In examining the current meme coin environment featuring Neiro and Popcat, it appears that Dogecoin and Shiba Inu have matured significantly.
This is due to the fact that throughout much of the year, the most thrilling price movements in crypto have not originated from the established veterans. Instead, they have emerged from a new wave of meme coins that are gradually contesting the dominance of the multi-billion dollar frontrunners in the sector.
Recently, Popcat surged up the meme coin rankings, reaching a market capitalization of $1 billion, making it the seventh largest humorous token. It has since retreated to $933k and is facing intense competition from its closest competitor, the $926k Brett ($BRETT).
At the same time, Neiro has been creating millionaires across the board.
Nonetheless, a fresh wave of projects is on the horizon. Let’s explore some of its standout performers…
The $1 Billion Meme Bet After Neiro and Popcat: Is It $MOODENG?
First, let’s introduce Moo Deng, Thailand’s viral baby pygmy hippo phenomenon.

(@AMAZlNGNATURE) September 19, 2024Moo Deng is inspired by the namesake charming baby hippo internet star from Thailand’s Khao Kheo Open Zoo in Chonburi.
Her name translates to “bouncy pork” in the local dialect, and the pygmy gained fame after various online clips showcased her adorable, energetic behavior and perpetually damp appearance.
Last week, an anonymous investor transformed an initial investment of $401 in $MOODENG into nearly half a million dollars.
Moo Deng’s rise has been swift since its launch three weeks ago, and the token possesses significant cultural relevance as a hippo in a market filled with cat and dog coins.
However, the token is currently experiencing a sharp overnight correction of 26.5%, trading at $0.2118. Given Moo Deng’s nearly vertical rise, holders should not be overly alarmed. The meme coin remains as refreshing as it was upon its debut earlier this month.
You’ve Met Pepe ($PEPE), Now Meet Him Unchained ($PEPU).
The original Pepe is a well-regarded blue chip meme coin for many, but a new variant known as Pepe Unchained (PEPU) launched presale this summer and has already amassed an impressive $16.5 million based on the straightforward premise that it is the first Pepe to operate on a proprietary Ethereum Layer 2.
Pepe isn’t just breaking chains—he’s making smart moves!

pic.twitter.com/7cau9pZ3KQEthereum is the most commercially significant blockchain; however, it currently handles approximately 15 transactions per second (tps), leading to high network congestion and substantial transaction fees.
To address this limitation, Layer 2 protocols have been developed to operate atop the main Ethereum network, processing transactions independently on a side chain before integrating them into the Layer 1 ledger.

A notable Layer 2 example is Polygon, represented by the $POL token (formerly $MATIC), which has achieved a maximum recorded 429 tps.
Tokens associated with Layer 2 protocols have collectively reached a market capitalization exceeding $20 billion.
$PEPU is the first meme coin to leverage this technology, offering its holders a more appealing value proposition compared to standard meme coins.
It is a hundred times faster and more economical to transact with than Ethereum, and due to the enhanced scalability, Pepe Unchained provides $PEPU stakers significantly greater rewards (currently 130%) than Layer 1 meme coins.
According to the whitepaper, one-fifth of the total supply of 8 billion $PEPU is allocated for the presale, with a substantial 30% designated for staking.
Another fifth is earmarked for the token’s marketing, while the remaining 30% is evenly split between DEX liquidity, project development, and the Pepe Unchained Layer 2 treasury.
