A Rising $DOG Lifts All Runes

Slowly but surely, after a few days of pain with hacks and nasty pullbacks, things are getting better with a few bits of encouraging news.

First up is the announcement last night that $DOG has now been listed on one of the hottest retail-focused memecoin apps, Moonshot. With 20 million users, Moonshot opens up a whole new audience not just for $DOG, but for Bitcoin tokens as a whole. It’s fair to assume more Rune projects will follow, so whether you hold $DOG or not, we should all be rooting for its success over there. A rising dog lifts all runes.

Sadly though, gone are the days, at least for now, where a Moonshot listing would give a coin an instant 5-10x. In fact, $DOG is currently down 2.3% over the past 24 hours.

Still, it’s a great move in preparation for when things liven up again, which hopefully is soon, because this market is boring just about everyone to death right now.

On top of that, Slingshot gave us an update yesterday, stating they are “finishing up a few major optimizations” before Runes trading goes live. Doesn’t sound like there’s too long to wait!

And Unisat announced “Uniscan,” which they’ve called “the one explorer for all your Bitcoin needs.” With Uniscan, you’ll be able to search across Bitcoin protocols, check address portfolios, and explore transaction histories. More details below:

Daily Bites: Today’s Top Articles

Todays Markets

Ordinals

A couple of good showings today, namely from Lunatics and OnChainMonkey, but prices are once again trending down overall.

Airheads is a bit of a mixed bag with their main collection down 17%, while their Whale Pass is up 24%.

Tomorrow brings the mint for Bangers 3rd Show, with 666 pieces going for 0.002666 each. Let’s see how that performs and whether it can reignite some interest.

Runes

$DOG tops the leaderboard once again today, reclaiming its position over the now fully migrated $MIM. As expected, $MIM takes a post-event hit, down 18%.

$ZBIT also takes a large knock, down about the same at 20%.

$DEC makes a comeback and positions itself at 9th today, this being the first CTO’d Rune after the Kongz team sunsetted their involvement last year. Can it ever return to its former glory? Stranger things have happened, like $TESLA, a Rune that no one you know owns, being up 30% today.

OdinFun takes a backseat again with trading still paused until later.

It’ll be interesting to see if there’s a frenzy of buying when things open back up at 7PM UTC. Prices are devastatingly low at the moment, and it’s likely many will be eyeing OdinDog at this price of 213 sats ($3.7M market cap).

The FunkyBit chart looks largely no different from yesterday, with FunkyMonkey pushing above $400K and Pepodins dipping slightly under $200K.

GrandmasterFunk remains the leader over there, and Andrew Lawrence recently spoke with Barbra where he talked through the platform and the furore surrounding the token he deployed.
