2024-11-09

Dogecoin DOGEUSD, the largest meme cryptocurrency by market capitalization, saw an incredibly successful week.

TON-based meme cryptos are leading the way in the small-cap scene with up to 70% overnight gains.
Dogecoin DOGEUSD adds 30% in week, market cap hits $30 billion

Today, on Nov. 9, 2024, the DOGE price reached $0.21605, which is the highest in more than seven months. Its market capitalization peaked at the $30.9 billion mark.
Dogecoin's DOGEUSD price surged following the announcement about the acquisition of Dogecoin Holdings by Spirit Blockchain Capital. Dogecoin Holdings is a corporation tasked with the implementation of Web3 solutions based on the Dogecoin DOGEUSD blockchain.
Being an early proof-of-work cryptocurrency, a fork of Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin DOGEUSD by default lacks smart contracts functionality (programmability). As such, the major milestone for Dogecoin Holdings might give its adoption a boost.
In the top 100 cryptocurrencies, the meme coin segment is sending mixed signals. Neiro (NEIRO), the first-ever meme coin whose contract was created by AI, added over 65% in one week. Its market capitalization exceeded $1 billion.
By contrast, Popcat (POPCAT), the largest cryptocurrency in the "Murad's meme coins" list, is among the few coins that closed this amazing week for crypto in red — together with Mantra (OM), Tron TRXUSD and Kaspa (KAS).
TON meme coins making comebacks; HMSTR leads parade
The optimism of the Dogecoin DOGEUSD community is even more catalyzed by bullish DOGE price prediction shared by macro economist Raoul Pal.
Amid all meme coins, TON-based cryptos are demonstrating the most impressive daily gains. HMSTR, the core native cryptocurrency of the overhyped tap-to-earn Telegram app Hamster Kombat, jumped by over 66% in 24 hours as whale activity increased.
Dogs (DOGS) and Resistance Dog (REDO) are up by 26-27% each, while Notcoin (NOT), the largest TON meme crypto, added 16%.
