If You Missed BONK and PEPE This Year, This Viral New Crypto Might Be Your Salvation
Bonk and Pepe appear set to net new investors 10x to 100x returns over the next 12 months. However, cryptocurrencies in the DeFi play-to-earn gaming sector could offer even greater returns. As August approaches, Rollblock is emerging as a standout DeFi play-to-earn gem with the potential to 100x-1000x gains in the fourth quarter and beyond.
The project features an innovative revenue sharing model and exceptional accessibility, attracting players and investors. Additionally, Rollblock’s extensive game library of over 150 titles and enhanced sports betting are further driving excitement for the platform. Cryptocurrency analysts are expecting a sudden surge in demand. 800% a push for Rollblock from the beginning of September.
Bonk remains strong despite market fluctuations
While most well-known cryptocurrencies struggled throughout July, Bonk remained strong. As one of the highest-grossing meme cryptocurrencies of 2024, Bonk rose over 24% in July, while most cryptocurrencies experienced negative fluctuations.
Investors looking to add a relatively safe memecoin to their portfolio should consider Bonk. While Bonk is unlikely to generate explosive gains of 250x to 1,000x from here on out, Bonk could still theoretically provide returns in the 20x to 100x range.
Pepe should see a big rise in the next bull run
Alongside Bonk, Pepe has yet to go through a bull run. This means that there are still substantial gains to be made from Pepe over the next 12 months.
Pepe is down 4% in 30 days, but that shouldn’t worry Pepe investors in 2024. Experts believe Pepe’s best days are still ahead, with crypto analysts predicting a 10x to 50x surge in the next election cycle around November.
In the long term, Pepe could surpass the 100x mark for today’s investors. However, Pepe is a memecoin, and one should exercise caution when investing in purely speculative assets that have no utility.

Cryptocurrency sector is experiencing ‘most misjudged moment’ since 2020, says venture capitalist Arthur Cheong
Veteran cryptocurrency investor Arthur Cheong believes the digital asset sector offers long-term holders a golden opportunity.
Cheong, the founder of DeFiance Capital, tell His 171,700 followers on social media platform X indicate that he believes decentralized finance (DeFi) is hugely undervalued.
According to Cheong, DeFi projects are innovating at a rapid pace and leaving traditional financial (TradFi) companies in the dust.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been this excited about the risk/reward and potential upside of DeFi. This is probably the most misjudged moment since the pre-DeFi summer of 2020, with extremely promising prospects.
I see opportunities not only in OG (original) DeFi, but also in some newer projects that are evolving rapidly and growing at a pace that fintech startups will do anything to match.
The veteran investor also believes that crypto is now here to stay following recent launch from the Ethereum spot market (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) last week.
“Overall, the floodgates are open and there is no turning back. TradFi asset managers will continue to launch new crypto products because, guess what: there is huge demand for them!”
I expect them to launch actively managed crypto ETFs [in the] coming years. ”
Earlier this month, Cheong laid that it might be a bad strategy for cryptocurrencies to seek mass adoption, believing that digital assets are designed to disrupt several key financial sectors.
“I think we should accept that cryptocurrencies may not be suited for mass adoption like Web2, but rather are optimized for some narrow but very high-impact use cases like stateless global money, cross-border payments, and decentralized finance.
Chasing mass adoption of normies may be chasing the wrong Grail from the start.
