Meme coin mania erupted again as new Solana star Smog (<\/span>SMOG<\/span><\/a>) led the charge and Dogwifhat (WIF) and Pepe (PEPE) soared to new all-time highs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Smog price soared 33% as the top gainer among major meme coins by market capitalization, while WIF surged 32% and PEPE 13% to their new record highs.<\/p>\n

SpaceX and Tesla owner Elon Musk added to the hype around the sector by saying that eventually it should be possible to buy Tesla cars with Dogecoin (DOGE).<\/p>\n

“When can you buy Tesla with Dogecoin? At some point, I think we should enable that,” said Musk in response to a question, according to a video on X posted b<\/span>y @dogeofficialceo. “You can buy Tesla merch with Doge, which is cool. So, Dogecoin to the moon.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dogecoin price surged almost 9% as the meme coin sector’s market capitalization climbed 6% to $65.6 billion on trading volume that soared more than 41%.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meme Coin Mania: WIF And PEPE Coin Set New ATHs<\/span><\/h2>\n

WIF also overtook FLOKI to become the fourth-biggest meme coin by market cap, behind Shiba Inu (SHIB), <\/span>PEPE<\/span><\/a>, and DOGE. WIF’s market cap soared to more than $3.1 billion, while FLOKI’s stands just above $2.8 billion, according to <\/span>CoinMarketCap<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Likely powered by its recent listing on Binance, WIF hit a new all-time high (ATH) of $3.26 earlier in today’s trading, before it pared gains to trade at $3.11. Frog-themed PEPE<\/a> coin also blasted to a new high of $0.00001074 at about 5.45 a.m. EST <\/span><\/p>\n

Smaller meme coins such as <\/span>SPONGE<\/span><\/a>, which recently launched its V2 token on Polygon, also did well with a price surge of more than 12%.<\/span><\/p>\n
