Crypto’s long-awaited bull cycle has arrived. After months of sideways churn, Bitcoin has stormed to a new all-time high of $123,231, triggering a wave of capital flowing into altcoins. The altcoin market cap is now at $1.56 trillion, near its previous record. Ethereum is once again outperforming BTC on weekly and monthly charts. Among the sectors gaining traction, meme coins continue to lead thanks to their viral culture and breakout upside potential.
Here are six meme coins worth watching, particularly if you missed BONK’s explosive rise.
Little Pepe (LILPEPE): Meme Culture Meets Technical Ambition
LILPEPE is emerging as one of the most compelling meme coin stories of the 2025 cycle. It’s not just another viral frog-themed token—it’s building an entire Ethereum-compatible Layer-2 network explicitly designed for meme coins. With over $12 million raised, the token has gathered substantial momentum. Its roadmap includes staking, governance features, and a launchpad for meme tokens. A $777,000 giveaway fuels interest as hype builds around its unique blend of infrastructure and culture.
Pepe Coin (PEPE) Could Break Out Again
PEPE is once again flashing signs of life. After facing resistance at $0.00001400, the token has stabilized near strong EMA support levels. A recent golden cross—where the 9-day EMA overtook the 200-day—suggests accelerating bullish momentum. Technical analysts are eyeing a climb toward $0.00001600, potentially yielding a 25–50% return for short-term traders. Though its narrative has cooled since its peak, PEPE remains a chart-driven opportunity in a meme-heavy market environment favoring high-volatility assets.
Spark (SPK): Lightning Network Lift-Off
Spark is gaining traction after integrating the Bitcoin Lightning Network, enabling faster BTC transactions and capturing attention from cross-chain users. SPK jumped over 64% in a single day and has doubled over the past week, thanks to airdrop hype and rising volume. Trading activity surged 302%, pushing it through resistance at $0.0615. With a potential next stop at $0.075, Spark is positioning itself as a utility-focused meme coin with technical triggers and event-driven price momentum fueling the current rally.
Notcoin (NOT): Telegram’s Viral Heavyweight
Notcoin transformed from a Telegram mini-game into a full-fledged meme powerhouse with a $1.8 billion valuation. Nearly 30 million users participated in its gamified airdrop, helping it dominate Gen Z-driven crypto discourse. Now that it is live on the TON network and pursuing major centralized exchange listings, Notcoin is proving that viral adoption and social gamification can drive real demand. Its user-friendly interface and loyal community suggest staying power, making it one of the most promising long-term meme tokens from mobile-first innovation.
Pudgy Penguins (Pengu): A Challenger to BONK
Pengu has climbed from early lows of $0.003 to over $0.044 in July, earning the title of the largest meme token on Solana by volume. With trading spiking 290% and a potential breakout pattern forming, Pengu is attracting attention as it challenges BONK’s top ranking. Its connection to the Pudgy Penguins NFT ecosystem and new multi-chain integrations suggest it might develop into something beyond a meme. If momentum and partnerships hold firm, a push toward $0.07 could be next.
Dogwifhat (WIF): Testing Resistance Again
Dogwifhat remains one of the more unpredictable Solana-based meme coins. Trading around $1.09, it recently saw a 30% climb but pulled back slightly at $1.30 resistance. Past price action suggests this could be another setup for a sharp rebound—the token has already delivered a 1,450% rally in April 2024. While volatility is still a concern, WIF’s loyal fan base and meme appeal remain relevant. If Solana’s ecosystem continues expanding, Dogwifhat may again capture the market’s attention heading into August.
Conclusion: The Meme Market’s Next 50x Star?
LILPEPE is gunning for infrastructure dominance in meme culture, bridging utility and virality in a way few tokens have. It has become one of the strongest contenders with a Layer-2 chain, deep community roots, and a full launchpad for future meme projects.
If Bonk marked the beginning, tokens like LILPEPE may define the next leg. And for those who missed out, this might be the chance to catch the next 50x run.
