An Instagram story from singer Ariana Grande ended up in an 18% leap performed by Solana-based meme coin Michi (MICHI) in less than one hour. The price growth happened after known Solana bull Ansem shared Grande’s post showing the cat that illustrates MICHI using a costume worn by the singer.

The publication was enough to skyrocket MICHI’s price, followed by a quick correction. Nevertheless, the token is still up by 9% in the last 24 hours, according to data aggregator CoinGecko.

MICHI is one of the 15 meme coins issued on Solana that boast a market cap of over $100 million, and one of the top three gainers in the last 24 hours within this category. The cat-themed token is currently bested only by Beercoin (BEER) and Ponke (PONKE), which has risen 12.3% and 18.4% in the period.

Notably, four of the five crypto categories with the highest daily returns are related to meme coins. Base meme coins are up nearly 14% boosted by the frog-themed coin Roxy Frog (ROXY), which also boosted the 6.7% rise seen in the frog-themed meme coins category.

The Base meme coin ecosystem was also responsible for the good performance registered by cat-themed coins, as the token Poncho (PONCHO) shot up by almost 67% in the last 24 hours. Solana-based meme coins wrapped up the group with a 5.4% growth in the period.

Meta to end third-party fact-checking in U.S. on April 7

Share link:In this post: Meta will shut down its U.S. third-party fact-checking program on April 7, 2025, ending partnerships with groups like PolitiFact. It will be replaced by Community Notes, a system that lets users add context to posts without triggering penalties. Zuckerberg criticized the old system as biased and overly censorious, and said the change aims to support free speech. Meta is also relocating its moderation teams to Texas, a move some experts say is politically motivated.
