Dog-themed meme coins topped the price charts Tuesday, with the lesser-known ones outperforming the heavyweights. 

What happened: A gravity-defying rally saw Solana (CRYPTO: SOL)–based Bonk pump 30% in the last 24 hours, propelling it to the top of the daily gainer list.

The canine coin's trading volume surged over 230% in the last 24 hours to $2.40 billion.

With the latest uptick, Bonk's weekly gains swelled to 53% as the cryptocurrency swiftly approached its all-time highs set in late May.

Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH)-based Floki was the second-best performing meme coin on the day, rising over 7% in value, with buy/sell volume nearly doubling in the 24-hour period. 

The coin, named after Elon Musk’s Shiba Inu dog, was up over 40% since Donald Trump secured a victory in the presidential race.

The gains made by Bonk and Floki dwarfed those of blue-chip currencies Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB). 

SHIB, in contrast, was down nearly 7% in the 24-hour period, with its weekly gains narrowing to 27%.

The broader meme coin market capitalization rose from $102.11 billion to $104.11 billion, reflecting an increase of 2%.
