š° GameStop (GME) Frenzy Spreads Into Crypto Meme Coins, Caution Ahead?š°
ā”ļø FOMO buying into the GameStop ($GME) meme coin costed three investors thousands of dollars. Analysts advise caution from falling into meme coin trends. The recent frenzy in GameStop (GME) has spread across the cryptocurrency market, especially in the meme coin sector. As the US CPI numbers came in line with the market expectations, a strong rally ensured across all meme coins, especially the top players such as PEPE. Strong Meme Coin Party Amid GameStop Frenzy
In Q2, the memecoin sector has outpaced all others in the crypto market, reported on-chain data provider Santiment. Assets such as $PEPE (+100%), $PONKE (+96%), $MAGA (+80%), $TURBO (+78%), etc. have experienced significant surges. Over the past week alone, meme coins have seen a staggering 136% increase in trading volume. Within the meme coin sector, the PEPE Coin has been one of the most outperforming altcoins while hitting a new all-time high earlier this week. Whatās more interesting is that the GameStop (GME) meme coin, based on the Solana blockchain, witnessed a 4,000% rally in the last two days. Note that this meme coin has nothing to do with the GameStop company whose stock has registered a 200% gain in the last three trading sessions. Thus, investors need to be more careful while trading the $GME meme coin. In the last 24 hours, the $GME meme coin price has dropped by nearly 50%. Red Flags for Investors
On-chain data provider Santiment reported that the frenzy surrounding Gamestop and AMC has significantly influenced the crypto sphere, largely due to shared speculative tendencies. These two companies are currently dominating discussions across cryptocurrency platforms. These spikes often precede shifts in market direction, offering opportunities for astute traders to capitalize on.
However, bets made on FOMO could cost dearly to investors. On-chain data provider Lookonchain cited three such traders who lost thousands of dollars by trading in FOMO. Other market analysts are not not quite positive on meme coins.
