While the major cryptocurrencies are struggling to find direction amid the uncertainty of the US Federal Reserve’s monetary policy, some low-cap tokens are soaring on the decentralized exchange Uniswap. PepeFork, LarryCoin and DeepSouth AI are among the top crypto gainers today, posting impressive gains of over 100% in the past 24 hours.
PepeFork (PORK) Surges Over 200%
PepeFork (PORK) is a new token that claims to be a fork of the popular Pepe Coin, a meme-based cryptocurrency that features the iconic Pepe the Frog character. According to its website, PepeFork aims to create a community-driven platform for Pepe enthusiasts, where they can create, trade and collect Pepe NFTs.
The token was launched on Uniswap on Wednesday, and it quickly attracted the attention of traders and speculators. As per DEXTools, PORK’s price surged from $0.0004 to $0.0098 in less than a day, representing a staggering increase of over 2,300%. The token’s market cap reached $213 million, while its liquidity was around $170,000.
However, potential investors should be wary of the risks involved in buying PORK, as the token’s smart contract has a minting function that could allow the issuer to create more tokens at will. This could lead to inflation and dilution of the token’s value. Moreover, the token’s website and social media accounts provide little information about the project’s team, roadmap and vision.
LarryCoin (LARRY) Jumps 250%
LarryCoin (LARRY) is another meme-based token that has seen a massive spike in price and volume on Uniswap. The token’s website describes it as “a decentralized community experiment” that is “not a serious project”. The token’s name and logo are inspired by Larry David, the comedian and creator of the TV shows Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
LARRY was launched on Uniswap in October 2023, and it has been trading in a narrow range of $0.0001 to $0.0002 for most of its existence. However, on Wednesday, the token suddenly exploded in popularity, as its price soared from $0.0002 to $0.0007, marking a 250% increase. The token’s market cap reached $500,000, while its liquidity was around $400,000.
Unlike PORK, LARRY does not have any minting function in its smart contract, which means that its supply is fixed at 1 trillion tokens. However, this does not mean that the token is safe or reliable, as the project’s website clearly states that it is “not a serious project” and that “there is no team, no vision, no roadmap”. Therefore, investors should exercise caution and do their own research before buying LARRY.
DeepSouth AI (SOUTH) Climbs 113%
DeepSouth AI (SOUTH) is a token that claims to be “the world’s first decentralized artificial intelligence platform” that leverages blockchain technology and machine learning to provide solutions for various industries and sectors. According to its website, SOUTH aims to create a global network of AI nodes that can collaborate and compete with each other, creating a “self-evolving and self-improving AI ecosystem”.
The token was launched on Uniswap in November 2023, and it has been steadily gaining traction and value since then. As per DEXTools, SOUTH’s price rose from $0.047 to $0.10 on Wednesday, representing a 113% increase. The token’s market cap reached $4.75 million, while its liquidity was around $325,000.
SOUTH has a relatively high DEXTscore of 99/99, which indicates that the token has a good level of activity, popularity and trustworthiness on Uniswap. However, the token’s smart contract has six issues that could pose some security or functionality risks, such as the lack of a burn function, the presence of a transfer tax, and the possibility of a rug pull. Therefore, investors should be careful and do their due diligence before buying SOUTH.
Crypto Alternatives to Consider
Low-cap tokens can offer huge potential returns, but they also come with a lot of risk. They are often subject to high volatility, manipulation, scams and hacks, and they may have little or no fundamental value or utility. For those looking for a better probability of near-term gains, an alternative high-risk, high-reward investment strategy to consider is getting involved in crypto presales.
Presales are events where investors can buy the tokens of new and upcoming crypto projects at a discounted price, before they are listed on exchanges or platforms. Presales can offer investors the opportunity to get in early on promising and innovative projects, and potentially reap huge profits when the tokens go live. However, presales also carry a lot of risk, as there is no guarantee that the projects will deliver on their promises, or that the tokens will have enough demand or liquidity once they are launched. Therefore, investors should always do their own research and analysis before participating in any presale.
