Among other ongoing support for Popcat's price, such as its large market cap (above $600 million this week), high liquidity, and strong meme community
Major crypto assets were mostly down for the seven-day period leading up to Wednesday, with a 3% loss for Bitcoin and no standout performers among blue chip meme coins, except for one.
Most top coins were in the red for the week, including a 3% slide for BTC after a sudden drop in open interest for Bitcoin futures among institutional crypto investors.
After factoring in a large market cap (above $600 million this week), high liquidity, and strong meme community, one might expect a 52% gain over the past seven days to be enough for Popcat. But Binance also offered a crypto derivatives product for the Solana cat meme coin.
The exchange announced the new Popcat product a week ago on Thursday, Aug. 22. For the filthy degenerate who doesn’t find 52% weekly price gains on a meme coin exciting enough, Binance listed Popcat-USDT perpetual futures contracts with up to 75x leverage on its menu.
The company also listed futures contracts for Tron’s SUN tokens at the same time, helping the $300 million governance and utility token to fly up the charts by 91%, according to CoinMarketCap data.
Lookonchain spotted a whale-sized, $5 million purchase of Popcat using SOL tokens on Aug. 22. That probably chummed up the waters for the Popcat crowd.
Solana was the only top 10 crypto that was up for the week ending Wednesday. So that might have been why crypto markets rewarded one of its leading meme coins with massive gains.
Over the past year, enthusiasm for Solana and Ethereum’s competitor’s meme coins has been unstoppable. That was clear enough with the market-beating Bonk rally in Q4. Bonk is Solana’s answer to Ethereum’s Shiba Inu.
It posted over 7,000% ROI for 2023, according to CoinGecko data, and was the leading crypto for the year by this metric. But Pepe did warn last year that the dog days are over. Popcat delivered the most ROI out of all major meme coins in Q1 this year. The performance this week shows the big cat’s market has the fever to keep pumping in Q3.
