Meme coins have been dominating the cryptocurrency space for a while now. Several assets like Shiba Inu (SHIB), Dogecoin (DOGE), and PEPE have been part of the top 20 throughout the year. DOGE has particularly been at the top with its latest price action as well. It seems like the overall community has been inclined towards the meme coin market. A recent study by Binance, a cryptocurrency exchange, highlights this growth. Over 27,000 users from Asia, Australia, Europe, Africa, and Latin America were sampled for the survey.
