According to the latest research by coingecko identifying top countries leading the craze for meme coins in 2023, shows that among the top 10 countries only two African countries featured, with Nigeria leading at 5th position, while Morocco stood at 10th.
Nigeria’s meme coin interest has a relatively different profile than the other 8 countries. Floki and ArbDoge AI captured the highest interest at 24.2% and 20.8% respectively. Dogelon Mars generated 17.4% of Nigeria’s interest in meme coins, despite receiving limited interest share elsewhere.
This suggests that people in Nigeria are also keeping an eye on the less well-known meme coins, instead of aping into those that are already trending.
On the other hand, pioneer Dogecoin generated 61.1% of Morocco’s interest in meme coins, but received only minor interest among the rest of the countries.
The top ten countries are; 1) USA. 2). India. 3) United Kingdom. 4) Philippines. 5) Nigeria. 6) Australia. 7) New Zealand. 8) Canada. 9) Malaysia and 10) Morocco.
The US is unsurprisingly leading the meme coin craze, accounting for 23.6% of the interest in 2023 so far with over 2 million views of the top meme coin pages.
