Validated Project

Where are Meme Coins Most Popular?

The meme coin craze in 2023 has been led by the United States (US), India and the United Kingdom (UK), where more than half of the meme coin fans this year are based. Meme coins are also popular in Southeast Asia’s Philippines and Malaysia, Nigeria and Morocco on the African continent, Oceania’s Australia and New Zealand, and Canada.

These top 10 countries represent a diverse mix of regions and economic development, indicating that meme coins have a global appeal and popularity. In total, the top 10 countries leading the meme coin craze in 2023 make up 82.9% or the majority of interest in the speculative assets.

US Interest in Meme Coins

The US is unsurprisingly leading the meme coin craze, accounting for 23.6% of the interest in 2023 so far with over 2 million views of the top meme coin pages.

The most popular meme coin in the US this year is Shiba Inu, which generated 60.7% of US interest in meme coins. Recent trending crypto Pepe drove another 11.8% of meme coin interest in the US, followed by Bonk and Volt Inu.

India Interest in Meme Coins

India is a close second in driving the meme coin hype this year, making up 20.3% of interest across all countries.

Shiba Inu is also the most popular coin in India, driving 55.8% of the South Asian country’s interest in the speculative asset. Meanwhile, Baby Doge Coin generated a relatively high 29.9% of India interest in meme coins.

Philippines & Nigeria Interest in Meme Coins

In the Philippines, Floki has generated 26.7% of the country’s meme coin interest this year. Shiba Inu and Bonk received similar levels of interest at 18.3% and 17.8% respectively. Baby Doge Coin and Pepe were close behind, with 12.7% and 10.2% share of Philippines meme coin interest respectively.

Similarly, Nigeria’s meme coin interest has a relatively different profile than the other 8 countries. Floki and ArbDoge AI captured the highest interest at 24.2% and 20.8% respectively. Dogelon Mars generated 17.4% of Nigera’s interest in meme coins, despite receiving limited interest share elsewhere.

This suggests that people in the Philippines and Nigeria are also keeping an eye on the less well-known meme coins, instead of aping into those that are already trending.

Which Meme Coins People are Most Interested In

People are by far most interested in Shiba Inu, which drove 46.7% of interest among the top meme coins in 2023. Baby Doge Coin generated 12.3% of meme coin interest, followed by more recent meme coins Pepe (9.4%), Floki (8.6%) and Bonk (8.2%).

Pepe captured the most meme coin interest among people in Canada, accounting for 26.9%.

On the other hand, pioneer Dogecoin generated 61.1% of Morocco’s interest in meme coins, but received only minor interest among the rest of the countries.

Solana-based Bonk’s price pump gained attention earlier in the year, when it achieved over 300% price return in 8 days, compared to 141 days for Shiba Inu and 1,253 days for Dogecoin.

  • Trump: Data Centers May Be More Important Than Oil

    August 7 news, U.S. President Trump said in an interview with Punchbowl News, "I saw the other day that Texas seems to be opposed to building data centers. I think that's a mistake. I'm not taking a position—I just think it's a mistake, because there are other communities that want to build data centers. When a community is willing to accept data centers, it means a lot of money will flow into that community. I don't think they're ugly. Some of the data centers I've seen are the most incredible buildings I've ever seen. They are very important to the economy. If Texas says no to data centers, that's a mistake, because data centers may be more important than oil."

  • Trump to Meet with Mining Executives

    On August 7, according to CCTV International News, US President Trump will convene executives from some of the world's largest mining companies at the US State Department on August 7 local time, in an effort to take action to 'secure critical mineral supplies for the US and its allies.' Reuters reported that the US urgently needs critical minerals to replenish weapons inventories depleted during the war against Iran. During the more than five-month war with Iran, the US military expended large quantities of precision-guided missiles and air defense interceptors. US defense officials and lawmakers have warned that given existing production capacity constraints, replenishing some stockpiles could take years—although the Trump administration has denied reports of a so-called 'severe shortage of ammunition stockpiles.' According to Pentagon officials and defense companies, supplies of minerals such as rare earths, tungsten, germanium, and scandium are essential for manufacturing precision-guided missiles, fighter jets, armored vehicles, infrared sensors, and other advanced weapons systems. Expected attendees include industry giants such as global mining giant Rio Tinto Group, Australia's BHP, US Freeport-McMoRan, US Mountain Pass Materials, US Rare Earths, US Energy Fuels, and Canada's Metals Company. According to sources, the Trump administration plans to announce multiple deals and memorandums of understanding.
