Spongebob Token (SPONGE) Jumps to $2.7 Million Market Cap in Just Hours

A new meme token has taken the crypto market by storm. Spongebob Token (SPONGE) saw its trading volume spike to $1 million in less than an hour, with three-quarters of market participants buying in, suggesting strong upward momentum.

At the time of writing, SPONGE’s market capitalization is $2.7 million, with a total supply of 40.4 billion tokens. While it is unclear what utility the coin currently has or the plans for the future, it’s backing from alpha callers in the crypto space on Discord and elsewhere has generated a buzz around the token.

Spongebob Token Launch

SPONGE’s liquidity pool was created at 13:22 UTC on May 4, and its total liquidity stands at $2.13 million. The ease with which coins can be launched in the age of artificial intelligence has led to a trend of launching coins directly on decentralized exchanges (DEXs). This trend is partly fueled by crypto traders turning their backs on centralized exchanges in the wake of the FTX collapse.

Since its launch on April 17th, PEPE, a DEX-only meme coin, has seen a 6,135% surge in price, with gains of 85% just today. With a price of $0.000001731, a $1,000 investment in PEPE on April 17th would now be worth $60,000. Such returns are what drives the speculative frenzy often associated with crypto assets.

The launch of Spongebob Token follows in the footsteps of Turbo Toad Token (TURBO), which was created in just a week using the OpenAI chatbot ChatGPT. From smart contract to mascot, everything was built with minimal human intervention, courtesy of AI. TURBO’s success has encouraged the launch of more meme coins, with SPONGE being the latest addition.

As regulatory troubles engulf major centralized exchanges like Coinbase, more market players are turning to DEXs. However, liquidity for new coins is always an issue unless the project has backers with deep pockets. SPONGE’s success in gaining traction within hours of launch is a promising sign for the meme token.

While the future of SPONGE is uncertain, the hype around the coin is likely to continue in the coming days.

The Spongebob Token website provides more information about the coin, and the Uniswap widget available there allows direct trading. The token also has a Twitter account that is worth following for upcoming developments.

In conclusion, SPONGE’s rapid rise to a $2.7 million market capitalization is another example of the speculative frenzy surrounding meme tokens in the crypto market. While investing in such coins can be risky, the potential for high returns has attracted many traders.

As the popularity of DEXs continues to rise and AI technology makes launching coins easier, we can expect to see more meme tokens like SPONGE in the future.
