WATER Memecoin Surges 200% After Ronaldinho, Messi Promotions
The WATER token, which claims to be developed in partnership with the creators of the BEER memecoin, has seen a surge of over 200% in the past 24 hours, according to data from CoinGecko. It is currently tradable on exchanges such as Bitget, BitMart, and MEXC.
