MOG is a popular meme token launched on Ethereum’s layer-1 blockchain. Since this currency is purely driven by community and internet hype, it’s very volatile and difficult to predict. However, with the recent Coinbase announcement, MOG is expected to see some major growth. On December 3, Coinbase announced that MOG would be added to its listing roadmap. Soon after that, its value increased by more than 20%, bringing its total market cap close to $1 billion. It is now ranked among one of the top 150 currencies in the industry. This is the best time to invest in MOG coins before it gets too late. In the meantime, we also have some other coin recommendations that are expected to go through a similar surge very soon. Do check those out. 4 Other Meme Coins To Keep An Eye On If you feel you’ve missed the MOG rally, here are four other meme coins with good potential returns. 1. Cat Slap Cat Slap, whose official token is $SLAP, is going through some massive growth right now. It is an Ethereum-based meme coin inspired by the angry cat-slapping meme. Within the first 48 hours of being listed, its value jumped by 2000%. Right now, its total market cap is $33 million. Yes, it’s less but that makes it all the more investment-worthy. Tokens with high market cap often hit a saturation point, reducing the chances of making massive profits. What makes this the best time to invest in $SLAP is that it recently received an investment from Jump Trading – one of the most respected crypto trading firms. This might push $SLAP’s value even higher. So invest before it’s too late. 2. PEPU PEPU is the official token of Pepe Unchained. Right now, it’s in the final days of its presale and has already managed to raise $64 million. This leaves interested users with only a few days in hand to get the tokens at a discounted rate. But the question is, is it really worth it? Well, we think it is. It’s not just a regular token. Pepe Unchained is actually building a Layer-2 blockchain that makes up for the shortcomings of the Ethereum network. We are all familiar with the network clogs that blockchains sometimes face. The transaction becomes slow and expensive and the investor might miss out on a bunch of amazing opportunities. Pepe Unchained, on the other hand, will be fast and cheap, providing a much simpler trading experience. Right now, its average price is $0.012 and by 2025, it’s expected to hit an average price of $0.020 which is roughly a 67% jump. 3. POPCAT POPCAT has also had a very positive year. For those who don’t know, this is a cat meme token, inspired by a viral cat named Oatmeal. It’s currently listed at $1.64. It was launched in December last year but it wasn’t until March 2024 that it started getting attention. After that, it has been an entirely uphill journey. Within 7 months, it grew by 400%. If it continues at this rate, we can easily expect a jump of more than 450% in 2025. 4. Flockerz Flockerz is another popular meme token that’s trending at the moment. It’s a type of vote-to-earn platform where users can earn FLOCK tokens by voting on simple decisions. For instance, let’s say they ask the users whether Flockerz should be listed on a certain exchange. Users can vote yes or no, and regardless of the outcome, they will receive some tokens. 25% of the total token supply is kept for such rewards. The rest are for sales, which by the way is going pretty well. The presale of its tokens is going on and it has already raised over $4 million from early investors. Some expert analysts also believe that once the tokens are finally launched on an exchange, it can make some investors millionaires overnight. The Right Time to Invest Bitcoin recently crossed the $100K mark and the entire crypto market is now heated up. Whatever tokens go on presale right now has a much higher chance of experiencing exponential growth by 2025. So if you have missed out on the MOG frenzy, remember you still have 4 amazing opportunities to cash into.
Pepe is in the meme coin spotlight again. Binance.US and Coinbase, two of the major cryptocurrency exchanges, have added Pepe Coin to their trading platforms. Whales have been consuming enormous amounts of the token, generating ripples. Could this momentum take the meme coin to a new all-time high? Let’s investigate. Related Reading: Market Expert: Not Long On XRP? You’re ‘Disrespecting’ Yourself Exchange Listings Generate Excitement Binance.US announced on December 5 that it would allow trading of Pepe Coin against Tether (USDT). It was not long before Coinbase followed suit, adding the token to its growing memecoin list. These listings are important because they make PEPE accessible to millions of investors. Accessibility often leads to an increase in trading volume, and this seems to be the case here. The effects are already apparent. The price of Pepe Coin has risen by 165% in the past month; currently, its market capitalization is at $9.15 billion. These milestones are undeniable indications that the coin is not just another transient meme but is garnering significant attention within the crypto community. Whales Place Significant Bets On Pepe The excitement is not only in the listings. By statistics, whales have bought 337 million tokens, valued at some $7 million. Such behavior usually reflects confidence in the possibility for a token to climb. Whales continue to accumulate $PEPE! A whale has withdrawn 337.09B $PEPE($6.92M) from #Binance in the past 20 days.https://t.co/65vbIQd2dd pic.twitter.com/79NauAQt8V — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) December 4, 2024 Currently trading at $0.0000217, PEPE is getting closer to its all-time high of $0.00002457. Technical indicators support this optimism: the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) shows continuous bullishness while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is now at 62.45, indicating strong buying momentum. These signals taken with the presence of whales suggest short-term hope for the cryptocurrency. Investor interest now turns towards the strong level of resistance at $0.000028105. Should the coin breach past that point, it will probably try for the next line of resistance, at $0.000036003. Related Reading: No Sweat! Dogecoin Will Hit $5 ‘Very Easy’ In 2025 – Analyst Is A New PEPE ATH On The Way? With all the excitement going on right now, a lot of people are interested in how the Pepe Coin could hit new heights. Its appeal has definitely grown since it was listed on several exchanges recently, and the backing of whales makes things even better. The narrative that the crypto asset could reach a new ATH is strengthened by the active participation of the community. However, it is not completely issue-free. Like other meme coins, Pepe is vulnerable to market volatility and speculative trading. Although the trends now seem promising, the investors need to be very careful as they navigate through this fast-changing market. The next few days will be critical as Pepe Coin approaches its ATH. It is certain that this diminutive frog-themed crypto will not be hopping out of the spotlight anytime soon, regardless of whether it bursts through resistance or consolidates further.
