Justin Sun has announced that developers are now working on a stablecoin transfer solution that can function without gas fees on the TRON (TRX) network.

The crypto billionaire says the new service is set to roll out later this year, initially on TRON before expanding to Ethereum (ETH) and other EVM-compatible chains.

“Our team is developing a new solution that enables gas-free stablecoin transfers. In other words, transfers can be made without paying any gas tokens, with the fees being entirely covered by the stablecoins themselves.

This innovation will first be implemented on the Tron blockchain and later support Ethereum and all EVM-compatible public chains.

We anticipate launching this service in Q4 of this year. I believe that similar services will greatly facilitate large companies in deploying stablecoin services on the blockchain, elevating blockchain mass adoption to a new level.”

At time of writing, it’s unclear how the new service will be able to operate without gas fees.

Last month, market intelligence firm Lookonchain reported that the 24-hour trading volume of Tether’s USDT on TRON stood at $53 billion while payment giant Visa’s was only at $42 billion.

“The 24-hour trading volume of USDT on TRON Network is $53 billion, exceeding Visa’s average daily trading volume. Visa’s trading volume in Q1 2024 was $3.78 trillion and the average daily trading volume was $42 billion.”

Dogwifhat, the once-high-flying Solana-based meme coin, suffered a brutal week, mirroring a broader crypto market correction and raising questions about the sustainability of the meme coin craze.

Meme Coin Mania Meets Market Mayhem

WIF, the token powering Dogwifhat, saw its price plummet 15% in just 24 hours. This dramatic drop erased all the gains from a recent rebound rally. The sell-off wasn’t isolated to Dogwifhat; the entire crypto market experienced a double-digit tumble, with major altcoins like Ethereum and Cardano feeling the heat.

Analysts point to a combination of factors behind the downturn, including renewed concerns about inflation and a recent sell-off by the German government and Mt. Gox, a defunct cryptocurrency exchange.

The price of $WIF dropped 15% as the market fell.

The pain for Dogwifhat was further amplified by a whale of a different kind: a large investor. LookOnChain, a blockchain whale tracking agency, identified a major Solana whale dumping 900,000 WIF tokens in a series of transactions. This fire sale, amounting to roughly $1.64 million, undoubtedly contributed to the downward spiral.

Dogfight On Derivatives: Bulls Trampled, Bears Feast

While the Spot market witnessed a bloodbath, the WIF derivatives market displayed a curious mix of activity. Trading volume surged by a surprising 25%, propelling Dogwifhat to the coveted title of third most-demanded meme coin behind Dogecoin and Pepe Token. This surge in volume might suggest increased interest, but a closer look reveals a different story.

Lurking beneath the surface was a brutal battle between bullish and bearish investors. More than $3 million in WIF positions were liquidated in the last 24 hours. This liquidation primarily targeted long positions, meaning investors who bet on the price going up were forced to sell at a loss as the price plummeted.

While some might see the increased volume as a sign of potential revival, the liquidation figures paint a starker picture – many bulls got trampled by the bears feasting on the market downturn.

A Buying Opportunity Or A Boneheaded Move?

Despite the carnage, not everyone has lost faith in Dogwifhat. The plummeting price has attracted some opportunistic “Solana whales” who view the current price as an attractive entry point. This glimmer of hope hinges on the possibility that Dogwifhat can recapture its past glory.

In Q1 2024, Dogwifhat was a meme coin darling, riding the wave of the meme coin craze to a $4 billion market cap and a place in the top 30 global crypto rankings. However, the recent downturn serves as a stark reminder of the inherent volatility of meme coins, which often lack the utility or strong fundamentals of established cryptocurrencies.

The future of Dogwifhat remains uncertain. Whether it can claw its way back from the doghouse or fade into obscurity depends on several factors, including broader market trends, community support, and potential developments within the Dogwifhat ecosystem.

One Solana-based (SOL) meme asset is defying market doldrums and rallying after being listed on numerous crypto exchange platforms.

New data reveals that Billy (BILLY), a dog-themed memecoin built over Solana, has jumped over 30% during the last 24 hours after multiple crypto exchange platforms added support for it.

The crypto exchange platforms that listed Billy include Bittrue, Bitget, MEXC, and Gate.io, who all announced support for the meme asset earlier this week.

Billy is trading for $0.1659 at time of writing, a 36% gain during the last day. On June 26th, Billy was moving for just $0.0286.

Billy, which was launched earlier this year in June and features a picture of a puppy, is outpacing other prominent meme assets during the market’s current consolidation period, which has caused sharp decreases across the board.

Other dog-theme assets, such as dogwifhat (WIF), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Bonk (BONK), and Dogecoin (DOGE), are trading for $1.91, $0.000014, $0.000023, and $0.1046 at time of writing, respectively.

However, DOGE, WIF, SHIB, and BONK are all down between 30-40% during the last month while BILLY is up a staggering 150% during the same time frame.

According to data from blockchain tracker Dexscreener, Billy’s market cap is sitting at $161 million at time of writing while its 24-hour volume is at $24.6 million.
