In the aftermath of the 50 basis point cut, Ethereum, Solana, and Bitcoin have shown resilience, overcoming weakness. Notably, the resurgence of Solana prices from their September lows has provided relief for several tokens within its ecosystem, particularly meme coins.

Solana Meme Coin Ecosystem Rebounding

Over the past week, Solana has seen a nearly 11% increase, according to Coingecko data. This expansion has led to a rise in the total market cap of Solana meme coins to $7.2 billion, marking an 8% increase in the last 24 hours.

Among these, DogWifHat (WIF) stands as the largest meme coin on Solana with a market cap exceeding $1.8 billion. Meanwhile, the only other meme coin on this network surpassing $1 billion in market cap is Bonk, currently at $1.2 billion.
