Speculative Crypto Mania: Meme Coins Explode as Bitcoin Hits $109K Milestone
As bitcoin shattered its prior all-time high on Wednesday, meme coins sprinted ahead, posting sizable double-digit advances across the board.
Meme Coins Shine Under Bitcoin’s Latest Lifetime Achievement
Bitcoin catapulted to an unprecedented $109,500 per coin, marking its highest recorded valuation to date. Although BTC climbed over 4% during the day, the real momentum rippled through the meme coin sector. The collective market capitalization of meme coins now stands at $76.4 billion, reflecting a 3.9% increase over the last 24 hours.

MOG/USD on May 21, 2025.
Leading the meme coin rally, MOG posted the sharpest climb with a 13.17% gain, trailed closely by WIF’s 12.68% rise. GIGA advanced 12.49%, while FARTCOIN tacked on 12.04%. The officially branded TRUMP meme token added 11.18%. Bitcoin-themed DOG jumped 10.87%, POPCAT ticked up 10.61%, and BRETT rounded out the group with a 10.12% lift.
Still, not all meme coins found favor. MOODENG slipped 3.29%, and AIC dropped by 6.9%. On the derivatives front, short sellers targeting DOGE, WIF, PEPE, and FARTCOIN were caught off guard, triggering a wave of liquidations. DOGE alone accounted for nearly $7 million in wiped-out short positions.
With bitcoin powering higher, many in the crypto sphere anticipate that an altcoin upswing is on deck once BTC cools. Meme coins, according to some speculators, are expected to lead the charge.
