FLOKI and other Altcoins Fueled by Bitcoin (BTC) Surge
While Bitcoin is a few percentage points down from touching its all-time high recently, the leading cryptocurrency continues to pump into other cryptocurrencies and altcoins. This includes meme-tokens such as FLOKI, PEPE, and Shiba Inu (SHIB). With BTC approaching its previous peak, many investors hope other altcoins will follow BTC’s path.
FLOKI is still significantly down from its 2021 high, as are most altcoins. However, the BTC pumping is pumping new life into the market, thus causing Floki Inu to surge. Both FLOKI and BTC reached their respective peaks around the same time. Therefore, there is a possibility that the memecoin will display a similar pattern this time around as well.
