top meme coins by market capitalization
Meme coins are cryptocurrencies originating from internet jokes, which have evolved into valid, yet volatile, digital assets. Dogecoin (DOGE), the first meme coin, was created in 2013 as a parody of the surge of new cryptocurrencies. Despite its humorous origins, DOGE quickly gained popularity, increasing its market cap by over 400% shortly after launch. Meme coins have come a long way since then. There are now over 340 meme coins, including popular ones like Shiba Inu and PEPE, and humorously named ones like Useless Ethereum Token and HarryPotterObamaSonicInu.

Top 10 meme coins
Dogecoin
Dogecoin (DOGE) launched in 2013, the brainchild of software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer. The project took after the Shiba inu dog meme, a popular internet meme and parodied Bitcoin, the only notable coin at the time. Dogecoin remained irrelevant for years before gradually rising in the late 2010s and had its breakout moment in 2019 when it appreciated tremendously.
It continued to rise into 2020 with the help of some promotional tweets by Elon Musk. Dogecoin then had periods and corrections but has consolidated its position as one of the most popular cryptocurrencies in history. Today, Dogecoin remains the biggest meme coin, twice the size of its nearest competitor. The DOGE is synonymous with meme coin growth and will likely retain this position for some time.
Shiba Inu
Dogecoin’s success in 2020 inspired the rise of Shiba Inu (SHIB). This project came from the pseudonymous group Ryoshi and sought to challenge DOGE for meme coin supremacy. Shiba Inu takes Dogecoin’s likeness closely, and its name derives from Dogecoin’s meme symbol. Notably, SHIB runs on the Ethereum blockchain.
Shiba Inu rose fast as it rose in a bull market. There was soon chatter about Shiba Inu being the DOGE killer. However, this prediction failed to materialize, and SHIB remains in second position. Shiba Inu sought to pivot in 2023 to introduce some utility to the project and create its unique identity from Dogecoin.
Pepe
Pepe the Frog is one of the most popular internet memes, particularly among right-wing circles. In 2023, a meme coin taking the likeness of this meme was launched using the name Pepe. PEPE soon catapulted into the top echelons of meme coin charts and became the breakout meme coin of 2023. It is also an ERC-20 token.
Pepecoin is, in many ways, the quintessential meme coin. It took a popular internet meme and used it to launch a cryptocurrency into the limelight overnight. PEPE’s value experienced the typical meme coin upheaval of a great rally followed by a correction. At press time, it was third in meme coin rankings by market capitalization.
dogwifhat
Dogwifhat was launched in late 2023 and instantly became a top-meme coin. WIF is based on the Solana blockchain. Its mascot is a Shiba Inu dog wearing a knitted wool beanie.
In April 2024, WIF hits with $4,58 per token. After that, the dogwifhat price fell rapidly and still couldn’t reach spring’s peak.
Bonk
Bonk was launched in December 2022. The community created it to integrate with all dApps on the Solana network. Bonk has attracted significant attention due to its unique community-oriented approach and generous airdrop for Solana users, which amounted to 50% of the total tokens.
In July 2024, meme coins were one of the fastest-growing, but in August, they plummeted as many of this kind.
FLOKI
One cannot overstate the influence of Elon Musk in the meme coin sector. Musk got a puppy naming it Floki, after a legendary Viking figure. Behold a new meme coin that emerged under the name Floki. The project seeks to have more dimension to distinguish it from existing meme coins. Floki implements a broader ecosystem consisting of an NFT marketplace, decentralized finance, and crypto education content. The success of these side ventures will get the test of time, but Floki is notable first for its meme coin origins.
Whether to remain a pure meme coin or add utility will be in developers’ minds moving forward. Floki’s success with its utility credentials could encourage other creators to take this route.
Brett
Brett crypto is another meme coin based on the BASE blockchain. As of mid-August, its capitalisation was $786M, and the circulating supply was $9,910,174,941.
The coin was launched in April 2024. Brett’s mascot is Matt Furie’s Boys’ club comic character and, as claimed, “PEPE’S best friend”.
Popcat
Popcat is a meme coin based on the Solana blockchain and was launched at the beginning of 2024.
This project’s circulating supply is currently $979,978,670. Market capitalization of $415,108,235.
BOOK OF MEME
This project, launched in March 2024, aims to collect all the memes in a digital book based on blockchain.
BOME is a native token of this project. It’s based on the Solana blockchain.
Mog Coin
MOG is an Ethereum-based coin launched in July 2023. Tokens are actively traded on decentralized and centralized crypto exchanges. Its rise is marked by community support.
Mog coin is also an ERC-20 token. The BRC-20 bridge provides its cross-chain functionality, allowing the token to be used in different blockchains. This means that transactions between Ethereum and Bitcoin networks are seamless.
Top new meme coins
The meme coins list above are not the only tokens to look out for. This part of the market is constantly growing, and some new ones have become sensations in the crypto landscape. So, it’s a fair question: is there a new meme coin coming out? You already read about the biggest and most famous, and now let’s see which new meme coins are coming out soon.
Hamster Combat (HMSTR)
The real sensation of the 2024 summer — play to earn game Hamster Combat on Telegram. The main point is to turn a hamster into the CEO of a successful company by tapping, “buying” assets, and playing games.
Telegram’s founder Pavel Durov claimed that the future Hamster token will be launched on Toncoin.
The coin is on pre-market, and the community is looking forward to its airdrop, which keeps getting postponed.
Official Trump (TRUMP)
Official Trump is an official meme coin launched by the then-President elect Donald Trump just two days before his official inauguration in January 2025.
The token is registered on the Solana blockchain. It launched on January 18 at a crypto conference and skyrocketed to a market cap of over $30 billion within just hours, breaking into the top 20 coins ranked by market cap.
80% of the coin’s supply is owned by just one wallet, likely President Trump himself, and the coin’s vesting schedule indicates that the locked 80% will be vested each three months. The vesting schedule means that early token holders will have their ownership of the total supply diluted five times over in just over a year.
Meme coins are so popular in politics, that there are other coins with Trump’s name, like MAGA, DJT, and a even a Kamala Harris token called — KAMA.
Conclusion
Memecoin inspiration can come from a variety of places. Dogecoin was a Bitcoin parody; many others launched to replicate Dogecoin’s success, Elon Musk’s vision, and even anti-capitalist sentiment. The cumulative industry is the creation of a sub-sector unique to the blockchain sector. This list presents the ten biggest meme coins in the market. It will be fascinating to track changes and opportunities that emerge in this space in the future.
