• Two new tokens—Pixelverse and Poodlana—launched this week, with both new entrants enjoying massive inflows and crazy virality in the crypto space.
• Pixelverse’s PIXFI is up by 200% in 24 hours at press time, whereas Poodlana’s POODL token has raised an incredible $1.3 million in under 48 hours. While PIXFI is seeing large search volumes in the West, it’s Poodlana that is alerting investors in the “meme coin mecca” of Asia, and a storm of virality in the East appears to be going global.

Mid-week madness

10% of the PIXFI supply was aidropped to Pixelverse NFT holders yesterday, 18th July, synchronized with listings on exchanges such as Bybit and MEXC. This led to an initial surge of around 50%, which has matured into a 3x pump within 24 hours.

Pixelverse is a TON-based gaming and NFT platform, straddling the GameFi and SocialFi sectors with a full-fledged browser game as well as a Telegram minigame. The recent announcement of a collaboration with NFT titans Pudgy Penguins has been a further cause for celebration and has likely been a factor in the new PIXFI token pumping.

Meanwhile, Poodlana launched 17th July, hitting the $1 million mark in the first day of its presale, and shows no signs of slowing. The “Hermès of Crypto” is a fashion-focused meme coin stealing the hearts of stylish, poodle-loving crypto traders across Asia, where the vast majority of meme token trading occurs.

New dog, new direction

Poodlana whipped up a media frenzy even before launching, with analysts noting that POODL is the first poodle-themed dog coin, seeing it as a much needed divergence from the tired trend of doge derivatives. Poodles are the dog to have across many Asian countries, and capitalizing on this real-world trend has clearly been a shrewd move from the Poodlana team.

The POODL presale runs for just 30 days in total, ending on 16th August and is followed by a guaranteed top Solana DEX listing within 60 minutes of presale completion. Expect virality to grow as word of Asia’s piqued interest reaches mainstream audiences in the West, a trend that has led to monumental pumps for Asia-first coins like Chuan Pu, which soared by 40,000% after a strong start in China.

PIXFI vs. POODL: Top picks for profit potential

Pixelverse and Poodlana set the market alight this week within hours of launching, and investors are unsurprisingly swarming the market to secure bags of both tokens, but Poodlana edges it in terms of which coin could deliver the greatest returns.

PIXFI has charted an impressive rally on day one, but equally, it could suffer the fate of many launch-and-fly tokens, dumping immediately after a pump if it’s unable to sustain momentum. With exchange listings already priced in, it remains to be seen whether Pixelverse has the fuel to keep flying.

Poodlana, on the other hand, offers a rare opportunity. The interest is clearly there based on the amount raised already, and there seems to be plenty more in the tank: the project’s “Crypto Fashion Month” program runs throughout the presale, and is likely to pull in hordes of A-list investors with its run of exclusive AMAs, glamorous giveaways, and more.

Plus, POODL is still in presale. This means two things: POODL is available at a discount—it’s currently priced at just $0.02—and it has the chance to build momentum before it lists on exchanges. If inflows are this high already, an enormous pump could take place once DEX trading gets underway in August.
