With crypto markets surging by 1.4% and the Fear and Greed Index hitting a 60-day high of 72, meme coins are seeing impressive gains.
Bitcoin is currently sitting at an all-time high of $76,000, and meme coins are reaching a 30-day peak, making it an ideal time to consider the top projects in this category.
Here are the top seven meme coin projects to watch and load up on in 2024 as the market shows bullish trends going into 2025.
Pepe Unchained (PEPU)Pepe Unchained is a new project aiming to become the top choice for meme coins on Ethereum. The project is currently running a presale for its native token, $PEPU, and has already raised an impressive $26 million. Investors can purchase $PEPU tokens for $0.01249 each using ETH, USDT, BNB, or a bank card.
$PEPU holders can also use the Pepe Unchained staking app, which offers yields of 91% per year, though this will decrease as more tokens are staked.
The team is developing an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain with speeds 100x faster and much lower fees. Users can access it with their Ethereum wallets, and it focuses on meme coins and meme coin-related apps.
The “Pepe Chain” will offer features such as staking, a block explorer, an Ethereum bridge, a decentralized exchange, advanced analytics, and more.
Pepe Unchained has also launched ‘Pepe Frens with Benefits,’ a grant program to encourage community members to build apps on its Layer-2 network. Grants will open in Q4 of 2024, giving developers a chance to contribute to the growing $PEPU ecosystem.
Recently, Pepe Unchained revealed “Pepe’s Pump Pad,” a meme coin launchpad built directly on its Layer-2 blockchain. The launchpad offers low fees and fast transactions, designed to attract meme coin enthusiasts looking for an easy and cost-effective way to launch and manage their tokens.
With the Layer-2 utility and the new Pump Pad feature, Pepe Unchained could be positioning itself as more than just a meme coin. This is why investors are closely watching the project as its presale nears its end.

Popcat (POPCAT)Next on the list is Popcat (POPCAT), a Solana-based meme coin with the potential to skyrocket in the upcoming mega cycle, which could begin soon. Popcat has shown promising growth, rising nearly 10% over the last day, 23% over the past week, and an impressive 30% over the past month.
Despite this progress, significant pumps have yet to occur, even with Bitcoin reaching all-time highs, indicating that Popcat could truly take off when market momentum builds.
As one of the most popular cat-themed meme coins, Popcat has a strong following of over 75,000 on X, where fans actively engage with its memes and updates.
With a current price of $1.56, Popcat might be on the verge of another breakout, making it a project to consider adding to a portfolio before the next surge.
FreeDum Fighters (DUM)The FreeDum Fighters (DUM) presale has raised $457K, showing strong demand from investors. Right now, investors can buy $DUM for 0.000075, but the price is expected to rise during the ICO. For more information on how to buy FreeDum Fighters tokens, potential investors can refer to our detailed guide.
FreeDum Fighters offers a staking system with two fictional characters—MAGATRON and Kamacop 9000—modeled after the election’s main figures. The staking model changes based on which character gets more support.
MAGATRON supporters currently earn 268.57% APY, while Kamacop 9000 supporters earn a large 698.31% APY, with rates adjusting as support shifts.
This dynamic staking system keeps investors engaged, adding excitement as rewards change with each phase. FreeDum Fighters also encourages community interaction through weekly debates, where token holders can argue for their chosen character.
These debates offer extra rewards, as the most convincing supporters get airdrops, called “covert government funds.” This interactive feature shows that $DUM aims to create an immersive experience where investors feel like active participants.

FLOKI (FLOKI)Next on the list is Floki Inu (FLOKI), a meme coin that has demonstrated staying power since the last bull run. Over the past week, FLOKI rose about 46.53%, with a 26.89% increase over the month and an impressive 400% gain year-to-date.
Even as Bitcoin reaches all-time highs, FLOKI has yet to experience a major pump, unlike many other meme coins that typically rally alongside Bitcoin. This creates an optimal buying opportunity, as FLOKI may be poised for an inevitable surge.
Other top meme coins like Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Pepe, and Bonk have already gained 24%, 10%, 20%, and 12%, respectively, while FLOKI has lagged. Additionally, FLOKI’s play-to-earn game Valhalla is making waves in web and mobile gaming, further boosting its potential.
As a Bronze Sponsor at GeckoCon 2024, set for November 11 in Bangkok, FLOKI continues to highlight exciting developments for the project. Consider adding FLOKI to your portfolio ahead of its anticipated breakout.
Brett (BRETT)The next project to watch is Based Brett (BRETT), a standout token in the Base ecosystem. Represented by the Brett mascot, Based Brett has quickly emerged as one of the ecosystem’s leading projects, showing immense growth potential.
Currently, Based Brett is up by around 13.51% for the week and 34.23% for the past month, signaling steady performance without any major price spikes so far, hinting at possible gains ahead. Recently, Based Brett returned to the high-volume node (HVN) level, indicating strong price action in this area.
While an initial short-term trade succeeded, further confirmation above the yellow box level could signal a more solid entry. Traders may trade around the HVN level for confirmation, setting stop losses below this range.
If favorable conditions align, increasing position sizes may be possible, as technical indicators suggest an upward trend. Based Brett appears primed for growth, making it a token to consider within the Base ecosystem.
