Lately, memecoins like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) have been making waves. DOGE’s price recently jumped by 25%, its highest since 2021, while SHIB climbed 11%. These coins, often inspired by internet memes, are benefiting from the renewed optimism in the crypto market.

Why the Hype?

These gains are happening as Bitcoin hits new highs, often lifting the entire crypto market. But memecoins have their own special draw—they’re fun, community-driven, and sometimes bring massive returns. Platforms like Cointelegraph explain that investor excitement around newer projects like Flockerz shows how creative ideas can drive interest and funding.
