Dogwifhat (WIF) recently dethroned frog-themed Pepe (PEPE) to become the third largest meme coin with a market cap of over $4 billion.
And Dogecoin20 (DOGE20), a dog-themed derivative of DOGE, exploded in pre-sales, raising more than $10 million in less than two weeks. The development team has extended the pre-sale until the launch on International DOGE Day on April 20.
