Optimism is back in the cryptocurrency market for many, boosted by the approval of Bitcoin ETFs and a recent surge in meme coin activity.
Benzinga polled its social media audience to identify the most popular meme coins in the current market.
What Happened: Investors in the cryptocurrency market are constantly looking for both emerging and established meme coins with the potential for significant value increases.
The increased interest in Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) has led to the creation of several meme coins, including GME Coin (CRYPTO: GME).
Pepe Coin (CRYPTO: PEPE) was launched in mid-2023 and one of the most talked about meme coins of last year.
Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) has been around for years and saw 2021 go down as one of the most insane years for a cryptocurrency, with DOGE mentions by the world's richest people, public companies using Dogecoin for marketing and companies and sports teams accepting the cryptocurrency as a payment option.
Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) is a newer meme coin and often considered a rival to Dogecoin.
Benzinga recently asked social media followers on X, formerly known as Twitter, which meme coin people were most bullish on right now.
Here were the results:
Dogecoin: 2.8%
Shiba Inu: 40.0%
Pepe Coin: 2.8%
GME Coin: 54.4%
The newest meme coin listed, GME Coin, won the poll with a majority of the votes. Coming in second place was Shiba Inu with a strong 40% showing. Dogecoin and Pepe coin each got 2.8% of the vote, suggesting they aren't as popular with retail traders on social media as they once were.
It should also be noted that Benzinga received many replies to its poll suggesting that $PORK is the top meme coin right now.
Why It's Important: GME Coin is the newest meme coin in the poll and launched in late January 2024. The coin, which is modeled after video game retailer GameStop Corporation (NYSE:GME), is not affiliated with the company.
Increased interest in GameStop, the retailer, thanks to the release of "Dumb Money" on Netflix could have helped boost interest in GME Coin. The narrative of retail traders challenging hedge funds and short sellers has united crypto traders in support of GME Coin, reminiscent of past market showdowns.
Benzinga previously polled its Twitter audience to determine which cryptocurrency—Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum, or Solana—was expected to yield the highest returns in 2023.
The results of the January 2023 poll were:
Dogecoin: 26.7%
Bitcoin: 38.5%
Ethereum: 28.7%
Solana: 6.2%
All four cryptocurrencies were up in 2023, but it was Solana which came in last in the poll that led the way with returns of over 900%. Bitcoin ranked second with returns of +155%. Ethereum and Dogecoin gained around 90% and 30% respectively in 2023.
Only time will tell whether the outcomes of the meme coin poll accurately forecast a promising future for GME Coin.
在比特幣ETF的批准和最近模因幣活動的激增的推動下，許多人又回到了加密貨幣市場的樂觀情緒。
Benzinga對其社交媒體受衆進行了民意調查，以確定當前市場上最受歡迎的模因幣。
發生了什麼：加密貨幣市場的投資者一直在尋找具有顯著價值增長潛力的新興和成熟模因幣。
人們對索拉納（加密貨幣：SOL）的興趣與日俱增，導致了包括GME硬幣（加密貨幣：GME）在內的幾種模因幣的誕生。
佩佩幣（加密貨幣：PEPE）於2023年年中推出，是去年最受關注的模因幣之一。
狗狗幣（加密貨幣：DOGE）已經存在了多年，2021年是加密貨幣最瘋狂的年份之一，世界上最富有的人提到了狗狗幣，上市公司使用狗狗幣進行營銷，公司和運動隊接受加密貨幣作爲支付選項。
柴犬（加密貨幣：SHIB）是一種較新的模因幣，通常被認爲是狗狗幣的競爭對手。
Benzinga最近在X（前身爲Twitter）上詢問了社交媒體關注者，人們目前最看好哪種模因幣。
以下是結果：
狗狗幣：2.8%
Shiba Inu：40.0%
Pepe Coin：2.8%
GME 硬幣：54.4%
上市的最新模因硬幣GME Coin以多數票贏得了投票。排在第二位的是柴犬，表現強勁 40%。狗狗幣和佩佩幣各獲得2.8％的選票，這表明它們在社交媒體上不像以前那樣受到零售交易者的歡迎。
還應該注意的是，Benzinga的民意調查收到了許多回復，表明$PORK是目前最受歡迎的模因硬幣。
爲何重要：GME硬幣是民意調查中最新的模因幣，於2024年1月下旬推出。該硬幣以電子遊戲零售商GameStop公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：GME）爲藍本，與該公司無關。
由於Netflix發行了《Dumb Money》，人們對零售商GameStop的興趣有所增加，這可能有助於激發人們對GME Coin的興趣。散戶交易員挑戰對沖基金和賣空者的敘述使加密交易者團結起來，支持GME Coin，這讓人想起過去的市場攤牌。
Benzinga此前曾對其推特受衆進行了調查，以確定哪種加密貨幣——比特幣、狗狗幣、以太坊或索拉納——有望在2023年產生最高的回報。
2023 年 1 月的民意調查結果是：
狗狗幣：26.7%
比特幣：38.5%
以太坊：28.7%
索拉納：6.2%
所有四種加密貨幣在2023年均上漲，但在民意調查中排在最後的是Solana，其回報率超過900％。比特幣排名第二，回報率爲+155％。以太坊和狗狗幣在2023年分別上漲了約90％和30％。
只有時間才能證明模因硬幣民意調查的結果是否準確地預測了GME Coin的光明未來。
