Should you invest in meme coins? Crypto educator Gopal Dutt Vashisht guides you through the decision to invest in Crypto Academy episode 3
According to data from the global crypto data platform CoinMarketCap, these meme coins collectively accounted for approximately half of the total trading value, which amounted to $113 million, on the top three Indian crypto exchanges within a 24-hour period ending at 7 pm on March 5th, 2024. This surge in trading activity is notable, considering that prior to this uptick, these ‘penny-stock-like’, highly volatile coins held around a 30% share in the overall value of crypto trades in India. The sudden spike in trading activity commenced on March 3rd 2024, indicating a renewed interest among investors in these speculative assets. Meme coins, characterised by their whimsical origins and erratic price movements, have attracted a significant portion of the trading volume on Indian exchanges, highlighting the growing appetite for high-risk, high-reward investments in the cryptocurrency space.

NEW DELHI : Chocolates could get more expensive, smaller (although perhaps not noticeably, a typical shrinkflation trait), or simply have less cocoa in them in a few months if cocoa prices aren’t tamed by then. These are the primary options chocolate and candy makers as well as those selling cookies and ice creams are weighing after global cocoa prices touched record highs earlier this week. India imports a significant volume of the primary ingredient that goes into making chocolates.
