Pepe, dogwifhat, Floki Explode Amid Searing Memecoin Rally — Dogecoin, Shiba Inu Rise As Well

The injection of positive volatility sent memecoins rallying Monday, with coins from the sector emerging as the cryptocurrency market's biggest gainers. 

What Happened: Frog-themed Pepe was the best-performing cryptocurrency in the last 24 hours, with gains upwards of 25%. Its trading volume surged 90% to $1.5 billion, making it the most-traded memecoin over the last 24 hours. 

Solana SOL/USD-based dogwifhat was the second-highest gainer on the day, followed by Ethereum ETH/USD-based Floki. Both dog-themed coins recorded healthy upticks in 24-hour trading volumes. 

Additionally, blue-chip memecoins in the market also registered significant spikes. Shiba Inu SHIB/USD jumped more than 10% to $0.00001988, while pioneer Dogecoin DOGE/USD soared 7% to $0.1261.
