Meme

Meme coins are community-driven cryptocurrencies inspired by internet culture, social media trends, and viral humor. While often volatile, they represent the "social layer" of crypto, fostering massive, highly engaged communities. In 2026, the meme sector has evolved beyond speculative trading into community-led incubators and fair-launch platforms on chains like Solana. Follow this tag to analyze market sentiment, viral tokenomics, and the cultural impact of assets like DOGE, PEPE, and the next generation of social tokens.

These 3 Dogecoin (DOGE) Competitors Will Turn $2000 into $15,000 in 2025

These 3 Dogecoin (DOGE) Competitors Will Turn $2000 into $15,000 in 2025

The post These 3 Dogecoin (DOGE) Competitors Will Turn $2000 into $15,000 in 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Dogecoin has proudly carried the meme-investing banner for years, but many traders now feel the coin’s parabolic growth days are over. Sure, DOGE can still give you some gradual gains, but its bloated market cap makes the meteoric returns that early holders saw practically impossible.  Because of that, investors are now eyeing newer contenders that mix a compelling story, next-gen tech, and the kind of buzz that gets communities fired up. Three coins in particular are garnering buzz in 2025: Little Pepe (LILPEPE), Kaspa (KAS), and Ethena (ENA). Analysts are confident these tokens could rise 10× in the next boom—meaning a $2,000 investment might transform into $15,000. Little Pepe (LILPEPE): Meme Culture Meets Infrastructure Little Pepe is one of the hottest names in the meme coin world for 2025. Right now, it’s in Stage 11 of its presale, priced at $0.002 a coin. What makes this different from older meme coins? While others rely only on buzz, Little Pepe is busy creating fundamental blockchain tools you’ll use day-to-day. MemeChain is an Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 network built just for meme tokens. It offers super low fees, lightning-fast final transaction times, and special features like anti-sniping bot guards. These tools help keep token launches fair for everyone, especially investors. Plus, the brand-new Meme Launchpad is coming soon. With it, developers can create and grow brand-new meme tokens directly on Little Pepe’s network. Because of this, Little Pepe (LILPEPE) is quickly becoming the foundation of the meme coin economy. What’s exciting about this project is its commitment to fair launch values: no special wallets for the team, zero taxes on trades, and smart locks on liquidity. That means no backdoor deals and no sneaky fees—just clear honesty that you usually only wish for in meme coins.  For investors seeking high-risk, high-reward upside, Little…

Are Dogecoin bulls setting a bear trap ahead of $0.25 test?

Are Dogecoin bulls setting a bear trap ahead of $0.25 test?

The post Are Dogecoin bulls setting a bear trap ahead of $0.25 test? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Dogecoin whales added 1.35 billion DOGE, anchoring support at $0.20. With 66% of accounts short and leverage stacked near $0.22, DOGE looked primed for a bear-trap squeeze that could push toward $0.25. Dogecoin [DOGE] rose 0.96% off the $0.18 base, holding $0.20. Even with three fresh lower lows in August, price action kept snapping back, hinting at a stubborn bid wall that refused to give way. Naturally, that gave DOGE a technical edge. In a choppy tape where even Ripple [XRP] has rolled over 3.65% on the month, slipping under the key $3 level, DOGE’s structural resilience looks like quiet accumulation under the surface. Source: TradingView (DOGE/USDT) On top of that, Dogecoin’s dominant whale cohort (100 million – 1 billion wallets) loaded up 1.35 billion DOGE in the first half of August, lifting holdings to a yearly peak of 27.65 billion. Zooming in, the Cost-Basis Heatmap flagged nearly 9 billion DOGE anchored in the $0.20–$0.21 zone. In turn, making it one of the densest clusters on the board. That means a huge chunk of supply has been defending this level. Put together, DOGE looked less like it was drifting sideways and more like it was coiling. In fact, the tape seemed primed for a squeeze that could catch the market offside once risk-on flows returned. Short clusters signal DOGE setting up a bear trap As Dogecoin bulls shift into defense, they may be baiting a trap for the shorts. However, Perp Markets across major exchanges show a lopsided structure. Nearly 66% of accounts are running short, marking a crowded play that fits the risk-off tape and has traders leaning pullback.  That said, this is where DOGE’s edge became clear. In fact, the $0.20 bid wall holds firm, and with a fat short cluster sitting at $0.22 packing $2.82…

For Long-Term ROI, Is XRP Safer, or Is MAGAX More Promising?

For Long-Term ROI, Is XRP Safer, or Is MAGAX More Promising?

The post For Long-Term ROI, Is XRP Safer, or Is MAGAX More Promising? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP’s Stability vs. MAGAX’s Explosive Growth Potential XRP has been part of the crypto landscape for over a decade, built to solve a real-world problem—fast, low-cost international payments. Unlike many tokens that thrive only on speculation, XRP targeted banks and payment providers early, making Ripple a recognized name in global finance. For many, XRP stands as a stable choice in a volatile market. Yet stability comes with limits. With such a large market cap, XRP’s growth potential is capped compared to emerging projects. This is where MAGAX enters the conversation—an early-stage Meme-to-Earn token with cultural momentum and presale buzz that could deliver the kind of explosive upside XRP can no longer match. The Growth Ceiling Problem for XRP With a market cap already stretching into the tens of billions, XRP faces a scaling challenge. Doubling or tripling in price requires enormous inflows—billions more in liquidity. For investors seeking 10x, 50x, or even 100x returns, that level of growth becomes difficult. XRP’s advantage is steadiness, but steadiness often limits the upside. In contrast, a token in its infancy, still priced for accumulation, doesn’t need a tidal wave of capital to create massive percentage gains. This is why early-stage assets, despite higher risk, can often surpass long-established giants in ROI. Introducing MAGAX: A New Angle on Memecoins MAGAX is not trying to compete with XRP’s payment rails. Instead, it’s tackling a different market: the culture economy of memes and online communities. Its “Meme-to-Earn” model turns internet virality into actual rewards for users, allowing creators and amplifiers to earn by participating in cultural moments. This approach matters because memes are not just jokes, they drive attention, traffic, and adoption in crypto. Dogecoin and Shiba Inu also proved this, but MAGAX goes further by building incentives directly into its ecosystem. It doesn’t just ride…

Zora updates coin guidelines after ZachXBT calls out Sahil collab

Zora updates coin guidelines after ZachXBT calls out Sahil collab

The post Zora updates coin guidelines after ZachXBT calls out Sahil collab appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Zora is now “hiding” sketchy coins under new guidelines after the Coinbase-backed crypto firm was ridiculed for promoting a fake Tyson Fury account and apparently planning to collaborate with an alleged serial rug artist.  Zora announced on X that any coins breaking community guidelines will be hidden and yet remain available to buy, sell, or transfer.  If you own one of these coins, it will appear in your wallet with a scam warning that says it is hidden “due to impersonation, offensive content, or your settings.” Zora is on damage control after the crypto sleuth ZachXBT revealed screenshots showing higher-ups from Zora and Coinbase planning to collaborate with Sahil Arora to onboard users onto the platform. Why did your team and Jesse from Coinbase engage at all with Sahil to begin with? His list of celebrity coin rug pulls on Solana is well documented on X by CT and on YT by Coffeezilla so a quick search would have revealed warnings. pic.twitter.com/9eXUfgfSP6 — ZachXBT (@zachxbt) August 25, 2025 Read more: Caitlyn Jenner says Sahil Arora ‘f*cked with too many powerful people’ Arora is known in the crypto space for his various celebrity-linked rug pulls involving the singer Jason Derulo, media personality Caitlyn Jenner, and rapper Iggy Azalea, to name a few. He reportedly made $30 million last year, and he has bragged about his seemingly safe position under Donald Trump’s lax crypto regulation. Coinbase’s Jesse Pollak willing to look past scams Screenshots of an alleged exchange between the head of Coinbase’s “Base App,” Jesse Pollak, and Arora show Pollak recommending that Arora should drop the “bad guy positioning,” and later said he was excited to see Sahil’s “positive impact.” In one apparent email with Zora co-founder Jacob Horne and Head of Partnerships Zak Krevitt, Arora claimed he onboarded the boxer…

Rinse, Rug, Repeat: Deconstructing the Modern Memecoin Playboo

Rinse, Rug, Repeat: Deconstructing the Modern Memecoin Playboo

rom the vantage point of seven years across exchanges, media, and infrastructure in this space, you learn to recognize patterns. The technology evolves, the narratives shift, but the cycles of human greed remain remarkably consistent. We are currently in a cycle dominated by celebrity-endorsed memecoins, a frothy, dangerous casino that promises generational wealth but often delivers systemic exploitation. And if you’ve been on the losing end, you’ve likely contributed to the profits of operators who have mastered this new, predatory playbook. To understand this system, we need to look no further than the on-chain trail of Hayden Davis, also known as Kelsier of Kelsier Ventures. His alleged activities provide a perfect blueprint for how insiders weaponize hype, manipulate nascent markets, and drain liquidity, leaving retail investors as the final bagholders. This isn’t just about one person; it’s about a repeatable model that betrays the first principles of Web3. The Anatomy of the Hunt The playbook is both simple and devastatingly effective. It has three core phases: Infiltration and Pre-Positioning: The operator gains proximity to a major cultural figure — a politician, a musician, a celebrity. Before any public announcement, a network of insider wallets acquires a significant portion of the token supply at virtually zero cost. This is the critical, unseen setup. We saw this with the $MELANIA token, where Davis himself admitted to shaping the launch strategy, while on-chain data later revealed a cohort of wallets loading up moments before the public could. Manufacturing Legitimacy and Hype: The token is launched, wrapped in the borrowed credibility of the celebrity. In the case of the $LIBRA token, linked to Argentine President Javier Milei, Davis went as far as positioning himself as a “blockchain and AI advisor” to the president. This creates a powerful narrative that overrides traditional due diligence. Retail investors see a famous name and rush in, creating the parabolic price surge the insiders were waiting for. The Exit: As public buying reaches a fever pitch, the insiders execute their exit with brutal precision. They dump their pre-mined tokens into the market, crashing the price. In the most egregious cases, like the $LIBRA collapse where the market cap bled $4.6 billion in six hours, the team goes a step further by pulling tens of millions in USDC and SOL directly from the liquidity pool. The game is over. Insiders walk away with fortunes; the public is left with a worthless asset and a painful lesson. The Cycle Continues This is not a historical account. The cycle is accelerating. The latest analysis from on-chain forensics platform Bubblemaps suggests the same operator may have just run this playbook on the $YZY token, launched by Kanye West, to the tune of a $12 million profit in a single night. The names change, but the mechanics remain the same. A celebrity’s cultural capital is converted into market hype, which is then systematically drained by insiders who were positioned from the start. A Betrayal of First Principles What makes this cycle so corrosive is that it uses the very tools of Web3 — decentralized exchanges, permissionless token creation, and public ledgers — to perpetrate the oldest forms of financial manipulation. The promise of Web3 was to create fairer, more transparent systems. Instead, in the memecoin arena, transparency has merely given us a clearer view of the crime after it has occurred. As an industry, we must decide what we want to be. Will we continue to celebrate these short-term, extractive cycles, or will we build systems resilient to them? Until we prioritize sustainable value over manufactured hype, the playbook will be run again and again. The only question is who the next celebrity will be, and how many more retail investors will become their exit liquidity.

Canary Capital Seeks SEC Approval for ETF on President Trump’s Memecoin

Canary Capital Seeks SEC Approval for ETF on President Trump’s Memecoin

Asset manager Canary Capital has submitted an S-1 registration with the U.S. SEC to launch an exchange-traded fund (ETF) tied to President Donald Trump’s memecoin, TRUMP. This move would give investors regulated exposure to one of the most politically driven tokens in the crypto market. Trump Coin ETF Filing The proposed Trump Coin ETF will track the price of TRUMP, a memecoin launched in January ahead of Trump’s inauguration. The fund would allow investors to buy the token through traditional brokerage accounts instead of relying solely on crypto exchanges. Notably, as of today, TRUMP ranks among the six biggest meme coins in the crypto market. It has a market cap of $1.67 billion and a price of $8.37. During the peak of the frenzy around TRUMP in January, the coin rose to become the second biggest meme coin, trailing only Dogecoin, with its price then at $75. As of today, it is trading at a staggering 89% below its all-time high.  Meanwhile, multiple asset managers see potential in the coin as they file for ETFs related to it. Notably, details such as management fees and the listing venue were not disclosed in the filing. American-Made Crypto ETF Application Alongside the Trump filing, Canary also applied for an “American-Made Crypto ETF” under the ticker MRCA. This product would track an index of U.S.-rooted cryptocurrencies such as XRP, Solana, Cardano, Chainlink, and Stellar, while excluding memecoins, stablecoins, and pegged tokens. The fund plans to add staking rewards to its net asset value through third-party providers. Custody would be operated by a South Dakota trust company, with most assets stored in cold wallets. SEC’s Delays on Crypto Funds The filings come as the SEC continues to extend decision deadlines on multiple digital asset ETFs. New review dates for XRP, Solana, and Truth Social-linked funds now run into October 2025. Canary itself has several pending ETF applications tied to SOL, XRP, SUI, TRX, and PENGU, all still awaiting review. While recent SEC guidance has clarified staking and custody rules, approvals remain slow-moving.
