Meme coins – already a big deal in 2025.
That’s right – the “Year of the Meme Coin” title for 2024 is likely to carry over into 2025 if current markets have anything to say about it.
A quick look at the meme coin market shows a heavy preponderance of green almost everywhere.
Blue-chip memes are on the rise, including $PEPE (12% in the last week), SHIB (2.5%) and even meme coin leader $DOGE (5.2%).
Lesser-known tokens are also gaining in importance.
We are here with a short list of tokens that are making a splash. In our opinion, these are the best meme coins to buy now as the market recovers.
Let’s go!
Fartcoin – Terrible name, great performance (502% in 30 days)
It has a hilarious, strange and terrible name.
Despite this, Fartcoin is up 3.5% in the last day and almost 30% in the last week. Moving averages strongly suggest “Buy” and the name itself guarantees marketability.
It’s a light-hearted, humorous meme coin that’s making waves.
Solaxy – Solana Layer 2 upgrade ready to launch
Solaxy ($SOLX) is the gateway to the Solana upgrade you’ve always wanted.
Solaxy, a Layer 2 solution on the Solana blockchain, offers even faster transaction speeds with few to no failed transactions. It offers a powerful upgrade to a fast-growing and popular blockchain.
Currently, SOLX is in pre-sales where over $8 million has been raised. The current token price is $0.001588 and will gradually increase throughout the presale.
Brett – Average name with a market cap of $1.3 billion
Unlike Fartcoin, the name of $BRETT… is actually a bit boring.
However, the token’s performance has been anything but good. Brett’s market cap peaked at over $2 billion in early December 2024, so there is still room for growth to reach these previous heights again.
And as the broader meme coin market continues to take off, Brett is an attractive play. Despite falling over the last month, Brett is still up 243% since its launch.
Pepe – The OG Green Frog continues to pay off
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and Pepe creates new imitators every day. Some of these are meme coins in their own right – we’ll discuss one of them in a moment.
But in the meantime, $PEPE is enjoying a great start to the new year. It is up 13.79% in the past week, with overwhelmingly positive sentiment in the community.
And while sentiment itself is not a technical indicator, these are meme coins! Feeling is everything!
This partly explains why Pepe remains the #3 meme coin by market cap and has cracked the top 20 by market cap among all cryptos.
Wall Street Pepe – Pepe Meme, Wall Street expert with $40 million in presale (so far)
Wall Street Pepe’s ($WEPE) appeal is right there in the slogan: Act like Pepe, buy Wepe.
It’s another Pepe impersonator, but $WEPE is more than just another green frog. Few of them can claim $40 million in ongoing presales.
Wall Street Pepe offers a dedicated community of meme coin enthusiasts and investors who enjoy sharing information and profiting from the best trades. Everything is united in the $WEPE token, a worthy challenger for the crown of $PEPE.
Meme Index – A TradFi tool comes to the meme market
Everyone knows stock market indices. Soon you will hear about the Meme Index ($MEMEX).
$MEMEX is planning an offering Four indices that reflect different sectors of the $104 billion meme coin market. The risk-graded Titan, Moonshot, Midcap and Frenzy indices offer MEMEX holders access to traditional investment vehicles designed specifically for meme coins.
The Meme Index project is currently in pre-sales and has raised $1.6 million so far. The token price is $0.0148639 and is expected to increase in the next phase.
Meme Coins: So hot right now
Meme coins had a standout year in 2024, especially in the last quarter, as $BTC and blue-chip Altcoins like $ETH on the way to the moon.
But in an increasingly online world, meme coins are unlikely to go away anytime soon.
Do your own research – always! – but don’t miss these six meme coins making waves this week.
