Some of the biggest gains in crypto history have come from meme tokens priced under $1 — often just fractions of a cent — with the potential to deliver 100x returns seemingly overnight.
Now sitting at a $71 billion market cap after a 1.2% overnight rise, the meme coin sector is gearing up for what could be its most explosive bull run yet — and a handful of ultra-cheap tokens are already flashing early breakout signals.
When crypto surges, the best meme coins don’t just keep pace — they often leave the rest of the market in the dust.
Here are three micro-priced meme coin tokens that could be on a rocket ride toward the elusive $1 milestone.
MIND of Pepe ($MIND): AI-Enhanced Tools for Crypto Traders

Pengu ($PENGU): Solana’s Rising Penguin Approaches $1 Billion Market Cap
PENGU, Solana’s answer to Ethereum’s Pudgy Penguins NFT collection, only launched in December — but it’s already made waves, now sitting as the fifth-largest meme coin on the Solana chain with a market cap near $752.6 million.
Trading around $0.01197 after blowing up 149% in thirty days, PENGU undergoing a slight correction which has shaved 14.5% off its current price.
The current Relative Strength Index (RSI) is 40 and falling — just 10 points off the oversold zone — suggesting a potentially strong bounceback when investors reaccumulate at a discount.
Momentum in the meme coin space remains strong, and PENGU could easily benefit. Technical indicators also point to potential: a descending wedge pattern — often a bullish setup — played out between January and April. A breakout could push PENGU on a major move toward $0.04 by mid-June.
Popcat ($POPCAT): Solana’s Favorite Feline Tokens Eye the $1 Level
Popcat ($POPCAT) has claimed its place as the biggest cat-themed meme token and ranks sixth overall among meme coins on the Solana blockchain, boasting a current market cap of $417.4 million.
The last thirty days have seen $POPCAT’s value increase by 77%, showing continued strength.
Like PENGU, Popcat is now undergoing a correction after an 8.4% overnight dip. However, there are indicators that the token could hit a dollar by mid-June.
Popcat’s RSI is 50 and falling, which suggests a broad sell-off is taking place that should cool towards the weekend. When Popcat rebounds, it is likely to first test resistance near $0.80. A break above that level may open the path toward the $1.20 mark.
With Solana-based meme coins now accounting for $12 billion — or about 17% of the entire $71 billion meme coin sector — Popcat’s rise, like PENGU’s, mirrors the broader shift toward Solana’s growing meme ecosystem.
