Memecoins & Utility Tokens Are Crushing It: Social Metrics Show Who’s Really Winning Crypto’s Attention War

Crypto’s circus is back in town—and this time, the clowns are making bank.

The Meme Machine Prints Money (Again)

Dog-themed joke coins and speculative vaporware are dominating social chatter, proving once again that crypto’s heart beats for absurdity. No roadmaps? No problem. Just slap a dog on it and watch the retweets roll in.

Utility Tokens Fight Back (With Actual Use Cases!)

Meanwhile, boring old ''useful'' projects are clawing for attention—deploying real products, real users, and real metrics. How quaint. Turns out, building infrastructure for the decentralized future isn’t as sexy as a Shiba Inu with laser eyes.

The Punchline?

While TradFi analysts hyperventilate over ''adoption curves,'' crypto’s real growth metric remains unchanged: the louder the hype, the faster the bags get pumped. Some things never change—even in 2025.

• PEPE was the top alt on LunarCrush AltRank due to its price and social performance.
• HYPE and KAITO were close behind as memecoins and AI tokens took off.
• ICP, TIA, and AERO also made it to the top 10, and utility and modular blockchain projects appear to be gaining interest.

PEPE has claimed the first position in the recently released LunarCrush Altrank rankings of June 14, 2025. The meme coin pushed other high-interest tokens such as HYPE and KAITO, signaling a shift in market momentum based on internet activity and altcoin prices. The ranking, compiled by LunarCrush, reflects a combination of price action relative to Bitcoin and aggregated social sentiment data across the digital asset space.

Meme Coins and Community Tokens Dominate the Leaderboard

The return of PEPE to the top of the chart demonstrates the strength of community-driven tokens. Its command of mentions, engagements, and meme culture has placed it over more conventional digital assets. HYPE was a close second, as the token maintains its bullish trend off the back of recent gains and exchange listings.

KAITO took the third place, propelled by recent advancements in AI-enhanced blockchain services and an expanding developer community. These three coins are an example of how retail sentiment and online activity are starting to become as important as simply market cap or utility story.

Blockchain staples such as Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC), and Internet Computer (ICP) also took leading positions, indicative of a mix between social-oriented and infrastructure-intensive assets. ICP came in at number five, buoyed by its development on Web3 and the continued developer activity. In the meantime, LTC was ranked sixth, as its on-chain activity increased, and it was integrated with payment platforms.

Infrastructure and Utility Tokens Hold Ground

In addition to the meme-driven boom, utility-oriented tokens were holding up well. In fourth place was bitcoin Cash, which was supported by growing peer-to-peer usage in emerging economies and increased use by payment providers. TIA (Celestia) was next at seventh, indicating the increasing interest in modular blockchain architectures.

AERO and BMT also made it to the top ten, indicating an increase in the interest in DePIN (decentralized physical infrastructure) and community ecosystems. Recent network upgrades put AERO in the limelight, whereas the standing of BMT invites growing curiosity about its future governance release.

Rounding out the list is Ravencoin (RVN). As an asset tokenization platform, RVN has been riding the wave of attention around real-world asset (RWA) projects as institutions consider how to tokenize securities within compliant frameworks.
