The crypto market is in the midst of a bull cycle, with Bitcoin today recording unprecedented highs of $89,000 and meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu soaring.
Meme coin analyst Murad Mahmudov has been predicting a coming ‘meme coin supercycle’ that could see token values surpass the gains earned in tokens like $DOGE and $SHIB in 2021. While Mahmudov has highlighted broad trends and predicted skyrocketing values, he hasn’t put a specific number on just how high the meme coin market could go—until now.
In a new tweet, Mahmudov suggested that the top meme coins of the supercycle could explode to market caps ranging from $20 billion to $100 billion.

To put that in perspective, Dogecoin currently has a market cap of $48 billion and Shiba Inu has a market cap of just $16 billion. So, the stakes for traders and investors picking the right tokens early are huge.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at 4 emerging meme coins with the potential to be among the biggest winners of this cycle.
Pepe Unchained
Pepe Unchained is nearing the end of one of the biggest meme coin presales of the fall. The project has raised more than $26 million for a new Ethereum Layer-2 network built around meme coin trading.
The new network promises ultra-fast execution speeds and low transaction fees, making it the ideal place for launching and trading new meme coins. Transaction fees will require the project’s native $PEPU meme coin, giving this token immense value within the Pepe Unchained ecosystem.
Pepe Unchained could explode in value once the meme coin supercycle gets underway. Analyst Jacob ‘Crypto’ Bury—who has a history of predicting highly successful meme coin launches—predicted it could 10x after launch.
In an even more bullish scenario, Pepe Unchained could surpass Solana’s Pump.fun as a hub for meme coin launches during the supercycle and generate massive gains for early investors.
The presale is on track to sell out its hard cap, so there’s no time to wait to buy $PEPU. As an added bonus, presale investors can stake their coins and fill their bags ahead of the launch with 90% APY rewards.
Crypto All-Stars
Crypto All-Stars is another exciting new meme coin with utility that could help it explode during the meme coin supercycle. The project offers staking rewards on top meme coins like $DOGE, $SHIB, and $PEPE through an innovative Meme Vault.
Staking rewards are paid out in $STARS, the native meme coin of Crypto All-Stars. The token has viral potential, and its value is increased even further thanks to a detail of how staking rewards work: investors who stake $STARS alongside their other meme coins can earn 3x higher rewards in the Meme Vault.
That provides a major incentive for the Crypto All-Stars community to hold onto their $STARS, driving up the token’s value. The Meme Vault has 25% of the total $STARS token supply available to distribute as rewards, so there’s a lot of potential for investors to unlock.
The Crypto All-Stars presale has already raised more than $3.3 million, showing just how intense demand is for this new meme coin. Early investors can earn 477% APY during the presale and they’ll be the first to get access to the Meme Vault when it launches.

Popcat
Popcat is already a large-cap meme coin, but this token has such roaring momentum that it could be one of the biggest winners of the coming supercycle. In the past week alone, $POPCAT is up more than 30% and is trading more than $300 million worth of tokens per day.
In fact, Mahmudov singled out $POPCAT as one of the most explosive meme coins on the market. In a tweet yesterday, he suggested the token could run to $5 or more—a gain of more than 3x from the current price.
Traders appear to be heeding his prediction, driving the price up another 6% in the past 24 hours. Technical analysis shows a very bullish trajectory for $POPCAT, suggesting it could build on its already impressive $1.58 billion market cap and overtake $FLOKI as the 6th-largest meme coin by market cap.

If Mahmudov’s $20B+ prediction is correct, Popcat’s already high market cap isn’t an obstacle to this token’s growth. Even after reaching $5, $POPCAT could explode another 5x before hitting $20 billion and overtaking $SHIB.
Department of Government Efficiency
Department of Government Efficiency is a relatively new meme coin that’s exploding in the wake of Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election. It’s up 1,700% in the past month and is currently trading on volume of more than $13 million.
The $DOGE token is primed for virality as it encompasses several themes the meme coin community loves: Trump, Elon Musk, and loosening crypto regulations. As Trump takes office and makes good on his promise to put Musk in charge of a new Department of Government Efficiency, the namesake token is likely to shoot for the moon.
There’s also tons of room for growth in $DOGE. It has a market cap of just over $150 million and has listed on only a few, relatively minor centralized exchanges. A continued surge in trading could encourage more exchanges to list $DOGE, putting even more momentum behind the token and kicking off a supercycle-worthy run.
