On Tuesday, Dogwifhat (WIF) was the biggest gainer by price on earth, exploding over 9,000% in 24 hours. This steep rise has been credited to one wildly popular NFT auction and a general meme coin comeback. The trading volume of Dogwifhat (WIF) is up by more than 60% to $473 million on the day.
The most important spark for this boom came on August 7. That hat recently went for 6.8 BTC (~$793,000), the sale taking place on a new Bitcoin Ordinals marketplace called Ord City.

This act sparked considerable interest and speculation.

Finn’s newfound possession of the hat immediately drew a lot of buzz. Fans made guesses over what would come next, such as new merch drops or potential integrations with the Bags platform.

A near-term price adjustment down to $2.85 is expected. If the price drops below $2.80 then a range of consolidation between $2.50 and $2.60 could be expected.
