5 Best Meme Coins to Ride the Next Wave of Market-Wide Uptrend

After dipping below a recent high of $105,000, Bitcoin (BTC) is still flashing bullish signals as it hovers around the $103,000 mark.

After dipping below a recent high of $105,000, Bitcoin (BTC) is still flashing bullish signals as it hovers around the $103,000 mark. The global cryptocurrency market cap now stands over $3 trillion, while the market’s Fear & Greed Index is in the ‘greed’ zone.

Several macro drivers have supported this momentum, with spot Bitcoin ETF daily trade volumes surging past $2.7 billion in May, and their total valuation hitting $122 billion. At the same time, the US Federal Reserve is hinting at stable interest rates, and inflation readings are cooling off, collectively boosting appetite for riskier assets like crypto.

This risk-on sentiment has also extended to meme coins, as Dogecoin (DOGE) rebounded over the psychological $0.2 level after a slightly shaky start to the month. The largest meme coin’s daily trading volumes have now surged to over $2.8 billion, partially due to whales stockpiling over 1 billion DOGE during its latest bull run.

Dogecoin’s bounce and rally has fueled an upbeat tone across the meme coin market. Keeping this in mind, here are five of the best meme coins that could ride the next wave of a market-wide uptrend.

MIND of Pepe

MIND of Pepe (MIND) is a presale-stage meme token that blends two popular themes: the Pepe the Frog meme, and the rapidly expanding AI agent sector. While most meme coins rely solely on pop-culture references or jokes, MIND of Pepe is taking things further by introducing an autonomous AI with multiple use cases.

The project’s AI agent, which launched on May 10 on X, will continuously learn from social media channels (like X and Telegram) to identify emerging meme coin trends.

MIND of Pepe will then automatically generate new tokens or trades if it identifies genuine market demand or profitable viral opportunities. It’s worth noting that MIND token holders will get early access to the AI’s new token launches.

As the most experienced investors in the market highlight the potential of AI-themed meme coins, MIND of Pepe’s presale has already raised over $9.5 million.

The MIND token is currently available for just $0.0037515, with only 11 days until the presale wraps up on May 31. Early buyers have already staked over 1.4 billion MIND tokens to earn high annual rewards (currently set at up to 238% APY).

A recent Q1 2025 report by CoinGecko showed that six of the top 20 crypto narratives this year were meme-related, and five were tied to AI. MIND of Pepe targets both of those sectors, potentially giving it a long-term edge over other meme coins.

BTC Bull Token

Another high-upside meme coin to watch is BTC Bull Token (BTCBULL), a new presale project that will offer real Bitcoin rewards when BTC’s price reaches key thresholds. Investors are flocking to its presale as analysts back Bitcoin’s next leg up—particularly as crypto ETFs gain mainstream attention.

BTC Bull Token is the first meme coin project to offer BTC-linked milestone-based rewards. To put things into perspective, when Bitcoin first reaches $150,000 or $200,000, BTC Bull Token holders will receive direct BTC airdrops in proportion to their BTCBULL token holdings.

At specific BTC price milestones (like $125,000, $175,000, and $225,000), the project will burn a chunk of the BTCBULL supply, aiming to boost the scarcity of BTCBULL tokens.

BTCBULL holders will also get an exclusive BTCBULL token airdrop when Bitcoin crosses $250,000 for the first time—and early buyers can stake BTCBULL for an APY of up to 69%. These features offer two simple and effortless ways to grow your BTC Bull Token holdings, and receive passive income.

So far, BTCBULL’s presale has drawn nearly $6 billion from early investors, with the token currently priced around $0.00252. The presale will continue raising the token’s price in stages until all tokens allocated to the presale have been sold.

As Bitcoin’s price climbs and draws mainstream coverage, especially with BTC holdings by public companies and ETFs continuing to grow, BTC Bull Token stands to leverage the trend by directly rewarding holders in actual Bitcoin.

Shiba Inu

Shiba Inu (SHIB) started as a Dogecoin rival, and then evolved into a massive and unique ecosystem that turned SHIB into the second-largest meme token by market cap. SH
