HOPPY and TRUBO top meme coin gainers as market recovers

The cryptocurrency market has seen a significant turnaround following Friday’s dramatic plunge, with meme coins HOPPY and TURBO emerging as top gainers amidst the recovery.

Friday’s turmoil, triggered by concerns over the Mt. Gox Bitcoin (BTC) payout of nearly $9 billion to creditors and heavy liquidations in the derivatives markets, led to over $170 billion being wiped off the market. However, today’s resurgence indicates a renewed investor confidence and resilience in the crypto space.

Crypto market bounces back after Friday’s scare plunge

Friday’s market downturn led to widespread panic selling, with Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies seeing steep declines.

Bitcoin, for instance, fell below $55,000 for the first time since February and dropped to as low as $53,513.55, reflecting the heightened uncertainty among investors.

Analysts were even predicting BTC could hit $50k in the wake of massive transfer of bitcoins by Mt. Gox to a hot wallet addressing readiness for the repayments.

However, today the market has shown signs of recovery with Bitcoin bouncing back above $58,000, and Ethereum getting back above $3,000, indicating a reversal of the sharp decline witnessed on Friday.

This recovery comes amidst reassurances from Mt. Gox’s trustee about the ongoing repayments to creditors, which have helped alleviate some of the selling pressure.
