POPCAT, BILLY enormous rallies push Solana (SOL) meme coin segment higher
The ongoing price recovery is merciless to those trying to short the crypto market. Out of $184 million liquidations in the last 24 hours, over 75% are short positions, CoinGlass data says.
When it comes to segments, Solana meme coins are the best performers in the last day. Besides the aforementioned WIF rally, this success should be attributed to the marvelous dynamics of low-cap coins.
For instance, Popcat (POPCAT) jumped by 27% and replaced Cat in Dogs World (MEW) as the largest Solana cat coin.
Lesser-known meme coin Billy (BILLY), with an X account literally including three posts, is on the verge of entering the top 250 cryptos by market cap after a spectacular 70% move.
In total, the Solana meme coin segment added 11% overnight, data says.
