Reviving meme coin hype
Meme coins have been at the center of the latest bullish rally in the digital currency ecosystem today. With BONK starting the hype earlier in the year, PEPE swiftly took over the spotlight as more awareness of the potential of this asset class to chart massive, life-changing gains became a reality to many retail investors.
As it stands, the hype, which appears to be wanting, is now being revived by LADYS and, in the long term, we may see other meme coins recover their respective prices. Many in the industry are watching LADYS, and some are gearing up to go all in following its recent listing on MEXC Global marketplace.
