This week, DogWifHat ($WIF) stands out as the best performer among the top five doge-themed meme coins, boasting an impressive 18% increase compared to last Friday.
Currently, this token, with a market capitalization of $1.8 billion, ranks as the fourth largest meme coin globally. In the past 24 hours, it gained an additional 3.4%, bringing its price to approximately $1.80.
Comparison with Dogecoin
In contrast, Dogecoin ($DOGE), the leading meme coin with a market cap of $15.4 billion, saw only a minor price increase of 0.3% over the same period, both daily and weekly.
DogWifHat ($WIF) Price Analysis
The cryptocurrency market has been on an upward trend since Tuesday, following the Federal Reserve’s decision to lower interest rates by 50 basis points (0.5%). This marked the end of a two-year period characterized by eleven consecutive rate hikes, raising US interest rates to their highest levels in two decades.
The reduced borrowing costs are likely to encourage investors to adopt riskier positions, including cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin’s Rally
This news contributed to a 9.3% rise in Bitcoin ($BTC), which now trades at $63,420. Meanwhile, Solana, the blockchain underpinning DogWifHat, has experienced a 13% increase over the week, with $SOL priced at $149.
On DogWifHat’s price chart, the token has been trading relatively cautiously since the market crash on August 5, which led investors to sell off riskier assets. Since that event, $WIF has fluctuated between $1.40 and $1.95. However, the declining relative strength index (RSI) of 50 suggests ongoing selling pressure.
As the weekend approaches, it appears that DogWifHat’s rally may slow, stabilizing until Monday.
The Impact of Federal Reserve Policies
With the Federal Reserve reducing interest rates, many investors are expected to gravitate toward riskier assets for potentially higher returns.
For those hesitant to invest in meme coins, presale opportunities provide a chance to enter new crypto projects at their inception, which could be more lucrative than established tokens like DogWifHat or Dogecoin.
The meme coin sector, valued at $45.7 billion and growing by 4.6% in the last 24 hours, shows considerable promise.
The Rise of Memebet
Originally created as a parody, meme coins are evolving to offer real value and utility. A notable new project, Memebet, has introduced an online casino that allows players to use meme coins.
The presale for Memebet’s native $MEMEBET token launched this week, attracting over $200,000 in investments within just two days. With the online gambling industry projected to grow from $100 billion in 2024 to $130 billion in five years, the Federal Reserve’s actions are unlikely to hinder the success of platforms like Memebet.
$MEMEBET tokens provide various benefits, including airdrop rewards, special bonuses for VIP players, and access to Memebet Casino Lootboxes, which feature real-world prizes and bonuses.
Additionally, the project recently announced a 400 million $MEMEBET airdrop. To participate, users simply need to acquire tokens, await the casino’s launch (before the presale concludes), and start gaming to unlock rewards.
