Musk the Manipulator could turn early investors into multi-millionaires, like other memecoins, such as Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE), did. Musk the Manipulator (MUSKMANI), a Solana memecoin launched today, is set to explode over 14,000% in price in the coming days. This is because MUSKMANI is set to soon be listed on numerous crypto exchanges, according to reports. This will give the Solana memecoin exposure to millions of additional investors, who will pour funds into the coin and cause its price to rally, which will benefit investors who buy before these new exchange listings. Currently, Musk the Manipulator can only be purchased via Solana decentralized exchanges, like Jup.ag and Raydium.io, and early investors stand to make huge returns in the coming days. Early investors in SHIB and DOGE made astronomical returns, and Musk the Manipulator could become the next viral memecoin. Musk the Manipulator launched with over $8,000 of liquidity, giving it a unique advantage over the majority of other new memecoins, and early investors could make huge gains. How to Buy To buy Musk the Manipulator on Raydium.io or Jup.ag ahead of the CEX listings, users need to connect their Solflare, MetaMask or Phantom wallet, and swap Solana for Musk the Manipulator by entering its contract address – DZpfk5LaLrnP6vSFJnLSMAopUuTJGiFk7543rQxh4ids – in the receiving field. If you don’t have one of these wallets already, you can create a new wallet in a few minutes and transfer some Solana to it (which will then be used to buy the memecoin), from an exchange like Coinbase, Binance and many others. Early investors could make returns similar to those who invested in Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE) before these memecoins went viral and exploded in price. If this happens, a new wave of memecoin millionaires could be created in a matter of weeks – or potentially even sooner. The Solana memecoin craze continues amid larger memecoins, like Shiba Inu (SHIB), Dogecoin (DOGE) and DogWifHat (WIF) trading sideways in recent weeks and losing momentum. This is why many SHIB, DOGE and WIF investors are instead investing in new Solana memecoins, like MUSKMANI. Such memecoins have no utility and no inherent value, but investors looking for high gains have been investing in them due to their potential to rapidly rise in price.
As the year draws to a close, the crypto market experiences increased excitement with the emergence of the much-anticipated ‘Santa Rally’ phenomenon. This market behavior, characterized by price increases in
Bitcoin decided to stay afloat despite end-of-year correction
2024 is officially the year of degens. CoinGecko traffic analysis revealed that meme coins captured 31% of investor interest. This means every third user favored DOGE and PEPE over BTC. Solana, hosting tokens like BONK, WIF, POPCAT, and PNUT, still dominates the sector. Base is a runner-up with a $2.6B meme coin market cap. Other crypto trends this year include AI (who would’ve thought), real-world assets (RWA), gaming, and Layer-2 solutions. Cats Over Dogs, Memes Over NFTs The broader ‘meme coin’ narrative took a 14.36% share of CoinGecko’s user attention. Solana meme coins were the fourth most-hyped thing, grabbing 7.65% of the spotlight, while Base meme coins were way down the list with 2.13%. Shockingly, cats have overthrown dogs and frogs—talk about man’s best friend! While canine meme coins boast a $74B market cap, tokens like POPCAT, MOG, PURR, and MEW piqued degens’ curiosity this year. But not all investors go for speculative assets promising quick riches. The AI narrative was a close second, followed by RWA and the Solana ecosystem in general. Base, Sui, and TON networks have also caught the community’s eye, which is reflected in BASE, SUI, and TON token performance. Last year, the hottest topic was AI. The Solana ecosystem was also trending, unlike Base, Sui, and TON that came nowhere close to the top 20. NFTs fell out of fashion—the novelty of owning a pixelated monkey portrait with no utility quickly wore off. In fact, 96% of NFTs are now ‘dead.’ Zero trading and social media activity. We’re appealed and flabbergasted (not really). WEPE Leads a Revolution to Democratize Trading Titans like PEPE brought their holders massive gains this year. But heightened interest in meme coins is also evident from the performance of new projects. Namely, Pepe Unchained (PEPU), which recently netted $70M on presale, surged over 540% shortly after listing and became the single most-visited token on CoinMarketCap. Another project that’s quickly going mainstream is Wall Street Pepe (WEPE) . Currently selling at $0.0003655 on presale, it’s nearing the $36M milestone. Wall Street Pepe is on a crusade against insider trading. Its goal is simple—to democratize crypto investing and equip the small fish with knowledge necessary to go against whales and crush this bull run. Early adopters can stake their WEPE at a 36% APY to maximize potential returns. 27% of the total token supply is set aside for various frog army rewards, and another 38% for marketing because only this way can WEPE assemble its thirsty degen legion. The next price uptick will happen in mere hours, so there will be no better time to join WEPE’s mission. To buy WEPE, visit the presale website (be aware of scams and only use the official link!), connect your wallet, and pay with ETH, USDT, or bank card. Meme Coins Prove Their Worth CoinGecko report proves that meme coins are no longer overhyped, short-lived, and useless—at least not all of them. Projects like Wall Street Pepe focus on education and community building, which transcends the old narrative and makes it one of the best meme coins in 2024 . However, don’t take our word for it. DYOR, diversify, and don’t fall for FOMO. Because if we’ve learned anything from past market cycles, it’s that a cold mind is the most valuable asset.
The Bank of Korea revealed there were over 15.59 million domestic crypto asset investors by the end of November. This means more than 30% of South Korea’s population is investing in digital assets, particularly on the top 5 domestic exchanges Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and GOPAX. According to the Bank of Korea, domestic asset investors augmented by 610,000 in November, bringing the total to 15.59 million. South Korea’s crypto investors drive market value to $79 billion Although November saw the highest increase in crypto investors in the country, in the preceding months, the number of investors grew steadily by approximately 100,000 people per month. In July, there were about 14.74 million domestic asset investors before rising to 14.82 million in August, 14.88 million in September, and 14.98 million at the end of October. The stark increase in investors in November, however, coincides with the impressive rise in Bitcoin prices which surged from around 100 million KRW at the end of October to over 135 million KRW by late November. Not to mention, the influx of domestic investors and Bitcoin prices in November, boosted the total crypto holdings, to 102.6 trillion KRW (approximately $79 billion), compared to 58 trillion KRW in October. Moreover, deposits in exchanges not yet invested added up to 8.8 trillion Korean won at the end of November. The average daily trading volume of domestic virtual asset exchanges also surpassed combined trading volumes on South Korea’s Kospi and Kosdaq stock exchanges reaching 14.9 trillion won in November. In the preceding months, however, the average daily transaction volumes oscillated around 2 and 3 trillion KRW, with October recording only 3.4 trillion KRW. Rep. Lim Gwang-hyun of the Democratic Party of Korea, a member of the National Assembly Planning and Finance Committee, commented on the growing virtual asset market saying: “The virtual asset transaction volume is rapidly increasing to a level comparable to that of the stock market.” He added that the government needs to prepare on how to ensure sound market transactions to promote stability in the crypto space and safeguard the rights and interests of digital asset users.
