Commercial disclosure: This article contains no affiliate or referral links, and the order reflects CoinGecko market cap only. No project paid for inclusion.

Risk warning: Meme coins are highly speculative. Every coin in this list trades far below its all-time high, and you can lose your entire investment. This article is for information only and is not financial advice. We make no price predictions.

How we sourced this guide: prices, market caps, 24-hour trading volume, market cap rank and all-time highs come from the CoinGecko API, retrieved on November 9, 2026 at about 09:53 UTC. Official website links are the homepages listed for each coin on CoinGecko. Prices move constantly, so check the linked CoinGecko pages for live figures. Ratings, price targets and return estimates from the earlier version of this page have been removed because they had no verifiable source.

How We Chose These Coins

We took the meme coins from our earlier shortlist that are still among the larger meme coins by CoinGecko market cap and that have an official website listed on CoinGecko. Presale tokens and coins without reliable market data were left out. The order is by market cap, not a recommendation.

"Below ATH" is our calculation from the CoinGecko current price and all-time high in the same API response.

What the data shows: every coin in the table trades between about 82% and 97% below its all-time high. A large drawdown does not mean a coin will recover. It shows how far meme coin prices have fallen after past peaks.

1. Dogecoin (DOGE)

Dogecoin official homepage

Official site: dogecoin.com | Docs: Dogepedia

Dogecoin runs on its own blockchain. CoinGecko lists its genesis date as December 8, 2013, which makes it the oldest coin in this list. It has the largest market cap and the highest 24-hour volume in the table above.

Things to check: Dogecoin has no fixed maximum supply according to its documentation, so read the Dogepedia section on supply before you buy.

2. Shiba Inu (SHIB)

Official site: shib.io | Whitepaper: SHIB paper (PDF)

Shiba Inu started as an Ethereum token, and its official site covers the wider Shib ecosystem. In the snapshot above its 24-hour volume was about $59.6 million on a market cap of about $2.59 billion, a lower volume relative to size than DOGE or PEPE.

3. Pepe (PEPE)

Pepe official homepage

Official site: pepe.vip

PEPE is an Ethereum token. In the snapshot it had the second-highest 24-hour volume in the table, about $512 million, and the smallest drawdown from its all-time high, at about 82%.

4. Pudgy Penguins (PENGU)

Official site: pengu.pudgypenguins.com | Whitepaper: penguwhitepaper.com

PENGU is the token linked to the Pudgy Penguins brand. Read the official whitepaper for its supply and allocation before you buy.

5. SPX6900 (SPX)

Official site: spx6900.com

SPX had the lowest 24-hour volume in this table, about $5.7 million against a market cap of about $315 million. Lower volume can mean wider spreads and bigger price moves on large orders.

6. Bonk (BONK)

Bonk official homepage

Official site: bonkcoin.com | Paper: BONK Paper (PDF)

BONK is a Solana token. Its official site lists ecosystem integrations, so check which ones are live before you rely on them.

7. Floki (FLOKI)

Floki's official whitepaper describes its ecosystem products. Compare the products it describes with what is live on its site.

8. dogwifhat (WIF)

Official site: dogwifcoin.org

WIF is a Solana token. In the snapshot it had the largest drawdown in this table, about 97% below its all-time high.

Checklist Before You Buy Any Meme Coin

  1. Confirm the contract address from the official site or CoinGecko page, not from a social media reply.
  2. Check liquidity and volume on CoinGecko. Low volume means your order can move the price.
  3. Look at holder concentration with a block explorer such as Etherscan or Solscan. A few wallets holding a large share of supply can sell at once.
  4. Read the official docs for supply, unlocks and team allocations.
  5. Size the position so that losing all of it would not hurt you.
  6. Plan your exit before you buy, and use limit orders where you can.
