01 The set
What is on this board
One tag, nothing folded into it: these are the coins CoinMarketCap files under memes. The top 1,000 by market cap holds 109 of them, and the board draws the 100 largest — past that a bubble comes out smaller than its own label.
There is no test a coin passes to be here and no line separating a memecoin from a project with a mascot. The tag is a description of how a token presents itself, and the boundary is genuinely fuzzy — which matters more in this sector than in the other two, because the label is most of what these assets have in common.
Everything else works the way it does on the whole-market board: size is market cap, color is the price change over the period on the buttons, and grey means a coin barely moved. The longer version, with the exact color thresholds, is in the guide.

Both tables are drawn from this board only, and every coin in them traded at least $10M in the past 24 hours. That volume floor is the same one the whole-market board uses, and it matters more here: a sector is a slice, so fewer coins clear a fixed dollar amount, and the ones that do not are exactly where a spectacular percentage turns out to be one buyer on a quiet market.
03 Background
What are meme coins?
A meme coin is one whose value proposition is the joke — the reference, the mascot, the community around it — rather than a product it powers. Dogecoin, created in 2013 as a parody of the cryptocurrencies of the day, is still the largest of them, which tells you most of what the category is about.
What moves the price is attention. Most of these have no revenue, no users to count and no roadmap to miss, so the usual inputs to a valuation are simply absent. What is left is how many people are looking: a post from someone with a large following, a listing on a big exchange, a format spreading on one social network. That is the mechanism stated plainly, and it is why the same coin can double and halve inside a week without anything happening to it.
The supply usually exists from day one. Most of the recent ones are created through a launchpad on a fast, cheap chain, with the whole supply minted at once. So there is no schedule of future unlocks to watch, unlike most other sectors — and no floor either, because nothing in the design puts one there.
What this board cannot show you is the failures. A coin needs a top-1,000 market cap to appear here at all, and the overwhelming majority never get one or do not keep it. So this is the winners' bracket. Judging the health of the sector from it is reading a league table with the relegated teams deleted, and it is the single biggest way a picture like this misleads.
It is also the thinnest board on the site. Most of the coins on it trade below the volume floor the tables above use, which means a large percentage here often describes one buyer rather than a market changing its mind.
04 The app
The same filter, over the whole market
This page is one fixed slice: one sector, the largest names in it, four periods, prices in dollars. The app it was cut from carries all 1,000 coins and lets you set the filter yourself — by category, by chain ecosystem, by exchange — then keep what you found as favorites. Free, no ads, no account, and it runs in a browser tab as well as on a phone.
