Latest Meme Coin News and Insights | Yellow.com

A failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump has sent shockwaves through crypto markets. The incident occurred during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, and now memecoins are the first to react to this. Trump-themed memecoins saw significant price surges. MAGA (TRUMP) token jumped 52% in under an hour. Its market cap shot up from $293 million to $469 million. Someone is already cracking jokes on why don't we shoot them more often, though, of course, that sounds pretty rough. Other Trump-related tokens also rallied. Tremp (TREMP) spiked 63%. MAGA Hat (MAGA) briefly rose 21%. Prediction markets reacted swiftly. Trump's odds of winning the 2024 election increased from 60% to 68% on Polymarket. Biden's chances dropped from 30% to 15%. Right-wing warriors rejoice and call to arms, democrats are mostly silent, as if they already know the loss is inevitable. Trump now leads with a 70% chance of victory. Biden trails at 15%, with Kamala Harris at 9%. As for the crypto market, Trump is seen as a rather positive force, at least now. He previously called Bitcoin a "scam". Now he's promising to end the "war on crypto" if elected. He even went as far as to promise new bright future for Bitcoin mining, and claimed every last Bitcoin must be mined in the U.S. to be 'made in the USA'. Recent surveys show crypto's growing political influence. One in three US voters consider candidates' crypto positions. Another poll found 48% of crypto owners backing Trump, versus 39% for Biden.

The meme coin market experienced significant turbulence this week. Top tokens saw dramatic price fluctuations. News events and community actions drove these changes as always, but meme coins also took heavy hits from the outside world. Dogecoin (DOGE) stumbled initially. An Elon Musk tweet failed to spark enthusiasm, causing a 5% drop. But rumors of an e-commerce partnership reversed the trend. DOGE closed the week up 3%. Shiba Inu (SHIB) made a strong comeback. A new DeFi integration announcement propelled it up 12%. Enthusiastic community support pushed SHIB to new weekly highs. Pepe (PEPE) was the week's most stable performer. It surged 18% after launching a new NFT collection. This move tapped into investor nostalgia and excitement. Then it went back to its usual positions. A newcomer, dogwifhat (DOGWH), turned heads with a 15% fall, that followed an amazing 20% jump. Viral social media posts fueled its rise. Fresh investors piled in, drawn by the buzz. Bonk (BONK) had a solid week, climbing 4%. A successful community giveaway event drove the increase. It showcased the power of grassroots initiatives in the meme coin space. Floki (FLOKI) went on a wild ride. A Viking-themed marketing campaign initially boosted it 7%. Profit-taking then led to a 5% dip. FLOKI still ended slightly up for the week, as vikings never surrender, you know. Brett (BRETT) saw a 10% uptick, and then rolled down for 3%. New partnerships with emerging crypto platforms enhanced its appeal. The vocal Brett community played a key role in sustaining momentum. Mog Coin (MOG) truly went through the wringer. It dropped 10% on negative sentiment, then rebounded 15% after launching a staking feature. Talk about a rollercoaster! Book of Meme (BOM) steadily gained 4%. Small but positive platform updates drove its performance. BOM's consistency continued to attract new investors. We love stability, of course. And we lack it so desperately. Dog (Runes) faced headwinds, dropping 8%. Market corrections and regulatory concerns were to blame, no doubt. Yet, the community remained upbeat about future developments. To sum up, this week's events highlight the meme coin market's unpredictability that goes far beyond the ordinary altcoins. But that's why we love meme coins, right? They are insanely fun and insanely risky. That's probably not what Satoshi intended for us, but who says we can't have fun while Daddy is away.

Solana (SOL) is currently in bearish territory. Prices are up at spot rates. The downtrend persists. Bulls need to push prices above $155, then $190, to change this outlook. One analyst on X is bullish on SOL. They predict significant gains in coming months. The analyst sees parallels with Ethereum's 2018 performance. SOL might outperform the broader market. The analyst targets at least $2,800 in the next bull cycle. This forecast is based on SOL's recent price action. Ethereum hit $1,400 in 2018. It then crashed below $100. Solana peaked at $240 in 2021. It later plummeted to $8 in November 2022. FTX's collapse worsened the dump. The analyst noted ETH's sharp rally after its crash. It surged over 20X within 660 days. SOL's retracement depth mirrors ETH's 2018 drop. This similarity fuels the bullish prediction. Several factors drive this optimism. Solana's rising prominence is key. Developers are flocking to the network. Low fees and high scalability are the main draws. Meme coins are booming on Solana. BONK and BOME, worth billions, run on the platform. This trend is boosting Solana's profile. At some point Solana might turn out to be the ultimate place for all the leading meme coins to live, and that's going to be a really big deal. Recent ETF developments are another positive sign. VanEck and 21Shares have applied for spot Solana ETFs. These filings are still early-stage. The SEC will review them rigorously. Hopes are high due to recent spot Ethereum ETF developments, though nobody can tell for sure that this is about to happen with a high level of certainty. If approved, a spot Solana ETF could be a game-changer. It would allow institutional exposure to SOL. This institutional interest could push prices higher. The analyst's $2,800 target suddenly doesn't look so crazy. But as always in crypto, only time will tell.

Football superstar Lionel Messi has endorsed WaterCoin, a Solana-based memecoin. He promoted it on Instagram Stories. The coin claims to focus on water-related issues. Its roadmap outlines four stages. These include a token presale and celebrity partnerships. The final goal is to become a "charity-focused environmental currency". The roadmap lacks detailed plans. The token's price action resembles "pump and dump" patterns. This raises concerns about its legitimacy. In general, memecoin investments are risky, we all know that. Price increases often don't reflect utility. Many memecoins lack real use cases. Despite risks, traders continue to invest, hoping for large profits. Everyone still remembers Dogecoin and Shiba Inu enormous success, and of course, we all want to be those investors who see the opportunity first. This trend has sparked debate in the crypto community. Critics argue memecoins harm cryptocurrency's image. They also fear increased regulatory scrutiny. Others see value in memecoins. Supporters claim memecoins can indicate market trends. They may gauge sentiment. Some argue they foster valuable communities. The memecoin phenomenon continues to grow. It reflects broader market dynamics. Investors should approach with caution. Messi's endorsement highlights celebrity influence in crypto. It also underscores the blurring lines between finance and entertainment. The WaterCoin case exemplifies the complexities of the current crypto landscape. It raises questions about sustainability, celebrity endorsements, and investor behavior.

A new multichain Play-to-Earn (P2E) meme coin, PlayDoge ($PLAY), has raised $5.4 million in its first month of presale. Rumor has it, it might become 'the new meme coin king'. Not everybody believes it, though. Several YouTube crypto analysts have highlighted the token as a promising presale opportunity. PlayDoge powers a Web3 remake of the 90s Tamagotchi game. Players care for a virtual Doge, earning $PLAY tokens for their efforts. The iconic Doge meme has inspired six of the top ten meme coins by market capitalization. Presale investors can currently purchase tokens for just over half a cent. Early buyers may secure the lowest price for the year. Some speculate the token could surpass Dogecoin's $0.14 level or even reach $1 after launch. The game incentivizes players to become attentive virtual pet owners. Users accumulate XP by tending to their Shiba Inu and participating in mini-games. Top performers on the leaderboard receive bonus tokens and exclusive rewards. PlayDoge offers a more forgiving experience than the original Tamagotchi. Players can also earn $PLAY passively through staking. Early stakers enjoy APYs of 104% on Ethereum and 74% on BNB Chain. The project allocates 50% of its 9.4 billion token supply to the presale. Another 12% is reserved for staking rewards. PlayDoge's home chain is BNB Chain, formerly Binance Smart Chain. This connection could hint at a potential Binance listing, and that is huge. We all remember that Binance currently holds a 49% market share on the global crypto market. SolidProof has fully audited PlayDoge's smart contract, addressing security concerns. Investors can join the presale using BNB, ETH, USDT, or credit cards.
