    PEPE Adds 61% Thanks to This Driver: Santiment

    Within the last 24 hours, the coin’s growth constitutes slightly under 10%. In the meantime, the two leading meme cryptocurrencies — Dogecoin and Shiba Inu — have begun to slump after large recent growth. DOGE has gone down 2.01% over the past 24 hours, and .Still, DOGE is up 7.79%, and SHIB has grown 16.73% over the past seven days.The massive growth of the crypto market, and the meme coin sector in particular in terms of price and trading volume, is due to the Bitcoin surge above the $30,000 level after several major Wall Street firms, including Fidelity, launched their own crypto exchange.

    Crypto enthusiasts are wrong to target Gary Gensler

    Critics argue that he paints cryptocurrencies with too broad a brush. They argue that he gaslights well-meaning entrepreneurs by encouraging them to “come in and register,” knowing his process is set up for them to fail. They argue he knows new rules are needed but prefers to enforce impractical rules in order to stifle the industry altogether.
