The spike appears to have been limited to just Bybit.

Dogwifhat is a memecoin featuring the image of a dog wearing a hat. It gained popularity during the latest memecoin trading frenzy, which saw tokens like Pepe, Bonk and Book of Meme make significant gains over the last few months. Dogwifhat specifically saw strong support from popular traders such as Hsaka, who has more than half a million followers and key influencers like Ansem.

Supporters of dogwifhat also raised $700,000 to display the token's image on the Las Vegas sphere for a week. It's unclear when or if this will go ahead.
