The cryptocurrency is in a bearish mood today as most coins are trading in the red zone. Data from Coingecko shows that the meme coin market is up by 3.2% today to reach $109 Billion. Most of the top 10 memecoins are trading in the red zone.

On the other hand, Bitcoin is trading below the $95,000 mark. The fear and greed index has dropped to 48 in the neutral zone. The volatility of the top coin has pushed investors to meme coins for quick returns. Meme coins present the best entry point for small investors interested in the crypto market.

More regulatory clarity is expected this year as the inauguration of the President-elect draws near. These memecoins are set to explode, and they offer the best investment choices.

The ecosystem will integrate various tokens to enhance user engagement. Kusama emphasized the importance of these tokens within the community. SHIB will be the main currency, BONE will govern, and LEASH will function as a store of value. This vision aims to make Shiba Inu a leader in decentralized finance (DeFi).

In another exciting development, the Shiba Inu team announced an airdrop for TREAT tokens. The airdrop rewards loyal community members. To claim the tokens, users must follow clear steps outlined by the team.

2. Pepe (PEPE)

PEPE is trading at $0.00001782, reflecting a 0.33% increase over the past 24 hours. The coin has gained over 1131.60% year long and is expected to surge further. The trading volume of the coin stands at $1.25 Billion which is a 14.12% decrease in the past 24 hours. The market capitalization has surged to $7.5 billion.

Pepe Coin is preparing for its halving event, a major milestone in its lifecycle. Halvings typically reduce the rate of new coin issuance. This event could increase scarcity and eventually drive up demand. Investors often see halvings as a bullish signal. As the supply decreases, the value of each coin may rise. The timing of this halving is crucial as it comes as the coin’s community continues to grow.

DOGE is trading at $0.3366, reflecting a 0.20% decrease over the past 24 hours. The coin’s trading volume stands at $2.6 billion, which is a 26.04% decrease in the past 24 hours. The market capitalization has dropped 0.29% to $49.66 Billion. 

Whales have purchased $470 million worth of Dogecoin in the last 48 hours. This heavy buying could lead to higher prices. When whales buy large amounts, it often signals confidence in the asset. This could generate more demand and raise Dogecoin’s value. Investors expect this activity to push the market upwards.
