Memecoins have become a prominent and controversial part of the crypto world. Originally created as jokes or internet-inspired tokens—like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu—these coins have gained massive popularity thanks to viral hype, celebrity endorsements, and online communities. While some see them as fun, community-driven assets with surprising returns, others criticize them as speculative, high-risk tokens with little real-world utility.
The debate around memecoins reflects a broader tension in crypto: between innovation and entertainment, and between serious investment and internet culture. In this article, we will be discussing three memecoins that could break out towards the end of this year. Although many memecoins popped up during our research to find them, we have listed three memecoins, based not just on what has been spoken about on social media platforms or hyped about, but on solid fundamental statistics.
Fartcoin: Brrrrap! What a relief!
Fartcoin is a meme-inspired coin that was introduced into the world of cryptocurrencies to bring some fun and entertainment. Operating on Solana and Base, the fartcoin ‘Brrrraps’ or digitally farts when a transfer happens. Disgusting when the sound is heard, but somehow funny, isn’t it?
On the fundamental side, on-chain data reveals that there are more than 400K unique wallet accounts holding fartcoins. The total supply of Fartcoin is 1 billion, while the market cap is 1.2 billion. The unique wallets that hold fartcoins accumulate to 37%.
The futures open interest has been increasing drastically for Fartcoin. When the open interest increases, it means that more investors are opening new futures contracts with Fartcoin. This shows that confidence in the fartcoin market is growing.
Fartcoin has been distributed across the crypto community. The top 10 holders have 6.26% of the supply, while the top 25 have about 23%. The top 50 holders have 33% fartcoins. Since Fartcoin is well distributed among the crypto community, it is believed to be safe. The higher the concentration of tokens in one place, the greater the risk of pump and dumps and other scams.
BONK the bears, unleash the memes
Bonk Coin is what happens when the internet asks, “What if a dog had its own crypto… but funnier, faster, and furrier?”
Launched on the Solana blockchain, Bonk (BONK) is a meme coin that has a serious bark and even bigger bite, designed to bring community vibes, degenerate energy, and a touch of chaos to Web3. Think of it as Dogecoin’s hyperactive Solana cousin who drinks three cans of energy drink and then starts minting tokens.
It exploded into fame in late 2022, airdropping coins like treats to Solana users and developers—turning skeptics into howling fanboys overnight. BONK’s mascot? A shiba inu, naturally. Its mission? Unleash the memes. Flip the market. And bonk the bears.
BONK has a large community of holders across 92 billion unique wallet addresses and it has a market cap of 2.6 billion. 52% of the wallet addresses are unique.
The BONK total liquidation chart shows that many short positions were liquidated as the price of the token rose. More than $590K worth of short positions were liquidated with BONK’s recent price appreciation of 5% in the last 24 hours.
To check on what was causing BONK’s price increase, we delved into the behavior of BONK holders. The above chart shows that the top 10 BONK owners hold the memecoin for 215 days, while the top 25 holders hold the token for more than 10 months. In addition, the top 50 keep holding onto their BONK tokens for almost a year. When the BONK community holds the tokens, it drains the supply and increases the demand, which eventually increases the prices.
POPCAT: click to make the cat pop
Popcat started as a hilarious and endearing internet meme featuring a cat named Oatmeal. The meme uses two images of the cat—one with its mouth closed, and another photoshopped into a comically wide “O” shape—creating a funny “pop” effect when shown in rapid succession.
This quirky meme inspired Popcat.click, a simple yet addictive clicker game launched in December 2020 by three University of Sheffield students. Each click makes the cat’s mouth “pop” and plays a popping sound. What began as a fun distraction became a viral global phenomenon. Players from countries worldwide competed to rack up clicks on a real-time leaderboard, earning nicknames like “Catlympics” and even inspiring political solidarity in places like Thailand.
The long/short ratio for POPCAT reads a positive value of 0.9, which shows that there are many traders who think that the memecoin will gain value in the future.
In addition to that bullish sentiment, the futures open interest has also been increasing despite the POPCAT prices consolidating and moving sideways. This shows that there is more than just price that the POPCAT community is looking for. The long/short position ratio is positive, and it shows that many are betting on the memecoin to gain value.
With a POPCAT community of 100K on X, the memecoin is on the right track to break out and gain value towards the end of 2025. Popcat coin owners are currently holding on to their tokens according to the chart below.
The top 10 Popcat owner are holding their memecoins on average for more than 5 months. The top 25 holders have held their tokens for nearly 200 days, while the top 50 holders for just over 230 days. Traders hold their tokens, waiting for them to gain value before taking profits.
In fact, the market is currently at its floor level; hence, traders are holding the tokens as they know that the market cap has the potential to rise once again.
Conclusion
Fartcoin, Bonk, and Popcat may sound like the punchline of a crypto joke—but in today’s meme-fueled markets, they’re part of a serious trend. These coins prove that in the world of Web3, community, humor, and virality can sometimes move markets faster than utility alone.
Whether it’s Bonk’s energetic airdrops, Fartcoin’s gas-powered memes, or Popcat’s click-fueled nostalgia, each token taps into the internet’s chaotic soul—blending culture and crypto into something wildly unpredictable. But behind the laughs and memes lies a reminder: meme coins are fun… until they’re not.
