Solana-based meme coins have been absolutely ripping the crypto markets, and $POPCAT is one of the hottest cat-themed tokens on the scene. With a new all time high of $1.67 on October 24th, Popcat has pounced past the one and a half billion-dollar market cap in no time.
As the Great Meme Super Cycle — a narrative championed by meme coin oracle Murad Mehmudov — gets ready to kick off, it's time to talk about Popcat price predictions for 2024, 2025, and 2026. How high can Popcat climb?
Murad suggests the coin is still in its accumulation phase, with a potential shot at $5 on the horizon. But is this really in the cards?
At the same time, there's another under-the-radar project gaining attention among savvy investors: Pikamoon (PIKA). Some analysts are calling for an eye-popping 100x to 500x surge from PIKA, which could dwarf even the most optimistic projections for Popcat.
$POPCAT Upward Trajectory & Price Forecast
$POPCAT launched in December 2023, but this cat didn’t really pop until March 2024. Since then, the token’s been on an absolute tear, pulling off a mind-blowing +400x pump over the past 7 months.
At the time of writing, Popcat is trading around $1.64 with a 24-hour trading volume of $200M and a market cap sitting pretty at $1.62B.
What really powered Popcat's rise?
Flipping the script with its hilarious cat mascot that offers a break from the usual dog or frog themed meme coins has definitely helped the rise of Pop cult. However, the key was its listings on multiple exchanges, especially on Binance Perpetuals, which brought serious exposure and allowed millions of meme coin fans to grab their share of $POPCAT on the world’s largest crypto exchange.
In addition, Lookonchain also reported a whale aping in with 39,816 SOL (worth $5.73M) to scoop up 10M $POPCAT—a significant chunk considering Popcat’s limited circulating supply of just 980 million tokens.
With this kind of whale action and rising demand, the question now is: how high can the price go?

Popcat Price Predictions December 2024
- Potential High: $4.95
Tying all the above factors together with rumors of listing on tier-1 exchanges like Binance spot, or Coinbase potentially in the cards for Popcat, the future outlook remains highly bullish. Just in time for the meme super cycle expected to kick off towards the end of 2024, Popcat could ride that momentum to hit $4.95, marking a near +200% pump from its current price.
Popcat Price Predictions 2025
- Potential High: $9.65
Crypto insiders believe the meme cycle could peak in 2025, creating a highly bullish scenario for Popcat. As a unique cat-themed meme coin on Solana with a cult of 82.55K hodlers (and rising), it could reach $9.65 by mid 2025, which would represent a jaw-dropping +478% pump from today’s price.
Pikamoon (PIKA): The Real 100x-500x Sleeper in the Meme Coin Market
While Popcat has impressive potential for a 6x gain, PIKA is on a whole different level. Many experts point to its extremely inviting market cap, dual utility as a meme/gaming token, and one of the fastest growing cult-like communities in Web3 as key factors for its potential 100x to 500x gains.
Let’s explore these in a bit more detail.
A Low Market Cap Means Higher Upside Potential
Popcat, as mentioned earlier, might hit 6x in the best case, which is solid but not groundbreaking anymore.
The reason why Popcat’s upside is limited is that it has already pumped nearly 400x and enjoys a sizable market cap. Bigger market cap coins, like Popcat, require a massive amount of liquidity to move.
Essentially, it takes a flood of new money to push the price higher, and many early investors will likely take profits along the way, making it harder for the coin to deliver truly exponential gains.
Now compare that to PIKA, a low market cap gem that hasn’t even begun its major price run yet.
With a small market cap of $6.8 million and current trading price of around $0.00039, it would take substantially less capital to spark a huge price move. Even a modest influx of investors could send the price skyrocketing. This is where the 100x to 500x potential comes in.
If PIKA were to 100x from its current price of around $0.00039, it would hit $0.039, and a 500x would push it to approximately $0.195 — numbers that are totally achievable given the low market cap and the explosive potential of the project.
To put this into perspective, if PIKA hits $0.039 (a 100x move), its market cap would still only be around $680 million, which is substantially less than where Popcat currently stands.
Of course, that is all assuming the circulating supply remains the same. However, PIKA is a deflationary token, meaning its supply will decrease over time, further boosting its potential as a 100x meme coin.
Utility Meets Meme Power: Pikamoon’s Dual Potential
What makes Pikamoon even more exciting is that it’s not just another meme coin; it’s a dual-utility token. PIKA serves as the native currency for the highly anticipated Pikamoon Game, an upcoming AAA Web3 open-world adventure.
This dual utility—combining the viral power of a meme coin with the real-world utility of a gaming token—is what gives PIKA such a unique edge in the market.
Not to mention, the game is backed by Orbit Cosmos, one of Asia’s fastest-growing gaming studios, poised to flip its Asian competitor Nintendo. In due course, this will see PIKA surpass $1.35 valuations.
With the support of this powerhouse studio, Pikamoon’s upcoming 3D free-roaming Battle Royale mode is expected to be a major hit, driving organic demand for the PIKA token as in-game currency while keeping the meme coin vibes alive.
A Cult Following: PIKA’s Secret Weapon
As any seasoned trader knows, community is everything when it comes to meme coins, and Pikamoon has been building a strong one since its inception. The project is entirely community-backed with no VC involvement at all.
In addition, Pikamoon boasts a 70,000+ strong Pika Army, a community that’s already fiercely loyal to the project. Before the presale sold out in early 2024, PIKA raised over $1.4 million in less than a week during what’s being called the ‘PIKA Gold Rush’.
As meme coin prophet Murad Mehmudov has pointed out, it’s often these cult-like communities that power billion dollar meme coin movements. With such a dedicated following, it’s easy to see why many insiders believe PIKA could skyrocket as the Meme Super Cycle unfolds.
In short, the loyal holders, combined with the token’s low market cap, make it an ideal candidate for explosive growth, potentially pushing it past $0.2 by mid 2025 (about 500x increase).
Pikamoon (PIKA) is currently trading on Bitget, Uniswap and MEXC.
