Cryptocurrency prices are doing well this year, with most of them outperforming traditional assets like the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and the Dow Jones. These indices have all jumped by over 15%, while Bitcoin has risen by almost 60%, and is hovering near its all-time high.
MEW and Popcat tokens are soaring
Cat in a dogs world (MEW) and Popcat (POPCAT) have soared by over 1,000% this year, giving them a market cap of over $1 billion. Analysts believe that these tokens have more upside in the coming months because of their deep liquidity, fear of missing out (FOMO), and their substantial volumes in the spot and futures market.
MEW and Popcat also have positive technicals, with the two of them rising above their short-term and medium-term moving averages. On top of this, there are signs that Bitcoin may be about to have a bullish breakout, which could see it jump to a record high.
It has remained below the key resistance level at $70,000 this week, meaning that it only needs one catalyst to have this breakout. Many experts believe that this rally is possible. For example, analysts at Bernstein have predicted that it will rise above $200,000 in 2025. John Paulson, a billionaire investor, has also expressed optimism in Bitcoin.
A strong Bitcoin breakout would be a positive thing for meme coins like Cat in a dogs world and Popcat. Historically, as we saw earlier this year, meme coins do better than Bitcoin when it makes a bullish breakout.
Vantard may be the next big thing
Crypto analysts and investors are now betting on Vantard, an upcoming meme coin inspired by the success of Vanguard, the second-biggest asset manager in the world with over $7 trillion in assets under management.
Vantard started its pre-sale event this week and has raised $163,000 from global investors in its first stage. The initial price was $0.00010, and will increase across the ten stages, with the next price being $0.00011, a 10% increase.
According to its white paper, 75% of the dedicated treasury funds will be allocated to fundraising. 5 billion tokens went to the pre-seed round, while the ongoing seed fund will have a limit of 40 billion tokens, equivalent to 55.56% of the total. The other 40 billion tokens will go to series A and series B.
Vantard’s key to success is what it calls the first-ever Meme Index Fund (MIF), which aims to give investors access to the best-performing meme coins in a single asset.
The fund will be fully decentralized, with its profits being distributed to holders through the $VTARD token. This fund is inspired by popular Vanguard exchange-traded funds (ETF) like the one tracking the S&P 500 index, which has added over $60 billion in assets this year.
Vatard’s MIF fund will also have a surge pricing model, where investors will pay a 0% fee during periods of low activity and up to 50% during high-peak demand periods. The goal of this fee is to discourage mass redemptions.
The other top benefit is that it will give investors access to the best meme coins in the industry. As such, instead of buying tens tokens hoping to catch the next big thing, an investor in the fund will have access to the best of them. You can learn more about Vantard here.
