Meme Cats & Underdogs Outpace Stalled Crypto Giants in 2025 Rally
While blue-chip cryptos flatline, the degenerates are winning again.
### Dogcoins and Dark Horses Steal the Show
Forget BTC's sideways grind—today's action is all about meme-fueled altcoins mooning while 'serious' projects gather dust. Fluffy cat tokens and forgotten mid-caps are posting double-digit gains as institutional darlings bleed out.
### The Irony of 'Fundamentals'
Turns out 'utility' means jack when traders want dopamine hits. The same VCs who mocked dog-themed tokens last cycle are now quietly repositioning into frog memes—because nothing screams 'hedge fund sophistication' like betting on cartoon amphibians.
This isn't a correction—it's a clown market. And the circus is just getting started.
Hosico Cat
Hosico Cat has surged 43.7% in the last 24 hours, trading at $0.02769 from a low of $0.01889. The meme coin has shown a strong surge over a longer timeframe, climbing close to 82% in the last 30 days.
The price surge appears connected to a major promotional campaign the project is running. HOSICO is hosting what they claim to be the largest Solana (SOL) giveaway, worth $2.2 million.
27% of the way to Goal #1
The $HOSICO community deserves the $1.1M 👀✨ https://t.co/RLYDJNoLNR
According to the latest update, the project has reached 27% of that goal, suggesting growing participation and community engagement around the initiative.
Large-scale giveaways like this often drive short-term price action as they increase visibility and bring in new holders looking to participate in the rewards distribution.
Hosico Cat, the inspiration behind the meme coin, is a well-known Scottish Straight cat famous for his golden fur and expressive face reminiscent of the character Puss in Boots.
Everscale
Everscale has climbed 42.6% over the past 24 hours, reaching $0.01397 from $0.009822. Unlike many tokens experiencing sudden pumps, Everscale’s price movement coincides with concrete developments.
The project recently held the Everpoint 2025 conference in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, which showcased major technological advancements, governance reforms, and expanding business partnerships within the Everscale ecosystem. Such conferences often serve as catalysts for price appreciation.

Shentu
Third on the top gainers list in the last 24 hours is Shentu, which has gained 42.4% in the last 24 hours, trading at $0.3765 from $0.2681. CTK has also gained 67% over the past week.
While no specific announcements have surfaced, the rally may reflect speculative flows or renewed social media interest.
The current rally in these altcoins comes at a time when major cryptocurrencies show minimal movement. XRP (XRP) has lost the $2.2 support level after a modest recent surge, while both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have remained relatively flat over the past 24 hours.
