Meme coins are still all the rage in the world of crypto.
And now a fresh batch of tokens is waiting to steal the limelight from heavyweights like Dogecoin and Pepe.
Let’s explore five newcomers who just might have what it takes to rocket when the next crypto bull market kicks off.
1. Pepe Unchained (PEPU)
Topping our list is Pepe Unchained (PEPU).
Pepe Unchained’s developers aren’t just slapping a frog on a token and calling it a day.
Instead, they’ve got big plans to create a new Layer-2 blockchain just for meme coins.
The goal is to address those annoying problems, like high fees and network congestion, that keep popping up for meme coins on Ethereum.
If Pepe Unchained’s team can deliver on this promise, it could be revolutionary for retail traders.
And investors are excited about this potential.
Pepe Unchained’s team has raised over $10 million in the project’s presale, with PEPU tokens still on offer at a discount.
So, while it might resemble other frog-themed tokens, Pepe Unchained is much different – and could be set to explode later this year.
2. Sundog (SUNDOG)
Next up is Sundog (SUNDOG), which has been trending this week.
Built on the Tron blockchain, this token is a nod to Tron’s founder, Justin Sun.
And it’s gone from a nothing token to a crypto celebrity since it launched on August 19th.
SUNDOG’s market cap shot up from just $2 million to over $270 million at its peak on Wednesday.
That bullishness also led to the token’s price rising over 100x.
This price spike and listings on top CEXs like HTX and Gate.io have pushed SUNDOG into the spotlight.
As the Tron ecosystem experiences its own meme coin frenzy, SUNDOG looks well-positioned to be a frontrunner in the next crypto bull run.
3. PlayDoge (PLAY)
PlayDoge (PLAY) is shaking up the meme coin space by throwing it back to the ‘90s.
Remember Tamagotchis?
Well, PlayDoge’s team brings that vibe to crypto with a P2E game where you raise a digital Doge pet.
You’ll earn PLAY tokens as rewards for feeding and caring for your pet.
PlayDoge is also dipping its toes into the DeFi space with a staking setup.
So, while you’re keeping your virtual pet happy, you can also earn passive income in the form of extra PLAY tokens.
It’s a combination of fun and real earning potential that is attracting enormous investment.
At the time of writing, PlayDoge has raised over $6.1 million in its presale phase.
But with the presale set to end in less than three days, investors only have a narrow window to buy PLAY tokens before they hit the open market – and potentially explode.
4. Simon’s Cat (CAT)
Simon’s Cat (CAT), based on the popular animated series, is going viral.
Launched earlier this week on the BNB Chain, this token has quickly caught the attention of investors.
Boasting over 1.6 billion views on YouTube, the Simon’s Cat brand brings a ready-made (and engaged) audience to the crypto space.
The CAT token began with a market cap of just $25 million.
However, as of now, its market cap has grown to over $210 million – all within just three days.
CAT has even made it onto CoinMarketCap’s trending cryptos list.
With many believing the market could be on the brink of another bull run, Simon’s Cat could be a potential option for those seeking meme coin exposure.
5. Crypto All-Stars (STARS)
Rounding off our list of new meme coins that could explode in the next bull run is Crypto All-Stars (STARS).
This coin is offering a brand-new feature called “MemeVault.”
Think of it as a one-stop-shop for meme coin yield farming.
If you have a bunch of meme coins in your wallet, you can stake them in the MemeVault and earn STARS tokens in return.
But it gets better, since if you already own STARS tokens, you’ll receive triple the staking rewards.
This could drive up demand for STARS as investors chase those high yields.
And if that wasn’t enough, the Crypto All-Stars’ team aims to operate across multiple blockchains and make the staking process as easy as possible.
So, as we gear up for the next market rally, STARS could be in a great spot to take advantage of the bullishness.
