WIF price hits all-time high, defying crypto market decline and Bitcoin price crash

  • WIF price reached a new all-time high of $2.2498 on Wednesday. 
  • The Solana-ecosystem meme coin saw a massive price surge after its listing on Binance.
  • WIF price increase beats the broader crypto market correction, led by  Bitcoin’s recent pullback after reaching a new all-time high above $69,000. 

The Solana ecosystem-based meme coin Dogwifhat (WIF) hit a new all-time high on Wednesday after Binance said it would list the token in the exchange, defying the general sell-off in cryptocurrency assets following Bitcoin’s correction.

WIF price sees Binance listing effect

The market capitalization of the Solana-based meme coin WIF exceeded $2.13 billion on Wednesday after the meme coin’s price hit a new all-time high of $2.189 on Binance. WIF price rally is likely catalyzed by Bitcoin’s run to its $69,000 peak and Binance’s listing of the meme coin. 

In a blog post, Binance informed traders that WIF would be listed on the exchange on Tuesday. Typically, when Binance announces a token’s listing, its price rallies in response to the announcement, a phenomenon called “the listing effect.”

WIF’s 24-hour trade volume is close to $1 billion on Wednesday, according to CoinGecko data.

Crypto expert and influencer Lark Davis said in a tweet on X that the top-performing crypto niche is currently meme coins. As meme coins see a resurgence in their prices, WIF is likely to lead the Solana-based meme coins towards gains in the ongoing cycle.
