Floki whipsaws 14% on Coinbase listing

Coinbase meme coin Floki to its listing roadmap two days after announcing PEPE trading on the largest U.S. centralized crypto exchange.

Floki (FLOKI) surged over 21% in one hour as Coinbase posted about upcoming trading support for the $2.7 billion meme coin. The timing of the news coincided with a market-wide recovery, bolstering FLOKIs price hike.

It‘s the second time Coinbase has added crypto’s older meme tokens. On Nov. 13, the exchange listed Pepe-The-Frog-inspired (PEPE). Data showed that PEPE reached a new all-time high shortly after.

Social media users speculated that a relaxed regulatory environment under President Donald Trumps administration steered crypto businesses toward more expansive decisions.

Robinhood U.S. also listed PEPE alongside Coinbase. Binance has listed several meme coins, although some of its choices were deemed contentious.
