Amid the crypto market rout, a few coins are towering tall, and two cryptos which are among the biggest gainers, are dog-themed currencies.
What Happened: NinjaFloki (CRYPTO: NJF), a gaming-based passive income-generating crypto, was seen trading with gains close to 500% on Saturday, according to CoinMarketCap. It is a relatively new crypto and was launched in 2021. It is built on the Binance Smart Chain and has a maximum supply of 100 billion NinjaFloki tokens.
Also among the gainers is Mars Floki Inu (CRYPTO: FLOKI), which has advanced over 300% over the past 24 hours. It has a maximum supply of 1,000 trillion FLOKI coins. The crypto is inspired by Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk's pet dog Floki and his quest to take humans to Mars.

Why It's Important: These less popular meme currencies have outperformed their more illustrious meme counterparts such as Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) in the current downturn. However, caution should be the watch word for those investors contemplating to play the volatility in these thinly-traded cryptos.
At last check, NinjaFloki was seen up 487.13% at $0.00004752 and Mars Floki Inu was gaining 321.71% to $0.000000005168.
