For those who have been keeping an eye on meme coins recently, now might be the perfect time to pay even closer attention, for a couple of reasons.
Out of 1,226 meme coins recognized by Messari, nine are currently ranked in the top 100 cryptocurrencies. The meme coin sector’s market cap has reached an all-time high of $127.5 billion at the time of writing, with a year-to-date price change exceeding 10,000%, and projections suggest even higher growth for 2025.
What makes this moment even more interesting is that meme coins are starting to evolve beyond just a trend. Until now, their lack of broader functionality has made it difficult for them to be taken seriously, especially with cautious investors who prefer safer options. However, that’s beginning to change as 2024 draws to a close. New projects are emerging with the goal of redefining what meme coins can offer and creating a safer space for anyone looking to explore one of crypto’s hottest categories.
Choise.ai is one of these. Recently, they’ve announced they’re working on Meme Bank, the first-ever bank for meme coins, which will help meme coins step into the world of serious finance, offering real-world use cases and serious value.
What’s the Idea Behind Meme Bank?
Meme Bank is an exciting new addition to the Choise.ai ecosystem, which consists of various products, including:
- Choise.com, a B2C crypto banking app,
- Entropy, an AI-powered L2 blockchain platform,
- Charism, a DeFi platform with earn, swap, and bridge aggregators,
- Vbanq, a fast, modern global digital banking platform for businesses,
- PerpeX, decentralized trading platform,
- Tringlr, a hybrid SMPC technology that will serve as a base for building the most secure crypto wallet.
This platform is all about changing the meme coin game by adding real-world uses and making meme coins work together, while giving each community the tools to build and grow in their own way.
The infrastructure for the Meme Bank is actually being built by Choise.ai and Vault, a globally licensed B2B white label platform, and will make it possible to provide global banking solutions for meme coins, including seamless transactions, token exchanges, withdrawals, and the ability to use meme coins through customizable Mastercard or Visa cards. Meme Bank will also support secure meme wallets, token burns, staking rewards, and other utility-driven features to foster sustainable growth for meme coins and their holders.
Revenue generated from transactions within Meme Bank will benefit $CHO token holders. A portion of this revenue will be used to burn $CHO – the mechanism that will increase its scarcity, creating more value for the token that is already deeply integrated into all Choise.ai’s projects. $CHO can be staked for rewards, offers discounted fees, and provides exclusive benefits such as airdrops and access to premium features, depending on the project within the ecosystem. Additionally, since Vault is launching its own $VLT token soon, only those holding and staking $CHO will be able to receive $VLT, as it won’t be available for purchase on secondary markets.
But now you’re probably wondering, with so many meme coins out there, which ones are actually worth paying attention to? Down the line, we’ll give a short and quick overview of Meme Bank and its features and transition into the top meme coins worth tracking in 2024 and 2025.
$POPCAT
Back in October 2020, the internet went wild over a meme of a cat named Oatmeal, either with its mouth closed or shaped into an ‘O. Fast forward, and this iconic meme has leaped into the world of crypto as the POPCAT token. Unlike traditional coins, POPCAT is all about having fun; it doesn’t promise any financial returns or serious utility. It’s the crypto equivalent of Oatmeal’s funny face, offering a bit of humor to crypto enthusiasts.
In a market full of ups and downs, $POPCAT doesn’t stand out because of fancy technology, but because of its entertainment value. In November, it hit $2 for the first time, a big deal for a meme coin, and that sent its popularity through the roof. After a slight dip back to $1, it’s now bouncing back at around $1.33. Some predictions even saw it reaching $1 in December, but it already doubled the predicted target in November. This shows strong support behind the coin, and if it finds some real utility down the line, the price could definitely go higher.
$BRETT
While the initial link to $PEPE gave it a bit of a boost, $BRETT is proven to be a token in its own right. Built on the Base Blockchain – a fast-growing ecosystem known for low fees and scalability, $BRETT is definitely catching the eye in 2024. With a total supply of 10 billion tokens and a circulating supply of 9.91 billion, the coin has the benefit of minimal inflation risk. The token’s trading volume recently hit $93.64M in just 24 hours, showing there’s serious interest behind it.
What really stands out about $BRETT, though, is its community – laid-back and spontaneous. Whether it’s through surprise airdrops or fun contests, the team definitely knows how to keep the hype alive, and the active engagement from the community is pushing the coin forward. While the fun factor’s there, adding some real utility could take it even further.
$BONK
$BONK is the community-driven meme coin of Solana, with a strong presence across several Web3 applications and protocols. It’s quickly becoming one of the central figures within the Solana ecosystem, thanks to deep integrations and a growing list of partnerships. Traders are buzzing about $BONK’s potential, especially with its low-unit price, Coinbase listing, and active community trading. The token’s momentum is definitely growing, with buzz around moves that aim to reduce supply – something that has historically led to price increases.
In fact, $BONK hit an all-time high in November, marking one of its strongest months yet. The excitement continues as BonkDAO, a decentralized group of supporters, recently burned 100 billion tokens and is eyeing a trillion token burn in December. With supply tightening, $BONK could be setting itself up for more growth.
$DOGE
Just because $DOGE is the meme coin that started it all, doesn’t mean it’s not got some serious potential in the long run. In fact, it’s looking like it’s gearing up to revisit its all-time high, and it’s closer than ever. The other day, $DOGE hit $0.48, which is the closest it’s been to its ATH of $0.58 since way back in 2021. It’s definitely making moves, and it might just push past that old high soon.
A fresh wave of speculation heated up the crypto market with President Trump appointing Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead a new Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.). The name alone sparked attention, and gave $DOGE an instant uptick in trading volume around these days. Musk is always dropping subtle hints about his love for the coin, and even seemingly regular posts on X from him tend to send $DOGE’s price up. With talks of a digital asset wallet function on X, $DOGE is almost a guaranteed inclusion. Knowing Musk’s track record of shaking things up, $DOGE might make other big moves in 2025.
$MOG
$MOG has really been making waves in the crypto space lately, especially since its bull run kicked off in September. It’s now listed in the top 100 crypto coins, with a market cap nearly hitting $1 billion. Originally starting off as a meme, MOG quickly caught attention, thanks to its playful branding and cat-themed vibes, which have resonated with meme coin fans. The coin’s fun branding and the “AMOG” (alpha male of the group) term have definitely struck a chord with the meme coin crowd. But it’s not all fun and games anymore – backed by a growing and engaged community, MOG has turned into a more serious player in the crypto world.
The coin’s surge was boosted by its listing on Coinbase, and it’s now available on big platforms like Kraken, Bybit, and Bitstamp, making it easier for traders to jump in. With its increasing presence across various exchanges and options like Base offering low-fee trading, $MOG has carved out a spot in the market and is likely to continue to attract attention.
Conclusion
If investor interest in $DOGE, $POPCAT, $MAG, $BONK, $BRETT, and other meme coins continues to grow, the numbers for the general meme coin market could see significant increases in 2025. And with the launch of Meme Bank, powered by Choise.ai and Vault, a new era for meme coins will begin, giving them the real-world utility they need to maintain this momentum and keep climbing.
