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 Returns: SHIB Climbs 15%, BONK 140%, and ADA Nears $1

Altcoin Season Returns: SHIB Climbs 15%, BONK 140%, and ADA Nears $1

As Bitcoin dominance continues to slide in Q3 2025, traders are shifting focus to altcoins with outsized potential. In this altcoin season , previously dismissed tokens are regaining momentum. Shiba Inu and Bonk represent a renewed wave of meme coin speculation, while Cardano is attracting capital on institutional narratives. Together, the three tokens indicate a market phase driven by a mix of hype, community strength, and real development, where sentiment cycles are moving faster than ever. Shiba Inu: More Than a Meme SHIB is trading at $0.00001367 with a market cap of $8 billion and a 24-hour volume of nearly $462 million. While often still called a meme coin, SHIB has quietly built out an ecosystem. The Shibarium Layer-2 network supports DeFi, NFTs, and dApps. SHIB is also used for gas fees, marking a clear move toward functionality. Recent community DAO proposals and staking integrations have added to its infrastructure. Whale wallets have increased holdings by over 600% in recent weeks, according to CryptoRank. On LunarCrush, SHIB recorded 6,400+ mentions and nearly 350,000 engagements in July. These figures, paired with a 15% monthly gain, suggest that SHIB may be evolving into a hybrid token: part-meme, part-platform. In this cycle, that blend may be what keeps it relevant. Bonk: Taking Over in Altcoin Season BONK is trading at $0.000034 with a $2.76 billion market cap and a 24-hour volume of over $1.6 million. 🧠 Ready to unlock the full power of Cardano indexing?

Though it began as a meme, BONK’s utility in liquidity provisioning and in-game use cases has grown. Exchange support has expanded, and burn campaigns have supported scarcity narratives. Social activity remains high, with whale wallets rotating in and out, suggesting both speculation and trend-based trading. It has gained nearly 140% in the past 30 days, and despite volatility, BONK appears to be maturing in tandem with Solana’s broader ecosystem rebound. If the altcoin season truly returns in the second half of 2025, BONK could deliver competitive performance. Cardano: Utility Anchored in Narrative ADA is trading at $0.81 with a $29 billion market cap and $2.4 billion in daily volume. 🧠 Ready to unlock the full power of Cardano indexing?

The Hydra Layer-2 scaling protocol is operational, and the Mithril fast-sync update is now live. Voltaire governance milestones are also progressing, giving token holders greater control. Stablecoin activity is increasing. Djed and USDA are both active, contributing to on-chain liquidity. Unlike meme coins, ADA benefits from long-tail trust, and its current breakout mirrors their trend, showing how retail and institutional flows can align. Altcoin Season: Attention is Allocation SHIB, BONK, and ADA sit at different points on the speculation-to-utility spectrum. But all are benefiting from renewed flows in a fast-rotating market. Meme energy, protocol upgrades, and community activation have all contributed. As altcoin season accelerates, attention is proving to be a proxy for momentum. And for now, these three tokens have it. Retail enthusiasm is rising alongside deeper on-chain activity, suggesting this altseason is no longer limited to quick pumps. Instead, even legacy tokens are evolving under market pressure, blending narrative, utility, and engagement. When volatility returns, SHIB, BONK, and ADA show the different ways tokens can stay relevant. Whether driven by community, use case, or trader momentum, they remain in rotation—at least for now.

PUMP Crashes 14% Below ICO Price After Founder Rules Out Airdrop

PUMP Crashes 14% Below ICO Price After Founder Rules Out Airdrop

PUMP, the native token of Pump.Fun, dropped over 14% in 24 hours after founder Alon Cohen confirmed that there is no immediate token airdrop. During a live with Michael “ThreadGuy” Jerome, Alon noted that the PUMP airdrop “is not going to be taking place in the immediate future.” He added that the team will inform investors of any details or timelines once they become available. Allon speaks about the pumpfun airdrop live on threadguy stream, "We want to reward OG pumpfun users" pic.twitter.com/gdfE7H4oRV — ً (@0xsyste) July 23, 2025 Alon noted that the company aims to reward the community that helped build a platform with the airdrop. “We want to make sure that it is a meaningful airdrop and it is executed well,” Alon said. “We’re actually focusing on bringing back a lot of that attention and hype to our ecosystem. That being said, the airdrop is not going to be taking place in the immediate future.” The memecoin launchpad initially priced its token at $0.004 during its ICO, representing 12.5% of the total 1 trillion supply. PUMP hit its all-time high (ATH) on the first day of trading, July 16, at $0.0068. Since then, the token has dropped by roughly 50%. PUMP Downward Scenario – What Can Investors Expect? According to the founder, the platform prioritizes long-term development over short-term incentives, emphasizing fair airdrop launch protocols. However, declining user activity has raised questions about the short-term Pump.Fun price prediction, considering PUMP’s distribution and current trading volumes. As a result, the token plummeted more than 40% in the last 7 days, according to CoinMarketCap data . The overall market cap of the token is down 14% and it is currently trading at $0.0031 at press time. Further, Lookonchain revealed that Jeffrey Huang, commonly known as Machi Big Brother, has added more to his PUMP long position, despite the token’s steep decline. His long position has been down over $5.8 million. As $PUMP keeps dropping, Machi Big Brother( @machibigbrother )'s $PUMP long position is now down over $5.8M, but he is still doubling down and adding more to his $PUMP long positions. https://t.co/T0DJNDGd53 pic.twitter.com/w3aDcxxCgD — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) July 24, 2025 Besides, 2 wallets linked to private sale investors sold more than 1.2 billion PUMP at $0.003 in the past two hours. This has resulted in a loss of $1.19 million. https://x.com/lookonchain/status/1948189406244012305 The PUMP token’s value is now likely to be driven by the platform’s core utility rather than airdrop-driven hype. In the immediate term, PUMP holders should anticipate market volatility as investors adjust to the revised n
