2025 was the year of the full-blown Meme explosion. The wealth effect created by TRUMP at the beginning of the year is still deeply impressive, and the endless stream of Memes surrounding CZ and He Yi also kept the community疯狂overnight; but at the same time, 2025 was also the year the Meme track gradually began to decline.
According to Dune data, over 600 Meme coins were launched daily on pump.fun at the beginning of the year, peaking at over 1000 token launches per day, but by December, fewer than 150 tokens were being launched daily from pump.fun; similarly糟糕situations occurred on Four.meme. BSC Memes experienced multiple peaks in 2025 but failed to sustain them. The most recent peak was in October-November, with over 47,000 Memes created daily on Four.meme at its highest, but now the daily number of Memes created 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 are 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,淘金in shit, but with the right statistical methods, the task can be completed. 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 high, number of pump 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 high, same hereafter): 94%
If we're talking about which Meme coin from 2025 deserves the title of Banger, choosing TRUMP would absolutely be undisputed. A personal token from the US President, the influence sparked by this narrative is unparalleled globally. It successfully pushed crypto into the mainstream and started 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, A8s, and even top players with single-coin gains exceeding $100 million. Such a wealth creation effect was also unique this year.
Therefore, TRUMP is not just a "Banger", but a "Super 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 strong even now, so giving it the Banger title is undeniable.
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 ignited 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 changed his X profile picture 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, besides having the right timing, location, and CZ's deep involvement, is that it彻底changed 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 enough to warrant a Banger title on their own, its subsequent influence and narrative level were quite prominent in 2025. If it weren't 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 was a breath of fresh air for the沉闷market, achieving a single-day surge of 8x. More importantly was its后续effect. 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 excellently completed 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 timing and location. Its project narrative wasn't novel本身, and the token had little movement for a month after launch until it capitalized on the window of Binance adopting USD1, added a USD1 pool, and became the first concept coin for USD1, leading to a surge. USD1 is a stablecoin launched by the Trump family, so being its concept coin龙头has significant weight, hence it can be ranked as Top Tier.
Moreover, B not only provided ample time to get on board but also broke to new highs again in August after the first pump in May. In terms 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of Chinese Meme coins, and Hakimi is the龙二. Furthermore, the "Hakimi" meme has a断层level of dominance 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 its 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. It not only got listed on Binance Spot, but Binance also donated and burned the trading fees from GIGGLE token transactions, which is also绝无仅有.同时, GIGGLE也确实indirectly increased donations to Giggle Academy, contributing to charity.
Purely from a price perspective, GIGGLE pumped twice and experienced major ups and downs, making its刺激程度also top tier. It's just a shame 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bound to 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peace signs or thumbs up in photos with CZ, but unanimously比the number "4".
However, the Meme coin "4" has still not been listed on Binance Spot. Moreover, its爆火is quite far 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 interactions were一味clarifications, lacking the perfect timing, location, and harmony of the subsequent MUBARAK, so it can only be ranked as Top Tier.
Upper Class (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, casting doubt on 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 "Upper Class" ranking is already仁慈to 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 (high-performing meme) on Solana that速通(quickly succeeded) early this year. In the great Meme environment of early 2025, this was not unusual. The biggest reason for its "Upper Class" ranking is an attack event on Hyperliquid in March 2025. A whale manipulated the price of JELLYJELLY, putting the Hyperliquid treasury at risk of a $240 million zeroing risk. Hyperliquid chose a 'pulling the plug' approach by delisting the JELLY contract, sparking widespread debate in the community.
This attack event意外gave JELLYJELLY a second wave of pumping行情.同时, the event itself remains a typical case study 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 catchphrase (from "Doot Doot (67)") that became popular on overseas social platforms like TikTok and Instagram. 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 pump cycles and is currently in its second pump. 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 given the "Upper Class" ranking.
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 the word—useless, carrying a certain internet spirit of irony and rebellion. From a token perspective, USELESS pumped twice this year, in July and October, which was not easy in the颓废Meme environment of the second half of 2025, hence it can be given the "Upper Class" 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 nowadays, 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 including refunds. Addresses participating in the presale earned over $800 per slot, also creating a wave of wealth effect on BSC. "Upper Class" 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 hot Meme on the Chinese internet in recent months. The Vulgar Penguin Meme coin also pumped twice, 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 given the "Upper Class" ranking.
BNB CARD
- Creation Time: March 18, 2025
- Highest Market Cap: $21 Million
- Current Decline: 93%
BNB CARD is a hot meme born from the BNB community, where users P their avatars and usernames onto an image called BNB CARD. On March 21, because CZ posted his own P-ed BNB CARD picture on Binance Square, it彻底引爆this target and further stimulated the community's二次creativity. From the perspective of传播and community participation, giving it "Upper Class" is also undeniable.
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. In terms of price performance, VINE had two pumps 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. This move was subsequently imitated争先, although it all ended in一地鸡毛(a mess), its significance was also开创性的. "Upper Class" 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 a BSC official tutorial video featured TUT and it got listed on Binance Alpha, the price experienced a "旱地拔葱" (sudden surge from nothing). Subsequent frequent interactions between CZ and the TUT founder provided major利好, 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 most are one-wave wonders. Therefore, it can be given the "Upper Class" ranking.
NPCSIREN
- 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. Because it was the first conversational AI Agent on BSC, many people were optimistic about it. 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did not succeed in getting listed on Binance Spot. 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 is 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 did but remained深度bound to 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 get 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 after all. In December, He Yi stated at a meetup that PALU was a mascot selected by a certain department and did not oppose internal experimentation, which also means PALU can no longer be linked to He Yi or CZ.
As for the mascot concept, it was already炒作back in 2024. Coupled with the fact that PALU has been阴跌(bleeding slowly) since its pump 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奈何the community consensus was too分散at the time. For a while, three different tokens called BROCCOLI had community backing. This分流is extremely不利for a Meme coin. Binance even held a listing vote later, further分裂the community for votes. Finally, only one BROCCOLI got listed on Binance Spot. Because of these狗血dramas, 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by the community and got listed on Binance Alpha in a short time, but its生命力was insufficient. 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 eventually got listed on Binance Alpha. But "Cultivation" has the same problem as the aforementioned "Customer Service Xiao He" and DOYR—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 being anti-work, rebellious, and self-deprecating. This core actually overlaps with the aforementioned "USELESS". There are too many rebellious Memes, and people get审美疲劳. Although NEET also pumped several times, its highest market cap never reached that of USELESS. This is also why NEET can only be an "NPC" while USELESS can be "Upper Class".
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're talking about which is the most trash Meme coin of 2025, choosing LIBRA would be众望所归. It was a waterfall from launch; no one made money except the阴谋集团.同时, it is also a鲜明turning point. In the history of the rise and fall of Memes in 2025, LIBRA is regarded as an important turning point where the Meme track shifted from boom to bust. 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(Big Bang), 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 downhill). 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 for the Meme launch platform boop.fun, launched in May this year. The platform's founder, dingaling, had Binance's背书back then, so BOOP also had unprecedented heat. The token's value soared to $500 million within an hour of launch. But then it was a continuous decline. 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 absolutely 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 timing for issuing the coin was not good. By August this year, the Meme market had clearly cooled down, and players were祛魅(disillusioned) with celebrity coins. Although Ye issuing a coin was a big deal, most only dared to watch.
The result was, of course, as everyone predicted: peak at launch, then a continuous decline. But 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 no such 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 got listed on Binance Alpha, causing a small price pump.
Overall, the huge gap between the token's actual performance and community expectations is enough to make BNBHOLDER "Total Trash".
