Memecoins have been a major trend in the cryptocurrency sector lately, with many observers speculating on their future. Such "memecoin projects" are coins or tokens created for pure entertainment and have no intrinsic value or financial return expectation. One of the most notable recent examples of this is MongCoin (MONG), which gained a massive and unexpected 7874% price surge in just three days, rivaling even the very popular PEPE coin. Per those at the MongCoin team, there is a total of 565.8 trillion MONG tokens currently in circulation, valued at $30.8 million.

The coin is available to be traded on Uniswap, both on v2 and v3, as the MONG/WETH pair. Hundreds of thousands of tweets have been posted on Twitter with 295K of them being about MONG. This kind of excitement across social media is typical for memecoins. The Doge-themed memecoins DOGE, SHIB, FLOKI and BABYDOGE saw price rallies when April started and PEPE coin has become increasingly popular. As the hype for memecoin projects continues to grow, many in the crypto community are wondering if it will last for a long period of time or fade away quickly.

At this point, the value and success of these casual investments remain to be seen, yet they are certainly having a strong impact on the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem. The increasing competition between memecoins is bringing unexpected and exciting events, making it hard to predict which coins will emerge on top. All in all, the current memecoin season is undoubtedly a wild and interesting one that shouldn't be taken too seriously.
