Dogwifhat, built on the Solana ecosystem, has become a market leader, ranking No. 43 among top cryptocurrencies.
The dog-themed meme coin gained significant traction over the past week, enjoying a price increase of 52%.
Dogwifhat (WIF), launched in late 2023, is currently priced at around $2.58 with a market cap of approximately $2.5 billion.
Its all-time high was $4.83 in March.
On Friday, crypto.news featured WIF in its Chart of the Week, noting how it surpassed the macro 50% retracement level at $2.46. Whether it will sustain this level remains to be seen, but indicators show that it will.
A convincing close above the historical resistance of $2.4 could pave the way for further upside.
The coin owes its success to the Solana (SOL) community, which has effectively used social media and public relations to boost visibility. As new projects launch regularly, the meme coin craze shows no signs of slowing down.
Solana shows resilience
Solana, a high-speed layer-1 blockchain launched in 2017, has quickly become a significant player in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Despite challenges, including the fallout from the FTX collapse, Solana has shown remarkable resilience.
The blockchain’s success is largely due to its innovative technologies, which enable fast transaction speeds, low fees, and high scalability.
Solana can process up to 65,000 transactions per second, with an average transaction cost of just $0.00025. This efficiency has attracted a variety of decentralized applications in sectors such as decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, and non-fungible tokens, or NFTs.
Solana’s DeFi landscape is thriving, with numerous protocols for lending, borrowing, liquidity pools, and yield farming. Notable platforms and decentralized exchanges like Jupiter, Raydium, and Orca are contributing to the ecosystem’s growth.
Solana has also become a leading network for stablecoin transfers, particularly in cross-border payments. In March, Solana processed approximately $1.4 trillion in stablecoin transfers, capturing a 43% market share.
