- Popcat meme coin rose more than 11% as Kraken announced listing for spot trading on Sept. 19.
- The POPCAT price reached highs of $0.67 and was trading higher at the time of writing.
Solana meme coin Popcat (POPCAT) has traded higher after crypto exchange Kraken announced it would add spot trading support.
The cat-themed meme coin, which also skyrocketed nearly 30% after the world’s largest crypto exchange Binance’s listing of the POPCAT perpetual contract, had notched a double-digit gain at the time of writing on Sept. 12.
After Kraken announced it would add Popcat on September 19, 2024, the price of the meme coin rose from $0.58 to highs of $0.67. CoinGecko data showed the cryptocurrency’s price was up 10% as it hovered above $0.66 at the time of writing.

Popcat is currently listed on Bybit, Gate.io, MEXC, Crypto.com and Kucoin. However, top exchanges Binance and OKX are yet to add spot trading having listed POPCAT futures.
Kraken’s spot trading support is therefore one of the big moves. The token’s price responded upwards as the community cheers another milestone in the quest for more visibility.
SUNDOG and CAT among other surging meme coins
While current price is well above the all-time low of $0.003 reached on January 5, 2024, POPCAT remains more than 35% from its all-time high of $0.99 reached on July 21, 2024. The surge to near the $1 level suggests a rebound for meme coins could see Popcat target this peak.
Some other meme coins that saw upside momentum today include Tron-based Sundog (SUNDOG) and Simon’s CAT (CAT).
The former spiked after a whale withdrew $2 million worth of TRX and used the money to buy SUNDOG. Simon’s CAT, which recently completed its airdrop to Floki holders, rose after Bybit hinted at listing.
