The meme coin market is red today, but Popcat has notched a 7% gain, showing impressive strength while other projects tumble.
Meanwhile, Mog Coin has dipped 4%, and experts are tipping a new and improved alternative called Catslap for bigger gains ahead.
Popcat Ready to Pounce at New ATH
Simply buying and holding Popcat could well be a lucrative strategy for meme coin traders in 2025.
As Solana’s largest cat-themed meme coin, it’s likely to benefit from the rising tide of the cat coin meta.
Currently, Popcat is trading at $1.24, up 7% in the past day. It remains down 12% this week and 20% this month, but today’s rally could well mark a turning point after a recent period of underperformance against the broader market – and more specifically, Mog Coin.
Trader Chimp of the North analyzed Popcat’s price chart on the daily time frame back in November and said he’s waiting to “bid” at a macro support/resistance level of $1.04.
After more than one month in the making, Popcat has finally tested the level and has since started to bounce, aligning with the idea that Popcat’s trajectory could now switch bullish.
Analyst FomoCrypto agrees that Popcat has found its bottom and will now commence a higher time frame “parabolic” uptrend with a $9 price target.
Mog Coin Takes Breather After 34% Rally
While Popcat has started turning things around today, this month has been all about Mog Coin.
The Ethereum-based cat coin secured a listing on the world’s second largest exchange Coinbase, where it generated massive amounts of demand.
Its 4% selloff today is to be expected after its recent success, having rallied 34% this week and 74% this month.
Currently, MOG is trading at $0.000003327 with a $1.29 billion market cap and a $88 million 24-hour trading volume.
While the price has cooled down today, analysts are not worried. Guru.Asymmetry notes $0.0000030566 as a key level for MOG. Provided it stays above that, it has retained its bullish structure and will rally to highs of $0.0000070000, per the analyst’s chart.
Experts Back Catslap For the Biggest Gains In 2025
Both Popcat and Mog Coin are sitting at market caps beyond $1.2 billion. Yet Catslap is valued at just $44 million today.
Despite that, the new feline-themed token significantly expands on the thin offerings of its two larger counterparts.
For instance, Catslap has a Slap-to-Earn game where users can slap an image of a celebrity to gain a share of a $100K prize pool. This is similar to Popcat’s tap-to-pop game, except Catslap is actually paying people to play.
It also has staking, buyback, and burn mechanisms, all contributing to the project’s supply and demand dynamics.

While it remains at a marginal $44 million market cap, Catslap is already drawing attention among leading industry players. For instance, Chicago-based money house Jump Trading invested $500K in the project, and it also secured a listing on MEXC last week.
Top analysts have also shown interest, with ClayBro telling his 130K YouTube subscribers that it could be “the most viral meme coin” and holds 100x potential from here.
Indeed, a 100x would place Catslap beyond Popcat and Mog Coin’s current market caps, but both of those tokens will likely be trading higher with a tailwind from the crypto bull market.
Everything’s in place for Catlsap to grow, so prospective buyers should act fast to secure the best price.
