Tokens like Dogwifhat (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/trade\/WIF\/USDC\">WIF<\/a>), Pepe (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/trade\/PEPE\/USDC\">PEPE<\/a>), Bonk (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/trade\/BONK\/USDC\">BONK<\/a>), and Official Trump (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/trade\/TRUMP\/USDC\">TRUMP<\/a>) are grabbing headlines for their explosive price moves and vibrant communities. Once dismissed as jokes, these coins have rocketed in value alongside a broader crypto market rally &#8211; Bitcoin is hovering near all-time highs above $100K, and meme-coin market capitalization has surged back above $60 billion dollars. Even the original meme superstars, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/trade\/DOGE\/USDC\">Dogecoin<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/trade\/SHIB\/USDC\">Shiba Inu<\/a>, are climbing again, although more modestly. It\u2019s a wild and unpredictable ride for Solana\u2019s meme tokens in 2025, blending internet culture with serious market momentum. In this post, we\u2019ll break down how WIF, PEPE, BONK, and TRUMP became the talk of the crypto town &#8211; covering their 2025 price trends, community hype, and key milestones &#8211; and why traders on IXFI are paying close attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>WIF: The Dog with a hat that won over Solana<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogwifhat (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/trade\/WIF\/USDC\">WIF<\/a>) started as literally a dog-in-a-hat meme, and it has quickly grown into a multibillion-dollar phenomenon on Solana. In a short span, WIF\u2019s price blew past the 3 dollar mark, pushing its market cap above 3 billion. That landmark made WIF the first major Solana meme coin to cross 3 billion, thanks in part to high-profile exchange listings that boosted visibility. After topping out near 4.80 late in 2024, WIF corrected hard, bottoming around 0.30 in April 2025. The dip set the stage for a comeback -within weeks, WIF rebounded more than 300 percent, trading near 1.30 by mid-May. Volatility is still the name of the game, but the uptrend has holders feeling confident again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WIFUSDC_2025-05-20_15-02-48-1024x630.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WIFUSDC_2025-05-20_15-02-48-1024x630.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WIFUSDC_2025-05-20_15-02-48-300x185.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WIFUSDC_2025-05-20_15-02-48-768x473.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WIFUSDC_2025-05-20_15-02-48-1536x945.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WIFUSDC_2025-05-20_15-02-48-2048x1260.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WIFUSDC_2025-05-20_15-02-48-24x15.png 24w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WIFUSDC_2025-05-20_15-02-48-36x22.png 36w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WIFUSDC_2025-05-20_15-02-48-48x30.png 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond price, WIF\u2019s community has proven to be its greatest asset. Holders ran real-world stunts like putting a giant knit hat on Wall Street\u2019s Charging Bull and crowdfunding a Dogwifhat ad on the Las Vegas Sphere (which unfortunately, did not materialise in the end). Social feeds are packed with Shiba-in-a-hat memes, and a few Solana NFT projects now accept WIF for payments. WIF remains a purely community-driven coin, but if the memes keep flowing, it may stay a mainstay of Solana\u2019s best-performing tokens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PEPE: The frog meme<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pepe (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/trade\/PEPE\/USDC\">PEPE<\/a>) is the iconic green frog that took crypto by storm. Launched on Ethereum in 2023, PEPE sprinted to a 1.6 billion market cap in its first meme season. By late 2024, PEPE hit a new all-time high near 0.000028 dollars, briefly eclipsing its 2023 peak. The frog got caught in the usual meme roller-coaster and dipped to 0.000006 in early 2025, but by spring it doubled off those lows and trades around 0.000013 today. On-chain data shows whales accumulating again, and technical charts hint at a bull continuation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What keeps Pepe alive is its cultural punch and nonstop meme energy. \u201cFeels Good Man\u201d posts flood Twitter anytime the price pumps, turning hype into a self-fulfilling rally. For short-term traders chasing meme momentum, PEPE offers high volatility and quick upside potential, making it a fixture of every meme-season conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>BONK: Solana\u2019s community canine bites back<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bonk (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/trade\/BONK\/USDC\">BONK<\/a>) arrived at the tail end of 2022 via a free airdrop that energized a battered Solana community. Marketed as a meme coin by the people, for the people, Bonk quickly became Solana\u2019s unofficial mascot. Exchange listings gave Bonk mainstream access, and developers wove the token into Solana\u2019s DeFi and NFT projects. This year, Bonk broke a long downtrend, jumping to around 0.000025 before cooling off. A flashy partnership with a NASDAQ-listed company to run a validator node showed Bonk\u2019s aim to prove long-term viability, though traders took profits on the news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/BONKUSDC_2025-05-20_15-16-39-1024x630.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/BONKUSDC_2025-05-20_15-16-39-1024x630.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/BONKUSDC_2025-05-20_15-16-39-300x185.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/BONKUSDC_2025-05-20_15-16-39-768x473.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/BONKUSDC_2025-05-20_15-16-39-1536x945.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/BONKUSDC_2025-05-20_15-16-39-2048x1260.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/BONKUSDC_2025-05-20_15-16-39-24x15.png 24w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/BONKUSDC_2025-05-20_15-16-39-36x22.png 36w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/BONKUSDC_2025-05-20_15-16-39-48x30.png 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bonk community remains energetic, sharing memes of its Shiba mascot \u201cbonking\u201d bearish traders. Bonk wants to evolve into the default meme token for Solana\u2019s ecosystem. Whether it can reach new highs or needs a long cooldown, it\u2019s still among the top dogs of Solana\u2019s meme scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>TRUMP: A Memecoin of presidential proportions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Official Trump (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/trade\/TRUMP\/USDC\">TRUMP<\/a>) launched on Solana in January 2025, days before Donald Trump\u2019s inauguration. Within hours, the token rocketed more than 300 percent, briefly valuing the project above 15 billion dollars. After the hype, TRUMP fell to the low billions but showed resilience; it currently trades around 13.86, up roughly 70 percent from its post-launch low. The project locked 80 percent of supply on a vesting schedule to avoid rug concerns, and the coin\u2019s social strength rides on Trump\u2019s own promotions and a built-in fan base. Political fandom merged with meme culture to create a token that is part social movement, part speculative asset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Beyond Solana: The OG Memecoins<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Classic memes still move the market. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/trade\/DOGE\/USDC\">Dogecoin<\/a> rallied to 0.26, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/trade\/SHIB\/USDC\">Shiba Inu<\/a> touched 0.000017, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/trade\/FLOKI\/USDC\">Floki Inu<\/a> jumped nearly 10 percent during May\u2019s meme rally. These large-cap memes may not deliver 10\u00d7 moves, but they underline persistent investor appetite for meme-themed assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All seven meme coins covered here &#8211; WIF, PEPE, BONK, TRUMP, DOGE, SHIB, and FLOKI &#8211; can be traded on IXFI. Each offers its own blend of community culture and price action. Meme coins are highly volatile, but that volatility creates opportunity for traders who manage risk well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Join the Memecoin action on IXFI<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Solana\u2019s meme coins are on the rise.
