Investors are excited about a potential bull run in 2025.
Some are already searching for the next meme coin sensation ā the coin that could challenge DOGE and SHIB for market dominance.
Three coins, in particular, are generating enormous attention in this regard: Catslap (SLAP), Pepe Unchained (PEPU), and Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT).
Letās look at these coins more closely and discuss why theyāre attracting so much investor interest.
Catslap (SLAP)
The first one is Catslap ā a new meme coin thatās been going viral since its launch on Uniswap last week.
Unlike most meme coins, which are entirely useless, Catslap offers something different: an addictive browser game.
In this game, players can slap animated cats and compete to top the global leaderboard.
At the time of writing, over 6.2 million āslapsā have been completed worldwide.
SLAPās price action has been equally impressive.
After a 1,500% rally in its first 24 hours of being live, SLAP has continued its upward trajectory.
It hit an all-time high of $0.0069 on Sunday morning and has attracted over 5,800 holders.
Just yesterday, one crypto whale invested 7 ETH into SLAP ā roughly $23,000.
With a market cap of over $42 million already and talk of potential CEX listings, Catslap seems primed to keep growing.
Popular crypto analyst Michael Wrubel even speculated it could 50x.
For that reason, many traders are keeping an eye on the SLAP token ahead of a potential bull run next year.
Pepe Unchained (PEPU)
Another meme coin to consider buying is Pepe Unchained.
This project has become one of the yearās biggest presales, raising over $40 million from early investors.
And now, its highly anticipated exchange listing is just 18 days away.
Investors are hyped about this listing, believing it will be the catalyst to send PEPUās price soaring.
Adding to their excitement is Pepe Unchainedās roadmap, which includes launching a layer-2 network just for meme coins.
It aims to offer transactions up to 100 times faster than Ethereum.
Not only that, but the network will come complete with a DEX, developer grants, and even a āPump Padā that simplifies meme coin creation ā much like Pump.fun on Solana.
Top crypto influencers like ClayBro have praised Pepe Unchainedās potential.
In a recent video, he even suggested PEPUās price could 1,000x after it hits the open market.
So, with over 16,000 people active in the projectās Telegram channel, Pepe Unchained looks primed to pump ahead of the 2025 bull run.
Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT)
Lastly, thereās Peanut the Squirrel, a Solana-based meme coin thatās already demonstrated explosive potential.
Launched in early November, PNUT has become a huge success story, and is currently trading around the $1.31 level.
That gives PNUT a market cap of $1.3 billion.
The coinās trading volumes are impressive, with $1.6 billion in spot volume since yesterday, making it the third most traded meme coin in the world.
This level of interest is unusual for a token with no actual use case.
However, Peanut the Squirrelās origin story sets it apart from the competition.
It was inspired by the viral tale of a beloved squirrel that was put down by New York authorities, causing outrage worldwide.
Even Elon Musk tweeted about the story.
When something this big happens, someone inevitably creates a Solana meme coin that pays homage to it.
And PNUT is that meme coin.
With a growing presence on CEXs and a Twitter community of over 48,000 people, Peanut the Squirrel seems well-positioned to maintain its momentum and rally again in the next bull run.
