February 14th, per GMGN data (link: https://gmgn.ai/sol/token/i_m4TE56o8_3B1ijcocM5EDga6XxQ7JLW7weocQPWWjuhBYG8Vepump), Solana meme coin BP (Barking Puppy) has continued to climb in market cap today, peaking at $14.9 million before stabilizing at $11 million. Its current price sits at ~$0.011, marking a 160% surge over the past 24 hours. The meme coin’s narrative ties to a dog-themed twist on Keith Gill’s YouTube alias “Roaring Kitty”—and it’s reportedly launched by his brother Kevin Gill (X handle: @BPuppy80020).
