Why It Matters: Baby Moon Floki, which launched earlier this month, is a hyper-deflationary token that has a smart exchange system built into the ecosystem.

The coin retweeted a post that it now has 4,400 currency holders.

Doraemon, an ERC-20 token on Ethereum’s blockchain that is based on the popular manga character Doraemon, also retweeted a post that it now has a market capitalization of $10 million and has reached over 2,000 holders.

Shiba Floki, a hyper-deflationary token that operates on Binance Smart Chain, calls itself “a descendant of meme father Dogecoin.”

Shiba Floki announced on Twitter it plans to soon launch Squid Floki non fungible tokens (NFTs) and that users can join “Squid Game” with the coin’s new NFT collection.
