Despite a general downturn in meme coin markets, Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) experienced contrasting performances Thursday. The pair witnessed a notable 5% drop in 24 hours, while trading volume for these tokens surged by 44%, according to CoinMarketCap data. This trend defied the market’s overall bearish sentiment, with DOGE showing resilience, rising approximately 10.5% for the week. SHIB followed closely behind with a 9.44% gain over the same period. However, the rise of meme coin leaders was not uniform. Trump-themed token TRUMP surged to reclaim its $12 mark on Thursday and broke out with a 28.74% rally in 24 hours, fueled by renewed political hype. The meme token BRETT also displayed resilience, soaring 8.29% over the day, recording a significant 50% price increase in just the last week. These outliers, while noteworthy, resulted in a slight decline of $52 billion for the entire market cap of meme coins.
