Whales target new memecoins: Is it hype, or are OGs losing their edge? Twice this year, the memecoin market cap surged to $116 billion, capturing the attention of risk-hungry investors.

Since DOGE first launched in 2013, the number of these tokens has only exploded, with celebrity-backed memes making headlines along the way. Clearly, everyone’s eager to jump in, but the real power still lies with the “saviors” or “accumulators” – the Whales, who continue to dominate the game.

The conversation, already charged with competing ideologies, took another turn when accusations of centralization were raised against Ripple. Some within the crypto community, particularly Bitcoin supporters, remain skeptical of XRP's structure, with prominent voices questioning Ripple’s role and influence.
