The exchange’s announcement

What else is known? The asset has been added to the platform with a Seed Tag. It is assigned to new projects that may show increased volatility and therefore carry higher risks.

Dogwifhat launched on the Solana blockchain last November. The project uses a Shiba Inu dog as its mascot, as do several other highly capitalized meme tokens including DOGE, SHIB, FLOKI, and BONK.

The project is fully decentralized and community-driven. In January, Binance launched perpetual asset futures with up to 50x leverage. On February 27, an unknown holder of WIF earned $1,4 million due to the growth of its rate with an initial investment of $310.

The asset occupies the fifth line of the meme token ranking and 70th place in the overall cryptocurrency ranking with a capitalization of $1,7 billion. It has increased in value by 190% in a week and by 989% since the beginning of the year. It is also the second most capitalized such asset in the Solana ecosystem, second only to BONK.

The 7-day growth of some coins’ rates exceeded 100%

Earlier, Santiment analysts named WIF as one of the leaders in terms of yield growth as a result of the redistribution of traders’ profits from bitcoin investments.

On January 11, a trader invested $9 million in WIF and immediately lost 63% of funds on slippage.
