Memecoins on Fire: DOGE, SHIB, and FART Ignite a $77B Surge
The memeverse is having a moment. Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and even Fartcoin are leading a historic surge, with memecoin market cap soaring past $77 billion and trading volume up 43.6% in 24 hours. This isn’t just hype — it’s a full-blown cultural rally.
The Great Memecoin Reawakening
Call it post-halving euphoria. Call it retail FOMO. Or just call it Fartcoin madness — but one thing’s clear: the memecoin market is back with a bang.
In the last 24 hours:
- Total crypto market cap: $4.1 trillion (+4.09%)
- Memecoin market cap: $77.32 billion (+10%)
- Memecoin trading volume: $12.86 billion (+43.62%)
For context, that’s more volume than most major Layer-1 blockchains see in a week. And the leaders? The usual suspects — and a few wildcards.
DOGE: The Patriarch Leads the Charge
Dogecoin didn’t just rally — it roared.
- Price: $0.2476 (+11.73% in 24h)
- Market cap: $37.27B (+$1.77B in a day)
- Volume: $4.11B (+73%)
DOGE is now trading above all key EMAs — 20, 50, 100, and 200-day — a textbook bullish alignment. If momentum holds, analysts are eyeing $0.30 next, with $0.38 possible in a full-blown mania.
But with great gains come great liquidations:
- Total DOGE liquidations: $24.71M
- Largest single wipeout: A $9.82M long on Binance
That’s the danger of riding the Shiba Inu rocket — one wrong tweet, and the parachutes deploy.
SHIB: The Empire Strikes Back
Shiba Inu, the self-proclaimed “Dogecoin killer,” is reminding everyone it’s still in the game.
- Price: $0.00001396 (+8.91%)
- Market cap: $8.26B (+$277M)
- Weekly gain: 15%
While less volatile than DOGE, SHIB’s ecosystem is quietly growing — with Shibarium, NFTs, and decentralized exchange ShibaSwap gaining traction. Still, most of the action remains speculative.
On the liquidation front:
- Shorts wiped out: $111.62K
- Longs liquidated: $126.446K
A tight battle — but bulls are in control for now.
Fartcoin: Yes, That’s a Real Thing — and It’s Up 30%
Welcome to crypto, where anything with a pulse can moon.
Fartcoin (FART) — yes, really — surged 30.96% to $1.10, with:
- Market cap: $1.1B (+31%)
- Volume spike: +133%
- Weekly gain: 20%
And no, it’s not a joke token anymore — at $1.1B, it’s larger than many serious DeFi protocols.
Liquidations tell the story of a speculative frenzy:
- Total liquidated: $12.3M
- Short squeeze: $2.36M in shorts blown out vs. just $928K in longs
That’s the power of a meme: when the narrative flips, the shorts pay the price.
The Other Movers: CREPE, MOOMOO, and the Long-Tail Lunacy
While DOGE, SHIB, and FART stole the show, the memecoin long tail was on fire:
- CREPE, DTR, OMALLEY, MOOMMOO, MARIE, ROCKY, SHIRO — all posted double- or triple-digit gains.
- Many are built on Solana or Base, riding the wave of low-cost, high-speed chains perfect for viral tokens.
This is the new memecoin playbook:
- Launch with a ridiculous name.
- Pump via social media blitz.
- Get listed on decentralized exchanges.
- Ride the wave until the next meme appears.
It’s not investing. It’s cultural arbitrage.
Bonk Joins the Party
Even Bonk, Solana’s original dog-themed memecoin, got in on the action:
- Price: $0.00002694 (+13%)
- Short liquidations: $183.49K
- Long liquidations: Only $29.93K — meaning bears got crushed.
When memecoins rally, everyone rallies — even the ones named after a cartoon dog’s bark.
Why This Matters: The Memecoin Thermometer
Memecoins are the canary in the coal mine for retail sentiment.
When DOGE, SHIB, and absurdities like FART are pumping:
- Risk appetite is high
- Retail is back
- The next bull leg may be starting
They don’t have fundamentals. They don’t need them.
What they have is attention — and in crypto, attention is liquidity.
The Flip Side: Beware the Liquidation Guillotine
With great volume comes great volatility.
Total memecoin liquidations in 24h:
- DOGE: $24.7M
- FART: $12.3M
- SHIB: $238K
- BONK: $213K
These are landmine levels of leverage. A single negative headline — a SEC tweet, a Musk joke, a whale dump — could trigger a cascade.
The Verdict: Memes Move Markets
Love them or hate them, memecoins are back in charge.
They’re not building the future of finance.
They’re building the future of viral wealth.
And in a market where narrative is king, sometimes the dumbest coin wins.
So while the suits debate tokenomics, the crowd is busy turning Fartcoin into a billion-dollar brand.
Welcome to Web3.
