Blue-chip cryptocurrencies are having another strong day today, with the top crypto gainers seeing increases of up to 16 in 24 hours and 30 in a week.
Today’s bullish performance comes as the market continues to gain momentum en route to what many are expecting will be a full-on bull market in 2024.
Major causes of this potential bull market are likely to come from the SEC formally approving Bitcoin ETFs, as well as from the Fed cutting rates and the next Bitcoin halving in April.
Bitcoin itself is having a relatively quiet day as far as 24-hour movements are concerned, but with the coin now up to $43,500, it has risen by 12.5 in a week and by 159 in the last 12 months.
And while the industry still faces several regulatory challenges, the completion of Ripple’s case with the SEC next year is also likely to provide further clarity and optimism, boosting prices further.
It has also been a good day for meme tokens and junk coins trading (mostly) on DEXes, with the following article providing a rundown of the top crypto gainers today on DEXTools.
PEPEFace (PPFace)
New ‘deflationary’ meme token PEPEFace (PPFace) has had an interesting few days, having gained by approximately 18,000 on Sunday and then collapsed by 99 on Wednesday.
However, as its chart below shows, it has now seemingly come back from the dead, rising by 762 in the past 24 hours and reaching a current value of $0.002216.

DEXTools puts its market cap at around $2.2 million, with a total supply of 1 billion tokens and a holder count of only 288 addresses.
It’s currently trading on Uniswap against Wrapped Ethereum (WETH), and while it has a low project reliability score, its resurgence today may tempt a few traders.
Gemini (GEMINI)
Also trading on Uniswap against WETH, GEMINI has gained by 19,000 in the past 24 hours, according to DEXTools.
So far, it still appears to be rising, with modestly increasing volume and no signs (as of yet) of any rug pull.

As some traders may be aware, this new GEMINI meme token has shamelessly appropriated the name of Gemini, a suite of AI- and machine learning-based tools recently announced by Google.
It isn’t the first junk coin to do this, with Gemini AI (GEMINI) pumping and dumping earlier in the week.
#PeckShieldAlert #slippage Gemini Ai $Gemini has dropped -99.58
The address 0x6Caa…3129 has swapped 4,248,342,655,043,365.9 $GEMINI for 133.97 $WETH (~$299.7K)

Traders should therefore proceed with caution.
Sect Bot (SECT)
Unlike GEMINI and PPFace, Sect Bot (SECT) is a bonafide cryptocurrency project, with the coin being the native token of a recently launched Telegram bot that incentivizes competition among traders.
It listed on Uniswap on December 6, and is currently trading against Ethereum (ETH), with the token being up by 3,700 in the past 24 hours.

Also in contrast to the two coins above, Sect Bot has a more tangible and significant online presence, with its Twitter account having around 2,700 followers and with the project claiming 500 Telegram groups are now using its bot.
The adoption is exploding. Already over 500 groups and 350,000 members have access to our bot.
You can expect this number to increase drastically.
