DOGE Leads 9% Meme Coin Surge
The meme coin sector surged 9% to hit a market capitalization of $73.5 billion as sector titan Dogecoin (DOGE) jumped 10%.
SPX6900 (SPX) was the top gainer among major meme coins with a 32% surge.
Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Pepe (PEPE) pumped 6% and 8%, respectively, while Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) surged 14%, Bonk (BONK) gained 8%, and OFFICIAL TRUMP (TRUMP) climbed 4%.
Crypto Investors Not Fazed By The US Government Shutdown
The gains were fueled by improving sentiment in the crypto market over the past 24 hours.
According to the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, a popular tool to gauge sentiment in the market, sentiment has shifted from “Neutral” to “Greed.”
The index currently stands at a score of 64, which is a 15-point jump from yesterday’s “Neutral” score of 49.
That improving sentiment comes despite uncertainty caused by the US government shutdown after the US Senate failed to pass funding measures.
The shutdown is expected to delay the release of key economic data this month, while the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is halting work on spot crypto ETFs applications.
Looks like a prolonged government shutdown would definitely impact the launch of new spot crypto ETFs…
ETF Cryptober might be on hold for a bit.
