Floki’s [FLOKI] score on the popularity metric has been high in recent weeks and the buzz has refused to taper down. The third largest meme coin by market capitalization exploded by more than 500% in the year-to-date period, data from CoinMarketCap revealed.
It grew by more than 10% over the last week while most other altcoins shed value in the same period. Shiba Inu [SHIB], the senior member in the memecoin landscape, dropped by nearly 7% in the last week.
While FLOKI has grown impressively, its current market cap is still a fraction of what SHIB enjoys.

FLOKI burst onto the scene after Elon Musk tweeted that his Shiba Inu dog, would be named Floki.
What sets FLOKI apart from its competition is that it intends to combine the power of memes with the utility to drive mainstream adoption of the coin.
The Floki ecosystem will be powered by utility tools such as Valhalla – an NFT metaverse game, FlokiFi- a protocol comprising of several decentralized finance (DeFi) products, an NFT marketplace called FlokiPlaces and a crypto education platform, Floki University.
FLOKI became the most popular cryptocurrency in the last week as per a list by Binance. However, SHIB flipped it to occupy the numero uno position at the time of writing.
This indicated that despite all the hype around FLOKI, the senior meme coin’s popularity was intact.
Most of FLOKI’s on-chain metrics recorded a sharp jump in the month of February. The daily active addresses spiked while the network growth indicated that new addresses found FLOKI appealing.
