Everyone’s looking for the next big meme coin.
But with so many new ones being launched every day, it can be tricky to identify which have genuine potential.
To help narrow down the selection, we’ve picked out six meme coins that could be about to explode in August.
1. Pepe Unchained (PEPU)
Kicking off our list is Pepe Unchained (PEPU).
This ambitious project is developing a Layer-2 network exclusively for meme coins, and investors are pumped.
Pepe Unchained already has serious momentum, with over $6 million raised in presale.
The developers are looking to tackle real issues like sky-high fees and sluggish transactions.
Imagine swapping meme coins in milliseconds with fees that are a fraction of a cent.
That’s Pepe Unchained’s promise.
Add some high staking rewards and two smart contract audits, and you’ve got a recipe for potentially explosive price action.
For that reason, PEPU is one to watch in August and beyond.
2. WienerAI (WAI)
WienerAI (WAI) is offering a combo of meme coin fun and AI utility that’s got early backers excited.
The project’s presale is in its final day, raising over $8 million (and counting).
This means would-be investors have one last chance to buy WAI tokens before they hit the open market.
So, why all the hype?
The main reason is WienerAI’s AI-powered trading bot, which promises to make crypto trading as easy as possible.
It’ll be like a personal trading assistant that you can chat with in plain English.
More than 13,500 people are now active in WienerAI’s Telegram channel, eager for the bot to launch.
And with a Uniswap listing on the horizon, we could see WAI explode once trading goes live.
3. PlayDoge (PLAY)
Next up is PlayDoge (PLAY).
PlayDoge combines 90s virtual pet vibes with blockchain tech, creating a new P2E game that’s gone viral in presale.
The game involves adopting a virtual “Doge” pet, caring for it, and earning PLAY tokens as a reward.
But it might run away if you don’t care for your Doge properly.
Alongside the P2E gameplay, PlayDoge has a staking protocol offering high yields to PLAY holders.
That means there are two ways to earn crypto income in PlayDoge’s ecosystem.
No wonder the project’s ongoing presale has raised over $5.8 million in funding so far.
Even crypto YouTubers like Cilinix Crypto have been singing PlayDoge’s praises.
If the developers can maintain (or grow) its momentum, PlayDoge could be set for a breakout in the weeks ahead.
4. Base Dawgz (DAWGZ)
Base Dawgz (DAWG) is another meme coin that could explode in August.
Operating on Base, Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, and Avalanche, this coin is positioning itself for wide accessibility.
The project has raised over $2.7 million in presale – and is currently offering DAWGZ tokens for just $0.007061 each.
Unsurprisingly, Base Dawgz’s multi-chain ambitions are the main reason for all the hype.
However, the developers are also launching a staking protocol for DAWGZ.
There’s even a “Share-to-Earn” setup whereby community members can earn crypto by creating viral social media content.
Given that no other meme coin has this level of utility, Base Dawgz could be one to watch.
5. Shiba Shootout (SHIBASHOOT)
Shiba Shootout (SHIBASHOOT) is one of the most unique coins on our list.
This coin mixes the popular Shiba Inu meme with a Wild West theme.
And since the developers are creating a new P2E game, Shiba Shootout could tap into both the crypto gaming and meme coin markets.
The game will let players earn SHIBASHOOT tokens through completing frontier-themed challenges and battles.
Yet that’s not all.
Shiba Shootout’s ecosystem will also have features like Cactus Staking, Lucky Lasso Lotteries, and Token Governance Roundups.
There’s even a Posse Rewards referral program to reward loyal community members.
With over $850,000 raised in presale so far, Shiba Shootout is becoming more popular by the day – setting the stage for an exciting month ahead.
6. DUKO (DUKO)
Rounding off our list of meme coins that could explode in August is DUKO (DUKO).
This token’s been performing well lately, with its price up 48% in the past week alone.
DUKO has even racked up $7.6 million in spot trading volume over the last day.
Interestingly, DUKO isn’t just about memes and hype.
The developers have donated 24 SOL to dog charities, which equates to around $4,300.
With a capped supply of 10 billion tokens and an online community that’s growing by the day, DUKO could be a meme coin underdog to watch this month.
