POPCAT, ZBCN, and AVA top LunarCrush’s Altrank list due to strong price action and social engagement. PENGU, HAEDAL, and PNUT are just a few of the meme coins and utility tokens on the rise. Rising interest in gaming, content, and metaverse platforms has driven VRA, VOXEL, and BMT. LunarCrush’s latest Altrank update for May 3, 2025, highlights a sharp rise in lesser-known and meme-based tokens. The list is dominated by POPCAT, ZBCN, and AVA in the top three positions, thanks to intense social engagement and relative price strength in relation to Bitcoin. Altrank offers a unique combination of market performance and community activity to provide a view of where the coins are going and the current market sentiment. The presence of POPCAT, a meme coin fueled by viral cat videos, reflects the increasing power of social narratives in crypto markets. Similarly, ZBCN, which has strong ties with privacy tech and AVA, a platform token for travel services, follows closely as investor interest in utility-backed assets is indicated. Coins such as AERGO, PENGU, HAEDAL, and PNUT fall into the middle of the pack as they gain traction with community marketing and innovative use cases. For instance, PENGU has been noticed for its branding and playful tone, while HAEDAL has been noticed partly for having a character-based identity model coupled with NFT integration. The top ten is PNUT, which is gaining DeFi exposure across Asian markets. While these tokens may not have a market cap of major coins, they consistently outperform engagement metrics, which LunarCrush’s algorithm values heavily. They have also gained wider recognition due to their recent inclusion in various exchanges and partnerships. In the gaming and content industries, the last three, BMT, VRA, and VOXEL, keep going strong. Virtual Reward Arcade is one of the top social metric rankings that has consistently been for VRA, and VOXEL is targeting metaverse applications. This presence of BMTs illustrates this new interest in blockchain media and tokenized entertainment ecosystems. The composition of this list shows that the market is leaning towards tokens with recognizable brands, niche ecosystems, and online community traction. Memecoins and AI Tokens Dominate 2025 Q1 According to a new Coingecko report, narratives in digital assets during the first quarter of 2025 were headed by memecoins and artificial intelligence-themed tokens. The “2025 Q1 Crypto Industry Report” reveals that AI and meme coin tokens held 62.8 percent of investor attention. Meme assets led with 27.1% of total intake, while AI tokens maintained a strong run from the end of 2024 with 35.7%. With all the attention, memecoins were the worst performing category in Q1. Events like the collapse of Libra, a memecoin backed by the president of Argentina, helped deepen the losses across the board, but the top five by market cap all posted double-digit losses. An insider trading scandal caused the token to plummet 94%, feeding into the wider meme pullback.
