São Paulo, June 14, 2025 – Even with the crypto market in retreat and rising tensions in the Middle East, a little-known memecoin surprised investors by recording a gain of +1,200% in just a few hours.
The movement occurred in a scenario of strong risk aversion. The total market value of cryptocurrencies fell to US$ 3.37 trillion (a decrease of 1.8% in the last 24 hours), reflecting the impact of the global geopolitical climate. Bitcoin (BTC), in turn, was traded close to US$ 104,665, with a daily drop of 0.6%, while its market dominance fell to 61.7%.
Despite the negative tide for most altcoins, some alternative cryptos — especially memecoins — recorded three-digit gains, defying the general market trend.
🌍 Geopolitics and global tension
The decline of BTC mirrors the negative performance of major global indices, such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, pressured by the possibility of escalating conflicts between Israel and Iran. The maximum alert issued by U.S. military and diplomatic agencies, along with the evacuation of embassies in the region, heightened market tensions and pushed up oil prices — a classic catalyst for inflation and capital flight.
This combination of factors triggered a migration of investors to safer assets, directly affecting volatile markets such as cryptocurrencies.
🚨 Opportunity or trap?
The explosive rise of the memecoin reignites the debate about the risks and opportunities that this type of asset presents. While Bitcoin has only accumulated +16% this year, memecoins continue to show extreme appreciation potential — but with very high risk.
Experts recommend caution: despite the stories of quick profit, these coins tend to suffer equally aggressive declines. Investors should operate with controlled capital and be attentive to liquidity and the legitimacy of the projects.
