Roaring Kitty's Dog Post On X Doesn't Do Much For Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, But Sends This Cat-Themed Crypto Shooting Up

Author: Aniket Verma | June 28, 2024 12:48am

Cat-themed cryptocurrencies surged Thursday after controversial trader "Roaring Kitty" returned to social media with an intriguing post. 

What Happened: Keith Gill, better known online as “Roaring Kitty,” posted a photo of a cartoonish dog, marking his first post since June 18. The photo shows a dog looking sideways, sticking its tongue out, without any captions. 

As has been the case over the last month-and-a-half, cryptocurrencies with "Kitty" in their names began to surge.

Within minutes of the post, Solana (CRYPTO: SOL)-based Kitty AI spiked 34% to its weekly highs. While profit-taking halted the ascent, the coin still managed to record double-digit gains in the last 24 hours. 

Similarly, Kitty Inu bounced more than 4% in the last 24 hours.

Interestingly, the social post did not provide a significant boost to dog-themed memecoins like Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB), both of which were up just 2.68% and 1.73%, respectively.

Why It Matters: The trader’s social posts have become one of the biggest drivers of stock and cryptocurrency markets lately. 

Famously known for the 2021 short squeeze of GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME), the legendary trader has been posting cryptic images, ranging from a sketched man leaning forward in a chair to the opening scene of Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight.”

These posts have triggered massive spikes in kitty-themed cryptocurrencies and coins linked to GameStop. 

Shares of GameStop closed 3.68% higher at $25.09 during Thursday's trading session, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

His latest dog post also triggered a significant rally in pet stocks, including Chewy, Inc. (NYSE:CHWY) and PetMed Express, Inc. (NASDAQ:PETS).
