Major Crypto Tokens Drive Market Higher

Despite the pullback, the broader cryptocurrency market gained 1% in the last 24 hours at $3.2 trillion. Ethereum is the dominant network for flagship tokens like Pepe (PEPE).

Meme Coins Regain Momentum

‘The Boy’s Club’ category tracks meme tokens linked to Matt Furie’s Boys Club and Pepe comic universe, including Pepe, Brett, Andy, Landwolf, and related derivatives that come from the same cultural lineage.

Within the category, Pepe’s price rose 7.4% over the past day. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around the meme token trended in ‘extremely bullish’ territory over the past day, accompanied by ‘extremely high’ levels of chatter.

Despite higher gains than PEPE, retail sentiment on Stocktwits around BRETT trended in ‘neutral’ territory over the past day. Retail sentiment around ANDY flipped from ‘bearish’ to the ‘bullish’ zone.

Dogecoin Lags Behind

While meme coins surged, performance among major tokens was more mixed. Dogecoin (DOGE), the largest meme coin by market capitalization, edged 0.8% lower over the past 24 hours, lagging both smaller meme tokens and the broader market. Despite the price action, retail sentiment around DOGE on Stocktwits trended in ‘extremely bullish’ territory over the past day amid ‘extremely high’ levels of chatter.
