9 Best Meme Coins to Buy in 2025
Meme coins are super popular cryptocurrencies that soar on popular trends or social media memes throughout a crypto bull run.
Coinmarketcap lists the top meme coins but they don't answer mention the best meme coins to invest in.
I usually sort the top meme coins by volume to find out which ones are the best to invest in. Higher volume means more money is pouring into a meme coin, which gives it more potential to go up in price.
Here's a list of the best meme coins to invest in:
- Pepe
- Dogecoin
- Official Trump
- Peanut the Squirrel
- Bonk
- Moo Deng
- Dogwifhat
- Shiba Inu
- Pudgy Penguins
Pepe (PEPE)
Inspired by the popular “Pepe the Frog” meme, PEPE is an Ethereum-based token that quickly gained attention in 2023 due to its viral community hype, despite lacking utility or official backing.
Dogecoin (DOGE)
The original meme coin, Dogecoin was created in 2013 as a joke based on the “Doge” Shiba Inu meme. It has since built a large, passionate community and has seen endorsements from figures like Elon Musk.
Official Trump (DJT)
A controversial and unofficial meme coin allegedly tied to Donald Trump. As of now, it remains speculative and lacks confirmation from Trump or his affiliates, making it a highly volatile and debated token.
Peanut the Squirrel (NUTS)
A newer, quirky meme coin themed around a cartoon squirrel character, Peanut. It relies heavily on humor and social media trends, aiming to ride the wave of meme token popularity.
Bonk (BONK)
Bonk is a Solana-based meme coin launched in late 2022, representing the Solana community's playful response to the broader meme coin craze, often seen as Solana’s answer to Dogecoin or Shiba Inu.
Moo Deng (MOO)
A humorous meme coin possibly themed around cows and Asian pop culture references. It's one of the lesser-known meme coins, relying on community engagement and memes for traction.
Dogwifhat (WIF)
A Solana meme coin featuring a Shiba Inu dog wearing a knit hat. It exploded in popularity in early 2024 as a lighthearted, community-driven token with a unique and meme-worthy brand.
Shiba Inu (SHIB)
Created in 2020 as a Dogecoin alternative (“Dogecoin killer”), SHIB runs on the Ethereum blockchain and has developed a full ecosystem including ShibaSwap and NFTs, showing more ambition than most meme coins.
Pudgy Penguins
Originally an NFT collection, Pudgy Penguins has become a cultural brand with a growing presence in merchandise and licensing. While not a coin itself, it has meme-like influence in the crypto/NFT space.
