Coinbase is taking its shackles off after President Trump’s election victory and the announcement that Gary Gensler plans to resign as SEC Chair on January 20.
Since the election, the largest US exchange has listed several major meme coins that it has long held off on trading for fear of litigation. Those coins include $PEPE and $FLOKI, respectively the 3rd and 6th largest meme coins by market cap.
With the meme coin sector rising fast—it’s now up to a $115 billion market cap from $58 billion at the start of November—there’s a lot of incentive for Coinbase to list even more tokens and capitalize on the massive surge in trading volume.
So, it’s no surprise that Coinbase is making noise about more meme coin listings on the way.
Tom Duff Gordon, Coinbase VP of International Policy, told Bloomberg that Coinbase plans “to do more with some of those projects and some of those tokens that we weren’t able to offer and some of the services we were not able to offer Americans… We’re talking more about some of the smaller tokens, some of the meme coin tokens.”
That has traders wondering which tokens exactly are on Coinbase’s radar. Finding the next Coinbase listing before it happens could position traders for massive gains, especially if the token is just emerging from an ICO and has a small market cap.
After all, just look at what happened to $NEIRO, the mostly unknown meme coin that Binance plucked from obscurity for listing last month. Almost overnight, the token exploded from a $10 million valuation to a nearly $1 billion valuation.
Coinbase’s next listing could do the same.
All Eyes on Catslap
The token rumored to be at the top of Coinbase’s list is Catslap ($SLAP), a hilarious new meme coin that features a cat slapping Pepe across the face.
$SLAP listed on decentralized exchanges yesterday after a brief but explosive ICO on Best Wallet’s Upcoming Tokens launchpad. Within hours of listing, $SLAP jumped from a price of $0.000118 to $0.0025—a gain of more than 20x.
The token is now the #1 hot token on crypto analytics platform DexTools and is trading with more than $1.1 million in volume. $SLAP has a market cap of nearly $9 million and is close to amassing 1,000 token holders.
Catslap is now going through a brief consolidation and is priced at $0.0019, creating an attractive entry opportunity for investors who missed the launch. However, this probably won’t last long, especially as more traders catch on that $SLAP could be the next Coinbase listing.
Catslap Clicker Game Goes Viral
Catslap is benefiting from its cat theme, which has rocketed tokens like $POPCAT and $MEW to the top of the meme coin charts.
This meme coin season could finally be the time when cat lovers get their due and topple some of the dogs that have long dominated the meme coin sector.
The project is blowing up on social media, with nearly 3,000 followers on X.
What really offers Catslap the chance to go viral, though, is its slapping clicker game. Players just click on the virtual cat to deliver a slap to Pepe.

Every slap counts towards your country’s total slaps, so there’s an international competition underway to see who can deliver the most.
The game is highly addictive and great for community engagement, and anyone can compete to see who can slap the most.
Plus, Catslap fans can likely look forward to play-to-earn rewards in the future. The project has earmarked 10% of the total $SLAP token supply for community rewards. That supply could be fuel for a future airdrop.
Analysts Back Catslap as Next Meme Coin to Explode
It’s not just early investors who are buzzing about Catslap. Prominent meme coin analysts are getting in on the action as well.
Meme coin influencer Michael Wrubel predicted today that even after Catslap’s explosive launch, the token could still rocket another 50x or more.
Wrubel has been right about a number of out-of-nowhere meme coins in the past, so his nod is a testament to just how powerful the Catslap meme can be.
On top of that, crypto influencer Jacob ‘Crypto’ Bury beat Wrubel to the punch. Bury predicted just hours before the $SLAP token hit exchanges that it could jump 100x.
Plus, meme coin traders know a token is hot when Elon Musk’s Dogecoin x Lion King tweet from 2021 resurfaces. And that’s exactly what influencer Alessa Mutto posted on X.
Announcement Coming in 12 Days—Could It Be a Coinbase Listing?
Adding to the hype around Catslap, the project has posted a countdown clock on its website promising a “major announcement” in just 12 days.
The Catslap team hasn’t given any indication as to what the announcement is, but speculation is running wild that it’s a Tier-1 exchange listing. Traders are guessing whether $SLAP will list on Coinbase, Binance, Bybit, or another exchange, but it’s all up in the air at this time.
For now, $SLAP token investors have an opportunity to get in at a favorable entry price. You can also stake your $SLAP to earn 40% APY—the minimum staking period is just 7 days, so that leaves time to fill your bags and unstake your tokens to be ready for the big announcement.
Catslap is setting up to be one of the most explosive tokens of Moonvember and keep rocketing into 2025. Don’t miss this opportunity to buy $SLAP before the price shoots higher.
