A viral video of the Charging Bull statue wearing a knitted hat caused a social media frenzy and led to a surge of the memecoin Dogwifhat, rising 17% to around $0.25. The event saw people taking pictures with the hat-wearing bull and brought attention to the memecoin as a potential long-term rival to Dogecoin and Shiba Inu.
The news prompted Dogwifhat to surge 25% and the event has been viewed as another sign of cryptocurrency culture seeping into the mainstream, with memecoins at the forefront.

The publicity stunt caught the attention of industry commentators and led to lively discussions on social media, with some finding the marketing campaign impressive and others acknowledging its potential impact on the traditional finance world.
