GameStop memecoin experiences record volume amid 300% surge

Gamestop memecoin has spiked yet again, bringing significant gains to its holders. 

Gamestop’s memecoin volume crosses $490 million, here is why
  • GME started the month with an over 300% spike in value.
  • The volume has set another ATH record.

U.S. financial analyst Keith Gill’s actions once again stirred the market, triggering another surge in the GameStop memecoin. This surge followed a similar rise in the stock equivalent after Gill reactivated his account on Reddit.

GameStop memecoin resurgence

On 3rd June, the value of GameStop memecoin soared by over 300%. This surge was attributed to posts by Keith Gill, also known as Roaring Kitty, on X and Reddit.

Gill’s account posted a reverse UNO card on X, which sparked various interpretations. 

Meanwhile, on Reddit, the investor shared details of his GME stock holdings and options. Before this, Gill had been inactive on X for over two weeks and on Reddit for over three years.

Gill’s post also led to a surge in GameStop’s stock price. This isn’t the first time his social media activity has caused such reactions. In May, a post on X after years of absence stirred speculation, resulting in a significant surge in the GME memecoin’s value.
