LAGOS (CoinChapter.com) — Floki Inu (FLOKI) a dog-themed meme multi-chain coin that runs on both the Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain (BSC) blockchains is today’s biggest gainer after it’s price rallying by almost 18% in the last 24 hours.
In detail, the meme coin which is popularly referred to as Shiba Inu’s rival skyrocketed after it was listed on OKX crypto exchange. Following the listing, FLOKI Inu’s price rallied to a 30-day high of $0.00001089, according to data from Coingecko.
Notably, the meme coin stood out on the day while the entire crypto market cap plunged almost 5% to $885 billion. FLOKI’s market cap also gained more than $18 million in the last 24 hours. At the time of publication, the meme coin has a circulating supply of 9.3 trillion FLOKI coins and a total supply of 10 trillion.
Meanwhile, Floki Inu via its announcement disclosed that the new listing will boost the utility of the meme token. It indicated that OKX currently boasts of more than 20 million users in over a hundred countries which will invariably boost its adoption.
