Major meme coin projects now boast a collective valuation of $71 billion as the space gears up for what might be its most significant rally ever.

See, when crypto gains momentum, major meme coins don’t just follow — they frequently lead the charge.

Here are three of the most exciting meme coins with the kind of upside potential that could eventually net 10X or 100X returns for those that back sooner rather than later.

Pepe ($PEPE): Could It Be the First Pepe-Themed Token to Reach $1?

Pepe ($PEPE), a digital asset inspired by Matt Furie’s Pepe the Frog, established itself as one of the top three meme coins by November 2024 — a status it has maintained to this day.

Launched in April 2023, $PEPE gave rise to numerous imitators, but none have matched its staying power or cultural impact.

Trading at $0.00001279 following a 77% surge over the last 30 days, $PEPE now boasts a $5.38 billion market cap, making it the largest meme coin that isn’t dog-themed by far, more than double the $2.5 billion market cap of the Official TRUMP coin of the US Presidency.

Like Dogecoin and other major meme coins, technical patterns point to a possible breakout from a descending wedge — a formation that often precedes an upward price movement.

$PEPE currently faces stiff resistance at its current level, a price barrier that proved difficult to overcome in the latter half of 2024.

A broader crypto rebound could give $PEPE the boost needed to reclaim and surpass its all-time high of $0.00002803 back in December— leaving supporters optimistic about the future.

Bonk ($BONK): Solana’s Standout Dog-Themed Token Could Be on the Verge of a Breakout

Finally, Bonk ($BONK), Solana’s flagship canine coin, launched on Christmas Day in 2022 — and within 48 hours, Solana’s native $SOL token surged 34%, kickstarting a festive rally that delighted the Solana community.

Since then, BONK has become embedded within Solana’s decentralized ecosystem, serving roles in tipping, payments, trading bots, and even as collateral for meme-based tokens and NFTs.

Chart analysis reveals a descending wedge pattern that has formed since late November — a classic bullish signal that often precedes price breakouts.

Should the broader crypto recovery hold, BONK could aim for $0.00003, a historically significant resistance point seen throughout 2024.

Now trading at $0.00001899, BONK remains about 66.5% beneath its all-time high of $0.00005825, which it hit on November 20, 2024.

Given the right market conditions, BONK could set a new ATH by summer.
