Solana-based meme coins Bonk (BONK), Myro (MYRO), Boden (BODEN) and GME rallied in the past 24 hours. The meme tokens have posted gains as traders shift focus from large market capitalization memes like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) to assets in the Solana ecosystem.
A recent report from Coinmetrics shows that Solana-based meme coins have observed higher trading activity and volume in 2024 compared to DOGE and SHIB.
Solana-based meme coins BONK, MYRO, BODEN and GME extend gains
Data from CoinGecko shows that large market capitalization meme coins Dogecoin and Shiba Inu extended their losses in the past 24 hours. At the same time, while most Solana-based meme coins are hit by a correction, BONK, MYRO, BODEN and GME are rallying.
BONK, MYRO, BODEN and GME posted 9%, 6%, 15% and 17% gains in the past 24 hours, respectively. These Solana-based assets are likely leading the category toward a recovery from the recent correction.
A recent report from Coinmetrics notes that when viewed through the lens of relative trading volumes, older meme coins like DOGE and SHIB’s influence seem to be waning. PEPE and a suite of new Solana-based meme coins now collectively represent over 50% of trading volume.
Coinmetrics has identified investor preference towards newer meme coins, as communities and blockchain systems are geared towards higher returns.
