**Pepeโs Value Soars by 50% as Sponge Climbs 24%**
In a recent surge, the value of Pepe, a meme coin, has jumped over 50%, reaching a market cap of $2.6 billion. Additionally, Sponge, another meme coin, has seen a 24% increase in value. While Pepe is experiencing significant bullish momentum, an analyst warns investors to โstay awayโ from the coin due to potential price volatility.
**Pepeโs Monumental Success**
Pepe has experienced remarkable success recently, with its value surging by 51% in a single day, 359% over the course of a week, and a staggering 574% in a month. Currently trading at $0.000006314, Pepe has reclaimed its all-time high (ATH) from May and is now in price discovery mode.
The surge in Pepeโs value can be attributed to Binanceโs initiative to launch Pepe on its Simple Earn platform at the end of February. As part of the campaign, Binance distributed 700,000 Pepe to the first 50,000 members who signed up. The platform also introduced a staking program that offers up to a 9% annual percentage yield (APY) to users who deposit their tokens. This staking program encourages users to lock their Pepe tokens, reducing sell pressure.
**Analyst Warns of Potential Price Volatility**
Despite Pepeโs bullish momentum, analyst Crypto Patel from CoinMarketCap advises caution when it comes to investing in Pepe. Patel initially predicted an explosive rise for Pepe but now warns market participants to โstay awayโ from the coin. He references Pepeโs previous trajectory in May when it reached its ATH and then experienced a deep retracement. Patel suggests that a similar occurrence may happen again.
However, other analysts argue that this is just the beginning for Pepe and that it is undergoing an unprecedented trajectory. Max Schwartzman, the CEO of Because Bitcoin, believes that Pepe is following a severely expedited version of what DOGE did in 2020-2021. Based on his analysis, Schwartzman predicts that Pepe could experience 15-20x gains in the next 2-5 weeks. Notably, Schwartzman gained attention for preempting the Pepe breakout before it occurred.
**Other Meme Coins on the Rise**
Pepe is not the only meme coin experiencing bullish momentum. Over the past week, several other meme coins have seen significant increases in value:
โ Dogwifhat: Up 336%
โ Floki: Up 298%
โ Bonk: Up 168%
โ Shiba Inu: Up 136%
The next meme coin that looks poised to break out is Sponge, which has seen a 24% increase in value this week and recently surpassed a crucial resistance level.
**The Hype around New Sponge V2 Token**
Sponge, born during the bear market of 2023 alongside Pepe, initially achieved a market cap of $100 million. It secured listings on more than ten prominent exchanges and gained a substantial following on social media with 30K followers and 13K holders. Now, with the industry potentially entering another historic bull run, the Sponge team has launched Sponge V2 to capture the incoming liquidity.
Sponge V2 is an upgraded version of the original Sponge token, migrating from Polygon to Ethereum and introducing play-to-earn (P2E) and staking features. Staked tokens on Sponge V2 offer a remarkable annual percentage yield (APY) of 664%. The migration to Ethereum brings lower fees, faster execution times, and more demand streams for Sponge V2. Since its launch on February 9, Sponge V2 has experienced a surge in demand, with a 75% increase in value. This week, the token has seen a 24% gain, solidifying its previous ATH as a support level.
With a market cap of only $65 million, Sponge has significant potential for a 4,000% gain to catch up to its bear market contemporary, Pepe. Traders may see this as their last opportunity to buy Sponge at its current low price.
**Hot Take: The Future of Pepe and Sponge**
As Pepe continues its meteoric rise and Sponge shows promise, investors should proceed with caution and conduct their own research before making any investment decisions. The meme coin market is known for its volatility and speculative nature. While some analysts predict further gains for Pepe and Sponge, others warn of potential retracements and advise staying away from peak price levels. It is crucial to stay informed and make informed decisions when investing in meme coins.
