Top meme coins Dogecoin and Shiba Inu have slipped into the background of recent times, giving room for other unexpected candidates to shine. Over the last week, there have been some interesting rallies in the meme coin space, but none from the usual suspects. Instead, meme coins, which were believed to be long dead, have seen a revival, with prices more than doubling in 10 days. This report takes a look at the two meme coins that have dominated the sector over the last few weeks.
PIPPIN Climbs The Ranks Of Meme Coins Very Quickly
Like other meme coins, PIPPIN saw an initial run-up following its initial launch back in November 2024, and as attention shifted to the next shiny meme coin, it died a slow death. By 2025, the coin was all but forgotten before its shocking revival in November 2025.
As data analytics platform Bubblemaps shared, there seemed to be a coordinated accumulation trend from a number of connected wallets. Between October 24 and November 23, 50 wallets, funded from the HTX exchange in very tight timeframes, had received similar amounts of Solana (SOL).
Once received, the wallets, which previously had no enchain activity, then proceeded to buy the PIPPIN token. By the time the buying was done, the wallets had bought up $19 million worth of PIPPIN, giving them control of half of the meme coin’s supply.
What followed was what has been referred to as a coordinated pump, causing the meme coin to rise 1,000%, or 10x, in the space of one week. However, PIPPIN did not stop there and has since risen by more than 2,000% since then, with its market cap crossing $400 million to new all-time highs. CoinMarketCap data shows a 146% increase in the last week alone, making it the top performer among the leading meme coins and putting it ahead of the likes of FARTCOIN and FLOKI.
JELLYJELLY Doubles In One Week
Another of the meme coins that seemingly came back from the dead is JELLYJELLY, whose initial rally had shocked the market. Just like PIPPIN, JELLYJELLY’s rise had also begun with a coordinated accumulation among a number of wallets. Bubblemaps reported this back in November, showing that seven wallets had withdrawn 20% of the meme coin’s supply from the Gate and Bitget exchanges.
With the accumulation done, the JELLYJELLY price had risen by more than 600% to reach a new all-time high just short of $500 million back in early November. The price had then retraced, reaching below $100 million, but has seen another revival this week.
CoinMarketCap data shows the JELLYJELLY price rose 143% in one week, to put it above the $100 million market cap level once again. This makes it the second-best performer behind PIPPIN among the top 30 meme coins over the last week.
