Meme Coins Outshining Major Cryptos Today: DOGE, BONK, and More Lead the Charge

by

Ah, what a curious day it is, dear readers, for on this fine September 12, 2025, the cryptocurrency market doth see a remarkable surge, led not by the stalwart heavyweights of the digital realm, but by the oft-ridiculed, yet undeniably entertaining, meme coins. Truly, it is a most amusing spectacle! 😏

Dogecoin (DOGE) Leads the Charge, Followed by BONK and PENGU

Lo and behold! Meme cryptocurrencies, those once considered the flighty and capricious whims of the market, now stand as the best-performing assets in CoinGecko’s Top 100. Dogecoin (DOGE), the most illustrious of the meme coins, hath seen its price rise by a respectable 6.3% in the last 24 hours. The humble coin that once mocked the market now leads it! 👑

Today, the price of Dogecoin (DOGE) hath surpassed the esteemed threshold of $0.25. And as the market doth recover, the rally doth continue, pushing weekly gains over 25%. One cannot help but wonder if the memes shall soon rule the world, if not already! 😂

Bonk (BONK), that mischievous little token, hath also risen, adding 7.7% to its value overnight. Its price now stands at $0.00002515, a modest sum, yet one that has surely pleased its ever-loyal community. 🐾

Meanwhile, Pudgy Penguins (PENGU), associated with the charming NFT collection, hath gained a delightful 5.6% in the last 24 hours. With its price now at $0.0356, the capitalization doth near $650 million-oh, how the mighty meme coins have soared! 🐧

And let us not forget MemeCore (M), the new player in town, which hath soared by a remarkable 15%, becoming the fastest-growing asset in the top 100. Its price hath reached an all-time high of $2.28, though its trading volume doth remain a tad underwhelming. Still, we cannot ignore its meteoric rise! 💥

Bitcoin (BTC), BNB, XRP-Apathy Reigns Among the Heavyweights

And now, let us turn our gaze to the traditional heavyweights, those cryptocurrencies once considered the bedrock of this market. Alas, Bitcoin (BTC), the grand patriarch of them all, hath only risen a meager 0.6%, struggling to maintain its position above the crucial $115,000 level. Is it possible that the old guard hath lost its luster? 🤔

BNB and XRP, too, have managed but a modest rise of 1%. Both tokens have managed to protect their key levels, with BNB stabilizing above $900, and XRP holding steady above $3. But one cannot help but wonder-wherefore art thou, grand performance? 💸

On a brighter note, Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) hath fared somewhat better. Ethereum, the second most revered cryptocurrency, hath gained 2.8%, reaching the respectable sum of $4,359. And Solana (SOL), ever the ambitious contender, hath risen over $239, thanks to growing trading volume. A tad more exciting, perhaps! 🔥
