Meme Coins Surge Amidst Market Boom

Meme coins have witnessed remarkable growth as the cryptocurrency market continues to surge, with Dogecoin taking the lead.

Data from CoinGecko indicates an 18% increase in the total meme coin market capitalization within the past 24 hours, reaching $94 billion. Trading volume has also spiked to $51 billion, reflecting high investor interest.

The meme coin rally commenced upon the victory of Republican candidate Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential elections last week.
