bitcoin over the past 7 days, possibly indicating a shift towards a risk-on environment. Before the failed Trump assassination attempt, Trump-inspired memecoins saw a pump. The tokens surged after the former US President was announced as a keynote speaker at the Bitcoin 2024 Conference on July 27. TRUMPs price went from $5.74 to $6.54 after the news. This performance represented a 15% and 39.5% surge in the daily and weekly timeframes. Since then, the biggest Trump-themed memecoin has seen a 35% rise, fueled by the most recent incident. Following the assassination attempt, the token went from the $6.3 price range to the $9.51 mark, increasing by over 50% in twelve hours. On Sunday, the memecoin hovered between the $7.3-$7.9 price range, starting the week trading at $7.47.

Baked Or Burned? Trader Makes 307x From Solana Token But Investors Raise The Alarm

Over the weekend, a crypto trader turned 70 SOL into $3 million with a Solana-based token. However, the investors success story was overshadowed by the controversial launch of the memecoin that made it possible. Related Reading: Avalanche (AVAX) Price Rallies: Can It Break Through the $30 Barrier? Trader Makes $3 Million In Minutes A crypto trader made millions in 30 minutes after investing $9,923 in Solana-based memecoin BAKED. Lookonchain reported that a sniper spent 70 SOL to buy 81.78 million BAKED. 30 minutes later, the trader sold his holdings for 21,581 SOL, worth around $3.06 million, in 76 transactions. The feat was achieved by a seemingly lucky trader who previously invested and lost money in other Solana memecoins. The on-chain analysis platform concluded that the investor was likely not an insider as it had bought the tokens from Raydiums pool instead of the Degen Fund. However, Lookonchain revealed that BAKEDs team and insiders hold over 70% of the supply. Per the report, the dev wallet spent 11.82 SOL to buy 300.72 million BAKED from the Degen Fund, where the token was launched. The wallet bought the Solana memecoin while minting tokens and 206.9M $BAKED was added to liquidity. 19 wallets snatched up the remaining 492.37 million tokens in one second. These wallets were created simultaneously with the dev wallet and were funded by Bitget. 15 out of 19 wallets withdrew SOL from Bitget three days ago and are suspected to be linked to BAKEDs team and insiders. As a result, 78% of the supply, worth around $15.6 million, was held by insider and dev-related wallets. The wallets spent 82.4 SOL, around $11,700, to buy 779.85 million BAKED before selling. At the time of Lookonchains report, the insiders had sold a small portion of their tokens and still held 76.36% of the supply. BAKED has plummeted by 58% in the last 24 hours, currently trading for $0.01260. Is The New Solana Token Launch Baked Or Burned? Crypto investors refuted the claims that the lucky sniper was not an insider and expressed discontent with the Solana memecoin launch. Additionally, users have called the BAKED token a scam due to an alleged lack of transparency. GUMMY investors were supposed to earn a 15% reward on BAKED tokens for staking their tokens on July 1. However, users reported they did not receive any reward after unstaking their holdings. According to Web3 Forensics, users successfully unstaked their GUMMY tokens but no investor had been able to get BAKED rewards by Monday morning. One investor considers the projects team held our $GUMMY hostage so we couldnt profit off of the $BAKED launch. Moreover, many users highlighted that GUMMYs value has significantly decreased since they staked their holdings. Per the reports, every $1,000 staked in the token is now worth around $140. Many believe that the team behind the Solana-based tokens, including Crypto Banters founder Ran Neuner, used every single investor or Community Member who trusted you. On the official telegram group chat for the token, the team asked investors to calm down and relax. The team assured the project was not a scam and explained that none of them got an early entry. Moreover, the message stated that a higher price for the token meant a better valuation for your gummy airdrop and that the airdrop details would be announced soon. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Blasts Past $63,000: Top 3 Reasons Ultimately, the launch didnt receive a positive response.

GMX Soars 20% Amid Crypto Whale Frenzy, Is It Back In Turbo Mode?

GMX, the native token of decentralized perpetual exchange GMX, has soared over 20% in the past 24 hours. The surge was seemingly fueled by a crypto whale move that ignited the communitys positive sentiment towards the token. Some analysts believe GMX might be preparing for a breakout above the $60 mark. Related Reading: AVAX Primed To Break $100 Barrier As Bullish Signs Emerge Whales Send GMX To New Wallets In the early hours of Thursday, a whale withdrew over 85,000 GMX tokens from crypto exchange Binance. Per the reports, the whale sent the funds to a fresh wallet, boosting the price surge. The whale withdrew 84,515 GMX, worth around $3.77 million, in five transactions for an average price of $43.07. This move propelled the price from $40 to $44 in the following hours. Moreover, the price jump resulted in over half a million in unrealized profit for the crypto investor. Similarly, reports of another whale withdrawing GMX from Binance surfaced this morning. According to the post, 72,300 GMX tokens were sent to a wallet from Binance. The wallet now holds 82,768 GMX, worth $3.69 million. The tokens surge appears to have begun before the whale activity. GMXs price jumped from the $36 price range to the $42 mark on Wednesday, which fueled the positive sentiment of the crypto community. In the past 24 hours, GMX rose 22.2%, trading above $44 now. The recent performance represents a 26% and 76.3% price increase in the weekly and monthly timeframes. Moreover, it has registered a surge in its market activity, registering a 121% daily trading volume increase in the last day. Crypto Analysts Bullish On GMX The tokens performance didnt go unnoticed by crypto analysts. The market watchers expressed their bullish sentiment towards GMX and set a short-term target. According to Daan Crypto, GMX appears to be running back to turbo mode. The token is currently up 2x from its bottom registered in April of this year. Moreover, GMX is trading back above the daily 200MA/EMA. To the analyst, the $41 support zone will be a key level to hold going forward. He also considers the $60 price range a good target for the tokens bullish momentum. Crypto trader and analyst JJcycles also weighed in on GMXs performance. The trader highlighted a bullish flag pattern on the tokens chart. Per the analyst, GMX is nicely reversing into the beginning of the third wave. JJcycles also pointed out the token successfully broke out of the $40 resistance level in the following hours. To the trader, it looks like GMX printed the bottom in April when it went as low as $22. Additionally, he called out those who capitulated within the bottom accumulation range, including Arthur Hayes. Just like it is supposed to be, capitulators are in pain, wrote the analyst. Related Reading: Fake Crypto Airdrop: Tethers CEO Warns Of Ongoing Supply Chain Email Exploit As reported by NewsBTC, the BitMEX founder was the largest individual holder of GMX, with over 230,000 GMX tokens.

At the time, GMX investors criticized the transaction, suggesting that the altcoin was in that buy zone again. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Solana-Based GameStop Tribute Token (GME) Soars 300% Following Roaring Kittys Return

After two silent weeks, Roaring Kittys latest roar has shaken the crypto market. The renowned trader has again set the world ablaze after revealing his substantial 5 million GameStop shares holdings. Following his posts, GameStops shares soared in the premarket by 90%, and the Solana-based tribute token, GME, skyrocketed by 300%. Related Reading: Crypto Guru Unveils Best Altcoins To Buy Now Roaring Kittys Return To Reddit Sets Market On Fire On Sunday night, Keith Gills, known as Roaring Kitty, returned from a two-week hiatus. The trader, known for his role in the GameStop saga, wreaked havoc after posting on Reddit for the first time in three years. Roaring Kittys GME YOLO Update post unveiled that Gill owns 5 million GameStop shares, worth around $115 million. Additionally, he has $65 million worth of GME option calls with a $21 strike expiring on June 21. The revelation seemingly congested the order flow immediately as the volume of investors trying to buy GME Shares skyrocketed. As one X user informed, orders were being canceled, even when you put in a high-risk ask. According to the investment research platform Quiver Quantitative, Roaring Kittys net worth could surpass former House Speaker Nancy Pelosis, depending on how GME moves this Monday. Gills GME position sat him at a $210 million net worth at the time of the post. Meanwhile, Pelosis estimated net worth rounds the $245 million mark, making her the second-richest US politician on Quivers list. At the start of Monday, GameStops GME price had risen 93% at the premarket open, reaching $45.73. As reported by an X user, based on the premarket price, his position increased by around $300 million. If GME reaches the $70 range, Gills position would be worth over $1 billion. Solana-Based GME Jumps 300% Roaring Kittys ripple effect also drove attention to the Solana-based memecoin GME. Solanas GME was launched in February 2024 as a tribute to GameStops meme stock event from 2021. During the traders first return to the crypto space on May 13, Solanas GME saw a surge of 3,921%. The token went from trading for $0.0004914 to $0.01976 before retracing to the $0.0035 price range in the following days. As Roaring Kitty went silent, the Solana memecoin hovered between $0.0035-$0.0040. However, Gills latest post has fueled market interest in the token by 1,500%, with a daily trading volume of $237 million. Moreover, the token has increased by over 300% since the traders posts, going from $0.003907 to $0.01594 as Monday started. Lookonchain reported that a GME whale’s smart trading move was paying off. According to the post, a whale has shown a track record of buying Solanas GME at low prices and selling it at highs. In February, a trader spent 1,409 Solana (SOL), worth around $165,000, to buy 68 million GME following the tokens first price drop. After Gills first comeback, the trader sold $35 million GME for 3,447 SOL, worth around $503,000. Related Reading: Notcoin Unstoppable!

WIF Plunges 11% As Whale Deposits Millions To Binance, Whos Behind It?

Memecoins are in red this week as most sectors of the crypto market struggle. Dogwifhat (WIF) has not been the exception.  The memecoin sensation of Q1 saw a significant price drop following the movements of a whale. Recently, an address transferred millions of WIF to a crypto exchange, which ignited speculation about who was behind the transaction. Related Reading: LayerZeros ZRO Token Airdrop Receives Backlash For Proof-Of-Donation Mechanism 6 Million WIF To Binance On Friday, reports of a massive WIF transfer to Binance hit the crypto community.

Additionally, the address offloaded 48 million Trump Coin (DJT), approximately $500,000. After the news, the crypto community began speculating who was behind the transfer. Some users claimed the whale was crypto trader Ansem, who was very vocal about WIF. The trader was also part of the Las Vegas Sphere project, where users donated around $700,000 to project the tokens image in the Sphere.   Users on X criticized Ansem for the alleged deposit, expressing their disappointment in his capitulation. Some investors took the opportunity to express their discontent with the trader for grifting and dumping on investors. The discussion sparked an important conversation: should Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) not move their money? One user considers that Ansem, and all KOLs, are free to do what they want with their money.  The user argued that KOLs are subjected to criticism regardless of their route. When people sell before you do, they are jeet. When KOLs sell some of their holdings or even move it around, they are pump and dampers. Several community members agreed and questioned if KOLs are obligated to hold a token until investors are happy with their profits.  However, others argue that community members are arbiters of traders reputations.   Dogwifhat Take A Blow, But Was It Ansem? Despite the rumors, online reports suggest the wallet is not linked to the crypto trader. After deep-diving into the address, a community member found that the address was not associated with Ansem. The post notes that the only reason it was linked to the trader was the large WIF balance and many Solana memecoins. However, the address has a record of selling their token at a loss to FOMO into new shiny stuff. Furthermore, the wallet seems to be linked to a now-deleted X account.  At the time of writing, the trader has not acknowledged the rumors.   After the reports, WIFs price dropped from the $1.90 to the $1.80 price range. On the last day, the memecoin plunged from the $2.15 mark, representing a 13% decrease.

Memecoin Fight: DADDY Surpasses MOTHER Despite Insider Trading Activity Allegations

The celebrity memecoin mania has added a new player with the recently launched Daddy Tate (DADDY). The token, promoted by the controversial figure Andrew Tate, has gained traction, surpassing Iggy Azaleas MOTHER.  However, Tate is now accused of some concerning activity for crypto investors. Related Reading: Dogwifhat To Tumble? Analyst Sets $1 Target For WIF Andrew Tate Endorses DADDY On June 11, former pro kickboxer and controversial online figure Andrew Tate started promoting a new memecoin. The DADDY token was marketed as the direct competition to Iggy Azaleas MOTHER, the most successful celebrity launch. Before he endorsed DADDY, Tate stated he held zero tokens but was aware there were hundreds of memecoins related to his likeness. Days later, he invited popular crypto trader Ansem to fight him in a boxing match, claiming this was his cycle. He also suggested that the loser donates $10 million to a token of the winners choosing. Tates approach received mixed reactions from the members of the crypto community. Content creator Jakey jokingly claimed that Crypto Twitter was the new YouTube. Another user stated, Every day we get further away from god. On Tuesday, Tate promoted the Daddy Tate memecoin, which was also received with mixed feelings and some criticism. The promotional posts targeted Azaleas MOTHER while making sexist jokes and using domestic violence as a punchline. I heard about a coin called mother so now Im supporting a coin called $DADDY to flip it for the patriarchy. Were bringing the Gs back make me a fucking sandwich females. Tates Memecoin Called Out For Insider Trading On Wednesday, crypto analytics firm Bubblemaps accused the token of having huge insider activity. According to the firm, they found suspicious activity before Tate started promoting DADDY. Bubblemaps revealed that insiders allegedly bought 30% of the tokens supply at launch. On June 9, Daddy Tates team sent 40% of the total supply to the former kickboxer, which he promised not to sell. Additionally, he bought $10,000 worth of DADDY and burned it. Despite this, the token seems to have a catch. Per the report, 11 wallets are holding 20% of the supply. These wallets were founded through Binance with nearly identical amounts at the same time. Moreover, they bought the tokens, worth around $30 million, on June 9, before the team started to promote the token on X. The firm claims that the timing and amounts strongly suggest the wallets belong to the same group. Similarly, two other clusters hold an additional 10% of the supply and seem to be linked through a third wallet. Bubblemaps urged investors to remain cautious as the insiders seem to be active on $DADDY and are trying to cover their tracks. The firm warned that one of these wallets could nuke the liquidity pool. DADDY Surpasses MOTHER After Tates post about DADDY, the crypto community called him out for his posts. Some users suggested he returned when the token was a MOTHERs level. At the time, Daddy Tate had a $45 million market capitalization and was trading at $0.1499. Nonetheless, DADDY gained traction on Wednesday, surging to $0.36. In 24 hours, the token increased by 143% to a new all-time high (ATH) and reached a $280 million market capitalization. This performance saw the memecoin surpass MOTHER despite the controversial promotion and insider activity allegations. Since then, the token has retraced to the $0.24 price level, a 32% decline in the last 12 hours. DADDY had a market cap of $240 million at the time of writing. Meanwhile, MOTHER saw a 46% surge on Wednesday, which propelled the price from $0.15 to $0.22. In the following hours, the memecoins price declined 36% to the $0.14 range before recovering.

Journalist and host Laura Shin interviewed crypto traders Ansem and Kel, known on X as blkoiz06 and Kelxyz, for her Unchained Podcast.  They discussed why memecoins had become the most profitable crypto trade this cycle and what the future might hold for the sector. Related Reading: Is The PEPE Dream Over? Dissecting The Factors Behind The Meme Coins Price Tumble Is There Value In A Memecoin? To begin with, Shin asked the traders whether there was substance in tokens based on memes, as it has been a big argument against them. To Ansem, people think too hard about the value of memecoins as projects. Moreover, he considers theres no real gain in comparing whether other altcoins deserve or have more value than meme-based tokens. Why Memecoins Have Been 2024s Most Profitable Crypto Trade: Ansem and Kelxyz Dive into the wild world of memecoins with @blknoiz06 and @kelxyz_! Discover how Ansem and Kel trade memecoins, the risks and rewards, and their predictions for the future of memecoins Plus, pic.twitter.com/QovysNwAGP — Laura Shin (@laurashin) May 7, 2024 Ansem further explains that the crypto community is very internet-centered, with its members being internet people since cryptos origin.  As a result, the community is knowledgeable about the financial aspect but is also knees-deep in online culture. The trader believes theres value in memes and culture on the internet. People in the community are “financializing” meme virality and realizing that its a possibility with crypto. Shin jokingly added that if this trend had been popular in 2016, the Drake meme creator would be a bazillionaire by now. The host seemingly referenced the still-popular meme that originated from Drakes Hotline Bling music video. Agreeing with this argument, Kel asserted that, over the last 20 years, many trillion-dollar businesses have capitalized attention as their winning trade businesses idea. All these trillion-dollar businesses () facilitate directing attention and the way theyve done that successfully has been, oftentimes, via memes. One could even make the argument that memes are the core engine of the entire Internet. The Risks And Criticisms Of Memecoin Mania To understand why memecoins have become the narrative of Q1 2024, the traders discussed the risks and arguments against the tokens. One of the biggest criticisms of memecoins is their high-risk nature. Because they are much smaller and not backed by institutional money, they can be riskier and more easily go to 0. Despite this, traders consider that many investors, especially new ones, find memecoins attractive because they have the potential to give 100x to 1000x returns. Moreover, losing money is not exclusive to memecoins. To illustrate his point, Ansem compared the people who bought Doges top to those who bought Bitcoin at $69,000 last cycle before it fell to $15,000. To the trader, how much a token can drop and investors buying the top is part of the general market dynamics instead of a characteristic of memecoins. However, he clarifies that there is better criticism of the sector. Ansem considers the shady behavior behind the projects teams a crucial issue to address. To him, a framework could prevent creators from controlling a large supply of the tokens and dumping them immediately after launch or rug-pulling investors. In the replies to the podcast, a user argued that the reason behind the recent frenzy is driven by the Financial nihilism and the lack of liquidity that the youth has. Adding that investors are Buying a mere coin is like a lottery ticket. It is worth mentioning that trading memecoins like lottery tickets is not an unseen phenomenon. On-chain research platform Lookonchain recently reported a trader seeing 4,906x gains in one day by precisely doing that. This guy won a 4,906x lottery ticket today, so lucky! He trades MEMEcoins like buying a lottery ticket, investing 0.1/0.2/0.3 $SOL for each #MEMEcoins. He invested 0.2 $SOL($30) in $AGORA today, then sold 2M $AGORA for $100K, with 959K $MILK(worth $47K) left. So he turned $30 pic.twitter.com/fnJDQnavfI — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) May 7, 2024 Per the report, the trader invests 0.1/0.2/0.3 SOL for each memecoin. Yesterday, the investor turned $30 into $147,000 by turning 0.2 SOL into 2 million AGORA. Whats In Memecoins Future? When asked what is in store for the sector, both traders concurred that memecoins are not going away. To Ansem, the community behavior towards memecoins is like that of NFTs last cycle. With NFTs, investors felt like they were part of a community and were working towards developing it. The shared experience of relating is another crucial factor in the craze of meme-based tokens, as seen in communities of tokens like Dogwifhat (WIF). Adding to that idea, Kel asserted that all memes will become coins in the next ten years.  Moreover, the trader wouldnt be surprised if the creation of a meme was natively financialized by then, as the trend of financialization of things continues to increase. Ultimately, he believes the sector is in the early stages of this trend as the community tries to capture the moment of a meme and capitalize on it now that crypto has made financialization trivial from a tech perspective.
