Cat-Themed Meme Coin MEW/USD Emerges as Market's Best Performer Tuesday

MEW/USD popped 20% in the last 24 hours, helping investors recoup significant losses incurred over the weekend.

Cat-themed meme coin MEW/USD emerged as the market's best-performing cryptocurrency Tuesday, even as the heavyweights remained restrained.

What Happened: The Solana SOL/USD-based currency popped 20% in the last 24 hours, helping investors recoup significant losses incurred over the weekend.

The memecoin soared 81% in July before taking a U-turn in the first week of August. With the latest reversal, MEW's monthly gains improved to 57%.

The relief rally outshone blue-chip currencies like Bitcoin BTC/USD and Ethereum ETH/USD, while also bettering meme giants like Dogecoin DOGE/USD and Shiba Inu SHIB/USD.

Other Solana-based meme tokens such as dogwifhat WIF and Bonk BONK/USD also recovered, rising 10.94% and 7.92%, respectively.

Meanwhile, the Cryptocurrency Fear & Greed Index improved from "Extreme Fear" to "Fear" Tuesday, as the market bellwether, Bitcoin rebounded from its Monday crash.

Price Action: At the time of writing, MEW was trading at 0.005992, jumping 20% in the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap.
