Popular meme coin Popcat ($POPCAT) has just hit a $1 billion market cap in the midst of a rally that has added 59% its price over the last two weeks.
According to the data, Popcat is currently trading at $1.04, which spells all round gains for recent buyers after the token rose about 3% in the last 24 hours and about 17% over the last week.
