In the dynamic landscape of cryptocurrency, notable transactions by influential market players, commonly known as whales, can herald significant trends and market movements. Recently, the Memecoin (MEME) token, associated with the burgeoning Web3 project Memeland, has seen considerable activity that harkens back to similar market patterns observed with Pepe Coin earlier this year.
A conspicuous influx of MEME tokens to certain addresses has sparked conversations among crypto analysts and enthusiasts. Lookonchain, a Web3 analytics platform, reported that memeland.eth, a prominent address within the space, received a staggering 77 million MEME tokens from airdrops, valued at approximately $1.39 million.
Additionally, this address was the beneficiary of another transaction, acquiring 138 million MEME tokens, or around $2.49 million, through FireSales. These transactions resemble the substantial acquisitions by whales that preceded the price surge of Pepe Coin. For instance, a whale’s address, beginning with 0x373, spent a whopping 817 ETH (about $1.39 million USD) to buy an immense 1.29 trillion PEPE tokens over the past 3 days.

The Memecoin has been discussed due to its anticipated introduction on various cryptocurrency exchanges. Despite the recent activities, the MEME community still awaits a positive response from the market. Currently, Memecoin’s price stands at $0.01831818, with a market capitalization of $135,701,340 and a 24-hour trading volume of $93,145,437.86, despite experiencing a slight dip of 1.20% on the last day.
In a separate noteworthy transaction, the address degensfund.eth received 57.93 million MEME tokens through airdrops, amounting to $1.04 million, from the same wallet address linked with memeland.eth’s airdrop. This address also secured 27.14 million MEME tokens, roughly valued at $489K, from FireSales.
These substantial transactions suggest a growing interest in Memecoin, potentially foretelling a bullish future similar to that experienced by Pepe Coin. Last month’s FireSale event, reported on Binance Launchpool, generated a favorable buzz around the MEME token. However, despite these promising developments, the price of Memecoin has been languishing.
Market participants are closely monitoring these whale movements and the impact they may have on Memecoin’s valuation. As Memeland continues to support the MEME community and foster engagement, investors and traders alike remain optimistic, hoping for a reversal of the token’s fortunes and a rally reminiscent of its meme-themed predecessors.
