There is little doubt that meme coins will lead the next crypto bull run.
Experts believe that a combination of large-cap and new, low-cap meme tokens could be the best bet for reaping the maximum returns in the coming months.
Indeed, large-cap coins such as Pepe and Dogwifhat are acting as beta plays on Layer-1 tokens like Ethereum and Solana and could offer 5x to 10x returns. Meanwhile, new meme tokens such as Pepe Unchained and Base Dawgz could potentially be the next 100x crypto.
Best Meme Coins To Buy In September
September is often one of the worst months for Bitcoin and crypto, hence the name ‘Rektember’.
However, things could be different this time around.
The US Federal Reserve is set to cut interest rates in September, a decidedly bullish scenario for crypto and the meme coins. The surge of liquidity in the market could send Bitcoin and large-cap altcoins to new highs while kickstarting the meme coin mania.
The impact of the upcoming US elections also cannot be underestimated. Pro-crypto candidate Donald Trump is once again the favourite to win the White House in November, which would send crypto prices skyrocketing.
In this article, we list the 6 best meme coins to buy for the next bull run.
Dogecoin (DOGE)
Unsurprisingly, Dogecoin is our top pick for the best meme coin to invest in September.
Despite DOGE’s tepid price action so far in this cycle, experts are not giving up on the meme coin leader. They remain confident that the Dogecoin price will hit a new all-time in the coming months and potentially even reach $1.
The optimism surrounding DOGE isn’t surprising, considering that it has the continued support of Tesla and X owner Elon Musk.
This is especially true after a Manhattan judge permanently dismissed a lawsuit which alleged that Musk manipulated the price of Dogecoin. The billionaire wasted no time in showcasing his support for the token, agreeing with an X post that DOGE could play a key role in combatting government censorship.
The Dogecoin price also remains highly undervalued, currently trading under $0.1. This means new buyers could still see nearly 7x returns if it only reaches its previous all-time high.
DOGS (DOGS)
The latest Telegram-based meme coin phenomenon DOGS is an easy inclusion in our best meme tokens list.
It is not without any reason that the meme coin is already live on Binance, along with a plethora of top-tier crypto exchanges.
DOGS is inspired by Spotty, a meme dog that was drawn by Telegram founder Pavel Durov himself during a charity auction. Unsurprisingly, it is already one of the most popular TON-based meme coins and is the top-trending coin on CoinMarketCap.
The DOGS price is down by nearly 30% over the past week. And yet, analysts aren’t concerned about its long-term prospects. After all, Binance listings often mark a local top for new meme coins while the DOGS airdrop is also contributing to the selling pressure.
However, experts such as CryptoGVR (@GVRCALLS) believe that the meme coin could soon hit $0.003 over the next weeks, nearly 3x growth from its current price.
Shiba Shootout (SHIBASHOOT)
Shiba Shootout is the first low-cap meme coin entry on our list. However, the hype surrounding the project cannot be underestimated.
The new meme coin has already raised over $1 million in its ongoing presale. Even popular crypto publications such as Cointelegraph and CoinMarketCap are featuring SHIBASHOOT’s stellar presale performance.
Experts believe that Shiba Shootout has all the makings of being the next big meme coin. For instance, its Wild-West theme is unique in the meme coin space.
More importantly, its cowboy-themed rewards are an extremely attractive proposition for retail investors. There is the Cactus Staking, Posse Rewards and Lucky Lasso Lottery.
Additionally, its thrilling P2E game – Shiba Sharpshooter – is already live on Google Play and App Store, with thousands of downloads across both platforms.
Unsurprisingly, smart money investors are bullish on the meme coin, with some even suggesting 20x returns for the early buyers.
Pepe (PEPE)
Experts are in consensus that Pepe is still one of the best meme coins to buy for the next bull run.
The Pepe coin is still acting as “leveraged ETH”, showing a high degree of correlation with the Ethereum price. With some experts projecting that ETH will peak at $10,000 in this bull cycle, the optimism around PEPE isn’t a surprise.
In fact, some analysts believe that the Pepe coin could reach a market cap of $50 billion in early 2025 and flip both Dogecoin and Shiba Inu in the process. If true, this would mean nearly 16x growth from its current valuation of $3.1 billion.
Pepe Unchained (PEPU)
Meme coins of the same category show a high degree of correlation with each other. For instance, a Pepe coin rally is extremely bullish for other frog-themed tokens such as PepeFork, PeiPei and PONKE.
However, a growing number of analysts now believe that Pepe Unchained is the best Pepe alternative, making it one of the top meme coins to invest in.
The demand for PEPU is evident in its ongoing presale, considering it has already raised nearly $11.5 million in a few short weeks.
After all, it is the first frog-themed meme coin – including Pepe – to have its own blockchain.
While new Ethereum meme coins see high trading costs and low retail investment, Pepe Unchained’s Layer-2 chain means it can offer low trading fees and high staking rewards.
It is therefore no surprise that some experts are calling PEPU the next 100x crypto.
Base Dawgz (DAWGZ)
Smart money investors are not making the mistake of underestimating Base meme coins for the coming bull run.
There is a reason why Binance Futures listed Brett on its platform, the top coin on the chain.
However, while the Brett coin is a large-cap token and can offer only limited returns, investors are stacking Base Dawgz before its highly anticipated launch on September 4th.
DAWGZ has already raised over $3.2 million in its recently concluded presale. The demand for the meme coin isn’t altogether surprising.
For one, it is a multi-chain meme coin – live on Ethereum, Solana, BNB Smart Chain, Base and Avalanche. This strategy is expected to maximize its visibility and consequently its upside potential.
Additionally, the meme coin is building a strong community backing with its unique solutions such as share-to-earn and refer-to-earn.
With its IDO this week, smart money investors believe that DAWGZ could offer outsized returns and follow in Brett’s footsteps.
