Memecoins are crucial to the blockchain and the cryptocurrency community, and Binance Research highlights their unique value proposition. According to Binance rerport, the rise of memecoins coincides with the expansion of the world’s money supply. As money and capital become readily accessible, risk-on investments like Bitcoin, altcoins, and memecoins become attractive options. Related Reading: Solana Rockets Past BNB To Claim Coveted 4th Spot In Crypto Ranks Although memecoins promise a strong upside, they are also a high-risk investment since they’re highly speculative and have few use cases. However, their recent performance seems to defy the odds—their market cap was up by 22% immediately after the US election. Doge and PEPE coins are two of the top gainers among coins this Wednesday, adding 15% and 11% to their values, respectively. Binance Research: 75% Of All Memecoins Were Launched Last Year According to a November 2024 Binance research, meme currencies are growing in popularity because people are now looking at risk-on investments. The report adds that the global money supply is expanding, and many retail investors are looking at alternative ways to generate wealth. This niche’s market value has tripled since 2022, thanks to these coins’ popularity. Binance’s report also mentioned the regulator’s distrust of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). With this order, developers will now consider private venture capital funding (VCs) to promote their projects. Experts call this the “Low Float and High FDV” approach, meaning only a few tokens are available for trading but boast a higher valuation. Memecoins Remain An Accessible Investment Option While the approach benefits developers and early adopters, it may put regular investors at risk. As such, many retail investors look for memes as alternative investment options. These are the primary reasons why meme tokens are popular and highly accessible to all. Binance adds that roughly 75% of all meme currencies were launched last year. The Binance team acknowledged that many found launching these projects easy, but sustaining their operations is challenging. According to the same report, around 97% of all memecoins have died, and the rest struggle but managed to ride on the election hype this year.

The bet paid off, and the memecoins’ market cap is now above $73 billion, reflecting a 22% increase. Featured image from xtsupport.zendesk.com, chart from TradingView

Just hours away from the US presidential elections, PolitiFi tokens have seen a remarkable boost. The sector has experienced a nearly 10% surge in the last 24 hours, with Trump-themed memecoins leading the way. Following the recent performance, some investors forecast a massive rally for these tokens in the coming days. Related Reading: Is The Bitcoin Bull Market Over? Analyst Reveals Bear Case That Could Send Price To $28,000 Trump-Themed Memecoins See 30% Jump The PolitiFi sector gained popularity after several memecoins inspired by US politicians registered a massive performance earlier this year. Some tokens had their market capitalization break above the $100 million mark, with a couple still holding the feat. Memecoins inspired by the former US President and Republican candidate Donald J. Trump have led the sector throughout his presidential campaign. The tokens recorded massive rallies this year, hitting their peak during Q2. Cryptocurrencies like MAGA (TRUMP) and Doland Tremp (TREMP) hit the $17 and $1.5 marks, respectively, as their all-time high (ATH), fueled by Trump’s crypto-friendly statements. However, most of these cryptocurrencies have retraced significantly since June, pulling back over 70% in most cases. Now that the elections are just hours away, the PolitiFi sector is soaring again, surging around 10% in the last 24 hours, while the crypto market sees a 1.5% retrace. Memecoins themed after Trump held their lead, registering green performance during the past day. TRUMP has seen a 26% surge in the last 24 hours, trading above the $3.8 range. Meanwhile, MAGA Hat (MAGA) records a 32.6% price jump in the same timeframe, nearing a $90 million market cap earlier today. MAGA’s daily trading activity has also increased nearly 30%, registering a $41.7 million trading volume on the last day. PolitiFi Tokens In The Hands Of The Election The sector’s rally is seemingly fueled by the anticipation surrounding the elections. Notably, volatility is forecasted to peak in the following days as speculation about the election’s outcome increases. Some investors believe the PolitiFi token’s rally will continue in the following days, with Trump-themed memecoins expected to skyrocket in case of Trump’s victory. Just 10 hours before the election, the Republican candidate’s winning odds are considerably higher than the Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris. Polymarket’s live forecast shows that Trump leads the prediction market with a 15% gap. Following the presidential debate, the former president lost ground to the US Vice President in early September. At the time, the Democratic nominee surpassed Trump’s winning odds by 4%. However, these have seen a significant retrace in the last month. Related Reading: ADA Slips Below $0.3389 Level, Deeper Downtrend Looming?

Amid Trump’s winning odds, the memecoins inspired by the US VP have recorded a considerable decrease in the past day.

Floki Inu (FLOKI) is having a hard time because of bearish patterns in the market, which is making buyers nervous. Some predictions say the price could go up by 220%, hitting $0.00044 by November 26, 2024. However, new research shows that the short-term technical signs point in a different direction. Related Reading: MicroStrategy Stock Hits All-Time High As Bitcoin Blazes Past $67,000 Crypto analyst Alan Santana has pointed out that the token’s current sideways movement may signal further declines. Since reaching a high in March 2024, FLOKI has been trapped in a bearish trend, unable to regain its previous momentum. After a brief rally in June, the price has stagnated, reflecting a shift in market sentiment. According to Santana, traders should “prepare for the crash”, given the current negative market dynamics in play, based on his examination of the memecoin’s price movement. #Altcoins | #FLOKI ✴️ Floki Inu Major Drop Now Imminent: Prepare For The Crash! I remember we traded Floki Inu successfully on the bullish side, it was a nice ride, do you remember? Market conditions have changed. Notice the huge green candles in February 2024, these are about… pic.twitter.com/5OrScWHNeb — Alan Santana (@lamatrades1111) October 27, 2024 Analyzing The Current Dynamics The current technical indicators show a disturbing trend for Floki Inu. It seems the token is experiencing a long consolidation phase, which can be termed as a “distribution phase,” and the sellers are in charge. The heavy trading volumes during its earlier bullish moves, particularly in February and March, have shifted to heavy selling in recent weeks. As of now, FLOKI trades at $0.0001315, down 1.20% over the past day, and many are watching key support levels closely. Two really important support zones have developed. Should the bearish trend persist, analysts estimate FLOKI would retest the initial support level at $0.00009557. Should that break, the token may drop to a possible lowest value of $0.00004200. For those clinging to their tokens, this situation begs questions about whether it is time to change their stance. Fibonacci Levels Suggest Weakness Another technical indicator that is negative in its sentiment is the Fibonacci retracing levels. Most importantly, for FLOKI to dominate the market, it has been consistently rejected at the 0.618 and 0.786 levels. The persistent rejection of the price here indicates that the positive feeling is being crushed. Price action shows that FLOKI will go below its current trading range, which piles on more pressure on the holders as well. Caution For Investors In view of these contradictory messages, investors should still be extremely cautious. Since the immediate future seems hard, many predictions indicate there’s going to be an uptrend, and investors can hit a price that might reach $0.00044 at the end of November. However, many traders remain skeptical given the current sentiment. Related Reading: Whales Hit All-Time High Bitcoin Holdings At 670,000 – What Does This Mean For BTC? The Fear & Greed Index reads at 69, marking a greed level in the market. It is basically what leads to downturns. For the last month, FLOKI had its green days at 43%, volatility rate at 7.48%. Prior to making any decisions, it could be prudent for individuals wishing to enter the market to wait for more distinct indications of positive mood.

In a year marked by significant volatility in the cryptocurrency market, memecoins have emerged as key players, outperforming Bitcoin (BTC) and the rest of the largest cryptocurrencies in the ecosystem. This trend was underlined by recent insights from market expert Miles Deutscher, who highlighted a presentation by memecoin analyst Murad at the TOKEN2049 conference in Singapore. Memecoins Challenge Traditional Cryptocurrencies According to Murad, only 43 tokens have surpassed Bitcoin’s performance in 2024, with 13 of those being memecoins. Notably, eight of the top ten performers in the market this year are also memecoins. Murad emphasized that this cycle is distinct from previous ones, asserting, “The memecoin cycle is not a prediction; it has already begun—memecoins are dominating by virtually every metric.” Related Reading: TON Recovery Stalls: Another Price Decline Hinders Bullish Efforts The rise of memecoins can be attributed to several factors, particularly their ability to resonate with retail investors seeking community, identity, and excitement, rather than merely potential financial gains. As Murad puts it, “Memecoins are a superior version of altcoins.” The appeal of memecoins extends beyond speculation; it is alleged that they have cultivated a culture that fosters community and “emotional connection” among investors. Murad noted that these tokens enable users to engage in a shared experience, bringing real value through stories that “create trends and spark movements”. Success stories of significant gains—such as those seen with tokens like dogwifhat (WIF) and Pepecoin (PEPE)—propagate quickly, fueling interest and excitement in the memecoin space over the past year. According to Deutscher, the most successful cryptocurrencies have developed strong communities, often resembling “cult-like followings.” Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin have thrived on this dynamic, and memecoins are fully embracing it. SPX And GIGA Capture Retail Attention Murad further explained that the recent performance of altcoins on platforms like Binance has further fueled the memecoin narrative. Almost every altcoin listed this year is trading below its listing price, with only two exceptions: WIF, a memecoin, and JUP, which facilitates memecoin trading. Murad further alleges that retail investors prioritize making money (70%), having fun (20%), and feeling a sense of belonging (10%). Murad argues that memecoins embody this speculative nature, akin to the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) boom of 2017, but in a new form. Instead of initial coin offerings, Murad sees that memecoins are allowing early-stage investments at lower valuations, which contrasts sharply with altcoins, where most upside is captured in private markets. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Turns Green In October Once Again, Is The Bull Run Here? Deutscher also praised that as the memecoin phenomenon continues to grow, Murad’s insights have already influenced market dynamics, sparking one of the strongest memecoin rallies of the year. Tokens dubbed “Murad coins,” such as SPX and GIGA, have seen substantial gains, resonating with retail investors who are drawn to the excitement of potential profits. At the time of writing, the SPX is trading at $0.575, up a remarkable 35% in the 24 hour time frame, showing the impact of Murad’s participation in the TOKEN2049 in early September this year.
