• Meme coins have a market cap of over $60 billion.

• Tokens like Pepe and Bonk have made many millionaires.

• SolJu could be the next big thing in the meme coin industry.

Meme coins have done well this year, as they outperformed most mainstream coins like Bitcoin, Ether, and Ripple. Some, like Pepe and Book of Meme (BOME) have surged to a record high while the total market cap of all coins has soared to over $60 billion. SolJu, an upcoming Solana meme coin, could be the next big thing in the industry.

Why meme coins soared

There are three main reasons why meme coins have done well this year. First, most of these tokens soared as a sense of greed spread in the market. The fear and greed index has mostly been in the green this year as investors anticipated rate cuts by central banks like the Federal Reserve and the ECB. 

Second, meme coins jumped because of Bitcoin’s performance. Bitcoin, the biggest crypto in the world, jumped to a record high in March as investors cheered the approval of Bitcoin ETFs by the Federal Reserve. Since then, these funds have seen inflows of over 800k Bitcoins and the trend may continue.

The focus now shifts to the upcoming approval of Ethereum ETFs. In a statement last week, Gary Gensler predicted that these approvals will happen later this year. 

Meme coins tend to do well when Bitcoin is thriving because of their cheaper prices. As a result, most investors buy them instead of the highly expensive coins like Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash. 

Additionally, the concept of meme trading has rebounded as evidenced by companies like GameStop and AMC. Also, traders are being incentivised to buy meme coins by activities in social media.

SolJu could be the next big thing

Now, focus among meme crypto investors has shifted to SolJu, a new Solana meme coin that will be launched on Tuesday. 

This is a meme coin that has been inspired by the success of Beercoin, a token whose market cap jumped to over $300 million recently. 

Its name is derived from Sol – for Solana – and Soju, a popular South Korean spirit. As such, the hope is that the token will be a social platform where Solju holders will gather and form a makeshift gathering with beer and food. 

SolJu will forego the popular route of a token sale. Instead, the developers are planning a fair sale, where all tokens will be released and then the market discovery will help to determine its value. 

The initial supply of the token will be 100 million tokens while the initial liquidity will be $12,000. The starting price will be $0.00012, giving it room to grow in the coming months.

After the launch, the developers aim to boost its price through exchange listings, games, and partnerships in the crypto community. You can learn more about SolJu here.

Monero price continued to defy gravity as it surged to its highest point since January 30th. It has surged by over 80% from its lowest level this year, giving it a market cap of over $3.2 billion. The focus among cryptocurrencies is now shifting to the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rates decision and the ongoing ETF inflows.

Monero is defying gravity

Cryptocurrencies wavered on Monday as focus remained on the upcoming Fed decision. Bitcoin held steady below the crucial resistance point at $70,000. Other big cryptocurrencies like Ether and Solana remained in a tight range.

Many altcoins, on the other hand, went through a major sell-off as concerns about the Federal Reserve continued. This sell-off happened after the US published strong jobs numbers on Friday, raising the possibility that the Fed will hold rates steady in this week’s meeting. 

Monero, the biggest privacy coin in the world, was the best-performing token even though there was no major ecosystem news. Notably, the rally continued as Monero formed a golden cross pattern, which happens when the 50-day and 200-day moving averages cross each other. 

In most cases, this is one of the most popular bullish signs in the market. Most importantly, the token has risen above the key resistance level at $180, its highest swing in December last year.

Therefore, there is a likelihood that the bull run will continue in the coming days. If this happens, it will likely surge to the next level at $200. The stop-loss of this trade will be at $170. 

BitBot is seeing strong traction

It is against this backdrop that the BitBot token is gaining more traction in the market a few weeks after it concluded its highly-successful token sale. The developers raised over $4.3 million from investors. 

BitBot’s token sale was highly successful because of what the network is promising. According to its website, the developers are aiming to create the biggest AI-powered Telegram trading bot. 

This is notable because of Telegram’s scale as one of the biggest social media companies in the world with over 900 million users. 

The Telegram bot industry is doing well as demand for trading solutions jump globally. Recent data showed that these bots account to over $164 million worth of tokens every day.

As such, there are signs that it will gain traction because of its emphasis on AI and security. Unlike other Telegram bots, BitBot will be a non-custodial platform, meaning that its developers will not have access to users funds. 

BitBot’s developers are now working on the application. They are also preparing to launch the claiming process for the token. This is a situation where those who bought the tokens will be able to claim them when they start trading. Learn more about BitBot here.

• BlastUP recently concluded its presale, raising more than $8 million.
• BlastUP’s impressive raise marks the first milestone for the community-backed launchpad project on the Blast blockchain.
• Upcoming launches of Blastboxes V2, airdrops and other exclusive offers has the BlastUP community abuzz as the crypto industry braces for a fresh bull run.

BlastUP, a new launchpad platform on the Blast blockchain, raised over $8 million in its recently concluded BLP token presale.

According to details shared with CoinJournal, the BlastUP presale launched in February and ended on May 31. The presale offered 20% of the total supply of 1 billion BLP to early buyers.

BlastUP managed to secure a total of $8,095,148 from nearly 20,000 participants, the team added in a post shared on X.

“It has been an incredible journey for us! The amount we raised is extraordinary for the Blast L2 Ecosystem. Thank you for your unwavering dedication, encouragement, and belief in our vision. We couldn’t have done it without you,” the BlastUP team said, acknowledging the community’s support.

BlastUP token launch soon

BlastUP has gained a lot of attention within the Blast ecosystem, because it offers a novel mechanism for startups to secure early-stage investments, while enabling BLP holders to invest in these startups. 

BLP is BlastUP’s native utility token, which holders can use to invest in new startups via tiered IDO launches. BlastUP token holders can also earn up to 12% APR in staking rewards, and tap into other incentive programs and loyalty rewards.

Proving the success of this model, BlastUP has also seen three successful IDOs launch on the platform:

• CYBRO, an AI-powered yield aggregator on Blast, managed an impressive $150,000 in less than a week
• GameFi platform Petobots raced to a $75,000 raise in four days 
• JuicyBet, a Web3 multi-chain platform for GambleFi, netted $50,000 in just two days.

As the Blast ecosystem looks forward to the Token Generation Event (TGE), there’s growing excitement around what’s next for BLP.

Some users see BlastUP’s recent announcement for initiatives such as the launch of Blastboxes V2 and airdrop campaigns as fresh opportunities to acquire $BLP at an advantageous rate.

An upbeat Blast ecosystem community may also view this as a golden opportunity for those likely to have missed the BLP presale.

Growth across crypto

BlastUP’s impressive presale raise comes amid a fresh buzz around crypto as Bitcoin jumped to above $71k again. Memecoins have also been on a tear, while the biggest gainer among the top altcoins today was BNB.

Elsewhere, the AI space continues to attract attention amid major developments from tech giants Google, Microsoft and chipmaker Nvidia.

Key takeaways

• Bitcoin is trading above $69k once again and is now targeting the $70k psychological level. 
• Piggy Bankster is scheduled to launch on the Solana blockchain tomorrow

Bitcoin targets $70k

The cryptocurrency market is having a positive start to the week, with BTC and other major altcoins performing well. At press time, the price of Bitcoin stands at $69,070, up by more than 1% in the last 24 hours.

With the broader market performing well so far, BTC could target the $70k psychological level in the near term. 

Piggy Bankster prepares for launch

The cryptocurrency market has had an excellent run year-to-date, with most coins and tokens up by more than 50% during that period. As more investors troop into the market, exciting projects continue to emerge.

One project that is set to launch on the Solana blockchain this week is Piggy Bankster, a pig gangster-themed meme coin. 

The Piggy Bankster ($PIGS) launch is scheduled for June 4, 2024, and according to the development team it will be designed as a fair launch on the Solana network, allowing investors to acquire the token from the outset without any tiered price increases.

The total supply of Piggy Bankster tokens is set at 100,000,000 $PIGS, with 100% of this supply being allocated to the liquidity pool. The mem ecoin’s initial liquidity stands at $12,000, with a starting price of $0.00012 per $PIGS. 

What is Piggy Bankster? The new Solana meme coin

With the Piggy Bankster launch just a few hours away, now’s the time to find out more about this project. Piggy Bankster is a meme coin on the Solana blockchain. However, while the meme coin space is dominated by Dog, Frog, and Cat characters like Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Pepe, and Popcat, Piggy Bankster is introducing something fresh to the ecosystem.

It is a pig gangster-themed project represented by a pig nicknamed Piggy Bankster. According to their official website, Piggy Bankster struggled his way out of the slums of Swine City and reached the top of the criminal underworld.

Piggy Bankster is a crime boss who only appears on-chain donning a pin-striped suit. Piggy has, does, and will blast anyone in his way and is notorious for his ruthlessness. The pig values loyalty above all and looks after those who serve him faithfully.

Piggy Bankster’s launch comes at a time when meme coins are experiencing massive adoption in the crypto ecosystem. At the moment, there are seven meme coins in the top 100 list, including Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Pepe, Book of Meme (BOME), Dogwifhat (WIF), Bonk, and Floki.

Solana has become home to some of the leading meme coins thanks to the network’s speed and transparency. Piggy Bankster is now looking to leverage Solana’s features for its $PIGS token.

• Meme coins have outperformed mainstream cryptocurrencies this year.

• These tokens have attracted substantial hype from investors and traders.

• Piggy Bankster aims to be the next big name in the meme coin industry.

Meme coins have done well this year, outperforming popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano. Pepe,  launched in 2023, has soared to a record high, giving it a market cap of over $6 billion. 

Why meme coins soared

Other meme tokens like dogwifhat (WIF), Bonk, Book of Meme (BOME), and Dog Go to The Moon (DOG) have also done well this year. WIF’s market cap has soared to over $3.3 billion while Bonk, BOME, and DOG are valued at over $2 billion. 

Altogether, all meme coins tracked by CoinMarketCap have a market cap of over $63 billion. This makes them bigger than many well-known companies like FedEx, Spotify, Workday, and Monster Beverage among others.

There are several reasons why meme coins have done well this year. First, their performance was driven by key news in the crypto industry. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved Bitcoin ETFs in January. Since then, these ETFs hold over $60 billion worth of assets, helped by strong institutional demand.

Second, the agency has recently approved Ethereum ETFs and analysts expect that they will attract billions of dollars in assets when they start trading. This approval means that the SEC could approve other ETFs like Solana, Cardano, and Ripple. 

Third, they rose because of April’s Bitcoin halving, which reduces the number of Bitcoin rewards offered to miners. In most cases, Bitcoin tends to rally ahead and after halving.

Finally, there is hope that the Federal Reserve will start cutting interest rates later this year if inflation continues dropping. Cryptocurrencies and other risk assets do well when the Fed turns dovish. 

Meme coins do better than other cryptocurrencies because of their lower notional value, increased whale activity, and their potential for huge gains.

Piggy Bankster could be the next big thing

Analysts believe that more meme coins will be launched in the coming months as developers seek to benefit from this demand. 

One of the most anticipated meme coins will be Piggy Bankster, whose presale will start on June 4th of this year. 

$PIG will be launched on the Solana network, which has become popular among developers because of its top speeds and low transaction costs. Some of the top Solana meme tokens are Bonk, Book of Meme, and Cat in a Dogs World. 

Piggy Bankster also aims to disrupt the world of animal-themed tokens. This is an industry that started with dogs (Shiba Inu and Dogecoin), cats (Popcat), frogs (Pepe), and chickens (Coq Inu). 

History shows that most animal-themed token pioneers tend to do well as they attract traders’ attention. Therefore, there is a likelihood that the Piggy Bankster token will do well in its token sale and when it starts trading.

Piggy Bankster will have a total supply of 100 million and an initial liquidity of 12,000. The starting price of its presale will be $0.00012. You can learn more about the token on the Piggy Bankster website and follow the updates on X.
