Meme Coin Mania Returns: SHIB and TRUMP Surge 9% as FLOKI, BONK Rocket Past Double Digits

Dog-themed tokens and political meme coins are back in the spotlight—because nothing says ’sound investment strategy’ like internet jokes and election-year hype. SHIB and MAGA-linked TRUMP both spiked 9% in 24 hours, while FLOKI and BONK blasted past 10% gains. Retail traders pile in, hedge funds roll their eyes.

These aren’t your grandpa’s blue-chip stocks. Meme coins thrive on viral momentum, not fundamentals—making them the ultimate casino chips of crypto. Today’s winners could be tomorrow’s dead wallets, but for now, the degens are winning.

Pro tip: Watch the liquidity, not the tweets. When the influencers cash out, the charts tend to bleed faster than a Wall Street intern’s portfolio.

Meme Coin Trend

Meme coins, cryptocurrencies inspired by internet memes and pop culture, emerged around 2013 with the creation of Dogecoin. Initially, meme coins gained traction through social media hype, particularly on platforms like Reddit and x (Twitter), with Dogecoin’s value surging in 2021 due to celebrity endorsements like Elon Musk. 

Other meme coins, such as Shiba Inu (SHIB) and PEPE also emerged while capitalizing on community-driven speculation. Their popularity wanes and waxes with the broader crypto market sentiment. Some recent trends show that meme coins are now integrating into real world applications with they also riding social media and political trends.
