Benzinga - by Mehab Qureshi, Benzinga Staff Writer.

Memecoins such as Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB), PEPE (CRYPTO: PEPE), Floki (CRYPTO: FLOKI), and BONK (CRYPTO: BONK) are rallying, with prices rocketing.

What Happened: The analytics platform Santiment reports that these memecoins have witnessed an average trading volume increase of over 3,000% in the last seven days.

"#Memecoins, particularly those that have been trending over the past week, have skyrocketed in trading volume due to surging prices and increased crowd interest. On average, $SHIB, $PEPE, $FLOKI, and $BONK has seen volume rise +3,000% in the past week. Consider combining spiking trading volume with spiking social volume as a key volatility and price reversal indicator (whether you are awaiting a top or bottom) for any asset, memecoin or otherwise," Santiment wrote in a tweet.

PEPE, an Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) based memecoin, climbed over 370% in the past week. Now trading at $0.00000682, PEPE’s trading volume has surged into the billions, placing it as the eighth most traded token by volume. Despite ranking 44th in market cap, PEPE has seen its market value double from $1.5 billion to $3 billion in just two days.

On the Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) blockchain, Bonk has also experienced a significant increase, with its price jumping 190% in the last week, approaching its all-time high at $0.0000345. Floki charted a 350% rise on the weekly price index, ranking 16th in trading volume.
