WIF: A New Meme Coin Based on Solana
WIF is a recently introduced meme coin that operates on the Solana network. It gained attention within the crypto community during December 2023 due to the overall excitement surrounding Solana and its ecosystem. In January, Dogwifhat experienced another surge in popularity, with a price increase of 71% and rising to become the ninth-largest meme coin.
Rumors about WIF being listed on Binance further fueled the rally after reports of memcoins collapsing on Solana following their gains in December 2023.
