A compilation of insane pumps that happened during the last bull run in 2021

"Dream bigger"

With the $ETH ETF approved, animal spirits could be coming back quickly into crypto markets.

Maybe it’s time to rewire your brain for a proper bull run alt season… I wrote a thread about some of the insanity we saw in 2021 during the previous cycle, and I decided to make it into an article too :

• $DOGE went up close to 10x in a day in January 2021 while it was already a billion-dollar coin.

• $RUNE market cap went from $200M to almost $5bn in 5 months.

• $FIL reached at some point a FDV close to $400bn. Yes, $400bn lmao. That’s almost the current market cap of $ETH.

• $DOT was already a $5bn market cap coin very early in the bull run, in December 2020. It still managed to go up 8x in 2 months Jan-Feb 2021, and it reached a huge top market cap of $56bn.

• $AXS market cap went from $200M to $10bn in 5 months. Its FDV was $43bn at the top.

• $ICP launched at a $250bn FDV. High FDV is not exactly a new thing. And things can get so much more stupid that now.

• Do you know about a coin called Telcoin (ticker $TEL) ? Maybe not. And yet, its market cap went from $10M to $3bn (300x) in 5 months during previous cycle.

• $CHZ pumped literally 30X in one month, going from a $130M to a $4bn market cap. (And obviously GCR shorted the top.)

• $BNB was already worth $6bn in early 2021. In the current market, this almost puts a coin in the top 20, just so that you realize. But then $BNB managed to have an 8x pump in 20 days, and reached $50bn market cap in February 2021.

• $FLOW launched at a $10bn FDV. That’s massive, right ? Well it pumped to $57bn FDV in just a few weeks right after launch.

• $GALA market cap reached $5.4bn at its top, while it was a $5M market cap project at the beginning of the year 2021. More than 500x returns for the early holders.

• $SRM reached a top FDV of… $125bn. While its top market cap was around 100x lower, at $1.2bn. $WLD tokenomics are not an entirely new thing…

• $THETA market cap went from $1bn to $13bn in 3 months.

• $VET sounds like a somewhat forgotten dino coin now, right ? Its market cap went from $600M in November 2020 to $17bn in April 2021. That’s a 25x in a few months.

• Exact same story for $ETC : $600M -> $17bn in 5 months. Notice how parabolic the last push up is ?

• $SHIB went from $4bn to $40bn MC in less than a month. Before that, it basically spent 4 months flat ranging between $3bn and $4bn market cap. The final leg for memecoins is VERTICAL and BRUTAL.

• $HOT : that’s probably a coin that you don’t even remember exists. And yet, it was worth $5bn at some point after a literal 35x pump in 2 months. (This means that it was worth $100M when $BTC broke its previous $20k ATH in December 2020).

• When 2021 began, $CAKE market cap was around $50M. 4 months later, it reached almost $7bn, a 70x increase in price for the early longers.
