Dogwifhat (WIF) Becomes Third-Largest Memecoin
Dogwifhat (WIF) has emerged as the third-largest memecoin by market capitalization, replacing PEPE in that position. WIF’s price hit an all-time high of $4.64 on March 30 before settling at $4.32 later in the day, according to CoinMarketCap data.
This surge in WIF’s value represents an 87% rally in one week, propelling its market cap to $4.3 billion and surpassing the $3.4 billion market cap of the Pepe (PEPE) token. Notably, this places WIF as the 31st largest cryptocurrency by market cap, underlining its rapid ascent within the crypto market.
What sets Dogwifhat apart is its steadfast holding pattern among whales, with the largest holder owning unrealized profits exceeding $127 million. Despite the possibility of these massive gains, this major holder has yet to sell, indicating their strong confidence in WIF’s long-term potential.
Can WIF’s Price Reach The $10 Milestone?
The recent surge in WIF’s price followed a crowdfunding initiative where fans raised over $700K to advertise the token’s logo on the Las Vegas sphere. This strategic move resulted in a 25% price surge immediately after the advertisement, demonstrating the power of community-driven initiatives in boosting meme tokens’ values.
Accordingly, Arthur Hayes, former CEO of BitMEX and current chief investment officer at Maelstrom, predicts a rally to $10 for Dogwifhat shortly before it breached the $3 milestone. Hayes’ bullish outlook reflects the growing optimism surrounding WIF’s strong fundamentals and increasing adoption.
Dogwifhat’s meteoric rise parallels Dogecoin’s (DOGE) historic surge in 2021, where it reached a market capitalization of $75.2 billion. However, WIF’s price would need to soar to $30.8 per token, an eightfold increase from its current value, to match DOGE’s market cap.
In the volatile world of memecoins, such price fluctuations are not uncommon. For instance, DOGE itself experienced an 892% surge in the month leading up to its all-time high in 2021. As investors and enthusiasts continue to monitor Dogwifhat’s performance closely, the question remains: can WIF’s price reach the coveted $10 milestone?
