Let’s dive into the three projects that have crypto Twitter’s attention this month—including a new player that enters the game today.’s just entered the game.

Keanu (KNU)

While other memes have been busy establishing themselves as blue chips, a new challenger approaches. Keanu (KNU) is generating serious buzz after conducting its pump.fun fair lunch this week, and for good reason: it’s probably the first memecoin that doesn’t make you feel like you need to take a shower after buying it.

Drawing inspiration from the internet’s most beloved human (and arguably the only celebrity that literally everyone likes), KNU is positioning itself as the anti-toxicity play in a landscape of endless warfare. The tokenomics are clean: a 100% fair launch on Solana’s favorite launchpad, with no VC bags or dodgy allocations. But it’s the vibe, not the details, that’s getting the community excited.

In a space where projects brand themselves as murderers of one another (how many “DOGE killers” have there been now?), Keanu is betting that “Be Excellent To Each Other” might actually be the ultimate play. Whether you’re here for Neo’s wisdom, John Wick’s intensity, or just because Keanu Reeves is quite literally the most based human alive, KNU is shaping up to be one of the most interesting new memes this month.

Popcat (POPCAT)

Remember when everyone said the cat meta was dead? Yeah, about that… POPCAT has been absolutely demolishing expectations, turning degens into full-on whales faster than you can say “end the fed”. With its simple yet addictive game mechanics and god-tier memes, this feline freight train shows no signs of slowing down.

What started as “just another cat coin” has evolved into one of Solana’s most recognizable brands. Whether you’re in it for the pops, the gains, or the weirdly hypnotic cat animation, POPCAT has proven that sometimes the simplest ideas hit hardest, and its chart tells the story.

This beast is up by 20,000% year-to-date, causing thousands of degens around the world to kick themselves for not getting in earlier. But it’s still not too late: POPCAT has pumped from a sub-$1 billion market cap in early October to nearly $2 billion today, showing that it’s got plenty left in the tank and absolutely warrants considering as we head towards 2025.

Moo Deng (MOODENG)

Moo Deng is the hippo that took Solana by storm. The token is based on its namesake, a pygmy hippopotamus in a Thai zoo captured the hearts (and wallets) of degens worldwide by simply being… well,an adorable hippo doing hippo things.

As real-life Moo Deng sent zoo visits soaring in Thailand, the MOODENG token proved to be a revelation on Solana, with a market cap of over half a billion dollars already, after launching as recently as September. With over a billion views and over a million dedicated fans, the Moo Deng party has only just begun, and new all-time highs came in just last week.

With consistent volume and a global community united by the golden ticket for memecoin success—a cute-ass animal—Moo Deng has earned its place in the SOL meme pantheon. Token holders could soon end up with bags that are even chubbier than the hippo itself.

The bottom line

While Popcat and Moo Deng have already proven themselves as Solana meme royalty, Keanu brings something fresh to the table. The real question isn’t whether there’s room for another player—it’s whether crypto Twitter is ready for a memecoin that promotes kindness without losing its distinct degen edge.

If you’re already diving into the SOL meme ecosystem this month, these are the three projects worth keeping on your radar, and from the established to the new, they all have serious potential to rip even harder.
