From Hype to Utility: The New Meme Coin Narrative
Every bull run has its memes. In 2021, Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) stole the spotlight. By 2023, Pepe (PEPE) surged from internet culture into mainstream crypto. Soon after, Bonk (BONK) launched on Solana, fueling one of the most active ecosystems in the industry. Now, the spotlight is shifting to MAGAX a fresh meme coin that’s quickly gaining traction and proving it’s more than just a joke, but a community-driven force to watch.
As of mid-September 2025, the meme coin sector sits around $50B, supported by Bitcoin’s rally past $110,000. Both Pepe and Bonk remain at the top, but they’re chasing very different playbooks, according to Binance Square.
The big question: which one offers lasting upside? And is there room for an outsider quietly gaining momentum through presale traction?
Pepe’s Cultural Power: Can an Icon Survive Without Utility?
Pepe’s growth was almost instant. Its frog mascot captured internet culture and made the token impossible to ignore. By 2023, it peaked at a $1.6B market cap and today it’s valued around $4.54B, trading near $0.000011 with daily volume over $570M.
The strength of Pepe lies in its cultural reach. But critics argue that with no staking, NFTs, or added utility, Pepe’s long-term story is fragile. Analysts suggest possible 3x-6x gains by year-end, though its sustainability is still in doubt.
Bonk’s Ecosystem Advantage: Can Solana’s Challenger Go Mainstream?
Bonk followed a different path. Its Solana-based airdrops attracted thousands of early holders, and integrations with NFTs and DeFi helped build genuine traction. In 2025, it trades near $0.000023, with a $1.88B market cap and $444M in 24h volume.
Momentum has also been boosted by news of an ETF filing that could make Bonk the first meme coin connected to a yield product. Still, its heavy reliance on Solana leaves it vulnerable. Analysts see potential 3x upside if Solana keeps rallying.
While Pepe and Bonk Battle, Something New Grabs Investors’ Attention
- Price: Pepe $0.000011 | Bonk $0.000023.
- Market Cap: Pepe $4.54B | Bonk $1.88B.
- Volume (24h): Pepe $570M | Bonk $444M.
Pepe dominates culture, Bonk thrives on ecosystem support. Neither has fully secured long-term dominance.
The New Contender: AI-Powered Memes and CertiK Security
While Pepe and Bonk fight for meme dominance, MAGAX takes a different route. Beyond staking, NFTs, governance, and its meme-to-earn model, it builds credibility through security, backed by a CertiK audit with no critical issues and Loomint AI to block bots and ensure fair participation.
The Loomint Platform utilizes advanced AI to scan social media, analyze virality, score memes, and trigger Ethereum smart contracts for automatic rewards.

The Altcoin Season Playbook: How Liquidity Rotation Works
Its Stage 2 presale is already drawing over 80,000 community members and selling out fast.
With Bitcoin surging and altcoins heating up, this newcomer’s timing feels eerily similar to the early days of Shiba Inu, when a mix of meme power and utility first rewrote the rules of what meme coins could achieve.
Don’t wait for history to repeat without you—lock in MAGAX at $0.000293 today before Stage 3 launches and the price climbs.
