Top Crypto Gainers Today on DEXScreener – SOLBET, KITTY, AMC
With major cryptocurrencies seeing tentative gains at the start of the week, with Bitcoin (BTC) rising 2.5% to $63,000 as Ether (ETH) struggled but failed to rise above $3,000, the top crypto gainers today were all to be found in the on-chain token markets.
Major cryptos remain locked within recent trading ranges ahead of a barrage of US data later in the week.
But trading activity in the meme coin space was set alight by the sudden, unexpected return of Roaring Kitty.
Legendary GameStop retail investor Roaring Kitty was a leading figure in the 2021 meme stock movement.
His return sparked calls for the return of meme season in crypto and stock markets.
Unsurprisingly, meme coins like Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Pepe (PEPE) and dogwifhat (WIF) were outperformers.
But the top crypto gainers today were all new/recently launched smaller meme coins with 2021 meme stock craze connections.
Here are some of the biggest movers, as per decentralized exchange (DEX) analytics tool DEXScreener.
