Is The Cat Season Here? MEW Hits $1 Billion Market Cap After New ATH

Cat in a dogs world (MEW) has taken the market by storm after becoming the second cat-themed memecoin to hit a $1 billion market capitalization. The token joined POPCAT’s rally and reached a new all-time high (ATH) on Thursday, leading the whole feline sector.

Cat in a dogs world registered a significant 18.4% surge in the last 24 hours, propelling to a new ATH twice this morning. The cryptocurrency recorded its fifth ATH in the past two weeks, increasing over 95.2% and taking the memecoin sector by storm.

After its surge to $0.01127, the cryptocurrency hit the long-awaited $1 billion mark, becoming the second cat-themed token to achieve this feat. As a result, MEW flipped Base Network’s token Brett as the tenth largest memecoin by this metric.

MEW initially joined the memecoin’s top ten list back in Q2, ranking 8th among the dog-themed pack. It significantly retraced as POPCAT’s popularity grew, registering a 60% correction after leading the cat-themed sector during Q1.

Nonetheless, the cryptocurrency has been on an uptrend for the past month after hovering between the $0.004-$0.006 price range during most of Q3. MEW’s rally this week seems to be fueled by the token’s listing on the Korean crypto exchange Upbit.

Market watcher Crypto General noted the memecoin’s recent performance, revealing its next target for MEW. The analyst highlighted that the cryptocurrency has been “in a consistent uptrend from its launch, showing great strength and potential.”

Crypto General expects parabolic surges in the coming days, suggesting that the cryptocurrency will target the $0.045 range for its price discovery period. As of this writing, MEW traders at $0.0112, 1.1% below its ATH.

Many crypto analysts have previously suggested that a cat-themed memecoin season was coming. Solana’s feline leader, POPCAT, recorded a new ATH on Thursday after hitting the $1.67 mark.

The memecoin has registered an 82% growth in the last thirty days, becoming the first cat-themed token to achieve the $1 Billion market cap milestone a month ago. Alongside MEW and POPCAT’s remarkable rally, other cat-inspired memecoins have seen a notable performance over the past week.

BNB Chain-based token Simon’s Cat (CAT) recorded a massive surge in the past week, nearing its all-time high price on Wednesday. CAT’s price skyrocketed 80.4% in the last three days following its Future Listing on the crypto exchange Binance.

The price jumped from the $0.0000245 level to the $0.0000442 mark, trading just 5% below its $0.0000462 ATH registered over a month ago. Despite being down 5.1% from yesterday’s surge, CAT still registers a 53% weekly increase.

Crypto Trader Bluntz stated that the “cat season is truly underway” as the whole sector soars over 8%, according to CoinGecko data.
