Meme coins have seen a resurgence in activity, with substantial whale transactions noted for PEPE, SHIB, and FLOKI.
- Santiment reported significant increases in $100,000+ transactions for these coins over the last week.
- FLOKI on Ethereum saw a 950% increase in whale transactions, while PEPE saw a 620% rise.
- SHIB ranked tenth with a 111% increase.
Despite recent market declines, meme coins started January with strong bullish momentum:
- The global crypto market cap increased from $2.96 trillion to $3.2 trillion between Jan. 1-6.
- PEPE gained 57% over seven days, FLOKI 36%, and SHIB 26%.
Recent trading data shows active movement of these coins through major exchanges:

- SHIB's top transaction went to Cumberland DRW, with movements involving Coinbase Prime and Coinhako.
- FLOKI's significant transaction was a $436,700 transfer from Binance's hot wallet.
The market is expected to remain volatile due to quick liquidity changes in leading exchanges, positioning meme coins in a high-risk, high-reward zone.
