This Solana Meme Coin Explodes 50% Daily: Here’s Why
Check out why some X (Twitter) users believe a WIF listing on CEX might be impending.
TL;DR
- Solana meme coin WIF (dogwifhat) experienced a significanT price surge, exceeding $0.20.
- A crypto whale’s actions sparked speculation about a potential WIF listing on Binance.
The popular Solana-based meme coin – dogwifhat (WF) – is among the top-performing cryptocurrencies today (January 11), with its price spiking by over 50% and exceeding the $0.20 mark (per CoinGecko’s data). Its market capitalization temporarily surpassed the $230 million level, currently hovering around $200 million.
WIF’s latest rally follows a highly successful 7-day period, during which the asset’s value has increased by over 65%. However, it’s still down from the peak of $0.32 registered shortly before Christmas.
Today’s upswing coincides with the actions of a crypto whale who spent 86,738 SOL (equaling $8.65 million at the time of the transaction) to acquire 17.22 million WIF tokens. The investor is the second-largest holder of WIF after previously purchasing almost 20 million assets.
According to the blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain, the whale calls themselves a “Binance insider” and “seems to want to tell everyone” that the token will be listed on the largest exchange by trading volume.
WIF wouldn’t be the first Solana meme coin supported by the company (assuming it really has intentions to embrace it). In December, Binance listed Bonk Inu (BONK), contributing to the token’s all-time high price rally and its brief market cap ascent above $2 billion.

Goldman Sachs Global Stock Market Outlook: AI Capital Expenditure to Peak Next Year, Earnings Growth to "Slow Down Significantly", Cloud Giants Become "Defensive Assets"
Goldman Sachs’ 2027 Global Equity Strategy points out that the AI capital expenditure boom is nearing its peak, and global profit growth will slow significantly. S&P 500 earnings growth is expected to drop from 36% to 11%, with depreciation pressures gradually emerging. However, cloud giants’ valuations have adjusted to a forward P/E of 19.7, lower than the staples sector, and are classified as “relatively defensive” assets. Goldman Sachs predicts an S&P 500 target of 8,700 points and suggests overweighting the US and Japan, while underweighting Europe.
With $135 billion worth of Nvidia stock, will Jensen Huang cash out?
After Jensen Huang stepped down, his Nvidia holdings of approximately 812 million shares, valued at $135 billion, became a major pressure on the stock price. Any reduction in holdings is subject to both legal and market constraints: shares can only be sold compliantly after the disclosure of any undisclosed negative information, and the volume is equivalent to six trading days’ total market transactions, meaning large-scale cashouts would have to be spread over several months.
Will the traditional Christmas rally still happen in the US stock market this year?
After a simultaneous technical and position-based recovery in the US stock market, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan have successively signaled a year-end rebound. Extremely light positions, mean reversion of valuations, and seasonal support together create conditions for a short squeeze. However, global manufacturing import price inflation has annualized at around 24%, surpassing the pandemic peak, and the inflation bill will come due intensively in the first quarter of next year. Goldman Sachs warns that once the year-end rally materializes, it may exhaust future upside potential.
