2025 was the year of the full-blown Meme explosion. The wealth effect created by TRUMP at the beginning of the year is still impressive, and the endless stream of Memes surrounding CZ and He Yi once kept the community ecstatic all night long; but at the same time, 2025 was also the year when the Meme track gradually declined.
According to Dune data, over 600 Meme coins were launched daily on pump.fun at the beginning of the year, peaking at over 1000 tokens launched per day. However, by December, fewer than 150 Meme coins were being launched daily from pump.fun; similarly糟糕的情况 also occurred on Four.meme. BSC Memes experienced multiple peaks in 2025 but failed to sustain them. The most recent peak was in October-November, when the number of Memes created daily on Four.meme exceeded 47,000, but now the number of Memes created daily is only around 2000.
Even though the Meme track continues to decline, conservative estimates suggest that over 8 million Meme coins were created across the entire network in 2025, and among these Meme coins, there were some impressive ones. In this article, Odaily Planet Daily will find those impressive Meme coins and rank them using the most popular ranking style (tombstone style) of the year—"From Banger to Trash".
This sounds like finding a needle in a haystack, or淘金 in shit, but it can be accomplished with the right statistical methods. Odaily uses one prerequisite and multiple criteria to filter from over 8 million Meme coins:
- One prerequisite: New Memes from 2025 with a current market cap exceeding $1 million;
- Multiple criteria: All-time high market cap, current decline from the peak, number of price surge cycles, market cap growth speed, influence and duration, narrative level.
Using this system, we filtered out 30 Meme coins and gave the following ranking from Banger to Trash.
Banger
TRUMP
- Creation time: January 18, 2025
- Highest market cap: $90 billion
- Current decline (refers to the current drop from the peak, same hereafter): 94%
If we were to choose which Meme coin deserves the "Banger" title in 2025, selecting TRUMP would absolutely be undisputed. A personal token from the US President, the influence sparked by this narrative is unparalleled globally. It successfully broke crypto into the mainstream and initiated the trend of celebrities issuing coins. TRUMP's market cap broke $10 billion in just one day. The strong liquidity allowed many Chinese community leaders (车头") to make over $1 million in one go, birthing multiple A7, A8, and even top players with single-coin profits exceeding $100 million. Such a wealth creation effect was also unique this year.
Therefore, TRUMP is not just a "Banger", but the "Top Banger".
Binance Life (币安人生)
- Creation time: October 4, 2025
- Highest market cap: $520 million
- Current decline: 76%
Binance Life should be the second Meme coin besides TRUMP that would be undisputed for the "Banger" title in 2025. The "Binance Life" meme was originally a derivative of the hot "Apple Life" meme on the Chinese internet. Through community propagation, it became a meme专属 to the crypto circle and was even personally propagated by He Yi (一不小心). Most importantly, the "Binance Life" narrative has升级 from being about Binance to the level of the premier Chinese Meme coin,可以说 opening up a unique field for the Meme track. The community consensus remains solid now, so giving it the Banger title is unquestionable.
MUBARAK
- Creation time: March 13, 2025
- Highest market cap: $270 million
- Current decline: 93%
The birth of MUBARAK is closely related to Binance receiving a $2 billion investment from Abu Dhabi's MGX in March. During this window, CZ sparked a Middle Eastern wind in the Meme market. From a narrative perspective, the word "MUBARAK" itself carries a strong "Middle Eastern flavor." Subsequently, CZ bought MUBARAK tokens, pinned MUBARAK-related tweets, and even finally changed his X account avatar to one with Middle Eastern elements. This level of deep involvement is still绝无仅有 to this day.
The reason MUBARAK gets the "Banger" title is not only due to the right time, place, and CZ's deep involvement but also because it, to a certain extent,彻底改变了 the玩法 of Memes in 2025, making all Meme players aware of the potential of BSC.
PING
- Creation time: October 22, 2025
- Highest market cap: $85 million
- Current decline: 94%
PING is a Base Meme coin. Although its highest market cap and current retracement might not seem sufficient for the "Banger" title based on numbers alone, its subsequent influence and narrative level were quite prominent in 2025. If not for the overall poor Meme market conditions, PING might have performed better.
PING was the first token in the火爆 x402 track, or rather, the wealth effect it triggered made the x402 track popular. Its unique minting method made the dull market眼前一亮, achieving a single-day surge of 8x. More importantly, its后续效应. Although PING has lost its heat now, the x402 protocol and ecosystem have developed significantly and still have ongoing progress. PING's popularity brought funds, development resources, and attention to the x402 ecosystem.
It出色地完成了 its "historical mission". From this perspective, giving it the "Banger" title is also appropriate.
Top Tier
B
- Creation time: April 2, 2025
- Highest market cap: $740 million
- Current decline: 72%
B's popularity also had the right time and place. Its project narrative itself wasn't novel, and the token had little movement for a month after its launch until it caught the window of Binance adopting USD1, added a USD1 pool, and became the first concept coin of USD1,迎来暴涨. USD1 is a stablecoin launched by the Trump family, so being the龙头 concept coin of it speaks volumes about its含金量. Thus, it deserves the "Top Tier" ranking.
Moreover, B not only provided ample time to get on board but also broke to new highs again in August after the first surge in May. From the perspective of narrative persistence, it also belongs to the top tier in 2025.
Hakimi (哈基米)
- Creation time: October 7, 2025
- Highest market cap: $96 million
- Current decline: 66%
Hakimi毫无疑问 deserves the "Top Tier" ranking; if it weren't for "Binance Life" coming first, it could even touch the threshold of "Banger". Because Binance Life is the龙头 Chinese Meme coin, and Hakimi is the second, and the "Hakimi" meme has a断层级的统治地位 on the Chinese internet,可以说家喻户晓. Therefore, its current community consensus is second only to Binance Life, and its maximum drawdown is not exaggerated, indicating it still has strong buying support.
GIGGLE
- Creation time: September 21, 2025
- Highest market cap: $260 million
- Current decline: 74%
GIGGLE is an education/charity concept Meme coin. The reason for giving it the "Top Tier" ranking is its close relationship with Binance. The GIGGLE token shares its name with Giggle Academy, a free children's English education institution invested in by CZ. More directly, GIGGLE is a Meme issued蹭 the Giggle Academy concept. But the key is that it succeeded, not only listing on Binance Spot but also having Binance donate and burn GIGGLE token trading fees, which is also绝无仅有.同时, GIGGLE也确实 indirectly increased donation funds for Giggle Academy, contributing to charity.
Purely from a price perspective, GIGGLE surged twice and experienced major ups and downs, making its刺激程度 also top tier. It's just a pity it wasn't issued by Giggle Academy itself, otherwise it could have touched the "Banger" threshold.
4
- Creation time: October 1, 2025
- Highest market cap: $300 million
- Current decline: 92%
4 is a number高度绑定 with CZ. On March 3, 2023, CZ himself first posted a tweet on platform X with the content "4" and a picture. Since then, "4" has become CZ's symbol. People don't比剪刀手 or thumbs up when taking photos with CZ, but unanimously比数字 "4".
However, the Meme coin "4" has still not been listed on Binance Spot. Moreover, its爆火 is too distant from the birth date of the original meme, giving it a conspiratorial attribute. Therefore, even though its narrative is unique, it can only be ranked as "Top Tier".
TST
- Creation time: February 6, 2025
- Highest market cap: $210 million
- Current decline: 91%
TST was initially just a test coin, appearing in a BNB Chain official video tutorial demonstration. It was later frequently mentioned by CZ, and its heat gradually rose. Strictly speaking, TST was the first Meme coin CZ interacted with in 2025 and the first BSC Meme coin to create collective wealth effects in 2025. But unfortunately, CZ's initial interaction was solely clarifications, unlike the subsequent MUBARAK which had the right time, place, and people. Therefore, it can only be ranked as "Top Tier".
Elite (人上人)
MELANIA
- Creation time: January 19, 2025
- Highest market cap: $18 billion
- Current decline: 99.4%
MELANIA is the personal token of Melania Trump, the current wife of Donald Trump and the First Lady of the United States. From a narrative perspective, it is also unique. But MELANIA's impact was恶劣. It赤裸裸 exposed the Trump family's intention to make money from crypto, questioning TRUMP's uniqueness. MELANIA opened with a high market cap, making it基本 impossible for non-insider addresses to buy early, and then it fell all the way, collectively收割 Meme players, lacking the wealth effect of the TRUMP issuance.
Therefore, giving MELANIA the "Elite" ranking is already仁慈 towards its status as the US First Lady.
JELLYJELLY
- Creation time: January 29, 2025
- Highest market cap: $500 million
- Current decline: 85%
JELLYJELLY was a golden dog速通 on Solana early this year. In the great Meme environment of early 2025, this was not surprising. The biggest reason for its "Elite" ranking is an attack incident on Hyperliquid in March 2025. A whale manipulated the price of JELLYJELLY, putting Hyperliquid's treasury at risk of a $240 million zeroing risk. Hyperliquid chose a 'pull the plug' approach, delisting the JELLY contract, which caused widespread debate within the community.
This attack incident意外 gave JELLYJELLY a second wave of surge.同时, the incident itself remains a typical case for thinking about DEX models, and JELLYJELLY, as the manipulated token, gained another layer of significance.
67
- Creation time: February 6, 2025
- Highest market cap: $210 million
- Current decline: 91%
67 was initially just a viral rap song on overseas social platforms like TikTok and Instagram ("Doot Doot (67)") with a nonsensical slogan. Later, the overseas community渗透 "67" into various fields, making it a hot Meme coin on the overseas internet.
From a token price perspective, 67 also experienced two surges and is currently in its second surge. However, given that the Chinese Meme circle has long become the backbone of the Meme field, and 67 did not spread widely in the Chinese-speaking region, it can only be ranked as "Elite".
USELESS
- Creation time: May 10, 2025
- Highest market cap: $440 million
- Current decline: 85%
The core of the USELESS token is consistent with the meaning of its word—useless, carrying a certain internet spirit of irony and rebellion. From a token perspective, USELESS surged twice this year, in July and October, which was not easy in the颓废 Meme environment of the second half of the year. Therefore, it deserves the "Elite" ranking.
SKYAI
- Creation time: April 20, 2025
- Highest market cap: $110 million
- Current decline: 72%
SKYAI is an AI project on BSC, but since everyone treats AI as a Meme now, SKYAI can also be considered a Meme coin. SkyAI was the first presale project on the Four.meme platform, ultimately raising over $50 million. The project later conducted a series of operations like refunds. Addresses participating in the presale made over $800 per号, also creating a wave of wealth effect on BSC. "Elite" is well-deserved.
Vulgar Penguin (恶俗企鹅)
- Creation time: October 25, 2025
- Highest market cap: $15 million
- Current decline: 56%
Vulgar Penguin is a relatively popular Meme on the Chinese internet in recent months. The Vulgar Penguin Meme coin also had two surges, in early November and early December. Although its heat and community consensus among Chinese Memes are not as strong as Binance Life and Hakimi, its existence proves the sustainability of the Chinese Meme sector—it's not just a one-wave thing. Therefore, Vulgar Penguin can be ranked as "Elite".
BNB CARD
- Creation time: March 18, 2025
- Highest market cap: $21 million
- Current decline: 93%
BNB CARD was born from a hot meme in the BNB community, where users photoshopped their avatars and usernames onto a picture called BNB CARD. On March 21, CZ posted his own photoshopped BNB CARD picture on Binance Square,彻底引爆 this target and further stimulated the community's二次创 enthusiasm. From the perspective of传播 and community participation, giving it the "Elite" ranking is also unquestionable.
VINE
- Creation time: January 23, 2025
- Highest market cap: $540 million
- Current decline: 94%
VINE is a Meme coin personally issued by a co-founder of the short video platform Vine, belonging to the founder concept.同时, Musk has always had plans to restart Vine. From a price performance perspective, VINE had two surges on the day of its release, before and after the Vine co-founder claimed the Dev identity. Moreover, VINE was the first tech founder concept Meme coin early in the year, and this move was subsequently imitated争先, even though it ended up一地鸡毛, its significance was also开创性的. "Elite" is well-deserved.
TUT
- Creation time: February 6, 2025
- Highest market cap: $150 million
- Current decline: 92%
TUT is an AI Meme coin on BSC. In March, because TUT appeared in a BSC official tutorial video and was listed on Binance Alpha, its price experienced a "旱地拔葱" (dry land pulling green onions - sudden surge). Subsequent frequent interactions between CZ and the TUT founder provided great benefits, and it finally got listed on Binance Spot.
TUT's price was on a long-term upward curve from March to September, which is already rare in the 2025 Meme environment where one-wave is common. Therefore, it can be given the "Elite" ranking.
NPC
SIREN
- Creation time: February 8, 2025
- Highest market cap: $200 million
- Current decline: 63%
SIREN is an AI Agent Meme coin on BSC that supports conversational chat and crypto market analysis. As it was the first conversational AI Agent on BSC, it was看好 by many. During the Binance voting for listing in June, many community users also supported SIREN. But ultimately, conversational AI Agents were not a fresh narrative when SIREN appeared, and it最后也未成功上币安现货. Therefore, it can only get an "NPC" ranking.
Customer Service Xiao He (客服小何)
- Creation time: October 7, 2025
- Highest market cap: $89 million
- Current decline: 95%
Customer Service Xiao He was a Chinese Meme born around the same time as Binance Life. Because He Yi once called herself Customer Service Xiao He, this Meme coin was once追捧 by the community. It did not跳出 the Binance narrative like Binance Life but remained深度绑定 with He Yi. Precisely because of this, after He Yi stopped interacting, Customer Service Xiao He lost its upward momentum.
Therefore, it is no different from any Meme that蹭 He Yi before or after, and can only be given an "NPC" ranking.
PALU
- Creation time: October 4, 2025
- Highest market cap: $130 million
- Current decline: 97%
PALU is a Binance mascot concept Meme coin. Binance's official Twitter also once posted a Meme image about PALU. But PALU seems to be just a mascot. In December, He Yi stated at a meeting that PALU was a mascot selected by a certain department and did not oppose internal trial and error, which also means PALU can no longer be associated with He Yi and CZ.
As for the mascot concept, it was already炒作过 in 2024. Coupled with the fact that PALU surged once and then kept阴跌 without a secondary行情, it can only be an "NPC".
BROCCOLI(714)
- Creation time: February 13, 2025
- Highest market cap: $103 million
- Current decline: 88%
BROCCOLI is the name of CZ's pet dog. In February this year, CZ's pet dog became the hottest Meme on BSC. But unfortunately, the community consensus was too分散 at the time. For a while, three tokens called BROCCOLI had community support. This分流 is extremely不利 for Meme coins. Binance even held a listing vote later, further分裂 the community for votes. Finally, only one BROCCOLI was listed on Binance Spot. Because of these狗血剧情, BROCCOLI can only be an "NPC". Not ranking it as "Total Trash" is already giving face to CZ.
DOYR
- Creation time: December 6, 2025
- Highest market cap: $31 million
- Current decline: 95%
The Meme coin DOYR was born from an English post by He Yi, where she mistakenly wrote the crypto slang "DYOR" as "DOYR". DOYR was quickly炒作起来 by the community and was listed on Binance Alpha in a short time, but its生命力不足. From a narrative perspective, typo Memes are not a fresh narrative. The only special thing about DOYR is that it was "created by He Yi". After He Yi stopped interacting, it quickly lost heat. Therefore, like "Customer Service Xiao He", it can only be an "NPC".
Cultivation (修仙)
- Creation time: October 9, 2025
- Highest market cap: $45 million
- Current decline: 95%
The Chinese Meme coin "Cultivation" was born from a long article published by He Yi on Binance Square titled "Come! Let's Cultivate Immortality Together!" and was eventually listed on Binance Alpha. But "Cultivation" has the same problem as "Customer Service Xiao He" and DOYR mentioned earlier—it cannot survive without He Yi's interaction. Therefore, "Cultivation" can also only be an NPC.
NEET
- Creation time: April 27, 2025
- Highest market cap: $43 million
- Current decline: 85%
NEET is a Solana Meme. Its core is the internet spirit of anti-work, rebellion, and self-mockery. This core actually overlaps with "USELESS" mentioned earlier. There are too many rebellious Memes, and people get审美疲劳. Although NEET also surged several times, its highest market cap never reached that of USELESS. This is also an important reason why NEET can only be an "NPC" while USELESS can be "Elite".
Total Trash (拉完了)
LIBRA
- Creation time: February 15, 2025
- Highest market cap: $4.6 billion
- Current decline: 99.9%
LIBRA is a personal Meme coin issued by the President of Argentina. If we were to choose the most trash Meme coin of 2025, selecting LIBRA would be众望所归. It瀑布ed (crashed) upon listing; no one made money except the阴谋集团.同时, it is a鲜明的转折点. In the history of Meme prosperity and decline in 2025, LIBRA is regarded as an important turning point where the Meme track shifted from prosperity to decline. Since then, Meme market liquidity has been much worse than before.
Therefore, LIBRA is not just "Total Trash", but the trashiest of trash, trash到家, trash to the moment of the宇宙大爆炸, trash到 I'm talking nonsense.
PAIN
- Creation time: February 19, 2025
- Highest market cap: $340 million
- Current decline: 97%
PAIN is a presale token on Solana. In February this year, the token raised over 37 million USD worth of SOL in just 48 hours, becoming the most funded Meme coin at the time. PAIN's Meme image comes from a white-bearded old man with an "awkward yet polite smile"; related memes of this old man have been popular on the internet for 14 years.
The火爆 presale combined with the popular IP raised players' expectations for PAIN. But after PAIN launched, it fell丝滑ly (smoothly). Presale users could only break even. Its performance is truly "Total Trash".
BOOP
- Creation time: May 1, 2025
- Highest market cap: $500 million
- Current decline: 99.8%
BOOP is the platform token of the Meme launch platform boop.fun launched in May this year. The platform's founder, dingaling, had Binance's背书 at the time, so BOOP also had unprecedented heat. The token's value soared to $500 million within an hour of listing. But then it fell all the way. Coupled with boop.fun's unsatisfactory product, BOOP fell into a death spiral.
In November this year, dingaling publicly announced his exit from the boop.fun team and became the founder of the prediction market prediict.fun. BOOP was彻底抛弃. Therefore, giving it the Trash ranking is entirely appropriate.
YZY
- Creation time: August 21, 2025
- Highest market cap: $3.2 billion
- Current decline: 88%
YZY is a personal Meme coin issued by the famous rapper and performance artist Kanye West (aka Ye). Although his personal influence is huge worldwide, his coin issuance timing was not good. By August this year, the Meme market had明显降温, and players were祛魅 (disenchanted) with celebrity coins. Although Ye's coin issuance was a big deal, most only dared to watch.
The result was, of course, as everyone expected—peak at launch, then a continuous decline. However, it didn't割 (rug) many people. Even from the perspective of being a sickle (scammer), it is "Total Trash".
BNBHOLDER
- Creation time: October 9, 2025
- Highest market cap: $160 million
- Current decline: 98%
BNBHOLDER was the first and, at the time, highest market cap Meme coin launched on Meme Rush, Binance's exclusive Meme launch platform. Therefore, the community believed that Binance would definitely "pump" BNBHOLDER to revitalize its own Meme Rush. But事与愿违, Binance did not do such a thing. BNBHOLDER was pumped extremely high in a very short time, followed by endless decline. Very few people caught the涨幅. It wasn't until November 25th that BNBHOLDER was listed on Binance Alpha, causing a small price pump.
Overall, the huge difference between the token's actual performance and community expectations is enough to make BNBHOLDER "Total Trash".
