New meme coins are emerging as strong contenders in the cryptocurrency market, offering impressive short-term gains that surpass established players like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu

DOGE and SHIB retreat: These are the hot new meme coins for 2025 Projects such as FreeDUM Fighters, Pepe Unchained, Crypto All-Stars, and Flockerz are attracting investors with their unique features, including gamified rewards, layer-2 blockchain solutions, passive income platforms, and community-driven governance models

Dogecoin and Shiba Inu are the leaders of the meme coin market––but they are not the hottest. The growing competition in the market urges investors to diversify their meme coin portfolios.

Newcomers steal the spotlight from Dogecoin and Shiba Inu

New meme coins are outstripping DOGE and SHIB in short-term gains. The low initial market caps of these assets strengthen their appeal among investors.

Memecoins, in their presale phases, in particular, give cheap entry points to investors. That, in turn, widens their room for growth. The recent success of projects like NEIRO and POPCAT highlights the rapid volatility of the niche.

While DOGE and SHIB have registered impressive surges above 100% in a year, they pale in comparison to new meme coins. Emerging tokens have recorded gains in four and five-digit ROIs this year. Which new crypto coins will steal the spotlight in November? Here are four top picks.

1. FreeDUM Fighters (DUM)

FreeDUM Fighters ($DUM) is a brand new PolitiFi meme coin. With the US election season in full swing, FreeDUM Fighters ($DUM) comes with some fun contests.

Investors can actively participate in the project’s parody version of the US election. From voting for favourite satirical characters to engaging in spirited debates and sharing opinions through polls, it offers a light-hearted way to enjoy the election heat. The $DUM token is tied to multiple gamified reward streams.

PolitiFI tokens are gaining popularity. This category has seen a surge due to projects like ConstitutionDAO ($PEOPLE), MAGA ($TRUMP), and MAGA Hat ($MAGA).

FreeDUM Fighters will see an intense fight between Kamacop 9000 and MAGATRON. They come with backstories and powerful traits that give the project a playful edge. Their larger-than-life personas capture the chaotic spirit of the project.

As the presale progresses, the project plans to collaborate with influencers and online communities based in the crypto and political satire niches. The goal is to strengthen its reach and credibility before the token launch.

With the marketing strategy aligning with key moments in the US election, the $DUM presale is gaining traction. It is a top meme coin to watch now. The ongoing $DUM presale supports multiple chains like Ethereum (ETH), Binance Smart Chain (BSC), Base, and Solana (SOL).

2. Pepe Unchained (PEPU)

Next up is Pepe Unchained ($PEPU), the hot new meme coin that has raised over $23 million in its ongoing presale. The project is building a layer-2 blockchain for meme coins.

With this technological ambition, Pepe Unchained positions itself as more than just a meme-driven project. It aims to bring real utility and efficiency to the meme coin sector.

As the quirky illustrations and content on social media make it obvious, Pepe Unchained rides the Pepe hype. But it has a larger vision. Although the meme coin market is one of the most active niches in the crypto market, issues like network congestion and slow transaction times continue to plague users. This is even more pronounced during market surges.

Pepe Unchained is developing a layer-2 solution that could potentially deliver faster and cheaper transactions. According to the project’s website, the upcoming layer-2 blockchain will help create a smoother, more efficient ecosystem for trading meme coins.

The Pepe Unchained community has more than 50,000 followers on X (formerly, X) and over 10,000 members on Telegram. The presale allows early investors to secure $PEPU tokens before it is listed on crypto exchanges.

The price will gradually increase as the stages progress. Pepe Unchained offers a dynamic passive rewards system as well, right from the presale stage.

3. Crypto All-Stars (STARS)

Crypto All-Stars ($STARS) is another new meme coin to watch now. The project focuses on bringing utility to top meme coins through a passive income platform called MemeVault. $STARS is the payment and reward token of the unified passive income model.

The multichain, multi-token protocol aims to breathe life into meme coins by incentivisng holding. It allows users to lock their favourite meme coins and earn rewards in $STARS tokens.

Meme coins often see a sharp rise followed by a rapid decline due to their lack of focus on utility. MemeVault is creating a system that rewards investors for staying committed. It ventures beyond the pet-themed narratives that are characteristic of the meme coin market.

“As global support for the world’s most popular memecoins grows, so does the $STARS token, the MemeVault, and the Crypto All-Stars brand. As an innovator and first-mover in the space, $STARS aims to be among the top 10 meme coins ever created, while adding additional utility and value for holders of all meme coins,” states the website.

MemeVault is set to officially launch in the project's third phase. Built on the ERC-1155 standard, the platform will be compatible with meme coins built on top blockchains. Crypto influencers have been featuring the project for its ambitious vision.
The $STARS presale has crossed the $2.5 million mark.

4. Flockerz (FLOCK)

Flockerz ($FLOCK) is an upcoming meme coin that sets new standards for community engagement and participation.

In most crypto projects, decision-making is concentrated within a small, centralised group of people. True community involvement in governance is rarely seen. Flockerz aims to change that. Every $FLOCK holder gets a voice in the Flockerz governance. The name “Flockerz” is fitting, as it gives control back to the “flock”—the investors themselves.

Flockerz has introduced a dual rewards system.

The vote-to-earn model allows community members to earn $FLOCK tokens for their participation in decision-making.
A passive rewards mechanism has been implemented for early backers who vault their tokens. The APY (annual percentage yield) gradually decreases as more people join the project.

In the $FLOCK presale that is now live, early investors can secure tokens at fixed, discounted prices. Flockerz broke the $1 million presale milestone.
