Elon Musk, known as the Dogefather, continues to entertain with memes even on New Year’s Eve.
While many were busy preparing for celebrations or enjoying drinks, Musk was engaging his followers on X.
This reflects his belief that how one spends New Year’s Eve sets the tone for the upcoming year. His approach suggests he intends to keep ‘keking.
Musk changed his profile picture to an image featuring Kekius Maximus, which shows Pepe the Frog dressed as a Roman general.
This sparked interest in the new meme coin Kekius Maximus ($KEKIUS), prompting a buying frenzy that saw $KEKIUS jump by 136%, $KEKE by 893%, and $PEPE by 19%.
While some say 2025 is the Year of the Snake, savvy investors recognize it as the Year of the Frog. We’ve selected top frog-themed tokens to kickstart the year.
$PEPE – The Classic Frog Coin Remains Strong
$PEPE is a staple in the meme coin world, boasting an $8B market cap. When a new Pepe-themed project takes off, existing $PEPE holders benefit as well.
As one of the early meme coins with no real utility, $PEPE relies on its dedicated community of HODLers, making it a relatively secure investment nearly two years after its launch.
$KEKIUS – Will Musk’s Favorite Rule the Meme Coin Scene?
Musk first expressed support for Kekius Maximus on December 10, sharing an image from X’s AI Grok, which led to the rapid creation of the $KEKIUS token.
The name blends the internet term ‘kek’ (laughter) with the character Maximus from the film Gladiator.
After Musk’s profile update to Kekius Maximus, the token experienced a surge of 136%. While it’s too soon to predict if $KEKIUS can maintain this surge like $PEPE, early investors might find potential for profit.
$WEPE – A Frog Defending Against Crypto Manipulation
Similar to Maximus challenging a corrupt empire, Wall Street Pepe ($WEPE) is fighting against crypto insiders.
With a goal to democratize trading, $WEPE is forming the Frog Army, a community sharing insights and strategies among investors.
The presale has already attracted significant interest, raising nearly $39M. Currently, $WEPE is priced at $0.0003662, with an impending price increase.
$SOLX – Innovating Solana’s Scalability
Solaxy ($SOLX) combines meme culture with practical utility, aiming to resolve Solana’s scalability issues through a custom Layer-2 solution.
In its first month of presale, $SOLX raised $7.5M. Analysts suggest it could see significant growth after its launch, making the current price of $0.001586 an attractive entry point.
$MEMEX – Diversifying Meme Coin Investments
The Meme Index ($MEMEX) illustrates the blending of investment aspirations with a disdain for traditional finance.
The meme coin market is highly volatile, as seen with $KEKIUS’s 136% leap in a single day. Investors can experience significant gains or losses in short periods, making picking the right project crucial.
The Meme Index simplifies investment by offering four baskets of meme coins tailored to different risk levels.
Currently, $MEMEX is available at $0.0148047 during presale, with the next price increase looming in 22 hours, presenting a timely investment opportunity.
Meme Coin Market Reaches $11B Valuation
The overall market cap for frog-themed meme coins has exceeded $11B. While $PEPE continues to dominate, newcomers such as $KEKIUS, $WEPE, $SOLX, and $MEMEX show promise to upend the hierarchy.
Determining which token will emerge as the leading meme coin remains uncertain. As always, it’s essential to conduct thorough research, diversify your investments, and only invest funds that you can afford to lose.
