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.

Altcoin Season Countdown: Dogecoin Hits $1.6B Volume, Sui Climbs – Are Penguins Next?

Altcoin Season Countdown: Dogecoin Hits $1.6B Volume, Sui Climbs – Are Penguins Next?

Although the altcoin season index remains subdued, trading behavior suggests pockets of interest are forming. Bitcoin still dominates, but attention is shifting toward select tokens with strong liquidity, real-world activity, or sustained momentum. Dogecoin, Sui, and Pudgy Penguins are among the few making that short list. Dogecoin Holds a Familiar Place Dogecoin (DOGE)’s price is currently about $0.21 , with daily trading volume topping $1.6 billion. The asset remains within range of this summer’s highs, having added modest gains over the past week. Speculation around potential ETF mentions and continued activity from social accounts have kept DOGE in circulation. It hasn’t made technical changes in recent months, but its liquidity and market presence continue to attract short-term traders. Historically, Dogecoin sees inflows early in altcoin season rotations. This pattern may be repeating now as other meme tokens show less consistent volume. Sui Maintains Quiet Strength Sui is trading near $3.67, with a 24-hour volume of more than $1.4 billion and a market cap of roughly $12.9 billion. SUI Price (Source: CoinMarketCap) The protocol has quietly added new integrations for developers and broader ecosystem participants. Recent upgrades have targeted scalability and cross-chain access, and those changes appear to be supporting price stability. Over the past month, SUI has risen by over 25 percent. In a market where volatility is still high and momentum often fades quickly, that level of sustained movement has drawn in traders looking beyond meme tokens. Sui’s technical positioning also contributes to its current appeal. With several smaller dApps launching on its network, the protocol is gaining use without relying on hype cycles. Pudgy Penguins Taps Community Energy Pudgy Penguins (PENGU)’s price is around $0.035 , with a daily volume above $650 million and a total market cap of $2.2 billion. What began as a profile picture NFT collection has expanded. Physical merchandise and Web3 licensing deals have given the brand more market reach. That broader identity now feeds into the token, $PENGU, which has seen spikes in activity tied to product campaigns. Who needs a custom Pengu profile picture?

Pudgy Penguins also maintains a strong presence on social platforms, which continues to drive interaction and visibility. Altcoin Season Remains Fragmented The altcoin season index dives to a sub-40 level and continues to suggest most capital is concentrated in Bitcoin. However, specific tokens are starting to see renewed interest. Dogecoin brings reliable liquidity , Sui offers ongoing protocol development, and Pudgy Penguins merges the community with expanding commercial reach. Altseason behavior isn’t yet widespread. But for traders searching beyond the top two assets, these tokens provide different ways to engage with the market without relying on broad index changes. Rotation, where it exists, is narrow—and for now, mostly concentrated in names with either staying power or unique positioning.

[LIVE] Crypto News Today: Latest Updates for August 07, 2025 – Bitcoin Drifts in Fragile Range as Layer2 and RWA Tokens Outperform

The crypto market is showing mixed signals today, with Bitcoin hovering around $114K and Ethereum briefly breaking above $3,700 before settling slightly lower. BTC is caught in a low-liquidity “air gap” between $110K and $116K, raising concerns about further downside if demand doesn’t return. While Layer2 tokens like Arbitrum and Mantle jumped over 8%, and CeFi assets like BNB and CRO saw modest gains, sectors like Meme, PayFi, and AI posted losses. Market conviction remains weak, with ETF outflows and cautious derivatives activity reflecting a fragile backdrop. But what else is happening in crypto news today?

Pump.fun Surges Past letsBONK.fun to Reclaim Solana Meme Coin Crown – Can It Hold the Lead?

Pump.fun Surges Past letsBONK.fun to Reclaim Solana Meme Coin Crown – Can It Hold the Lead?

After nearly a month of trailing behind, meme coin launchpad Pump.fun has reclaimed its spot at the top of the Solana ecosystem, overtaking rival letsBONK.fun in key performance metrics. The shift marks a new chapter in the increasingly competitive meme coin wars unfolding on Solana. As of August 6, Pump.fun surpassed letsBONK.fun in 24-hour trading volume, revenue, tokens minted, and token graduations. It’s the first time since July 7 that Pump.fun has outpaced letsBONK.fun in daily volume, indicating a strong resurgence in user activity and momentum. Pump.fun Surges Ahead in Volume, Revenue, and Token Launches on Solana On that day alone, Pump.fun recorded over $144.5 million in graduation volume, far ahead of letsBONK.fun’s $34.6 million. Tokens from Pump.fun also posted $525 million in post-graduation trading volume, while tokens from letsBONK.fun recorded $305 million. Source: Dune Analytics/ @adam_tehc This post-graduation volume shows the continued interest in meme coins launched on Pump.fun even after their initial minting. Revenue trends also point to a similar comeback. Pump.fun pulled in $1.38M on August 6, compared to $282,342 for letsBONK.fun. It’s a shift in momentum that breaks a streak held by letsBONK.fun since early July. Source: Dune Analytics/ @adam_tehc However, zooming out to the past seven days, letsBONK.fun still leads in overall revenue, generating $4.55 million compared to Pump.fun’s $2.33 million, according to data from DefiLlama. The volume surge has been mirrored by a spike in new token creation. In the past 24 hours, Pump.fun users minted 23,499 new tokens, outpacing the 6,406 created on letsBONK.fun. Source: Dune Analytics/ @adam_tehc Token graduations, a metric used to gauge which projects are gaining traction and reaching liquidity milestones, also leaned toward Pump.fun. It recorded 170 graduations, while letsBONK.fun saw 71. Source: Dune Analytics/ @adam_tehc Additionally, the data showed that Pump.fun retains a slight advantage in user activity. It engaged 94,172 unique addresses in the past day, compared to 78,617 for letsBONK.fun. The rivalry between the two platforms has defined much of Solana’s meme coin activity over the past two months. letsBONK.fun had taken the lead in early July by building strong community engagement and dominating weekly charts for revenue and token launches. But Pump.fun’s recent resurgence shows that competition remains unpredictable. Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko acknowledged the shift on X, writing, “Competition never ends. There are no moats or free lunches in crypto.” Competition never ends. There are no moats or free lunches in crypto. https://t.co/lcuzpbFk0V — toly 🇺🇸 (@aeyakovenko) August 6, 2025 Since their emergence, both platforms have transformed the way meme coins are launched and traded on Solana. Their rise has turned Solana into one of the most active chains for community-driven token creation, pushing daily on-chain volumes and user activity to new highs. The question now is whether Pump.fun can hold the lead. While its latest numbers are strong, the meme coin launchpad space remains volatile, and dominance can change in a matter of days. For now, Pump.fun has pulled ahead, but as the last month has shown, in Solana’s meme coin wars, nothing stays still for long. Pump.fun Token Outpaces letsBONK.fun Token Amid Shifting Sentiment in Solana Meme Coin Market Pump.fun is showing signs of renewed momentum in the Solana meme coin ecosystem, with its $PUMP token emerging as one of the market’s top performers. At time of writing, $PUMP traded at $0.003425, marking a 3.1% gain in 24 hours and 32.3% over the week, outperforming the broader crypto market, which fell by 2.10% in the same period, according to CoinGecko.

Graphite Protocol ($GP), the infrastructure token behind letsBONK.fun, declined 16.2% in a day and over 50% for the week. $USELESS, a key meme coin on the platform, is also down more than 7%. Source: CoinGecko Pump.fun’s resurgence appears tied to recent developments, including the launch of a public revenue dashboard on August 4. In the days leading up to it, the platform used roughly $8,740 worth of SOL to buy back $PUMP, equivalent to 102% of its revenue over that period. introducing the pump fun revenue dashboard 🔥 pump fun's daily revenues & $PUMP purchases can now be tracked in real time using https://t.co/fxyCTVUuBj in the past 6 days, pump fun purchased ~8,740 SOL worth of $PUMP , equating to 102% of total revenue over that time period. pic.twitter.com/xWxy85en7t — pump.fun (@pumpdotfun) August 4, 2025 The platform has also been preparing a new rewards program intended to boost engagement, though details remain undisclosed.
