現在，柴犬的市值落後狗狗幣不到 40 億美元，並且即將挑戰狗狗幣作為最大的迷因幣。

The heightened activity on meme coin has benefited a lot of Ether traders, as they have drawn more traders to decentralized exchanges (DEXs) on Ethereum, where trading volumes have seen a 40% increase over the week to $20.74 billion, according to data from DeFiLlama. 

根據DeFiLlama 的數據，meme 幣的活躍度使許多以太幣交易者受益，因為它們吸引了更多交易者來到以太坊上的去中心化交易所(DEX)，交易量在一周內增長了40%至207.4 億美元。

The price of gas fees has also surged in tandem. According to ITB, average gas fees on the blockchain rose to as high as $28 this week. Interestingly, the total money spent on gas fees daily reached $38.02 million on March 5, the highest recorded since May 2023. 

Gas 費價格也隨之飆漲。據 ITB 稱，本週區塊鏈上的平均 Gas 費升至 28 美元。有趣的是，3 月 5 日每天用於 Gas 費的總金額達到 3802 萬美元，這是自 2023 年 5 月以來的最高記錄。
