Cat-themed Popcat followed suit, gaining more than 15% to set a new all-time high. The cryptocurrency surged more than 40% in the last week and has been the market’s top gainer this year, with a staggering 15398% increase.

| Popcat (POPCAT) | +15.61% | $1.41 |

Blue-chip coins like Dogecoin DOGE/USD and Shiba Inu SHIB/USD surged 4.47% and 6.63%, respectively, as the overall meme coin market capitalization spiked more than 9% in the last 24 hours.
Why It Matters: The jump followed a broader market rally that saw bellwethers like Bitcoin BTC/USD and Ethereum ETH/USD make significant advances overnight.
The optimism could be attributable to Friday’s better-than-expected jobs report, indicating a healthy economy and allaying fears of a recession.
