Best Meme Coins to Buy That Could Explode in the Next Bull Run

Bitcoin (BTC) held its recent uptrend after mostly trading around $103,000 this week, as corporate entities are increasingly piling BTC into their treasuries. With publicly traded companies collectively holding around 3.5% of the entire Bitcoin supply (a figure that’s climbing fast), the downstream effect on the broader crypto market has been clearly positive.

Despite mid-week healthy pullbacks for some altcoins, market-wide confidence in crypto remains consistent, with investors now shifting funds into higher-risk crypto assets. One sector reaping the benefits of this bullish backdrop is the meme coin market, which reclaimed a total market cap above $75 billion earlier in Q2.

Daily trading volumes in meme tokens are now exceeding $12 billion, showing renewed enthusiasm among retail traders and even some institutional players. In the past month, Pepe (PEPE) and Floki (FLOKI) both jumped over 90%, and even the original Dogecoin (DOGE) rallied by roughly 45%.

Several macro catalysts could further fuel this upward momentum. The drop in US producer prices last month (driven by lower costs in areas like travel and hospitality) may pave the way for the Federal Reserve to ease monetary policy sooner than anticipated. That could unleash fresh waves of liquidity, and prompt more investors to shift capital into riskier assets like meme coins.

As the bull run picks up speed, investors are scouring the market for promising meme coins with real-world utility. Below, we’ll take a close look at four of the best meme coins ready for explosive growth in the 2025 crypto bull run.

Solaxy

Solaxy (SOLX) is emerging as one of the hottest meme coins of 2025, with its presale raising over $1 million in just the past 48 hours, bringing the total raise to over $37 million. As the first Layer 2 (L2) solution on Solana, Solaxy aims to amplify Solana’s throughput and eliminate the network slowdowns and outages that have plagued it during periods of high traffic.

The new L2 platform will bundle transactions off-chain as needed, before submitting them in batches to the Solana mainnet. By keeping the main chain free of redundant data, Solaxy should help to maintain high-speed, low-fee transactions even under peak usage.

This approach is reminiscent of successful Ethereum-based L2s such as Arbitrum and Optimism—except it’s happening on Solana, where no major Layer 2 has existed until now.

Solaxy also plans to build a bridge between Solana and Ethereum, expanding its reach and enabling cross-chain liquidity. Recent dev updates have confirmed progress on several fronts, including improved roll-up mechanics to ensure low fees and quick transaction confirmations.

Every transaction on the Solaxy L2 will use SOLX as a payment method—and Solaxy’s native coin could potentially offer governing rights to vote on key project decisions.

You can buy SOLX for $0.001726 during the current presale phase, but this price will gradually increase each time a presale milestone is reached. Additionally, Solaxy’s staking portal offers a passive income option with APYs as high as 111% pa.

MIND of Pepe

Next on our list is MIND of Pepe (MIND), a viral new meme coin focusing on a high-potential sector: artificial intelligence. It’s already built and soft-launched an AI-powered trading agent designed to track market trends, identify emerging opportunities, and even launch new tokens based on real-time analysis.

The project’s autonomous agent will scan social media for sentiment shifts, monitor on-chain data for suspicious or bullish token movements, and evaluate liquidity flows on decentralized exchanges. It will then report its findings via the “MIND Terminal” dashboard, which will display in-depth market insights and trading signals and be accessible only to MIND token holders.

Unlike many AI projects stuck at the whitepaper stage, MIND of Pepe released a functioning version of its AI agent last weekend, allowing the development team to iron out any last-minute changes before the MIND presale ends in under two weeks.

If MIND of Pepe decides to create new meme coins that address potential demand, MIND holders will also be able to get in at the earliest sale stage and have a first-mover advantage over the rest of the market.

As of this weekend, the MIND of Pepe token presale has raised around $9.3 million from savvy investors. With approximately two weeks left in the presale (which permanently closes on May 31), traders have a very limited window to buy MIND at its final discounted rate of $0.0037515.

Buyers can stake MIND tokens for an APY of up to 244% even before the coin’s official launch. Since it’s located at the intersection of AI and memes, MIND of Pepe could quickly become a market favorite once it goes live across major exchanges.

Dogecoin

Another top meme coin on our list is Dogecoin (DOGE), the original meme cryptocurrency that has become a household name. It helped to pioneer the concept of a community-driven crypto asset, and attracted a passionate global following from its “Doge Army.”

After struggling against weak price performance earlier this year, DOGE is finally showing an impressive rebound and following the wider market through its Q2 bull run. The meme coin is up almost 70% from its April bottom and is currently finding support at the 200-day EMA (exponential moving average), an indicator that helps gauge an asset’s long-term trend shifts.

If DOGE continues to bounce off this level, it could confirm a sustained uptrend heading deeper into Q2.

A few factors could help DOGE gain even more momentum in the future. The Dogecoin Foundation is working to simplify payment integrations for retailers worldwide, and has introduced an infrastructure project called “Dogebox” to help turn DOGE into a more practical day-to-day payment option. CEX trading volumes are also strong, with as much as $2.3 billion worth of DOGE changing hands in one 24-hour period.

With growing demand from institutions, retail buyers, and commercial enterprises, DOGE should register additional gains whenever capital rotates into meme coins.

FLOKI

FLOKI (FLOKI) is a meme coin inspired by Elon Musk’s Shiba Inu puppy, and has evolved into much more than just another DOGE clone. Its team have integrated DeFi, NFTs, and the metaverse into its platform, all powered by the FLOKI token.

Support from the FLOKI community (the “Floki Vikings”) is quite evident, with over 400,000 holders and two consecutive pumps occurring since mid-April.

Those moves have seen FLOKI break over $0.0001, nearly doubling in value and overcoming its previous downtrend as meme coin optimism returned.

Many traders now view FLOKI as a prime example of a meme coin evolving into a broader ecosystem. The platform’s standout feature is currently Valhalla, a play-to-earn NFT gaming metaverse where FLOKI tokens serve as the in-game currency.

FLOKI’s ecosystem also includes FlokiFi, a DeFi platform offering various yield-earning opportunities. This layered approach makes FLOKI a versatile utility token backed by an expanding lineup of new products.
