From Dogecoin to Shiba Inu: Meme Tokens Dominate Monday’s Market Gains

Meme tokens have emerged as the frontrunners this Monday, with BTC nearly touching its all-time high from November 2021.

The runner-up in the meme coin category is shiba inu (SHIB), which surged 58.7% in the last day and an astounding 250.5% over the week. Pepe (PEPE) enjoyed a 38.8% increase on Monday and, over the week, has soared by 409.6%. Bonk (BONK) experienced a 72.8% jump during the 24-hour span, with a weekly increase of 260.0%.

Dogwifhat (WIF) encountered a decline today, falling 6% against the U.S. dollar, although WIF has surged 295.7% this week.
