2025 Meme Coin Rankings: From 'Banging' to 'Trash'

Author: Golem

Original Title: 2025 Meme Coin Rankings: From 'Banging' to 'Trash'

2025 was the year of the 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. However, 2025 was also the year the Meme track gradually declined.

According to Dune data, over 600 Meme coins were launched daily on pump.fun at the start of the year, peaking at over 1000 daily token launches. But by December, fewer than 150 Meme coins were being launched daily from pump.fun. Similarly糟糕的情况 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 creation count 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 network in 2025. Among these, there were some impressive ones. In this article, Odaily Planet Daily will identify those memorable Meme coins and rank them using this year's most popular ranking format (tombstone style) — "From 'Banging' 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 used one prerequisite and multiple criteria to筛选 through over 8 million Meme coins:

• One prerequisite: Current market cap exceeding $1 million for new Memes from 2025;

• Multiple criteria: All-time high market cap, current drawdown from ATH, number of price surge rounds, market cap growth speed, influence and duration, narrative level.

Using this system, we selected 30 Meme coins and provided the following ranking from 'Banging' to 'Trash'.

Banging

TRUMP

• Creation Date: January 18, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $90 Billion

• Current Drawdown: 94%

If we're talking about which Meme coin deserves the 'Banging' title in 2025, choosing TRUMP is absolutely undisputed. A personal token for the US President, the influence sparked by this narrative is unparalleled globally. It successfully pushed crypto into the mainstream and started the celebrity token issuance trend. TRUMP's market cap broke $10 billion in just one day. Its strong liquidity allowed many Chinese community leaders (车头) to make over $1 million in one go, creating multiple A7, A8 level wealthy individuals, and even top players with single-coin profits exceeding $100 million. Such wealth creation effect was unique this year.

Therefore, TRUMP is not just 'Banging', it's 'Banging Supreme'.

Binance Life (币安人生)

• Creation Date: October 4, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $520 Million

• Current Drawdown: 76%

Binance Life should be the second Meme coin after TRUMP that receives the 'Banging' title without dispute in 2025. The "Binance Life" meme originally derived from the domestic internet hot meme "Apple Life", and through community propagation, it became a crypto-exclusive hot meme, even personally promoted 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, arguably opening up a unique field for the Meme track. The community consensus remains strong, so giving it the 'Banging' title is unquestionable.

MUBARAK

• Creation Date: March 13, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $270 Million

• Current Drawdown: 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 'Banging' title is not only due to the right timing, location, and CZ's deep involvement but also because it fundamentally changed the玩法 of Memes in 2025, making all Meme players aware of BSC's potential.

PING

• Creation Date: October 22, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $85 Million

• Current Drawdown: 94%

PING is a Base Meme coin. Although its peak market cap and current drawdown might not seem sufficient for the 'Banging' 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 was a breath of fresh air for the沉闷 market, creating a single-day surge of 8x. More importantly, its后续效应 was significant. Although PING has lost its heat now, the x402 protocol and ecosystem have developed considerably, with 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 'Banging' title is also appropriate.

Top Tier

B

• Creation Date: April 2, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $740 Million

• Current Drawdown: 72%

B's popularity also had the right timing and location. Its project narrative wasn't novel, and the token had little movement for a month after launch until it capitalized on the window of Binance adopting USD1, adding a USD1 pool and becoming the first concept coin for USD1. USD1 is a stablecoin launched by the Trump family, so being its concept coin leader speaks volumes about its含金量, hence it deserves the 'Top Tier' ranking.

Moreover, B not only provided ample time to board but also broke new highs again in August after the first surge in May. In terms of narrative persistence, it belongs to the top tier in 2025.

Hakimi (哈基米)

• Creation Date: October 7, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $96 Million

• Current Drawdown: 66%

Hakimi undoubtedly deserves the 'Top Tier' ranking. If it weren't for "Binance Life" coming first, it could even touch the threshold of 'Banging'. Because Binance Life is the龙头 of Chinese Meme coins, and Hakimi is the龙二. Furthermore, the "Hakimi" meme holds a断层级的 dominant position in 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 isn't exaggerated, indicating it still has strong buying support.

GIGGLE

• Creation Date: September 21, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $260 Million

• Current Drawdown: 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 coin issued蹭 (riding on) the Giggle Academy concept. But the key is it succeeded. It not only got listed on Binance Spot but Binance also donated and burned GIGGLE token trading fees, 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 surged twice and experienced major ups and downs, its刺激程度 also属于顶级. It's just a pity it wasn't issued by Giggle Academy itself, otherwise it could have touched the 'Banging' threshold.

4

• Creation Date: October 1, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $300 Million

• Current Drawdown: 92%

4 is a number高度绑定 (highly associated) with CZ. On March 3, 2023, CZ himself first posted a tweet on X with the content "4" and a picture. Since then, "4" has become CZ's symbol. People比 (gesture) the number "4" instead of peace signs or thumbs up when taking photos with CZ.

However, the Meme coin "4" has not yet been listed on Binance Spot. Moreover, its爆火 (explosive popularity) is too far from the birth date of the original meme, making it quite conspiratorial. Therefore, even though its narrative is unique, it can only be given a 'Top Tier' ranking.

TST

• Creation Date: February 6, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $210 Million

• Current Drawdown: 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 merely clarification, unlike the perfect timing, location, and harmony of the subsequent MUBARAK. Therefore, it can only be given a 'Top Tier' ranking.

Elite

MELANIA

• Creation Date: January 19, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $18 Billion

• Current Drawdown: 99.4%

MELANIA is the personal token of Melania Trump, the current wife of Donald Trump and the First Lady of the United States. Narratively, it is also unique. But MELANIA's impact was恶劣 (malicious). It赤裸裸暴露 (blatantly exposed) the Trump family's intention to make money from crypto, casting doubt on TRUMP's uniqueness. MELANIA launched with a high market cap; addresses without insider information basically couldn't buy early. It then fell all the way, collectively收割 (harvesting) Meme players, lacking the wealth effect of the TRUMP issuance.

Therefore, giving MELANIA the "Elite" ranking is already仁慈 (merciful) considering her status as the US First Lady.

JELLYJELLY

• Creation Date: January 29, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $500 Million

• Current Drawdown: 85%

JELLYJELLY was a速通 (speedrun) golden dog 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 the Hyperliquid 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意外地 (unexpectedly) 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 Date: February 6, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $210 Million

• Current Drawdown: 91%

67 was originally just a viral catchphrase from the viral rap song "Doot Doot (67)" that became popular on overseas social platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Later, the overseas community渗透 (infiltrated) "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 given the "Elite" ranking.

USELESS

• Creation Date: May 10, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $440 Million

• Current Drawdown: 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 (decadent) Meme environment of the second half of the year. Therefore, it deserves the "Elite" ranking.

SKYAI

• Creation Date: April 20, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $110 Million

• Current Drawdown: 72%

SKYAI is an AI project on BSC. But since everyone treats AI as a Meme to speculate on 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 refunds and a series of operations. Addresses participating in the presale earned over $800 per slot, also creating a wave of wealth effect on BSC. "Elite" is well-deserved.

Vulgar Penguin (恶俗企鹅)

• Creation Date: October 25, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $15 Million

• Current Drawdown: 56%

Vulgar Penguin is a relatively popular Meme on the Chinese internet in recent months. The Vulgar Penguin Meme coin also surged twice, in early November and early December. Although its heat and community consensus in 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 "Elite" ranking.

BNB CARD

• Creation Date: March 18, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $21 Million

• Current Drawdown: 93%

BNB CARD was born from a hot梗 within the BNB community, where users photoshopped their avatars and usernames onto an image called BNB CARD. On March 21, CZ posted his own photoshopped BNB CARD image on Binance Square,彻底引爆 (completely igniting) this target and further stimulating the community's二次创作 (secondary creation) enthusiasm. From the perspective of传播 (dissemination) and community participation, giving it the "Elite" ranking is also undeniable.

VINE

• Creation Date: January 23, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $540 Million

• Current Drawdown: 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. Subsequently, this move was imitated争先 (competitively), although it ended up一地鸡毛 (a complete mess) everywhere else, its significance was also开创性的 (pioneering). "Elite" is well-deserved.

TUT

• Creation Date: February 6, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $150 Million

• Current Drawdown: 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 was already rare in the 2025 Meme environment where most were one-wave wonders. Therefore, it can be given the "Elite" ranking.

NPC

SIREN

• Creation Date: February 8, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $200 Million

• Current Drawdown: 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 (looked upon favorably) by many. In the June Binance listing vote, many community users also supported SIREN. But overall, conversational AI Agents were not a fresh narrative when SIREN appeared, and it ultimately did not succeed in getting listed on Binance Spot. Therefore, it can only be given an "NPC" ranking.

Customer Service Xiao He (客服小何)

• Creation Date: October 7, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $89 Million

• Current Drawdown: 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 highly sought after by the community. It did not跳出 (jump out of) the Binance narrative like Binance Life did but remained deeply 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 (rode on) He Yi before or after, and can only be given an "NPC" ranking.

PALU

• Creation Date: October 4, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $130 Million

• Current Drawdown: 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 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 (hyped) back in 2024. Coupled with PALU's continuous decline after its surge without a second行情 (market trend), it can only be an "NPC".

BROCCOLI(714)

• Creation Date: February 13, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $103 Million

• Current Drawdown: 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 (dispersed) at the time. momentarily, three different tokens called BROCCOLI had community backing. This分流 (split) is extremely不利 (unfavorable) for Meme coins. Binance even held a listing vote later, further分裂 (splitting) the community for votes. Eventually, only one BROCCOLI got listed on Binance Spot. Because of these狗血 (melodramatic)剧情 (plot), BROCCOLI can only become an "NPC". Not ranking it as "Trashed Out" is giving face to CZ.

DOYR

• Creation Date: December 6, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $31 Million

• Current Drawdown: 95%

The Meme coin DOYR was born from an English post by He Yi, where she mistakenly wrote the crypto slang "DYOR" (Do Your Own Research) as "DOYR". DOYR was quickly炒作起来 (hyped up) by the community and was listed on Binance Alpha in a short time. But its生命力 (vitality) 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 Date: October 9, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $45 Million

• Current Drawdown: 95%

The Chinese Meme coin "Cultivation" was born from a long article published by He Yi on Binance Square titled "Come! Let's Cultivate Together!". It eventually got listed on Binance Alpha. But "Cultivation" has the same problem as the aforementioned "Customer Service Xiao He" and DOYR—it cannot survive脱离 (detached from) He Yi's interactions. Therefore, "Cultivation" can only be an NPC.

NEET

• Creation Date: April 27, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $43 Million

• Current Drawdown: 85%

NEET is a Solana Meme. Its core is the internet spirit of anti-work, rebellion, and self-mockery. This core actually重叠 (overlaps) with the previously mentioned "USELESS". There are too many rebellious Memes, and people get审美疲劳 (aesthetic fatigue). Although NEET also surged several times, its peak market cap never reached that of USELESS. This is an important reason why NEET can only be an "NPC" while USELESS can be "Elite".

Trashed Out

LIBRA

• Creation Date: February 15, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $4.6 Billion

• Current Drawdown: 99.9%

LIBRA is a personal Meme coin issued by the President of Argentina. If we're talking about the most "Trashed Out" Meme coin of 2025, choosing LIBRA is absolutely众望所归 (as expected by the public). It瀑布ed (waterfalled) immediately upon launch; no one made money except the conspiracy group.同时, it is a鲜明的 (distinct) turning point. 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 far worse than before.

Therefore, LIBRA is not just "Trashed Out", it's the trash among trash, trashed到家 (to the extreme), trashed to the moment of the宇宙大爆炸 (Big Bang), trashed to the point where I'm talking nonsense.

PAIN

• Creation Date: February 19, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $340 Million

• Current Drawdown: 97%

PAIN is a presale token on Solana. In February this year, this token raised SOL worth over $37 million 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 (fiery) presale combined with the popular IP raised players' expectations for PAIN. But after PAIN launched, it fell丝滑地 (smoothly) quite drastically. Presale users could only break even. Its performance is truly "Trashed Out".

BOOP

• Creation Date: May 1, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $500 Million

• Current Drawdown: 99.8%

BOOP is the platform token of the Meme launch platform boop.fun launched in May this year. The platform founder, dingaling, had Binance's backing at the time, so BOOP also had unprecedented heat. The token's value soared to $500 million within an hour of launch. But then it fell all the way. Coupled with boop.fun's unsatisfactory product, BOOP fell into a死亡螺旋 (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 (completely abandoned). Therefore, giving it the "Trashed Out" ranking is absolutely appropriate.

YZY

• Creation Date: August 21, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $3.2 Billion

• Current Drawdown: 88%

YZY is a personal Meme coin issued by the famous rapper and performance artist Kanye West (known as Ye). Although his personal influence is significant worldwide, his token issuance timing was not good. By August, the Meme market had明显降温 (clearly cooled down), 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收割 (harvest) many people. Even judging by the standard of being a sickle (镰刀), it is "Trashed Out".

BNBHOLDER

• Creation Date: October 9, 2025

• Peak Market Cap: $160 Million

• Current Drawdown: 98%

BNBHOLDER was the first and, at the time, the highest market cap Meme coin launched on Meme Rush, Binance's exclusive Meme launch platform. Therefore, the community believed that Binance would definitely "lift" BNBHOLDER to revitalize its own Meme Rush. But things went contrary to wishes; 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 (price increase). 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 "Trashed Out".
