Tron CEO Backs Dogecoin, Shiba Inu & Floki

In a post on X, Sun posted a clip from the Token 2049 Dubai conference wherein in speaks in favor of meme coins. In the clip, the Tron founder expresses his fascination with all the meme coins with different animal logos. Moreover, he offered a special mention to Shiba Inu and Floki.

Sun also spotlighted the top meme coins that have attained a huge market valuation of over $10 billion. In addition, he highlighted that this valuation doesn’t make sense to ones who endorse traditional finance.

Justin Sun Bullish On Meme Coins

In addition, the Tron founder expressed his bullish outlook on meme coins. He noted that every bull cycle will have its own meme coin that will outshine others just like Shiba Inu did this time. Sun also jokingly spotlighted the limitation of animal characters to be used.

While sharing the video, Sun captured the essence of it in a short statement. He wrote, “Meme coins may seem unconventional, but they highlight the power of community in crypto. Building a successful project, meme-based or not, takes dedication. Let’s see what the next bull cycle brings!”

However, despite the bullish outlook, these meme coins have been grappling with losses lately. At press time, the Dogecoin price slumped 11.17% to $0.1235 with a market capitalization of $17.79 billion on Wednesday, May 1. Meanwhile, Shiba Inu, also referred to as the Dogecoin Killer, witnessed a 10.87% crash and traded at $0.00002094 with a market cap of $12.34 billion.
