The world of crypto meme coins continues to move at lightning speed, and this week has been no exception in crypto news. From record-breaking price pumps to new exchange listings, meme coin mania is very much alive. Here’s everything you need to know about what’s been trending, what’s been dumping, and which coins are drawing major attention in the meme coin ecosystem right now.
🐸 PEPE Makes a Splash with New All-Time High
This week, PEPE surged to a fresh all-time high, hitting a market cap north of $6.2 billion. The frog-themed coin—initially launched as a joke—has outperformed many top 50 altcoins, driven by FOMO and relentless social media hype. PEPE has seen over 60% gains in the past 7 days alone, according to CoinMarketCap, and is now the third-largest meme coin behind Dogecoin and Shiba Inu.
Large whale movements suggest major accumulation, and crypto analysts predict further upside if Bitcoin stabilises above the $65,000 range.
“PEPE is doing what Dogecoin did in 2021—except faster,” tweeted @CryptoKaleo.
💥 BRETT Launches on New Exchanges
BRETT, the Base-native meme coin that’s become a cultural sensation on Crypto Twitter, was listed on Bybit and KuCoin this week. Its 24-hour volume peaked above $150 million, and it’s now up more than 80% in the last 10 days.
BRETT’s growing popularity is fuelled by the narrative around Coinbase’s Base network and broader bullish sentiment toward Ethereum L2s. The meme coin is also gaining traction as a bridge between meme culture and the on-chain Base ecosystem.
🚀 WEN and TURBO Rebound Strongly
Both WEN and TURBO posted strong comebacks after weeks of stagnation:
- WEN jumped 38% week-on-week after Elon Musk liked a meme referencing the token.
- TURBO reclaimed key support at $0.000090 and is now trending among top gainers on DEXTools.
Investors are speculating these coins could follow similar parabolic paths to PEPE, especially with new DEX aggregators promoting them across Telegram communities.
🐉 Rising Stars: Draggy, Pei Pei, Andy, Landwolf, Hoppy, Bobo & MEW
This week has also seen a new wave of meme coins catching serious momentum, and they deserve their flowers:
- Draggy is quickly becoming a community favourite with its stunning branding and a loyal base of holders rallying behind a playful yet bullish narrative. With NFT integrations and a vibrant roadmap, Draggy could be next in line for a major breakout. Crypto News favours this coin.
- Pei Pei, the cheeky panda-themed token, has exploded on TikTok and Telegram. With its strong meme appeal and unique Asian crossover cultural vibes, Pei Pei is drawing a global following.
- Andy continues to impress with a consistently rising floor and a meme game that rivals the big players. Its developers are rolling out utility features faster than expected, and the community is loving it.
- Landwolf is dominating Twitter spaces with one of the most vocal and unified communities out there. This canine-themed coin is building out a surprisingly deep ecosystem, and whales are quietly stacking.
- Hoppy is making waves as the feel-good meme coin of the season. With its adorable aesthetic and strong influencer support, it’s winning hearts and wallets alike.
- Bobo has transformed from meme underdog to serious contender. Analysts are noting its strong price floor, and its meme virality is reaching all corners of Crypto X.
- MEW (short for “My Ethereum Wallet”) is not just another cute token—it’s fusing meme culture with smart wallet utilities, offering both fun and function in one explosive package.
These rising stars prove the meme coin space is more than just a handful of names. Innovation, creativity, and passionate communities are fuelling this next generation of meme tokens.
📉 FLOKI Faces Sell-Off Amid Ecosystem Questions
Not all meme coins had a bullish week. FLOKI saw a 12% correction as doubts surfaced over its NFT roadmap and staking yields. While the project has deep community roots and strong branding, short-term technicals show signs of a continued retracement unless buying pressure returns soon.
🧠 AI-Powered Meme Coins: A New Trend?
Emerging meme coins like GENIE, AIKI, and CHATPEPE are riding the artificial intelligence wave. Many of these tokens claim to combine humour, decentralised governance, and AI-driven utility—though sceptics warn of vaporware.
One crypto coin to watch is GENIE, which promises to integrate a meme-themed AI chatbot with a decentralised tipping engine. It launched this week with $25 million in trading volume in its first 48 hours.

⚠️ Final Thought: Volatility is the Game
As always, crypto meme coins are high-risk, high-reward assets. With rapid market moves, celebrity tweets, and exchange listings swinging prices dramatically, anyone trading these tokens should proceed with caution.
But one thing’s for sure: the meme coin space is far from dead. It might just be heating up again.
