With $POPCAT climbing rapidly and whales staking large amounts of $SOL, it’s clear that both meme tokens and blue-chip coins on the Solana network are seeing increased activity. As investors look to take advantage of these trends, $POPCAT and $SOL could continue to dominate discussions in the crypto space. Whether the meme coin surge will last remains to be seen, but for now, both assets are seeing significant gains.
