Memecoins Overflowing in the Crypto Market
A subcategory of cryptocurrencies known as memecoins is based on internet memes, pop culture allusions, and viral online occurrences. Unlike digital currencies like Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH), memecoins often originate as playful social experiments with minimal practical applications.
At the moment, cryptocurrency exchanges allow users to trade more than 340 different meme coins. By market capitalization, Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Dogwifhat, Pepe (PEPE), and Floki (FLOKI) are the most well-known meme coins.
