Bitcoin just hit a new high of over $118,000, and some meme coins are exploding! Let’s look at a few standouts.
BONK’s Big Win
Remember Pump.fun? Well, it’s losing ground to a competitor, LetsBonk.fun (created by the BONK team). LetsBonk.fun is now the bigger player. What’s driving this? The BONK team plans to use half of its fees to buy back BONK tokens, which should reduce supply and boost the price. This strategy is working – BONK is up over 43% in just a week! With the crypto market still a bit down, BONK could be poised for even bigger gains.
USELESS: From Fad to Fortune
USELESS, a Solana-based meme coin, launched in June 2025 and initially crashed. But it’s built a huge online following, and its price has skyrocketed over 5,000% recently! It now boasts a market cap of over $300 million. Even big-name crypto traders like “BONK guy” are betting big on USELESS, predicting a $1 billion market cap.
PEPE: Still a Top Contender
PEPE, an Ethereum-based meme coin, is closely tied to Ethereum’s price. When Ethereum goes up, PEPE usually goes up even more. With Ethereum expected to climb back above $4,800, PEPE could be a strong investment. For example, when Ethereum jumped 8% recently, PEPE surged by about 16%!
