$PEPE and $FLOKI
A โmeme coinโ is a type of cryptocurrency that is created as a joke or parody based on popular internet memes or trends. Their value mostly depends on their popularity and hype on social media rather than any significant technology or utility.
Pepe is a coin that took inspiration from the popular โPepe the Frogโ internet meme, originally created by artist Matt Furie. It currently has 420 trillion coins in circulation.
Floki is a multi-chain token created in August 2021 as a tribute to Elon Musk’s dog. It has been one of the top crypto gainers in the market for the past two weeks.
In a recently released report from CoinGecko, Pepe and Floki were among the top memecoins Filipinos are interested in. Moreover, as per the data, the Philippines is ranked fourth globally in terms of interest in meme coins, with 5.39% of Filipinos surveyed interested in investing in and holding meme coins.
These tokens are still yet to be added to several international cryptocurrency exchanges.
Coins CEO on Fast Listing
Last March, BitPinas reported the addition to Coins.ph of Sky Mavis’ Axie Infinity’s RON token to its platform, ahead of major international exchanges.
Coins CEO Wei Zhou commented on LinkedIn that the firm โwill only go faster from here.โ
Apart from Ron, the platform previously added more coins in the same month. Coins.ph just listed Tron token (TRX) and TRC-20 USDT, then Lido (LDO) and Rocket Pool (RPL).
