The seven largest Solana meme coins by market cap on CoinGecko on 8 October 2026 were TRUMP, PENGU, BONK, WIF, USELESS, FARTCOIN and BOME, and six of the seven were red over seven days. Banana Gun trades any of them from Telegram, with limit orders for both the entry and the exit.
“Best” in this list means largest by market cap, because that is how CoinGecko’s “Solana Meme” category ranks them. Coins bridged from other chains are excluded, and nothing here is a price prediction.
If you have never bought one, the guide on how to buy meme coins covers the basics before you size a position.

A weekly screen like this changes the order you place. Banana Gun, a Telegram trading bot, lets you queue a limit order instead of chasing a candle, so you name the price you will pay before the chart moves.
This guide to meme coin limit orders on Banana Gun shows how to buy a dip and sell a spike without watching the chart.
Why big-cap meme coins rarely do 4x
Large caps move in percent, small caps in multiples.
BONK at $288M needs about $1.15B of market cap for a 4x, which means roughly $860M of new money has to arrive. Five of the seven coins above are more than 90% below their highs, so each of them has already traded far higher once.
A take-profit set at +300% on a coin like this can sit untouched indefinitely, and an order that never triggers never sells. With six of seven coins red over the week, a resting sell order with no stop loss just watches the price drop.
How to trade a large-cap Solana meme coin with a Telegram trading bot
Fund your Banana Gun wallet first: /wallets shows the public key, and the docs ask for at least 0.1 SOL. Then run the same sequence in the Telegram trading bot for any coin on the list.
- Paste the contract address, or a DexScreener or Birdeye link, into the chat. The buy menu opens with Market Cap, Liquidity in SOL, Price, Tax and Recommended Tip.
- Tap a Buy preset or enter a custom SOL amount, then wait for “Buy Success”. The position appears under /positions.
- Tap Setup Sell Limit Order. Set “Tokens” to the share you want sold, set “Active” for how long the order lives, and pick “Take Profit” or “Stop Loss”.
- Trigger on a percentage change in “Token Price” or “Market Cap”. The number you type is the multiple minus one: +100% is 2x, +300% is 4x.
Add a “Trailing Stop Loss” on whatever is left, because it raises the trigger as the price makes new highs. For a buy that fails on a volatile coin, the Banana Gun docs list a higher MEV tip, more gas or more slippage.
The bot also runs a sell check before each buy and blocks tokens you cannot sell.
Big caps or small caps: which fits your account?
Big caps swing less in percent. The six coins that fell over the 7 days to 8 Oct 2026 fell between 11.8% and 21.2%, which hurts but does not wipe a position in a day.
Small caps pay in multiples and punish in zeros. A token at $150K needs $600K for 4x, and plenty never get there.
For the small-cap side, you can copy a wallet instead of picking tokens. In Banana Gun that lives in “Copy Trading” or /copytrade: “New Copy Trade”, the target wallet address, then “Max Market Cap” to keep copied buys inside the range you can stomach.
The docs warn that some target wallets buy pump-and-dumps and use copy traders as exit liquidity. A copy fill also lands after the wallet’s own trade, so your price is worse than theirs.
Pick the coin by how much a bad week can cost you, then set the stop loss before the buy.
