While giants like Bitcoin and Ethereum rule the cryptocurrency space, a new range of digital assets is creating excitement: meme coins. These coins often lack real-world use cases and are driven by social media hype and community support.
PEPE, Shiba Inu, and Bonk initially dominated the meme coin market. However, recently, a meme coin, BEFE, emerged as the winner, leaving behind major meme coins like Bonk and PEPE. Let’s learn more about BEFE and understand if it’s there to stay.
Launched on the Ethereum blockchain, PEPE is a deflationary meme coin that gained popularity, particularly between April and May of 2023. PEPE garnered attention from the crypto community because of its no-tax policy. Also, right from the beginning, PEPE was clear that it had no utility and was limited to a meme coin.
While there was a lot of hype in the initial days, PEPE has started to lose its shine, as expected. According to CoinMarketCap, PEPE’s community has been getting smaller, with fewer messages being recorded than usual. Primary reasons behind PEPE’s downfall include a lack of vision, roadmap, and real-life use cases. Presently trading at around $0.000007576, PEPE’s market value stands at $3.17 billion (as of 23rd March 2024).
Inspired by a dog-themed meme, Bonk is a meme coin similar to Shiba Inu powered by Solana. Instead of being just a meme coin, Bonk has a vision and is building new products, such as a new NFT collection, token swap, and a trading bot. But this does not seem to help Bonk!
Bonk witnessed a huge rise initially, primarily because of its connection to Solana. Unfortunately, Bonk has taken a huge hit in the past few weeks. The reason behind Bonk’s dip seems to be the market correction and the growing concerns with Solana. Bonk is trading at $0.00002295 as of 23rd March 2024.
Similar to the above-mentioned meme coins (Bonk and PEPE), BEFE also saw a sharp rise only a short period after its launch. BEFE has been successful in creating hype on social media and has a massive community of over 250,000 members, resulting in a value jump of over 1,400%. But similar to Bonk and PEPE, is the BEFE coin expected to fall soon? Well, it’s highly unlikely from the news that is emerging around the BEFE coin.
For instance, the creators of the BEFE coin aim to develop a decentralized exchange and an NFT marketplace based on their roadmap. While it’s not clear if they’ll stand true to their word, the fact that a meme coin is moving forward with a vision and roadmap in mind is itself pretty impressive.
