Over the past week, the Meme sector has seen exceptionally strong market momentum, with heated discussions across major communities and a noticeable increase in profit-sharing posts.

In our previous article, Odaily Planet Daily compiled a list of noteworthy targets on Robinhood Chain (read more: Missed the On-Chain Action? Which Robinhood Chain Tokens Offer a Second Entry Opportunity?). A week later, several of these projects have performed impressively and remain worth watching:

• PONS: +125% from its lowest to peak market cap ($440M to $990M), currently reporting ~$700M;
• AI: +72% from its lowest to peak market cap ($250M to $430M), currently reporting ~$230M;
• BONER: +67% from its lowest to peak market cap ($53M to $89M), currently reporting ~$63M.

However, this round of Meme fervor has not been confined to Robinhood Chain. Over the past weekend, BNB Chain and Solana also saw a wave of Meme coins with rapid short-term market cap surges and high community buzz. This article will spotlight trending projects across various ecosystems that currently boast high community discussion and a market cap exceeding $10 million.

Robinhood Chain Ecosystem Additions

CASHCAT

According to GMGN data, CASHCAT's market cap peaked above $320 million before pulling back to its current level of ~$190 million.

CASHCAT is the earliest cat-themed Meme coin to gain traction on Robinhood Chain, named after "Cash Cat," a moniker Robinhood used in its early days. The project resurrected this abandoned name from the brokerage's past on its own chain, personifying it as a cat clutching cash—naturally tying it to Robinhood's brand history.

As Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev began interacting with related content on social platforms, CASHCAT has increasingly been viewed by the community as Robinhood Chain's "unofficial mascot."

MEME

According to GMGN data, MEME's market cap dipped below $30 million last week before surging to $170 million; it currently sits around $125 million.

MEME is an AMC-themed Meme coin on Robinhood Chain, paired with the AMC stock token launched by Robinhood. AMC itself was one of the most iconic Meme stocks during the 2021 "retail vs. Wall Street" saga. Recently, AMC CEO Adam Aron publicly questioned Robinhood's issuance of AMC stock tokens without company authorization and demanded trading halt, instantly thrusting MEME into the spotlight amid the dispute.

SHROOM

According to GMGN data, SHROOM's market cap peaked near $60 million over the weekend before falling back to ~$28 million.

SHROOM is a mushroom-themed Meme coin launched via Pons, and is positioned by the project team as a liquidity network for stock tokens.

The project leverages its own protocol funds to create trading pools pairing SHROOM with stock tokens such as NVDA, MSFT, GOOGL, SPY, AMD, and TSLA. Trading fees are reinvested into liquidity, and any surplus revenue will subsequently be used for buybacks and burns of SHROOM. Additionally, holders periodically receive MU stock token rewards distributed by Pons.

BNB Chain Ecosystem

MarsCoin

According to GMGN data, following Binance's spot listing of MarsCoin on September 4, its market cap surged from $100 million to $265 million in a short period, before pulling back to its current ~$150 million.

MarsCoin is a Mars-themed Meme coin launched via Flap, named after Musk's offhand 2021 remark that "There will definitely be a MarsCoin." The project crystallizes humanity's tendency to gaze at the red planet, endlessly imagine colonization, yet never actually depart—into a coin that has already "arrived" on Mars ahead of everyone. The community rallies around the narrative of "To Mars and beyond." MarsCoin initially began as a meme launch riffing on a five-year-old unfulfilled tweet, launching with no team, no roadmap, and not even a stablecoin pairing—before being taken over and sustained by the community.

Furthermore, trader BonkGuy believes market attention is increasingly shifting toward BNB Chain, with MARSCOIN already establishing itself as the leader in the BNB Meme/stock narrative.

Hachimi

According to GMGN data, following Binance's perpetual futures listing of Hachimi on September 6, its market cap surged from $16 million to $90 million in a short period, before pulling back to its current ~$50 million.

Hachimi is a cat-themed Meme coin launched via Four.meme, named after the Japanese word "はちみー" (hachimī, a mishearing of "honey"). The term was later adopted by Chinese internet culture as an affectionate expression for cats and anything adorable. The project takes a catchy lyric, a cat, and the semantic drift of "everything can be Hachimi," crystallizing it into a cat that has shed its original meaning and become pure catchy loop; the community spreads the narrative of "from a lyric to a cat, and then to all cats and all things."

Niu Lai

According to GMGN data, Niu Lai's market cap climbed above $140 million before pulling back to its current ~$81 million.

Niu Lai is a movie-themed Meme coin launched via Flap, named after the low-budget animated film of the same name (which translates to "The Bull Comes"), and is also a homophone for "bull market is coming" in Chinese. The project takes a film with gorgeous posters, terrible execution, initial box office failure, and eventual viral internet infamy for being so absurdly bad—and crystallizes it into a bull that rises the uglier it gets. The community rallies around the narrative of "Being hated is fine—being ignored is the real tragedy."

Stonks

According to GMGN data, Stonks' market cap climbed above $19 million before pulling back to its current ~$6 million.

Stonks is a stock-themed Meme coin launched via Four.meme, backed by the tokenized US stock QQQB as its base pool. The name comes from the classic meme of deliberately misspelling "Stocks." The project personifies that Wall Street expression of pretending to know what you're doing while knowing you're about to lose—into a golden coin that never stops smiling. The community rallies around "Born From the Stonks" and "Whatever the market brings, the smile remains."

Solana Ecosystem

USELESS

According to GMGN data, USELESS's market cap peaked above $320 million over the weekend, currently sitting at ~$230 million.

USELESS is an anti-utility themed Meme coin launched via LetsBONK, named after its most straightforward self-definition: useless. The project takes the crypto cycle of over-promising, under-delivering, and then pretending to still be building—and crystallizes it into a coin that admits from day one it does absolutely nothing. The community rallies around "Zero utility, zero roadmap, zero apologies."

Recently, trader Bonk Guy posted on X, suggesting that USELESS, MARSCOIN, and PONS are the tokens most likely to be the first in their respective niches to reach a $1 billion market cap in this new cycle.

STONK

According to GMGN data, STONK's market cap peaked above $180 million over the weekend, currently sitting at ~$130 million.

STONK is a stock-themed Meme coin launched via StonkFun, its name derived from the classic meme of intentionally misspelling "Stocks." The project captures the psychology of trading tokenized US stocks on-chain while still analyzing charts through memes—crystallized into the launchpad's own platform token. The community engages around stock-token pairing and diamond-hand airdrops.

STONK launched alongside StonkFun in August with limited initial market attention. In early September, as StonkFun integrated with Raydium LaunchLab, the platform continued buying back STONK, and Raydium, Solana's official channels, and co-founder Toly all began interacting, STONK's trading activity surged rapidly. On September 6, its market cap briefly exceeded $100 million, making it the first stock-paired Meme coin on Solana to reach a nine-figure valuation.

ZCAT

According to GMGN data, ZCAT's market cap peaked above $180 million over the weekend, currently sitting at ~$130 million.

ZCAT is a cat-themed Meme coin launched via StonkFun, its name combining Zcash's privacy symbol "Z" with an anonymous cat whose head is stuck in a paper bag. The project embodies the psychology of wanting to speculate while also latching onto a privacy narrative—personified as holding a cat while passively earning ZEC. The community rallies around "hold Meme, earn ZEC."

Additionally, every ZCAT transfer incurs a 3% tax. The tax proceeds are primarily used to purchase ZEC, which is then automatically airdropped pro-rata to eligible holders based on their holdings—no staking or claiming required.
