GameStop (GME) Meme Coin Outperforms the Stock

In the last 24 hours alone, it appreciated 42%, changing hands at $0.007012.
Moreover, in the past seven days, it saw a massive increase of 187%.
At the time of writing, it’s the best-performing coin in the 24-hour category.

While trading sideways for the past two months or so, the coin shoots up on May 12.
It rose 2,107% by the following day and 3,865% by May 14.
Just a day later, it hit its all-time high of $0.02167, dropping 67% since.
As reported , the Ethereum-based token saw a revival following the return to Twitter of trader Roaring Kitty , known for sparking the (in)famous GameStop frenzy in the first place.
This post has been viewed over 27.5 million times so far.
Also, the latest surge unsurprisingly prompted the creation of more GME-named coins.
As for the GME stock, it jumped from $17.46 to $48.75 by May 14, a 179.2% increase.
It’s up 122% in the past month and down 15.55% in the past five days.

Over the last day, it fell nearly 20% to $22.21.
This shows that the meme coin far outperformed the stock.
FLOKI DAO Votes ‘Yes’ to Burning 15.25 Billion Coins
FLOKI announced on Wednesday that the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) had voted in favor of burning almost 15.25 billion FLOKI tokens, currently worth just below $3 million.
Notably, the decision was reached nearly unanimously.
The coins will be burnt this week.
The proposal went live on May 13.
It noted that the DAO held three key burn-related votes so far.
“In each of these cases, the decision of the Floki DAO was swiftly executed, making it clear that Floki is a completely decentralized cryptocurrency and the Floki DAO ultimately determines the direction of the project,” it said .
One of the votes focused on burning excess tokens recovered from the blacklisted wallet in July 2022.
Some of the affected wallets did not send in the tokens before the deadline. However, one of these recently sent more than 15 billion FLOKI (currently worth over $2.8m million), asking “for a small incentive in return.”
The proposal suggested giving the affected wallet 1% of the tokens returned (154,000,000 tokens), hoping to incentivize other affected wallets to send in the excess tokens they currently hold.
The excess tokens not returned should be considered burnt and inaccessible, the proposal said. The blacklisted wallets cannot do anything with them except send them to the Floki multisig.
FLOKI is down 1.5% over the past 24 hours, currently trading at $0.000196.
However, it appreciated nearly 14% over the past week.
Meanwhile, FLOKI also recently announced that it’s nearing half a million followers on its CoinMarketCap community page.
Notably, Revolut Business recently listed FLOKI , enabling European commercial accounts to invest in the asset.
Shina Inu Could Hit $1 by 2050
In other meme coin news, by 2050, SHIB could be worth $1. This would be an excellent development for long-term big bag holders.
To reach this conclusion, forecaster Telegaon analyzed factors such as market trends, investor sentiment, trading volume, technological developments, and external influences, it said.
Per the analysts’ predictions, SHIB’s max price this year could reach $0.0000601.
In 2025, that price could rise to $0.0000728. At the end of this decade, we could see the token reach $0.000712.
Over the next few years, it could lose some of those front zeroes.
Five years later, we’re looking at a possibility of $0.00216, followed by $0.089 in 2040, and $1.06 in 2050.
The average price by 2050 could reach $0.89 and a minimum of $0.62.

Currently the 12th coin per market cap, SHIB trades at $0.00002396.
It is down 0.3% in a day and up 0.5% in a week.
Over the past year, the coin’s price increased by 175%.
It hit its all-time high of $0.00008616 in October 2021. SHIB has dropped 72% since.
The coin, however, is up a whopping 42,564,577.6% from its all-time low seen in November 2020.

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.
