7 Meme Coins That Sounded Like a Joke—Until They Started Making Money

The freakier, the better. That motto may be true for underground art or questionable fashion trends but apparently, it works in crypto too. In the world of meme coins, absurdity is often the whole point.

Meme coins thrive on attention, and the more outlandish the concept, the louder the buzz. All those frogs and dogs and gas-themed tokens, or a mashup of political figures and anime characters, do whatever it takes to stand out, even if it means diving headfirst into the bizarre.

Surprisingly, despite the humor, some of the most seemingly absurd meme coins have delivered returns with gains in the thousands of percent.

Here’s a roundup of some of the weirdest and most absurd meme coin concepts that actually made it to market (and sometimes made a lot of money doing it).

FartCoin

Yes… unfortunately (or fortunately?) FartCoin is very real and it’s exactly what it sounds like. FartCoin (FART) is one of those joke tokens launched during the meme coin frenzy, aiming to push absurdity to its limits. Its mission sounds like “tokenising farts with the help of bots”. 

It’s part of a long tradition of deliberately ridiculous coins, created more for laughs than for lasting value. Still, FART has demonstrated significant growth from its lowest level. 

  • Blockchain: Solana
  • Current Price: Approximately $1.08 
  • Market Capitalization: Around $1.08 billion 
  • 24-Hour Trading Volume: Approximately $122 million
  • Circulating Supply: 1,000,000,000 FARTCOIN
  • Price Change from All-time Low: Over 4900%

HarryPotterObamaSonicInu (BITCOIN)

What’s truly baffling about HarryPotterObamaSonicInu (BITCOIN) isn’t its name. As bizarre as it sounds, it almost feels tame once you realize the project features a North Korean defector endorsing it on a website that looks like it time-traveled from the late ’90s.

The most ridiculous feature is probably its ticker, BITCOIN. Yes, you read that right. It’s a blatant swipe at crypto’s most iconic name, seemingly hoping to ride the coattails of Satoshi’s creation. 

Can this meme mashup become a legitimate store of value? Well, at least one defector thinks so. But with a jaw-dropping total supply of 1 quadrillion tokens, it’s going to be quite the uphill climb.

  • Current Price: Approximately $0.053 
  • Market Capitalization: Around $54.5 million
  • 24-Hour Trading Volume: Approximately $2.6 million 
  • Circulating Supply: Approximately 999.8 million BITCOIN tokens
  • Price Change from All-time Low: 7999%

Jeo Boden (BODEN)

Jeo Boden (BODEN) is what happens when crypto meets political parody and a typo. Named after a cheeky misspelling of President Joe Biden, this meme coin wasn’t built to lead a nation — but it is trying to rally a community through laughter. 

Launched as a humorous jab at the political circus, BODEN leans hard into the meme game, poking fun at headlines, debates, and just about anything that makes politics weird. 

BODEN is that meme coin that actually made it to $1. In April 2024 its price peaked at around $0.94, marking a headspinning surge of over 75,000%. 

Like most meme coins, BODEN’s price chart looks like a rollercoaster at a county fair — steep climbs followed by gut-dropping dips, all powered by social media chatter and meme-fueled momentum.  

  • Blockchain: Solana
  • Current Price: Approximately $0.11
  • Market Cap: Approximately $76.15 million (fully diluted market cap)
  • 24-Hour Trading Volume: Approximately $13.20 million
  • Price Change from All-time Low: 75,000%

Codename:Pepe (AGNT)

If ChatGPT and Pepe the Frog had a lovechild during a crypto bull run, you’d get Codename:Pepe (AGNT). It is a self-proclaimed undercover operative sent to expose fake AI agents while promising to trade meme coins better than Wall Street bots. Allegedly armed with top-secret algorithms and a trench coat full of “classified strategies,” this frog’s mission is to deliver “mass hilarity” with a side of 98% first-stage discounts.

Codename:Pepe assigns its investors on a mission. As a reward, they get access to a “top-secret DAO,” AI-generated signals (as if that isn’t already a dime a dozen), and the hope that its $AGNT token will one day be worth more than the energy spent decoding its gimmicks. 

As the presale of AGNT launched, its price was just $0.003333333 and now it already costs $0.033333, which is around 900% increase. There is a big scope for growth, as the listing price is anticipated to be $1. 

Whether it’s satire, genius marketing, or a memetic fever dream gone rogue, one thing’s certain: Codename:Pepe takes ridiculous to 00-heaven.

  • Blockchain: Ethereum
  • Current Price: $0.033333
  • Market Cap: Over $2 million
  • Planned listing price: $1
  • Price Change from All-time Low: 900%

PooCoin (POOCOIN)

PooCoin (POOCOIN) might sound like a bad bathroom joke — and yes, the name is very much toilet humor — but behind the flush-worthy branding is a surprisingly useful crypto tool. Built on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), PooCoin provides real-time charts, portfolio tracking, and trade data for BSC tokens.

The coin offers features like a rug check tool to sniff out scams, a developer wallet tracker, and even an in-app token swap function. It also runs on an 8% transaction fee, with 4% burned and 4% redistributed to holders. At some point, POOCOIN reached an all-time high of $14.26, marking a tremendous 223,000% increase from its all-time low of $0.0001381. 

In short, PooCoin is proof that even a meme coin with a juvenile name can be surprisingly… solid.

  • Blockchain: BNB Smart Chain (BEP20)
  • Current Price: Approximately $0.39
  • Market Capitalization: Approximately $3.95 million (fully diluted)
  • 24-Hour Trading Volume: Approximately $374
  • Price Change from All-time Low: 223,679%

Popcat (POPCAT)

Popcat (POPCAT) takes one of the internet’s most absurdly lovable memes — the wide-mouthed, click-happy feline known as “Popcat” — and turns it into a fast-moving Solana-based token with serious meme energy. What started as a viral image has clawed its way into the crypto world, backed by a growing fanbase that thrives on humor, community, and cat-themed chaos. While it may look like just another internet joke, Popcat actually aims to build a playful platform where entertainment, interaction, and meme-fueled creativity all come together.

  • Blockchain: Solana
  • Current Price: Approximately $0.26
  • Market Cap: Approximately $254.22 million
  • 24-Hour Trading Volume: Approximately $26.32 million
  • Price Change from All-time Low: 10,948%

XYZVerse (XYZ)

In a sea of outrageously ridiculous meme coins, XYZVerse stands out by being weird in a surprisingly structured way. It might just be the most “normal” of all the freaks — and that’s exactly what makes it interesting.

Blending sports fandom and meme energy, XYZVerse is the first-ever all-sports meme coin — something nobody asked for, but now that it exists, somehow makes perfect sense. 

At the heart of it is its punchy mascot, XYZepe, a fearless warrior who represents the fusion of athletic drive and meme culture. He’s not just for show either — XYZepe embodies the community spirit and competitive edge that XYZVerse is trying to bring to the crypto arena. 

The project has been audited by both Pessimistic and SolidProof, adding a layer of credibility that’s often missing from meme coin launches.

Unlike most viral tokens that hit the market in a frenzy, XYZVerse is still in its presale phase, building momentum for a strong launch on DEXes and CEXes. The stage 12 out of 15 is now underway, and the XYZ token already rose from $0.0001 to $0.003333. The anticipated listing price is $0.1 which would mark a total surge of 99,900% from the starting presale price if this target is achieved. 

  • Blockchain: Polygon
  • Current price: $0.003333
  • Market Cap: $13 million
  • Planned listing price: $0.1
  • Price Change from All-time Low: 10,948%

Final Thoughts: Absurdity Pays — If You Know When to Laugh (and When to Sell)

In the upside-down world of meme coins, logic often takes a backseat to virality. Whether it’s a fart-powered token, a typo-laden presidential parody, or a frog in a digital tuxedo claiming to outsmart Wall Street, the one thing these coins have in common is their sheer audacity.

And strangely, that’s exactly why they work. These projects are about FOMO, community hype, and meme magic. Sometimes, the joke is the value.

Still, for every moonshot, there’s a dozen crash landings. So if you’re brave enough to dive into this carnival of crypto absurdity, remember: it’s all fun and games until someone yolo’s their life savings into a poo coin.

Meme responsibly.
