Pepe Leads Memecoin Rebound WIth 11% Rally, But Dogecoin, Shiba Inu Not That Far Behind

Memecoins bounced back with a spirited rally Tuesday following Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: BTC) upward advances.

What happened: Frog-themed Pepe surged over 11% to become the most successful large-cap memecoin over the last 24 hours. The Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH)-based coin was also the second-most traded meme coin in the 24-hour period.

Pepe was followed by Solana (CRYPTO: SOL)-based Bonk, which spiked over 8%, and Floki, which returned 7.39% to its holders in the last 24 hours.

Blue-chip meme coins such as Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) also pleased their investors, surging 5.73% and 4.86%, respectively.

Furthermore, President Donald Trump's Official Trump (CRYPTO: TRUMP) token rose 1.72% and was the only major meme coin to have recorded net gains year-to-date.

The total meme coin market capitalization reached $45.81 billion, following a 5.71% jump in the last 24 hours. However, over the last 30 days, the valuation has shrunk 32%.

The rise was spurred by Bitcoin’s recovery to $83,000 Tuesday, a day after it fell below $76,000, after a bill aimed at funding the newly established Strategic Bitcoin Reserve was introduced in the House.
