HOW $1B MEMECOINS LOOK BEFORE THEY HIT (P1)
Let’s cut the fluff.
There are only 95 tokens in all of crypto with a market cap over $1 billion.
It’s an exclusive club - one reserved for only seven memecoins at the moment.
So how do we spot the next one?
We look forward, not backwards.
My ground rules for this piece:
- No tokens that have already hit $1B.
- Nothing above a $500M market cap.
- No “comeback” metas
- Only fresh meat here.
Let’s get into it.
$REKT: The true native consumer brand
Rekt is more than a meme.
It’s building a real-world brand with IRL products. Their drinks just launched in 7-Eleven stores. They’ve got collabs with Abstract, a great reputation, and actual vision for the product.
Plus, OSF is an absolute beast. Just read this full manifesto and tell me you aren’t bullish.
Why it could hit $1B:
- Killer branding
- Real-world distribution
- Web3-friendly ethos
Why it might not:
- Brand scaling is tough af
- Token price action is speculative: real sales numbers might hamper upward trajectory.

$TIBBIR: The deep state meme with a real tinfoil thesis
Alright, get your tinfoil hat.
This one goes VERY DEEP.
TIBBIR is short for Ribbit spelled backward - and according to crypto sleuths, it may be tied to Micky Malka’s Ribbit Capital (one of the earliest VCs in Coinbase and Robinhood).
There’s no official confirmation. But it’s been hovering around a $100M market cap forever, and lives on Virtuals, the homeland for institutional AI Agents.
We’ve been tracking this one for a while on the show.
Why it could hit $1B:
- Mystery fuels momentum
- Deep fintech tie-ins (if the thesis is real)
- Strong floor price so far
Why it might not:
- Might be vaporware with narrative juice only
- Investing in web2, even if it was crypto companies, doesn’t instantly make you good at agents

Virtuals Site (Buy $ VIRTUAL on Milk Road Swap first)
THIS DEX SOLVES AN ACTUAL PROBLEM
You’ve probably used Uniswap for memecoins on Ethereum.
…and you’ve likely used Raydium for Solana memecoins.
But what if you could combine them into one?
Milk Road Swap supports both Ethereum and Solana trades in a single interface – plus…
- It’s cheap: 0.15% fee + MEV protection on all Ethereum ecosystem trades
- It’s simple: Need help finding a token? Don’t know how to get crypto in your wallet? How do you bridge from one chain to the next? We have guides and resources to help with all of this, built right into the interface
- It’s fun: Goes ‘mooo’ when you swap (seriously)
Stop fumbling through onchain trading and try Milk Road Swap now.
HOW $1B MEMECOINS LOOK BEFORE THEY HIT (P2)
$AURA: The most hated rally
This thing got taken over by the community, and instantly jumped to 9 figures.
There’s no real reason this token should still be here, and yet it is. Every post about it seems scammy. Its fans are rabid and anonymous. No major KOL support. The takeover was sketchy at best. And that might just be why it rips.
Plus, this dude in the Milk Road PRO chat told me it's gonna rip because the team has “a lot happening behind the scenes”. When I asked him to be specific, he vanished.
Why it could hit $1B:
- It’s got that meme feel to it
- Already bounced hard once
- Could become a hate-pump
Why it might not:
- Zero clarity, zero backing
- When a young person's term becomes a memecoin, it's instantly uncool
How to buy:
- Solana Wallet (Phantom, Axiom)
- CA: DtR4D9FtVoTX2569gaL837ZgrB6wNjj6tkmnX9Rdk9B2
$LAUNCHCOIN: The bipolar ecosystem
This token can’t decide if it’s the next Solana unicorn or a total rug.
One day it’s dead, the founder Ben Pasternak is getting flamed, the platform is forcing devs to KYC, and people are writing it off as a failed ICM experiment.
The next day? It’s up 30%, the main meme ($STARTUP) is near ATH, and everyone’s watching it like it’s the next big breakout.
The truth is there’s serious builder energy under the hood. Believe has already onboarded legit projects, the ICM (Internet Capital Markets) meta is still early, and Solana wants real launchpad winners post-PumpFun.
It might not be a forever play, but in the short term, it’s a 5-10x candidate if just a few more projects pop off.
Why it could hit $1B:
- Most ecosystem tokens do. Look at Virtuals!
- Solana users love a comeback arc
- ICM narrative still early (or just dead now)
Why it might not:
- Team is controversial
- KYC for creators was worthy FUD
How to buy:
- Solana Wallet (Phantom, Axiom)
- CA: Ey59PH7Z4BFU4HjyKnyMdWt5GGN76KazTAwQihoUXRnk

$USELESS: The winner of the cycle
Useless has been grinding through this market like Michael Phelps in Beijing. It’s such a clear winner, and could even have hit the mark by the time you’re reading this!
And I’ve covered this one since the early days. You could say it's our channel’s first ever 10x! Except…I never bought it.
Why it could hit $1B:
Why it might not:
- This is so heavily tied to Bonk Guy. One bad headline about him, and it's cooked.
- Getting to $200-300M is kind of easy in the meme world. Getting to 10 figs is not.
How to buy:
- Solana Wallet (Phantom, Axiom)
- CA: Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk
Honorable mentions:
IMO, Solana and Base still dominate mindshare in the memecoin world.
But if another chain goes nuclear, its top memecoin(s) would likely follow. Those are:
- $WAL on SUI ($570M)
- $KET on Avalanche ($306M)
- $PURR on HyperLiquid ($113M)
- $DOG on Runes ($437M)
- $SNEK on Cardano ($150M)

Wrapping up
Finding the next $1B memecoin isn’t about copying the last winners.
It’s about watching for signs:
- Lack of logic for the rally
- Tons of fade on the timeline
- Very strong KOL support
- Unexpected resilience (those mega bounces after red days)
Each coin above has something most others don’t: momentum.
Some might flop. But a few of these are gonna send.
Can’t catch em’ all though.
BITE-SIZED COOKIES FOR THE ROAD 🍪
Mark the date: July 12. That’s when PumpFun will be launching its token sale.
NFT collections are becoming memecoins? Ethereum NFT collection Goblintown is launching a memecoin ($GOB) on Solana.
A new Solana launchpad is in town. LetsBONK becomes the first launchpad to flip PumpFun in daily token launches.
MILKY MEME 🤣
