5 Best Meme Coins to Buy During the Current Market Conditions

The market's volatility has led the meme coin market to crash again. The collective market cap of the current meme coin market is just above $68 billion

The meme coin market has crashed again amid the broader market volatility, with the collective market cap of current meme coins dropping by more than $50 billion in a month and currently sitting just above the $68 billion mark.

However, because of the inherently sentimental nature of meme coins, the current drop could be considered a good opportunity to buy them.

The best meme coins to buy during the current market crash aren’t limited to assets that are currently live on cryptocurrency exchanges; there are also several meme coin initial coin offerings (ICOs) making the rounds. This article will provide a mix of both types of meme coins.

5 Best Meme Coins to Buy During the Current Market Conditions

Shiba Inu

While the volatile market conditions have pushed Shiba Inu into a bearish zone, there has been some positive momentum behind this meme coin recently, making it one of the best meme coins to recover in 2025.

Since the beginning of February, the SHIB token has recovered by more than 40%. While the recent candles are red, the symmetrical triangle pattern forming indicates that a breakout is likely to happen anytime soon.

At the time of writing, Shiba Inu is trading at close to $0.000015, and it has a market cap of over $9.2 billion.

One reason behind the current bullish sentiment around Shiba Inu is the token’s partnership with the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure of the United Arab Emirates.

While this partnership has made Shiba Inu more appealing to degens because of the short-term impact on value, it is also an important consideration for Shiba Inu’s long-term potential, which is full of use cases around decentralized finance (DeFi), entertainment, and gaming.

Meme Index

When investing in meme coins, it is important to diversify your investments. However, not only is the research to find the best meme coins to buy difficult, but the transaction fee for each token can also be cumbersome. Meme Index circumvents this issue by providing a decentralized meme coin index.

This index is akin to a basket containing multiple meme coins. Investors can invest in these indices and gain exposure to many meme coins in one go. Furthermore, with Meme Index’s decentralized nature, index rebalancing does not only rely on standard technical attributes; sentiment indicators through community voting are also considered.

Powering this ecosystem is the MEMEX token. It is an ERC-20 asset that can be used to gain access to the Meme Index DAO, which then allows investors to decide which tokens to add and remove from individual meme coin indices.

Furthermore, depending on the volatility of the meme coins, Meme Index offers four different indices: at the top is the Meme Titan Index, then the Moonshot Index, Midcap Index, and finally, the Meme Frenzy Index.

While utility is at the center of Meme Index’s offerings, the project also takes its meme-based appeal seriously. Most of the tweets it has posted on social media are comedic, focusing on information and jokes in equal measure. It is, therefore, no surprise that crypto experts are calling it the next big meme coin.

Meme Index has raised over $3.5 million during the presale round and is currently available at a discount price of around $0.16.

BTC Bull

After making waves across the crypto space by raising upwards of $500K within the first 24 hours, as reported by Cointelegraph, BTC Bull could be one of the best meme coins to invest in this year.

A simple, social token, the strength of BTC Bull lies in the fact that it doesn’t feign any utility but only focuses on creating a community that can help Bitcoin (BTC) reach the next golden mark – $1 million.

The entire narrative around the meme coin on its official website – btcbulltoken.com – is to establish an ecosystem and tokenomics that evolves when Bitcoin hits certain targets. The use cases defined in the tokenomics focus on introducing a Bitcoin airdrop when Bitcoin hits $150k and initiating the first round of token burning when Bitcoin reaches the $175k level. And when Bitcoin hits the $250k level, which is expected if CryptoQuant’s report is to be believed, another $BTCBULL airdrop will be initiated.

The image portrayed of the project’s mascot, a bull, is heroic. It can potentially introduce a new meme animal to rally behind and give investors a meme crypto that rides the Bitcoin narrative. These multiple aspects make BTC Bull the meme coin to keep a close watch on this year.

Bonk

BONK’s arrival on Christmas of 2022 and its subsequent surge after riding the Solana (SOL) wave made it one of the top five meme coins by market capitalization. And while the current market conditions are anything but conducive to its growth, the integrations and token burns could give it a boost.

Bonk announced on February 7th on Twitter that upwards of
