Weekly Gainers in Memecoins: $MOODENG, $PNUT, and $PURPE Take the Spotlight
This week in the memecoin market was nothing short of explosive. As fresh liquidity poured in and market sentiment turned bullish, a handful of memecoins stole the show with eye-catching gains, surging volumes, and renewed trader enthusiasm. Leading the pack were $MOODENG, $PNUT, and $PURPE — each demonstrating strong momentum and investor attention.
🥇 $MOODENG: The Breakout Star with Over 200% Gains
Topping the weekly leaderboard is $MOODENG, delivering an outstanding 207% gain over the past seven days. This memecoin didn’t just pump — it roared to life, backed by a staggering $850 million in trading volume.
What’s more impressive is that it reached a market cap of $140 million, a remarkable feat considering where it started. With its unique branding and growing community presence, $MOODENG is showing signs of becoming a staple in the memecoin ecosystem. Coinbase remains the dominant trading venue, hosting a significant chunk of that volume and likely helping to fuel its viral momentum.
🥈 $PNUT: Going Nuts with Volume and Ranking
Next in line is $PNUT, which lived up to its name by going absolutely nuts this week. With 83% weekly gains, $PNUT not only surged in price but also became a volume titan. It officially climbed into the 5th spot among memecoins by trading volume, sitting just behind $BONK — an established memecoin player.
$PNUT’s weekly trading volume flirted with the $1 billion mark, closing in at around $925 million, and it achieved a market cap of $330 million. This is a massive leap and shows just how quickly sentiment can shift in the memecoin sector. Most of the liquidity was concentrated on Binance, giving it the fuel needed for this impressive rally.
🥉 $PURPE: The Purple Frog Rides Alongside $PEPE
Rounding out the top gainers is $PURPE, the self-proclaimed purple brother of $PEPE. While it may not have the same trading volume or cap as the giants, it captured the imagination of traders and memecoin enthusiasts alike. Riding the same wave that lifted $PEPE, $PURPE clocked a weekly gain of 82%, with $3.8 million in volume and a market cap of $31 million.
While it’s the smallest among the top performers this week, that also means it’s potentially the most volatile — and possibly one to watch closely in the coming days. Small caps can explode just as easily as they correct, making $PURPE a candidate for both opportunities and caution.
Outlook: Volatility Ahead
If this week taught us anything, it’s that volatility is back in the memecoin space — and in a big way. With billions in fresh volume and aggressive market moves, next week could bring more fireworks… or a sharp cooldown.
As always in the world of memecoins, gains can turn to losses overnight — and vice versa. Keep an eye on volume trends, market cap ratios, and where the whales are swimming.
Strap in. The next round of madness might just be around the corner.
