OMG Meme Coins Are Back?! 😱 (No, Really, Check This)

So, remember crypto? That thing we all pretended was “digital gold” while quietly crying into our RAM-shaped bread toaster? Yeah. Turns out, it’s sort of… twitching again. Like a squirrel after a light zap. 🐿️⚡

After an entire quarter of crypto feeling like a party no one RSVP’d to-Q4 2025 was bleak, y’all, like “forgot-your-pants-to-Zoom-meeting” levels of sad-the market’s finally exhaling. And guess who’s throwing confetti? Meme coins. Because of course they are. 🎉🤡

That’s right. While serious people were stressing over macroeconomic indicators and Fed statements (lol), the real winners this week weren’t DeFi blue chips or Layer 2 tokens. Nope. It was BONK. Yes, BONK. The dog coin that sounds like a cartoon punch. 💥🐶

BONK’s up 40% in a day? More than 60% since Sunday? And now it’s back in the top 100? Sweet baby Yoda, it’s like the Underdog sequel we didn’t know we needed.

And PEPE? Oh honey, the sad frog’s not sad anymore. 13% up in 24 hours, 66% weekly. That’s not just a hop-that’s a full-blown psychedelic toad leap into your portfolio. 🐸💫

Shiba Inu’s chilling in the green too (11% daily, 21% weekly), like, “Yeah, I’ve been busy grooming, but I’m still here, b-.” And Dogecoin? The OG meme dad? Up 6% in a day, 23% weekly. Feels good to be relevant again, doesn’t it, old man?

And wait. Wait. The TRUMP token? Up 7% today? 😳😳😳 Maybe Trump said something cool. Maybe he ate a salad. Frankly, at this point, who cares. As long as the ticker’s green, we’re calling it “fundamentals.”

Jake Kennis from Nansen-who, full respect, actually reads charts for fun-says this meme coin joyride might mean traders are finally daring to dream again. After months of crypto purgatory, they’re whispering, “Hey… what if we actually made money?”

“Markets may have been extremely bearish on memes based on price action and the risk appetite not being there,”

Translation: Everyone thought meme coins were dead. Turns out, they’re just really good at playing dead. Like possums. 🦡

But-big but, like “why-did-I-eat-that-entire-pizza” levels of but-Kennis also notes: PEPE and DOGE are still down ~80% from their all-time highs. So, while it’s cute they’re doing laps, we’re not exactly back in the championship.

Still. After months of silence, dread, and pretending we weren’t checking crypto apps at 3 a.m., seeing memes shimmy up feels… weirdly hopeful? Or possibly just delusional. Either way, pass the popcorn. 🍿

We’re not saying it’s a bull run. But if the frogs and dogs are barking… maybe, just maybe, it’s time to peek outside the bunker.

Mic drop. 🎤💥 (Or should I say… meme drop?)
