Joke MEME coin airdrop is now worth $600K

The MEME crypto asset has blasted into new all-time highs of $1,775 after being listed on Poloniex. MEME, a community-driven project inspired by a ConsenSys developer’s satire of the yield farming bubble, has gained nearly 100% in 24-hours to post an all-time high of $1,775 after listing on Poloniex. Since the start of September, MEME has gained more than 900%, despite its supporters promoting the project through the slogan ‘don’t buy MEME.’ MEME is currently the 254th-ranked crypto asset with a $48 million market cap, with more than $17 million worth of MEME changing hands in the past 24 hours. MEME/USD: CoinGeckoThe project’s unlikely rise began when ConsenSys’ DeFi product lead Jordan Lyall created a mock-advertisement for a yield farming protocol generator dubbed ‘The Degenerator.’ Within hours of the post circulating across crypto-Twitter, someone had created an ERC-20 under the same name, and listed it on Uniswap under the ticker ‘MEME.’ The 28,000 token supply was distributed via airdrop in batches of 250 to Telegram users within 30 minutes of the token’s creation. The project now comprises an “experimental protocol” that “mash[es] up some of the most exciting innovations in DeFi” by offering yield farming rewards in the form of meme-inspired non-fungible token collectibles. 11 days ago the Meme Team was born just minutes after my degenerator tweet mocked YOLO DeFi developmentNow: against all odds, and irony, it's a passionate community experimenting with DeFi and artMeme is an NFT farming protocolThe LP Pool is live!https://t.co/etBA1cmr1P pic.twitter.com/5v9dt2jc2t— Jordan Lyall (@JordanLyall) August 26, 2020 Poloniex is the sixth exchange to list the token, following Uniswap, Balancer, 1inch, Hoo, Mooniswap.

Derivatives Traders May Have Manipulated COMP Rally

Some analysts believe that Compound’s Governance Token’s dramatic rally and crash may have been engineered by derivatives traders. A number of analysts have suggested the meteoric price performance of the Compound Governance Token (COMP) may have been orchestrated using derivatives. After initially changing hands for approximately $80 each upon its June 18 listing on Poloniex, COMP quickly rallied 500% to post highs above $380 June 21 as news of a Coinbase listing appeared to entice buyers. COMP/USDT on Poloniex, 1hr chart: TradingView Since the high, COMP has shed 34% of its value and is currently trading for $253.  Was COMP’s rally driven by organic demand? In a June 25 article, independent crypto blogger and Decentraland product lead Tony Sheng noted that many traders over the past week or so believed that triple-figure priced COMP was extremely overvalued, resulting in bears paying from 5% to 10% in daily fees to short the asset using derivatives. Despite this bearish sentiment and the fact that COMP tokens can be earned through yield farming, COMP prices continued to rally aggressively, with Sheng suggesting that disproportionate volume on FTX’s derivatives largely fuelled the rally. While spot listings on FTX and Poloniex generated $1.5 million in 24-hour volume leading up to COMP’s Coinbase listing, more than $6 million worth of perpetual swap contracts were traded on FTX over the same period. With COMP comprising a highly illiquid market upon launch, the article suggests that traders may have been able to drive up spot prices with relatively small buy orders to ensure profits on much larger long positions taken using FTX’s contracts: “The long and short of it (haha) is that because of the relatively large size of the COMP Perpetual Swap market, it would be profitable to buy the Perp and then buy spot in significant enough size to move the price, amplifying gains in the Perp and squeezing the shorts.” On June 24, the fou
