It’s been a rough patch lately for meme coins, but the tides are shifting — fast. In the past 24 hours, the meme coin gang is showing serious signs of life, with several posting solid double-digit gains. From the OGs like DOGE and SHIB to the newcomers BONK and PENGU, green candles are lighting up the charts again.
Meme Coin Mayhem: BONK Eyes $1B Cap (Again)
Let’s start with BONK — yeah, that Solana-based community-driven rocket ship. BONK just shot up by nearly 13% in a single day, putting it back on the edge of a billion-dollar market cap. It hit $0.00001252, and now it’s knocking on the door with a valuation north of $970 million. That makes it the second fastest-growing crypto in the top 100, only trailing XDC from the XinFin Network, which edged out a 13.1% gain.
DOGE, SHIB, PEPE Also Riding the Wave
It’s not just BONK having fun. Dogecoin (DOGE) popped up 3.3%, now trading around $0.1623. Meanwhile, Shiba Inu (SHIB) inched up 2.8% to $0.00001227. And Pepe (PEPE)? It’s back in the top 40, climbing 3.7% to $0.000007081. Yep, frogs are hopping again.
Solana’s meme coin ecosystem, plus a few AI-themed ones, seem to be stealing the spotlight too — seeing 14% to 16% gains on average.
Newcomers Climb: PENGU & WIF See Big Gains
While the big names are cruising, smaller players are making louder moves. Pengu (PENGU) and Dogwifhat (WIF)soared 12–13%, making them some of the day’s most impressive runners.
Meanwhile, others like Pi Network (PI), Sei (SEI), and Flare (FLR) also enjoyed 8–12% increases.
But not everyone’s winning — Toncoin (TON) actually slipped 1.1%, even though the broader crypto market cap is growing. And Hedera (HBAR), Eos (EOS), Story (IP), and Cosmos (ATOM) also closed in the red.
