The Solana-based meme coin, Dogwifhat (WIF), has surged to prominence, overtaking PEPE to claim the title of the third-largest meme coin by market capitalization. This significant feat underscores the coin’s rapid ascent, driven by a substantial increase in both its price and overall market cap, which stands at $4.48 billion.

Meanwhile, PEPE, inspired by the controversial Pepe the Frog webcomic character, has seen a modest 1.84% price surge over the last 24 hours and holds a market cap of $3.37 billion. Moreover, the meme coin has faced an uptrend of 6% over the past week, highlighting a contrast in performance compared to the surging WIF.
