Key Insights

  • Memecoins are currently consolidating in wait for a bigger price resurgence.
  • Some of the biggest movers on this list include Pepe, Bonk and Fartcoin.
  • Pepe recently displaced Uniswap to become the 20th largest cryptocurrency on the market, and could be ready for a 2,500% surge.
  • Bonk displaced Optimism to become the 50th largest cryptocurrency by market cap.
  • Fartcoin needs to hold on to its momentum to join other big players in the $2 billion market cap range.

Memecoins are at an amazing juncture at this point, with mindshare levels at their lowest since April 2024. But, what does this mean for investors dabbling in memecoins?

So far, market dynamics have rotated strongly—and while the slowdown has scared certain investors away, this development has created opportunities for savvy investors to catch the next wave of explosive growth.

Some of the most talked about contenders so far are $PEPE, $BONK and the newly launched Solana memecoin called “Fartcoin”. Here’s a detailed look at what’s been up, and what to expect going forward.

Can PEPE Repeat Its 2,500% Growth?

PEPE, the third-largest memecoin by market capitalization, has held on to its relevance despite the market’s general changes.

After making a high of $0.000028 on 9 December (following in Bitcoin’s footsteps), Pepe is holding on to the $0.000021 price level with a YTD gain of over 1,600%.

This memecoin is even outperforming SHIB and DOGE, its main rivals with 100% and 323% increases respectively.

Pepe’s performance despite the general market’s downturn has solidified its position as a top-20 cryptocurrency, edging out Uniswap after months as the 21st largest.

Analysts generally believe that Pepe is poised for another massive rally to the upside, including an incoming 2,500% surge that could even rival its 2021 performance.

Interestingly, this kind of price movement would push PEPE upwards to around $0.00056 in price.

At press time, Pepe currently trades at around $0.00002119 with a 3.65% increase on the daily timeframe.

The memecoin could leverage its strong community and market presence over the next few months, to enter another historic run.

Bonk Climbs Up The Ladder

Another Solana based memecoin, Bonk has been a major source of speculation for the the crypto community since its creation. This memecoin, which was launched to decentralize Solana ownership, has quickly become a fan favorite—and it isn’t done yet.

Back in mid-2024, the memecoin saw a 291% surge that launched it straight up to a new high of $0.0000045. This rally was fueled by the launch of its native DEX, Bonkswap.

Per recent reports, BONK has hit a $2.64 billion market cap, edging out Optimism to be one of the top 50 cryptocurrencies by market cap.

Analysts generally believe that BONK’s integration with the broader Solana ecosystem will determine its success in 2025.  If Solana continues to grow at this rate, BONK could regain momentum in the memecoin sector, and the general crypto market. 

The memecoin currently trades at around $0.00003081 with its future hinging on continued innovation within the crypto space.

Fartcoin Breaking Records

Solana-based memecoins seem to be making all the waves this time around, with Fartcoin taking the market by storm since its launch. The memecoin originated from the AI bot, Truth Terminal and has seen an extraordinary rise towards the $1.5 billion market cap in just two months after launch.

According to data from CoinMarketCap, the memecoin’s price surged by 9% to $1.5 in the 24 hours between 3 — 4 January. This upsurge stands as a 44% weekly gain, with the token skyrocketing by 600% in the past month.

So far, CoinMarketCap data shows that Fartcoin is the fifth largest memecoin on the Solana network.

This memecoin now trades only behind Bonk, ai16z, Pudgy Penguins, and Dogwifhat in market cap. It is also second among AI-themed memecoins, and trails only behind AI16Z which recently surpassed a $2 billion valuation.

Overall, the rise of Fartcoin comes amid a broader surge in AI-themed tokens. So far, the niche sector’s market value has exceeded $10 billion, with other tokens like AI16Z, Zerebro, and Freysa AI posting incredible gains within the same timeframe. If this bullish momentum persists, Fartcoin could soon join AI16Z in the $2 billion club.
