The meme coin market is full of excitement. Seemingly every week, a new project pops up and provides gains that would be impossible in almost any other sector.
This article provides five meme coins that could be the next 100x gem.
Pepe Unchained
At the epitome of early-stage momentum lies Pepe Unchained, a presale token that has raised $13.5 million and generates around $200K per day in inflows.
By the time it launches on exchanges, there will be tens of thousands of traders already holding $PEPU, providing a solid springboard for further growth.
But here’s where Pepe Unchained’s potential really lies: it’s building the first Pepe-themed Ethereum layer 2 blockchain.
Underpinned by the viral Pepe meme, Pepe Unchained is helping scale Ethereum with 100x faster speeds and lower fees. It’ll be connected to the main chain with a dedicated bridge and boasts features like staking and a block explorer.
The project has caught another tailwind after the so-called ‘Dogecoin Millionaire’ Glauber Contessoto predicted that Pepe-themed tokens will be the winners of this cycle’s meme coin season.
Currently, the Pepe Unchained presale is ongoing and priced at $0.0097284. However, this will rise throughout the campaign, with the next increase later today.
PepeCoin
Continuing with the Pepe theme, PepeCoin is positioned as “OG Pepe,” created approximately seven years before the Pepe that most of us know.
PepeCoin was inspired by the Pepe the Frog meme, and the team was one of the earliest innovators in the NFT space, creating the trading platform Kekdaq in 2017.
PepeCoin was originally launched on its own blockchain, Memetic, which remains operational to this day. However, the team also launched an ERC-20 version of the token in 2023.
But PepeCoin’s historical claim on the Pepe brand is only part of its allure. Looking ahead, it’s introducing innovations like an updated NFT marketplace and a cutting-edge solution for training and running AI models. It will also launch its own AI language model, ChatGPR-33, and an image generation model, MemeJourney.
Glauber Contessoto also mentioned PepeCoin in his recent prediction, suggesting it might “moon” in the upcoming meme coin season.
Crypto All-Stars
Crypto All-Stars offers a unique diversified bet over 11 of the top meme coins, including Pepe, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Floki, and Mog Coin.
The project is building the first unified staking protocol for meme coins. Users will be able to stake the above-mentioned joke tokens alongside six others in return for passive $STARS rewards.
Its website also notes that support for more meme coins will be added later.
Users must hold $STARS tokens to access the platform, and the amount of rewards they earn depends on how much they hold.
The project is currently undergoing a presale, but investors can stake their $STARS tokens while it is ongoing. Currently, $STARS staking provides an APY of 1,100%.
The presale has raised $1.3 million so far.
With $STARS providing indirect exposure to Crypto All-Stars’ supported tokens, it could well prove a favorable ‘meme coin index’ for traders seeking a diversified yet high-potential investment.
The current Crypto All-Stars presale price is $0.0014477, but this will rise in two days.
Slerf
In crypto, traders love a good backstory – but not many projects have one as ‘degen’ as Slerf’s.
Slerf launched on the Solana blockchain in peak meme coin mania, in March 2023. It launched via a presale and attracted a substantial $10 million in funding.
However, the developer accidentally burned the entire presale supply just before the token was supposed to launch. Anywhere else, this would mean game over – but not in the joke token sector.
It made the token more scarce, which, combined with new publicity, created a lucrative opportunity for risk-hungry degens. Within hours of launching, Slerf hit a $500 million market cap.
Today, Slerf sits at a $77 million valuation but has been one of the strongest performers with a 16% pump while the broader crypto market falls flat.
As illustrated with PepeCoin, a strong backstory can do wonders for a project’s long-term growth and ability to stand out in a highly competitive vertical.
Memebet Token
Talking of standing out, Memebet token will be the first online casino for meme coin holders. Users can wager all the top meme coins like Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Pepe, and more.
Such a use case unmistakably targets the degen community, the same group that bidded Slerf to a $500 million market cap hours after a botched presale.
However, Memebet looks to have its house in order much more than Slerf. The project will have thousands of games and sportsbook events alongside airdrops, “Lootboxes,” and casino bonuses to keep users interested.
And here’s somewhere else it stands out: the project is in its presale but has already become the official regional sponsor of the Argentina national soccer team.
This illustrates Memebet Casino’s quick-footed mentality toward partnerships and could indicate more to come.
The $MEMEBET token acts as the platform’s lifeblood, providing extra bonuses, airdrop access, and exclusive features like a VIP community group.
Currently, the Memebet token presale raise sits at $240K. It’s still early days, meaning investors can capitalize on the lowest possible price.
