With Musk continuously posting, retweeting, and replying to 5 tweets about Pepe-related memes, PEPE's market capitalization surpassed $10 billion, hitting a historic high. Previously, DOGE's price had been climbing, and after PEPE broke the $10 billion market cap to reach a historic high, Musk opened up the imagination for animal memes. Perhaps, besides AI memes, animal memes are also worth focusing on in this bullish market. We have prepared for you the next meme coin most likely to explode and see its market cap soar to $10 billion, which may yield good alpha returns in the bull market.
1. FLOKI (FLOKI)
Floki originates from Musk's content posted on the X platform: 'My shiba inu will be named floki.' Unlike other animal meme projects, FLOKI is a token that has a metaverse game, NFT ecosystem, and blockchain lending functions.
Reasons for optimism:
1. Besides its meme attributes, it is committed to building its own ecosystem. First, Floki's flagship metaverse blockchain game Valhalla mainnet will be launched in the first quarter of next year; second, Floki has announced that its debit card has officially launched, allowing users to use cryptocurrency assets at merchants worldwide accepting VISA or Mastercard; third, the total locked value of Floki's crypto lock protocol FlokiFi Locker once reached $165.6 million, currently reported at $52 million.
2. Token airdrops for FLOKI holders. FLOKI has already received two token airdrops in the second half of this year, namely the CAT token and the MONKY token.
2. Brett (BRETT)
Inspired by characters from Matt Furie's Boy's Club comic series, which also gave birth to the infamous Pepe the Frog meme. This token has formed a specific audience group within the cryptocurrency community.
Reasons for optimism:
1. The leading animal meme in the Base chain. From the perspectives of market capitalization and community popularity, BRETT is considered the leading animal meme in the Base ecosystem.
2. BRETT has been listed on Binance contracts and Upbit spot. BRETT is one of the few animal memes from the Base ecosystem to be listed on mainstream exchanges. It is worth mentioning that BRETT was listed on Upbit alongside PEPE.
3. Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT)
PNUT originates from a controversy surrounding the euthanasia of the internet celebrity squirrel Peanut, which, with the 'push' from public figures like Musk, has evolved into a public opinion weapon stirring up the US elections.
Reasons for optimism:
1. The first animal meme coin to go live on Binance spot in this round of meme bull market;
2. The internet celebrity squirrel stirring up the US elections. Peanut's controversy has evolved into a campaign against the Democratic Party and has even been used as a public opinion weapon in political struggles. Currently, Trump has been confirmed as the next president, and there may be more hype in the future.
4. DOG•GO•TO•THE•MOON (DOG)
The entire project was initiated by @LeonidasNFT, who is currently the absolute community leader. Although DOG·GO·TO·THE·MOON appears to be an 'animal coin' on the surface, it is actually focused on fair narratives. Leonidas is crazily leading the community to communicate with various CEXs, conveying the process and spirit of fair distribution of DOG in the entire Bitcoin ecosystem.
Reasons for optimism:
1. The leading animal meme in the BTC ecosystem. From the perspectives of market capitalization and community popularity, BRETT is the leading animal meme in the BTC ecosystem. If market attention towards the Bitcoin ecosystem heats up again in the future, DOG's price will have significant gains.
5. Neiro (NEIRO)
Project introduction:
NEIRO is the name of a rescue dog recently adopted by the deceased Dogecoin prototype Shiba Inu internet celebrity Kabosu's owner. Once made public, this name became the new favorite of MEME, as people tried to replicate the miracle of Dogecoin. Multiple tokens with the same name have been issued simultaneously on public chains like Ethereum and Solana. (For detailed content about the topic of Neiro's case sensitivity, see: Neiro and NEIRO both listed on Binance, is there a turning point for the meme coin track?)
Reasons for optimism:
1. Lowercase Neiro is a typical case of community victory. Lowercase Neiro is genuinely first is first, but the 'conspiracy group' later issued uppercase NEIRO and listed it on Binance contracts first. However, with the continuous announcements from the community, and Sun Yuchen promoting lowercase Neiro, emphasizing that cryptocurrencies should belong to the community and respecting the community, the price of lowercase Neiro has been rising continuously after it went live on Binance spot, defeating uppercase NEIRO.
6. Moo Deng (MOODENG)
In September, an ugly and cute hippo Moo Deng became a sensation online, making headlines in various media. It was born at a Thai open zoo called Khao Kheow and, at just two months old, became a new social media darling due to its distinctive face and amusing videos. Naturally, the buzz in the cryptocurrency circle also joined in, with the same-name meme first appearing on Solana on September 11.
Reasons for optimism:
1. MOODENG was listed on Coinbase and has the potential to be listed on Binance.
2. One of the few native animal memes in this round, with extremely high discussion levels in overseas communities, has the potential to reignite the craze for animal memes.
