Little Puff crypto hits $13M market cap after 300% surge — what’s behind it?

Little Puff, a Solana memecoin inspired by TikTok’s most-followed cat, has surged nearly 300% since launch and now boasts a market cap of over $13 million three weeks after minting.

That Little Puff (PUFF), a new cat-themed memecoin launched on Solana (SOL) memecoin launchpad Pump.fun, has gained massive traction in recent days, rising around 60% from its May 20 low of $0.01097 to a recent high of $0.01773.

According to Solscan, PUFF (5241BV…onkJZP) was minted on April 28, making it just over three weeks old. The memecoin currently has a market cap of just over $13 million, with a circulating supply nearing 1 billion tokens. It has over 5,300 on-chain holders, and trading activity has surpassed 100,000 transfers since launch.

Since launch, PUFF price has also gained almost 300%, rising from $0.000006 to $0.01773 at its peak today, though it has since retraced to $0.01308. The price remains above key short-term moving averages, including its 10-day, 30-day, and 60-day moving averages on the 4-hour chart. This suggests continued bullish sentiment, although recent price action also points to short-term volatility as the Solana memecoin consolidates after its recent run-up.
