The Dogefather (Elon Musk) never stops memeing. Even on New Year’s Eve.
As most of us were running last pre-celebration errands or sipping (quaffing?) champagne, Musk was doing what he does best. Shitposting on X.
Because how you spend New Year’s Eve is how the rest of the year will go. And Musk evidently plans to keep ‘keking.’
Without much explanation, Musk changed his profile picture to an image of Kekius Maximus – a meme featuring Pepe the Frog dressed as a Roman general.
Users quickly drew parallels with the new meme coin Kekius Maximus ($KEKIUS) and hopped on a buying spree. $KEKIUS surged by 136%, $KEKE by 893%, and $PEPE by 19%.
Some believe 2025 is the Year of the Snake. But degen investors know it’s the Year of the Frog. We hand-picked the best frog-themed tokens to kick off the year with a bang.
$PEPE – The OG Frog Coin Is Still Worthy
$PEPE is always on the list; this goes without saying. The original frog coin has a $8B market cap. Whenever a new Pepe-inspired token explodes, $PEPE holders see some nice gains.
$PEPE comes from the old generation of meme coins that had no utility whatsoever. Still, its strong community of HODLers makes $PEPE a relatively safe investment even now, nearly two years from launch.
$KEKIUS – Can Musk’s Choice Become the Meme Emperor?
Musk first endorsed Kekius Maximus on December 10, when he reposted an image created by X’s AI Grok. Mere minutes later, the X community created the original $KEKIUS token.
The character is a combination of the internet slang word ‘kek’ (meaning ‘to laugh’) and Roman general Maximus Decimus Meridius from the 2000 movie Gladiator.
After Musk changed his name and picture to Kekius Maximus on X, the token pumped 136%. It’s still early to judge whether $KEKIUS will sustain its momentum and rule the crypto empire as $PEPE does. But early supporters may still see some upside.
$WEPE – A Frog That Rivals Crypto Whales
Just as Maximus Decimus Meridius stood against the corrupt Emperor, Wall Street Pepe ($WEPE) stands against whales conspiring in insider trading groups.
On a mission to democratize crypto trading, $WEPE is assembling the Frog Army – a community of degen investors – to share knowledge and tested strategies.
$WEPE has already garnered impressive traction in its presale, with nearly $39M raised so far. One $WEPE now costs $0.0003662, but the price will increase shortly.
$SOLX – The First Solana Layer-2 Network
Solaxy ($SOLX) is a meme-meets-utility token that addresses the scalability issues of the Solana main net. Behind its Pepe-themed facade is a proprietary Layer-2 solution that aims to speed up transaction processing and lower fees.
In its first month in presale, $SOLX raised $7.5M. Analysts like ClayBro predict it could blast into the stratosphere after listing, so the current price of $0.001586 presents a low entry point into this innovative ecosystem.
$MEMEX – Four Meme Coin Baskets to Spread Risk
Meme Index ($MEMEX) shows what happens when the thirst for gains blends with distaste for suit-and-tie vultures.
The meme coin market is unpredictable. Who would’ve thought $KEKIUS would soar 136% in one day? You can get rich or lose everything in one day. The tricky part is finding the right project to put your money into and when to bail.
Meme Index streamlines investing with four meme coin baskets catered to different risk appetites.
Its native token, $MEMEX, is currently on presale at $0.0148047. The next price uptick will happen in 22 hours, so there’s no better time to get in than now.
Meme Coin Market Cap Leaps to $11B
The cumulative frog meme coin market cap surpassed $11B. While $PEPE still reigns supreme, newcomers like $KEKIUS, $WEPE, $SOLX, and $MEMEX have the potential to challenge the status quo.
However, there’s no way to tell for sure which token will become the next top frog. That’s why we remind you to do your own research, diversify your portfolio, and only invest as much as you can afford to lose.
