With Bitcoin up above $68,000, meme coins like Woman Yelling At Cat, Settled EthXY Token and Phili Inu spiked double digits.
According to CoinMarketCap, the global crypto market has slowly recovered from last week’s slump. The crypto market cap has jumped to $2.34 trillion from last weekend’s $2.17 trillion.
Bitcoin (BTC) is hovering above $68,000, and Ethereum (ETH) is trading around the $2,600 level. But in the last few hours, the market seems to be cooling down, with signs of a potential reversal.
Despite this uncertainty, these three meme coins are up by double digits.
Woman Yelling At Cat pumps 80%
The latest data from CoinGecko shows an interesting price trajectory for a Taylor Armstrong-inspired meme coin.
Woman Yelling At Cat (WYAC), which gets its name from a meme that spoofs an episode of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” surged from a 24-hour low of $0.02504 to a high of $0.05288.
The exact reason for the price surge is unclear. And yet, WYAC’s popularity is growing on social media, including X.
See the chart below.
However, the surge seems to have cooled down now. The WYAC coin now has a market cap of $45.5 million. Interestingly, the meme coin touched an all-time high on Oct. 17.
This recent surge has earned the meme coin its position as the largest gainer on CoinGecko’s list. On-chain data portal Alphanomics also shared that WYAC is one of the top five biggest price gainers in the last 30 days, with a 6200% surge.

SEXY and PHIL soar
After perusing the list of CoinGecko’s top gainers on Saturday, it’s clear Settled EthXY Token (SEXY) and Phili Inu (PHIL) are up by double digits.
SEXY is up by almost 80% from its 24-hour low of $0.2408. The meme coin has also retraced after pumping as high as $0.5241.
SEXY first launched in August 2023 on the Ethereum blockchain.
Third on the gainers list is PHIL with a 54% pump. The meme coin — featured on the 46th edition of the SHIB Magazine — is also up by over 130% in the last 30 days, with its price now hovering around the $0.04 level.
The rise in these not-so-popular meme coins comes as Popcat’s (POPCAT) relaxed price movement. The cat-themed Solana (SOL) meme coin is down by over 3% in the last 24 hours and 15% in the last seven days.
However, POPCAT has shown similar pullbacks following major pumps in the past. But the current trajectory of the meme coin remains unclear.
