MemeCore’s latest hard fork is having an immediate market impact, helping lift the Layer 1’s native M token above $2.60, up 11% over the past 24 hours, after the network rolled out lower gas fees and faster transactions.
The move stands out against a weaker broader backdrop. The wider market is down 2.4% after President Trump’s latest comments on the Iran conflict, with most analysts now expecting the war to continue beyond the two-to-three-week timeline Trump outlined.
That combination of crypto-specific catalysts and macro pressure is also keeping investor interest fixed on presales that offer scheduled pricing steps before exchange listing. One project drawing attention is Maxi Doge (MAXI), which has raised $4.72 million and is nearing the $5 million mark.
MemeCore’s recent hard fork reduced transaction costs and improved throughput, and the market response has been decisive. M is now up by more than 80% month on month, with on-chain data showing continued growth in daily active addresses and sustained transaction volume.
Those figures suggest activity is not being driven solely by speculative interest. Users are continuing to transact on the meme-focused Layer 1, reinforcing the argument that technical improvements are feeding into actual network usage.
The team also kept community engagement high this week through April Fools Day marketing posts, maintaining visibility during a turbulent session for risk assets.
Analyst Celal Kucuker, meanwhile, pointed to potential upside across the meme coin segment, arguing that Dogecoin could reach as high as $1.70 by December.

Because DOGE often leads moves across the broader meme coin complex, a stronger Dogecoin trend would likely spill over into adjacent names, particularly dog-themed tokens. That is part of the backdrop supporting interest in Maxi Doge (MAXI) even as macro conditions remain unstable.
Maxi Doge Nears $5 Million as Next Presale Price Step Approaches
The team behind Maxi Doge (MAXI) has positioned the token around a high-risk, high-energy meme trading identity, built around a muscular Shiba Inu mascot and “1000x leverage” branding. So far, the presale has brought in $4.72 million, with MAXI priced at $0.0002811 and sitting only a few hundred thousand dollars short of the $5 million threshold.
The next presale price increase is scheduled for later today. The project is also offering live staking, with rewards of up to 66% APY, while its post-launch plans include trading competitions, ROI-based contests, and community events aimed at sustaining engagement.
Its Maxi Fund allocates 25% of token supply to liquidity provision, strategic partnerships, and marketing. According to the roadmap, the project is also targeting futures exchange integrations and broader ecosystem expansion.
