Biotech firm Colossal Biosciences has made headlines by reviving the extinct Dire Wolf species, gone for over 12,000 years. Using ancient DNA, cloning, and gene editing on gray wolves, the firm successfully brought back two pups—Remus and Romulus—hailed as the world’s first de-extinct animals.
Dire Wolves Revived: $REMUS Meme Coin Explodes 5,665% Amid De-Extinction Hype
Riding this scientific breakthrough, crypto enthusiasts launched $REMUS, a Solana-based memecoin on Pump.fun, sparking instant frenzy. Within hours, $REMUS skyrocketed 5,665%, reaching a 24-hour trading volume of $39.58 million and a market cap of $8.9 million.
Related meme coins like $ROMULUS and $KHALEESI also surged by 50% and 236% respectively, as multiple wallets rapidly grew in value.
However, concerns of a pump-and-dump scheme surfaced as $REMUS plunged 32.89% from its ATH of $0.01366 to $0.009028, leaving investors wary.
While the biotech world celebrates a scientific milestone, the crypto market proves once again how fast hype can fuel—and drain—memecoin gains.
