This trend is perplexing Wall Street because it’s occurring amidst rising interest rates, job cuts, and the resumption of student loan interest payments.

Investors such as Adam Wren, a defense industry risk analyst, are wagering on these tokens despite the risk. Wren invested $2,250 in two billion Pepe tokens, betting that the Pepe meme’s association with Donald Trump would boost its popularity. His investment is now valued at nearly $20,000.

Crypto Rally Triggers Memecoin Frenzy

In particular, the value of a Dogwifhat token reached around $3.13 on Thursday, marking an astonishing increase of over 200,000% since its introduction in December. Similarly, Bonk’s value has risen almost 40,000% in just over a year.

Nevertheless, the approval of US ETFs investing directly in Bitcoin has triggered an $800 billion crypto rally over the past month. This has led to the notion that a memecoin frenzy often follows a Bitcoin rally.
