Author: Aniket Verma | July 16, 2024 11:54pm

Cryptocurrencies linked to legendary trader “Roaring Kitty" surged higher Tuesday on high short interest in meme stock, GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME).

What Happened: GameStop (CRYPTO: GME), the Solana (CRYPTO: SOL)-based meme coin that pays tribute to the historic 2021 short squeeze, jumped 10% in the last 24 hours. 

Additionally, Kitty AI (CRYPTO: KITTY) shot up 25%, with a 10% jump in 24-hour trading volumes. 

Both of these memecoins have no fundamental ties to GameStop or Roaring Kitty but are just playing on the speculations of a short squeeze of the meme stock and a possible repetition of the 2021 event.
