It is no secret that the cryptocurrency market loves a memecoin to speculate on for the short term. Now, a new fun token surge in DeFi earning the attention and interest of crypto traders amid an airdrop campaign.
The new memecoin is called HUG, opening its arms to hug-related memes while appealing to love and kindness. Notably, the token “powered by hugs” has gained the attention of large influencers and is yet in its early stages.
In particular, Ivan on Tech (@IvanOnTech, 425,700 followers) recently hosted a HUG airdrop on X (formerly Twitter). The post already had over 1,800 comments with other relevant accounts supporting the recently launched memecoin, campaign, or infrastructure network. For example, Adrian Zduńczyk (@crypto_birb, 650,100 followers).

HUG price analysis
Interestingly, HUG runs on Radix (XRD), part of a DeFi ecosystem that is still growing and maturing. Therefore, the token is not listed on main cryptocurrency exchanges, indexes, and aggregators like Coingecko or CoinMarketCap.
Currently, the only way to acquire this memecoin is through decentralized exchanges using XRD or other Radix-based tokens. This lower accessibility evidences its experimental phase and might impose challenges for new people to join.
In this context, HUG is a low-liquidity and low-cap cryptocurrency with significant risks attached. The memecoin is trading at $0.00001859 by press time, down 18% in the last 24 hours on Ociswap (OCI).
Essentially, the token is close to its all-time high, with less than $1 million market cap and $100,000 liquidity. This means HUG could correct and retrace any time if the sudden interest loses momentum and dies.
However, cryptocurrency traders constantly seek new opportunities on memecoins with appealing and fun narratives. Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Pepe (PEPE), and, recently, Bonk (BONK) each had their moments surpassing the $1 billion capitalization.
It is worth mentioning that there is a constant risk of selling pressure while the memecoin is being airdropped. Early investors or airdrop participants are more inclined to dump their HUG tokens if liquidity increases with more people joining the ecosystem.
All things considered, everything is possible among cryptocurrencies, but the risks are relevant. Speculators must always do their due diligence and apply proper risk management when engaging in a volatile market or assets without a clear demand and fundamentals.
