Meme Coin Party Begins After GameStop Rally, Adds $5 Billion To Index
GameStop Corp (NYSE: GME) is back in action once again leading to a strong frenzy on Wall Street. On Monday, May 13, the GameStop (GME) price rallied by a strong 75% shooting all the way to $30.45, with the GME stock price pumping an additional 21% in the aftermarket hours. Interestingly, the GameStop (GME) meme coin has rallied by a staggering 2200% in the last 24 hours. This has also led to a strong rally across the meme coin sector.
GameStop Rally Triggers 2021-Like Meme Coin Party
According to on-chain data provider Santiment, the memecoin market witnessed an attention-grabbing kickoff to the week, marked by notable breakouts and decouplings within the past 24 hours. Trading volumes among the top 50 assets in the meme coin sector surged by over 34%. Furthermore, this sector alone has added $5 billion to investors’ wealth in the last 24 hours. The dogecoin (DOGE) price has surged 10%
Coins like $PEPE, $MAGA, $MOG, $BITCOIN, $PONKE, $PEPE2.0, $SPX, and $ANALOS are now attracting considerable interest, presenting potential opportunities for significant volatility. These developments highlight the dynamic nature of the memecoin market, prompting investors to keep a close watch on these assets.
Short Seller Losses Cross $1 Billion
During the 2021 pandemic period, Reddit traders, led by Keith Gill, orchestrated a remarkable turnaround against hedge funds that had been profiting from short positions on what they perceived to be a struggling brick-and-mortar game store. This unexpected surge of support sent the price of GME skyrocketing by over 1,000% in less than a month.
Monday’s astounding surge in GameStop’s stock price inflicted losses nearing $1 billion on short sellers, as reported by data from S3 Partners.
As GameStop surged by 74%, hedge funds engaged in short selling faced a mark-to-market loss totaling $838 million in the brick-and-mortar video game retailer, according to data from S3 Partners.
The abrupt uptick in the stock price appeared to be instigated by “Roaring Kitty,” who previously rallied a legion of day traders to invest in the gaming stock in 2021, a historic event in Wall Street’s annals. Ihor Dusaniwsky, S3 managing director of predictive analytics said: “Expect short covering in this stock as it already had a 100/100 squeeze score prior to today’s trading”.

Amid a highly bullish DOGE market witnessed recently, Dogecoin whales’ action to heavily accumulate the token has garnered significant attention among traders and investors globally. On-chain data indicates over 500 million coins were bought from crypto exchanges, signaling increased market confidence in the asset’s long-term prospects. In the wake of this market statistic amid a bull market, crypto watchers anticipate a staggering 9000% gain in the dog-themed coin’s price ahead.
Dogecoin Whale Accumulation Spikes As Over 500M Coins Bought Recently
As per an X post by the renowned crypto market analyst Ali Martinez on November 21, Dogecoin whales bagged over 550 million tokens, worth $214.5 million, from crypto exchanges over the past week. This massive purchase has put significant buying pressure on the asset, pointing out the potential for considerable upside movement ahead.
Notably, the leading dog-themed meme crypto already surfs bullish tides, primarily attributable to the broader market events. Mainly, with Elon Musk’s taking the D.O.G.E. (Department of Government Efficiency) role under Donald Trump’s cabinet, market sentiments surrounding the meme coin have turned highly bullish.
Aligning with this endeavor, a recent CoinGape Media report reveals that D.O.G.E leads Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy further outlined a strategy to reduce the federal workforce under Trump’s presidency. This saga garnered significant attention to the meme coin which is also much touted by Musk. It’s noteworthy that Elon and Vivek are also starting a podcast named “dogecast.” These chronicles, in turn, bring substantial attention to Dogecoin.
Simultaneously, in light of these broader events and the massive buying pressure brought by whales, market watchers foresee a phenomenal rally ahead.
DOGE To Soar 9000% Ahead?
At press time, DOGE price gained slightly by 0.5% intraday and is resting at $0.387, amid a surge in Dogecoin whale activity. The coin’s 24-hour low and high were $0.3666 and $0.3956, respectively. Notably, the monthly chart for the meme coin showcases gains worth 173%. This bullish movement has sparked further investor curiosity despite the recent turbulent performance.
Notably, leading crypto analyst Ali Martinez further spotlights that for DOGE to finally witness a 9,000% parabolic rally, 40% to 50% corrections are sure to be expected. This bullish projection rides the back of historical trends, as the meme coin witnessed a 9,470% pump in 2017 with two major corrections of 40% and another at 84%. In addition, recent on-chain data also indicates a potential rally for top meme coins like DOGE, SHIB, and others, in the coming days.
Subsequently, the coin skyrocketed 30,700% in 2021, seeing two key pullbacks of 46% and 53%. These statements indicate substantial potential for Dogecoin to pump ahead in the light of a broader bull meme coin market, further accompanied by massive whale accumulations.

Decentralized Layer-1 blockchain Sui Network faced a major downtime with no blocks produced in the last few hours. The data from Suivision showed that the network faced a “major outage” as some validators faced problems with approving transactions. SUI price tumbled 10% but recovered as the network started processing transactions again.
Sui Network Faced Major Outage
The Sui Network has been down for more than two hours, according to reports from Suivision. The blockchain didn’t produced any blocks since 09:15 UTC today.
The Sui community members have reported issues with some validators, and the team is currently investigating the cause of the disruption. The official handle on the X platform has acknowledged this downtime:
“The Sui network is currently experiencing an outage and not processing transactions. We’ve identified the issue and a fix will be deployed shortly. We appreciate your patience and will continue to provide updates.”
Dubbed the Solana-killer, this is the first time that the Sui Network has been facing such an outage. Referring to the past outages for Solana, the crypto community members have been taking jabs at Sui. Some wrote “No wonder Sui is the next Sol” while others called it a “Solana moment. Bullish”. It has also triggered a meme frenzy with “first time?” tags on the X platform.

According to SanXz, the Sui Network is actually not down. The analyst added that the Sui team is actively investigating an RPC issue related to validators, which has caused disruptions.
However, one user ‘reisen’ responded to this analysis by saying: “Having nodes/validators operational is useless when no blocks are produced – So not producing blocks for 1:50h is equivalent to being down”.
The Sui network is back up and processing transactions again, thanks to swift work from the incredible community of Sui validators.
The 2-hour downtime was caused by a bug in transaction scheduling logic that caused validators to crash, which has now been resolved. https://t.co/TJh2zwvQcD

Price Tumbled 10% During Downtime?
While the SUI price might see some volatility as the network resumes transactions, the community hasn’t turned bearish yet. One X platform handle Bullishify.sui wrote:
“Sui pulling a Solana? Remember when $SOL went down in Dec 2020, then ripped 1000% right after? $SUI like, ‘Yeah, we’re following the script too.’ Buckle up, fam!”
The SUI price recovered after dropping 10% over the last 24 hours, and currently trading at $3.63. As per CoinGape analysis, SUI price can rally to $18 with 750% gains on the monthly timeline and more than 500% gains on the yearly timeline.
