Solana and Ethereum no longer cut it for meme coin traders – they’re venturing further afield for huge gains.
TON meme coins – one of the hottest current narratives – continue to trend, with traders look for the next big tokens.
Meanwhile, the Pepe Unchained meme coin ICO is also steaming ahead, having now raised over $12.5M.
Let’s look at 3 TON meme coins that could explode this month as well as why investors are backing the Pepe Unchained presale.
Which TON meme coins could boom in September?
Due to the arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov, degens are also flocking to the Telegram-based TON in solidarity with the ill-fated executive.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at three TON meme coins that could explode in September.
Resistance Dog
Before a couple of weeks ago, Resistance Dogs was the largest meme coin on TON. However, this all changed with the release of Dogs, which launched on Binance on 26 August.
But the launch of Dogs has presented a huge pricing inefficiency, which could see massive gains for REDO.
Currently, Resistance Dogs has a $37 million market cap, while Dogs holds a $514 million market cap.
You might think it’s deserving since Dogs has a Binance listing, and Resistance Dogs doesn’t. It sems like a fair assessment, given Binance’s huge user base.
However, TON also has buckets of users, with 3 million active and 50 million in total.
With Resistance Dogs’ market cap 10x less than the market leaders, it might only be a matter of time until TON’s millions of users capitalize on REDO’s low value.
At press time, Resistance Dogs is trading at $0.3695. Its price is up 10% today but down 8% this week.
Ton Cat
In a surprise turn of events, cat-themed tokens have shown strength on TON and the wider meme coin stage this week.
Currently, TON’s most-valuable cat token and third-most-valuable meme coin is Ton Cat.
This furry creation is all about positive energy and “restoring balance in the meme coin space.”
It wants to shoo out the extractive PvP practices of other chains, opening market participants to an environment where “trust, sustainability, and collective prosperity are paramount.”
We should also note that Ton Cat’s market cap is a micro-fraction of market leader Dogs’ – it’s currently valued at $6 million.
Just a small amount of profit taking from Dogs and capital rotation into Ton Cat could skyrocket its price.
The cat-themed meme coin meta is led by BNB-based Simon’s Cat, which has pumped 114% this month and is now valued at $189 million.
If Toncoin users catch wind, they could flock to TCAT to capitalize, causing its price to surge.
Mittens
CoinGecko lists “Cat-Themed” as its most trending category right now, so there’s ample opportunity for related plays on TON.
That’s why we’re talking about Mittens, which also happens to be the best-performing TON meme coin this week.
It’s a true microcap with a $1.7 million valuation and a lot of untapped potential.
Per its website, Mittens is “The King of Telegram.”
Besides that, the team is keeping its cards close to its chest.
However, the project has seen multiple wins on social media. For example, the official Telegram account responded to Mittens on X with a cute cat image.
Traders are rushing to buy MITTENS early. The project is currently trading at $0.001174. It’s up 13.8% today and 28% this week.
Pepe Unchained Presale Raises $12.5M for L2 Plans
Pepe Unchained is fueled by a unique narrative. In one sense, it’s a Pepe-themed meme coin benefiting from the same viral allure as its peers. But at the same time, it’s building a potentially critical piece of meme coin infrastructure.
They’re creating the first Ethereum layer 2 blockchain with an inherent focus on meme coins.
Like other layer 2s, “Pepe Chain” offers more competitive fees and speeds than Ethereum while interconnecting with the layer 1 and other layer 2s.
It will have a dedicated Ethereum bridge, allowing users to effortlessly switch between Pepe Chain, Ethereum, and other layer 2s.
And its meme coin roots could make it a retail-friendly stronghold, allowing other layer 2s to take care of more “buttoned-up” use cases like real-world assets and energy.
But don’t be fooled – Pepe Unchained will be packed with innovation. Devs could build compelling meme-centered applications, like a meme coin futures trading app or a metaverse containing meme characters.
It also has a staking mechanism currently providing a 163% APY.
The project has received widespread support from experts, with figures like ClayBro backing it.
“These guys are creating an ecosystem and community – Pepe Unchained is building something amazing here,” he said.
However, time is running out for prospective investors to secure the best price.
The current Pepe Unchained presale price is $0.0095743, but this will rise throughout the campaign and the next increase is later today.
