This article covers 6 meme coins widely discussed in 2026, how to assess them, and their risks, so you can do your own research before deciding. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell.

Key Takeaways

• 6 meme coins covered: DOGE, SHIB, PEPE, BONK, PENGU, and FARTCOIN. They are ordered by market capitalization (market cap, the total value of all coins in circulation), not by quality or as a buy suggestion.
• All are available on Mobee through Spot Trade, with IDR and USDT pairs (checked October 22, 2026).
• They differ a lot in size: DOGE ranks 12th with a market cap of about US$12.5 billion, while FARTCOIN ranks 220th with about US$148 million (CoinGecko, read October 22, 2026). The smaller the market cap, the thinner the liquidity and the sharper the price swings tend to be.
• The risk is high: meme coin prices are strongly influenced by sentiment and large holders. Do your own research, and only use money you can afford to put at risk.

Popular Meme Coins in 2026

This table summarizes six widely discussed meme coins, why people are talking about them, and their main risk. Market data is a snapshot as of October 22, 2026, not an invitation to buy.

Dogecoin (DOGE)

DOGE is the oldest and largest meme coin, ranked 12th with a market cap of about US$12.5 billion. In September 2026 Bitwise announced the liquidation of its Dogecoin ETF (BWOW), with a last trading day of October 14, 2026. This shows that institutional interest does not automatically last. The risk: DOGE supply is not capped and its price easily follows sentiment. Learn the basics in What Is Dogecoin.

Shiba Inu (SHIB)

SHIB has a large community and a burn program, where tokens are sent to an address that can no longer be used so the circulating supply shrinks. According to Shibburn data, the daily burn rate fell 91% on September 28, 2026, and the total burned is about 41% of the original supply. The risk: supply is still very large, so small daily burns do not automatically lift the price.

Pepe (PEPE)

PEPE is an Ethereum-based meme coin with a market cap of about US$1.89 billion. On August 6, 2026 about 4.54 trillion PEPE left exchanges in a single day, the largest outflow since November 14, 2024 according to Santiment, and large holders increased their holdings by 6.07% over 30 days. An exchange outflow is not a guarantee that the price will rise. The risk: there is no product or roadmap, and large holders can sell at any time. Read more in What Is Pepe Coin.

Bonk (BONK)

BONK is one of the earliest Solana meme coins and is often used as a gauge of meme coin sentiment on that network. Its market cap is about US$273 million, ranked 151st, with a very large supply. The risk: liquidity is far below DOGE or SHIB, and its price follows the cycles of activity in the Solana ecosystem. Get to know the network in Solana (SOL).

Pudgy Penguins (PENGU)

PENGU is the token of the Pudgy Penguins NFT collection brand, with a market cap of about US$496 million, ranked 114th. On July 17, 2026 about 723 million PENGU (about 0.8% of the 88.9 billion total supply) was released from lock-up, and about 23.6% of supply is still scheduled to be released gradually. The risk: future unlocks add supply that can be sold into the market. Details are in PENGU Token: Potential and Price Drivers.

Fartcoin (FARTCOIN)

FARTCOIN is popular on Solana through an AI agent narrative and the token launch ecosystem. Its market cap is about US$148 million, ranked 220th, far below its peak, which once passed US$1 billion in early 2025. The risk: the price depends on narrative, and drops from a peak can be very deep. Learn its profile in Fartcoin.

Other Solana Meme Coins Also Discussed

Besides the six coins above, a few other Solana meme coins are active in the community: POPCAT and MOODENG (each with a market cap under US$50 million according to CoinGecko, so they are very sensitive to a single large trade), BOME, and GOAT. Check which trading pairs are available in the Mobee app before you trade, since some are only available as IDR pairs.

How to Assess a Meme Coin

A meme coin has no financial statements like a stock, so assessing it is mostly about reading risk. These six checks work for any coin, including ones not on this list:

1. Check market cap and rank. A small market cap means one large trade can move the price far more than it would for a large coin.
2. Check liquidity and volume. Liquidity is how easily you can sell without pushing the price down. Volume that thins out while the price rises can be a sign that only a few buyers are driving the move.
3. Look at holder concentration. If a few addresses (whales, large holders) control many tokens, they can push the price down with a single sale.
4. Understand supply and its schedule. Look at total supply, the unlock schedule (release of locked tokens), and whether there is a burn. Supply that keeps growing weighs on the price per token.
5. Ask what is driving the hype. Is the community organic, or is it busy because of one tweet or influencer? Hype that rises fast usually falls fast.
6. Make sure the coin is on a licensed platform. For new coins not yet listed on a licensed platform, the risk of fraud (rug pull, where developers pull the funds and disappear) is much higher.

After that, decide how much money you can afford to lose before you buy. The full guide is in Memecoin Trading Strategy 2026, and common beginner mistakes are covered in Beginner Risk Management Mistakes. For the basic concept, read What Is a Meme Coin.

Meme Coin Risks You Need to Understand

• Extreme volatility. Prices can rise or fall tens of percent in a day, and many meme coins remain far below their all-time highs.
• Driven by sentiment. Prices are often moved by social media and large holders, not product performance. You can read market mood through the Fear and Greed Index.
• Thin liquidity in small coins. When the market panics, the sell price you get can be far from the price you see.
• Growing supply. Unlock schedules and a very large supply can weigh on the price.
• Account and wallet security. Use basic security steps, as in 7 Ways to Secure Your Crypto Wallet.

Conclusion

Meme coins draw attention because of their community and sentiment, but that is also their source of risk. The six coins on this list differ greatly in size and liquidity, from DOGE, one of the 12 largest crypto assets, to FARTCOIN, which is much smaller. Use this list as research material: check market cap, liquidity, holder concentration, and supply schedule, then decide how much you can afford to put at risk. This list is not a recommendation to buy or sell.
