Coinbase shocked the meme coin sector on Wednesday with a surprise announcement that the largest US exchange would list $PEPE, the 3rd-largest meme coin by market cap.
The announcement—which followed on the heels of $PEPE listing on Robinhood—saw the price of $PEPE nearly double within a few hours. The token is now trading at a valuation of more than $8.7 billion and has seen its daily trading volume spike to $19 billion.
Coinbase’s surprise listing signals that the exchange could be getting ready to list even more tokens as we head into the next meme coin season.
Traders who can anticipate which tokens will list stand to earn hefty gains. So, let’s take a look at 3 meme coins that are strong candidates to earn the Coinbase stamp of approval next.
Pepe Unchained
Pepe Unchained is not only the hottest crypto ICO of this fall. It’s also one of the most successful meme coin ICOs of all time.
The project has raised nearly $30 million with just 28 days remaining in its presale.
Pepe Unchained is building an Ethereum Layer-2 network designed for meme coin development and trading, making this project perfectly positioned to capture enormous value from the coming meme coin supercycle.
Pepe Unchained promises lower transaction fees and faster speeds than existing Layer-2 networks, so it can steal meme coin market share away from Ethereum and Solana.
The project’s native $PEPU token is key to this new ecosystem since it’s required to pay for transactions. So, as more viral meme coins launch on Pepe Unchained and trading volume picks up, the value of $PEPU could explode.
In fact, analysts are already highlighting the massive potential underlying Pepe Unchained.
The $PEPU token presale is wrapping up soon, and the project team has already teased major exchange listings. Don’t miss this chance to join Pepe Unchained before it’s too late.
Crypto All-Stars
Crypto All-Stars is another emerging meme coin with impressive support and utility designed to capture the hearts of meme coin investors.
This project is building a Meme Vault, a new type of secure pool where investors in $DOGE, $SHIB, $PEPE, and other top meme coins can stake their tokens. In return, they’ll earn $STARS, the native token of Crypto All-Stars.
Even better, investors who stake $STARS alongside their other tokens can earn up to 3x more rewards. That provides important incentive for token holders to hang onto their $STARS and keeps demand for the token high.
The project could be a darling of the meme coin season as investors look for ways to maximize their returns on major meme coins without selling them.
It’s also great for building community—Crypto All-Stars aims to bring meme token investors from several different blockchains under a single umbrella.
The project has seen early success, raising more than $3.6 million in its ongoing presale. Early investors will get first access to the Meme Vault when it opens, plus earn 452% APY for staking their $STARS tokens until then.
This project has everything Coinbase looks for—momentum, utility, and massive price potential. Join the Crypto All-Stars presale today to lock in the best price for $STARS.
Goatseus Maximus
Goatseus Maximus is an already-launched meme coin that’s been on a non-stop rise since it hit the market in mid-October. Its $GOAT token is up a whopping 600% since last month.
$GOAT hit a new all-time high of $1.06 yesterday and crossed the $1 billion market cap milestone for the first time, so this token’s momentum shows no signs of slowing down.
$GOAT is already trading on several major exchanges, including Bybit, HTX, and KuCoin. That increases pressure on Coinbase to list the token—otherwise, the exchange could give up its dominant position by forcing traders to move to other exchanges to trade in-demand meme coins.
Another reason Goatseus Maximus is an especially strong candidate for listing on Coinbase is that it’s gotten direct attention from Brian Armstrong, the exchange’s CEO. Armstrong offered a crypto wallet to the AI that created and runs $GOAT, showing that he’s personally interested in the project’s success.
Look for Coinbase to put this meme coin on its shortlist of tokens to list next.
