Cat-themed cryptocurrencies Popcat (CRYPTO: POPCAT) and cat in a dogs world (CRYPTO: MEW) have emerged as top gainers in the overall crypto market.
What Happened: According to Coingecko, cat coins are nearing a $5 billion market cap, with a 7.7% gain in the last 24 hours. Popcat flipped Bonk (CRYPTO: BONK) to become the second-largest meme coin on the Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) network, trailing only Dogwifhat (CRYPTO: WIF).
Mew reached a significant milestone, crossing the $1 billion valuation—an impressive feat for a Solana-based meme coin.
Meme coin favorites like Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) have lagged, unable to match the recent gains of these cat coins.
