Cryptocurrencies have evolved for over a decade. During this time, each bull market has brought new trending topics.
The hype in 2017 was ICOs, while in 2021 it was DeFi, GameFi, and NFTs. So what new trends might the 2024 bull market bring? One possible hot topic is Memecoins.
Why Memecoins?
Memecoins have little practical utility or added value in the crypto space. They are rife with scams and don't solve any real-world problems. So why are they so popular now? The short answer is:
-
Memecoins are community-driven. Investors today tend to trust Memecoin communities more than utility tokens backed by VCs who may dump on retail investors.
-
Using low-cost Layer 1 (L1) chains like Solana and Arbitrum, or Layer 2 (L2) solutions, transaction costs are nearly zero.
-
Celebrity endorsements and memes attract broader audiences, fueling the rising popularity of Memecoins.
Now you understand why meme coins are a space worth watching. But how can we tell which meme coins are high-potential versus low-quality—or outright scams? To help you navigate, we’ve summarized several simple steps to filter promising ones.
Step 1 — Strong Community and Fan Base
A strong community and fan base increase a memecoin’s chances of survival. To assess this, consider the following:
-
Is there a large and active community on X (Twitter), Telegram, and Discord?
-
Are project teams actively engaging in comment sections and interacting with the community?
-
Has a unique identity formed around a specific meme (e.g., $PEPE's frog or $DOGE's dog)?
Step 2 — Token Distribution
To effectively check this, use the free version of Bubblemaps: enter the memecoin you’re interested in and its blockchain. Then examine its token distribution. If the bubble map shows many colorful, clustered, and large bubbles, it indicates that a few entities hold most of the tokens—raising the risk of a massive sell-off.
In short, look for evenly distributed tokens (dark-colored bubbles) without clustering (bubbles not connected).
Step 3 — Number of Token Holders
Promising memecoins will see a gradual increase in the number of holders over time. You can identify this trend using blockchain explorers like Etherscan. Here’s an example with $PEPE:

Step 4 — Trading Volume and Liquidity
Look for memecoins with high trading volume and strong liquidity, especially those with market caps exceeding $100 million. In short, focus on these metrics:
-
Trading volume should exceed 8%-10% of market cap.
-
Liquidity should exceed 2%-4% of market cap.
You can find this data on DexScreener.
Step 5 — Historical Performance
Memecoins that previously suffered an ~80% crash may still perform well only if:
-
Whales did not dump their holdings.
-
The community remained supportive.
-
The number of holders continued to grow.
Conclusion
That’s it—your guide to identifying the strongest memecoins in the market. However, before diving in headfirst, always proceed with caution.
