Solana-Based GME Memecoin Skyrockets 150% Following Roaring Kitty's Return to YouTube

cryptodailyОпубліковано о 2024-06-04Востаннє оновлено о 2024-06-09

The Solana-based GME coin (GME), a memecoin inspired by the 2021 GameStop short squeeze, saw its value jump over 150% to $0.029 on June 7.

This dramatic increase coincided with the announcement from Keith Gill, known as Roaring Kitty, about his return to YouTube after three years.

Gill, a key figure in the 2021 GameStop trading frenzy, recently hinted at active trading in GameStop shares, triggering a resurgence of interest in GameStop-related investments.

Since June 2, the price of GME cryptocurrency has skyrocketed over 730%, following Gill’s disclosure of trading GameStop’s stock, which itself has soared by more than 110% since his announcement.

Despite the lack of detailed content in Keith Gill’s YouTube announcement, it spurred significant speculation that he might be optimistic about GameStop’s future.

This anticipation has electrified the investor community; one notable instance involved a trader who turned a $2 million investment in Solana’s native token into a $1.5 million profit through GME memecoin.

Gill’s upcoming livestream, scheduled for noon New York time, is poised to potentially impact both GameStop shares and related cryptocurrency tokens further.

However, there’s a looming risk of sharp price corrections for the GME coin, especially once Gill’s livestream concludes.

This potential downturn aligns with the “sell the news” phenomenon prevalent in financial markets—prices often surge in anticipation of an event and plummet after the fact as traders sell to capitalize on the hype.

A similar scenario occurred in May 2021 when Dogecoin plummeted by 25% just minutes after Elon Musk mentioned it during a “Saturday Night Live” episode, despite reaching a peak shortly before his appearance.

Technical analysis of the GME token reveals a relative strength index (RSI) of around 82, signaling that it might be overbought.

This suggests possible forthcoming corrections similar to an 80% drop experienced in May.

Additionally, a bearish divergence is forming between the rising price and falling RSI momentum, indicating potential exhaustion among buyers.

Should the market correct, the immediate target for GME in June could be around $0.228, corresponding to the 1.618 Fibonacci retracement level.

In the event of a more significant downturn, the key target might be the 50-day exponential moving average at about $0.005, an 80% decline from its current price.

Now the Greatest Regret Is to My Family: Crypto Experts Took a Stumble in the Stock Market

Summary: This article examines the significant losses recently suffered by cryptocurrency traders and influencers who ventured into the stock market, specifically by heavily investing in AI-related and semiconductor storage stocks. The narrative centers on the dramatic reversal in the Korean and US equity markets in late July, with stocks like SK Hynix and related leveraged ETFs experiencing historic plunges, erasing massive gains. The analysis highlights several key factors behind the "flip." Traders, accustomed to crypto's high volatility and frustrated by a stagnant market, chased the apparent momentum in AI-themed equities. Many made fatal mistakes: applying high-leverage strategies common in crypto (e.g., 2x ETFs, on-chain perpetual contracts) to stocks, and failing to understand the distinct rules of different stock markets (like Korean pre-market trading). This led to widespread liquidations, especially when a thin Korean pre-market trade triggered a cascading flash crash on a decentralized exchange. Post-crash reflections from prominent figures reveal deep regret and self-criticism. They acknowledge misjudging their expertise, overestimating their edge against sophisticated institutional players, and the dangers of leverage. The article concludes that while such setbacks are part of trading, surviving long-term requires recognizing one's limitations and the inherent risks of cross-market strategies.

US Senate Makes Important Amendments to "Conflict of Interest" Section of Cryptocurrency Bill

The U.S. Senate has taken a key step regarding the CLARITY Act, which could shape the future of the U.S. crypto market. On July 29, Senators Tom Tillis and Ruben Gallego finalized amendments to the bill's "conflict of interest" rules, one of its most contentious aspects. The bipartisan bill aims to tighten restrictions on high-level federal officials' ties to digital assets. The new text, crafted as an alternative to a White House-endorsed ethics code, is expected to impose stricter rules limiting officials' ability to issue or directly participate in digital asset projects. However, with Congress entering an August recess and the revised text not yet reviewed by much of the Senate, the bill's timeline is uncertain. Senate Majority Leader John Thune indicated a procedural vote could occur between July 29 and August 1 but expressed doubt the full bill could pass before the break. The House-approved CLARITY Act, passed in July 2025, has been under Senate negotiation for over a year. Key goals of the CLARITY Act include clarifying jurisdictional boundaries between the SEC and CFTC, setting rules for digital commodity spot markets, and addressing topics like stablecoin yields, DeFi, and illicit financing. The stablecoin yield provisions could significantly impact U.S.-based DeFi protocols, exchanges, and issuers, affecting their global competitiveness. The outcome is being closely watched by both the U.S. and global digital asset markets.

Pavel Durov Designated as a Terrorist in Russia. What Does This Mean for Telegram Users?

Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, has been added to Russia's list of terrorists and extremists by Rosfinmonitoring, as published on July 30. The entry includes his name and date of birth. The designation follows an announcement by the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) on July 29, which charged Durov with aiding terrorist activity. The FSB alleges that a Telegram dating bot named "DaiVinchik" was used to recruit 46 individuals for attacks on police and arson, orchestrated by Ukrainian special services. The FSB also accuses Telegram's administration of failing to remove channels and bots used by Ukrainian intelligence and extremist groups. Durov is reportedly subject to an international arrest warrant. Inclusion on the Rosfinmonitoring list leads to significant restrictions: the freezing of Durov's bank accounts and assets, severe limitations on financial transactions, and a ban on election participation, media interaction, and event organization. Transfers to his accounts may be considered terrorism financing. For ordinary Russian Telegram users, purchasing Telegram Premium is not classified as financing terrorism, according to an IT expert. General use of the messenger—messaging, managing channels—does not automatically make a user a participant in extremist activity. There has been no official decision to ban Telegram itself. It is noted that French authorities are also investigating Durov over allegations of inadequate measures against criminal activity on the platform and insufficient cooperation with law enforcement. Durov denies all charges.
