In the ever-evolving and highly volatile crypto trading landscape, meme coins and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms continue to pique the interest of investors. Three particular tokens, namely Baby Pengu, Shoggoth, and Strips Finance, have been making significant waves as of Sunday.
Baby Pengu, operating on the Base blockchain, has witnessed a remarkable price surge of over 331%. This meteoric rise can be attributed, in part, to its endearing baby penguin branding. With a total supply capped at 1 billion and around 186 million tokens currently in circulation, it has amassed a market capitalization of approximately $54 million. The majority of its trading activity takes place on decentralized exchanges, with Uniswap V2 (Base) being a prominent platform for BABYPENGU transactions.
Shoggoth, a meme token on the Solana blockchain, has also captured the spotlight with a growth rate exceeding 126%. Named after the fictional entity from H.P. Lovecraft’s tales, it was initially launched on the Pumpfun platform and has a circulating supply of 1 billion tokens. It trades actively on decentralized exchanges like Raydium and boasted a daily trading volume of around $6,340 as of Dec. 22. Despite its niche and somewhat satirical nature, it has managed to engage the imagination of crypto traders.
Meanwhile, Strips Finance is carving a unique position in the DeFi space. Operating on the Arbitrum and Binance Smart Chain (BSC) networks, it offers a decentralized platform for users to hedge and speculate on interest rate derivatives. Its native token, STRP, has seen an increase of over 81% and is currently trading at around $1.03. With a market capitalization just below $33 million and a circulating supply of 30 million tokens, it can be traded on exchanges such as Sushiswap and Gate.io, with the STRP/USDC.E pair being the most active. These tokens, each with their own distinct features and market performances, are contributing to the ongoing dynamism and intrigue within the crypto market.
