Yesterday, as Musk continuously posted, retweeted, and replied to 5 tweets related to Pepe memes (one of which is shown below), PEPE's market capitalization surpassed $11.3 billion in the early morning, setting a new historical high. Following the continuous rise in DOGE's price, and with PEPE breaking the $10 billion market cap to create a historical high, Musk has opened up the imagination for animal-themed memes. Perhaps, in addition to AI memes, animal-themed memes are also worth paying close attention to in this bull market.

Next, Odaily Planet Daily will summarize popular animal-themed meme projects with a market cap of over $100 million and explore the next potential project that may challenge the $10 billion mark.

FLOKI (FLOKI)

Project Introduction:

Floki originated from Musk's post on the X platform: "My shiba inu will be named Floki." Unlike other animal-themed meme projects, FLOKI is a token that has a metaverse game, NFT ecosystem, and blockchain lending features.

Contract Address:

0xcf0C122c6b73ff809C693DB761e7BaeBe62b6a2E

Reasons for Optimism:

1. In addition to its meme attributes, it is committed to building its own ecosystem. Firstly, Floki's flagship metaverse blockchain game Valhalla will launch its mainnet in the first quarter of next year; secondly, Floki has announced that its debit card is officially live, allowing users to use crypto assets at merchants worldwide that accept VISA or Mastercard. Thirdly, the total locked value of Floki's crypto lock protocol FlokiFi Locker once reached $165.6 million, currently reported at $52 million;

2. Token airdrops for FLOKI holders. FLOKI has already received two token airdrops in the second half of this year, namely CAT token and MONKY token.

Price Performance:

According to GMGN data, FLOKI's market cap once exceeded $3.3 billion, and it is currently valued at $2.2 billion.

Brett (BRETT)

Project Introduction:

Inspired by characters from Matt Furie's Boy's Club comic series, which also gave birth to the infamous Pepe the Frog meme. This token has formed a specific audience within the cryptocurrency community.

Contract Address:

0x532f27101965dd16442e59d40670faf5ebb142e4

Reasons for Optimism:

1. The leading animal-themed meme in the Base chain. From the perspectives of market cap and community popularity, BRETT is considered the leading animal-themed meme in the Base ecosystem;

2. BRETT has launched on Binance Futures and Upbit spot. BRETT is one of the few animal-themed meme coins from the Base ecosystem to be listed on mainstream exchanges. Notably, BRETT was launched on Upbit alongside PEPE.

Price Performance:

According to GMGN data, BRETT's market cap once exceeded $2.5 billion but has since declined, currently valued at $1.7 billion.

Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT)

Project Introduction:

PNUT originated from the controversy surrounding the euthanasia of the internet-famous squirrel Peanut, which, with the "push" from public figures like Musk, has evolved into a public opinion weapon stirring the U.S. elections.

Contract Address:

2qEHjDLDLbuBgRYvsxhc5D6uDWAivNFZGan56P1tpump

Reasons for Optimism:

1. The first animal-themed meme coin to launch on Binance in this round of meme bull market;

2. The internet-famous squirrel stirring the U.S. elections. The Peanut controversy has evolved into a campaign against the Democratic Party, even being used as a political weapon in the struggle. Currently, Trump has been confirmed as the next president, and there may be more room for speculation in the future.

Price Performance:

According to GMGN data, PNUT's market cap once exceeded $2 billion but has since declined, currently valued at $1.1 billion.

DOG•GO•TO•THE•MOON (DOG)

Project Introduction:

The entire project is initiated by @LeonidasNFT, who is also the absolute community leader. Although DOG·GO·TO·THE·MOON appears to be an "animal coin," it is actually focused on a fair narrative, with Leonidas leading the community to communicate with various CEXs, conveying the process and spirit of fair distribution of DOG within the entire Bitcoin ecosystem.

Reasons for Optimism:

1. The leading meme in the BTC ecosystem. From the perspectives of market cap and community popularity, BRETT is considered the leading animal-themed meme in the BTC ecosystem. If market attention towards the Bitcoin ecosystem rises again in the future, DOG's price may see a good increase.

Price Performance:

According to on-chain data, DOG's current market cap is $907 million.

Neiro (NEIRO)

Project Introduction:

NEIRO is named after a rescue dog recently adopted by the owner of Kabosu, the late Shiba Inu internet celebrity that inspired Dogecoin. Once made public, this name became a new favorite in the MEME world, as people attempted to replicate Dogecoin's miracle, with multiple tokens of the same name being issued simultaneously on Ethereum, Solana, and other public chains. (For detailed content on the topic of Neiro's capitalization, see: Neiro and NEIRO both listed on Binance, is the meme coin track reaching a turning point?)

Contract Address:

0x812ba41e071c7b7fa4ebcfb62df5f45f6fa853ee

Reasons for Optimism:

1. Lowercase Neiro is a typical case of community victory. Lowercase Neiro is the authentic first is first, but the "conspiracy group" later issued uppercase NEIRO and listed it on Binance Futures first. However, as the community continued to announce and Sun Yuchen supported lowercase Neiro, emphasizing that cryptocurrencies should belong to the community and respect the community, the price of lowercase Neiro continued to rise after being listed on Binance spot, surpassing uppercase NEIRO.

Price Performance:

According to GMGN data, Neiro's market cap once exceeded $1.2 billion but has since declined, currently valued at $650 million.

Moo Deng (MOODENG)

Project Introduction:

In September, an ugly yet adorable hippo named Moo Deng went viral online, becoming the headline of various media outlets. Born in a Thai open zoo, Khao Kheow, the two-month-old Moo Deng became a new social media darling due to its distinctive face and entertaining videos. Naturally, the buzz in the crypto world also joined in, with the same-named meme first appearing on Solana on September 11.

Contract Address:

ED5nyyWEzpPPiWimP8vYm7sD7TD3LAt3Q3gRTWHzPJBY

Reasons for Optimism:

1. MOODENG is listed on Coinbase, with potential for listing on Binance;

2. One of the few native animal-themed memes in this round, and the overseas community discussion is extremely high, with the potential to reignite the animal park craze.

Price Performance:

According to GMGN data, MOODENG's market cap once exceeded $700 million and is currently valued at $370 million.
