Top Meme Coins Today by Market Cap

Meme coins are cryptocurrencies inspired by internet memes or cultural jokes. They are typically community-driven, highly volatile, and speculative. Meme coins often gain value through hype, social media trends, and viral popularity rather than fundamentals.

Latest Developments

Over the past few months, meme coins have been especially volatile, swinging billions in market cap within days.

At one point in August, the sector hit around $82 billion, but its overall share of the crypto market fell to the lowest level in over a year as traders rotated into Ethereum and other majors.

Popular meme tokens like BONK, PEPE, and WIF have shown just how fast sentiment can change:

BONK saw double-digit drops after a local peak
PEPE slid about 32% from its July highs before bouncing back on optimism around U.S. rate cuts
WIF held steady thanks to visible whale accumulation, showing how large players can support prices

Beyond price action, there’s growing mainstream attention. Safety Shot, a U.S.-listed company, recently bought $25 million worth of BONK — an unusual step that signals corporate interest in meme coins.

At the same time, Grayscale has filed for a Dogecoin ETF, and analysts suggest active meme coin ETFs could emerge as early as 2026.

Ecosystem growth also continues. Base meme coins like BRETT and DEGEN are attracting new users, Binance.US listed 1000MOG to expand access, and Shibarium’s transaction activity, though recently down, remains a sign of developer engagement.

Together, these moves suggest meme coins are gradually building infrastructure and finding new ways to connect with investors.
