Peanut the squirrel rose to prominence a few weeks ago after being cruelly suppressed as American law enforcement feared the potential for rabies. Peanut was used by a content creator in his video and had many fans. When he was suppressed, he went viral as the internet was outraged that he had been euthanized.
As readers know, the crypto market never misses an opportunity to take advantage of a viral event. Peanut the Squirrel ($PNUT) launched after all the online drama and has been on a steep upward curve ever since. Over the past 7 days, the meme coin has risen by over 1,500%, making early investors very happy. PNUT is not an isolated case as many meme coins are thriving.
We thought it was a good time to find potential in the pre-sale market and we did. Meme coin listings are impressive, but these new pre-sale projects could outperform even the big dogs when they launch. Here are the 5 tokens that stood out from the rest:
We will now review each project and tell you about what stood out to us.

Pepe Unchained – The first presale to exceed $36 million raised
We are witnessing history here, friends. Not only is Pepe Unchained ($PEPU) the best-selling meme coin presale of all time, it’s also the most successful full presale stop. As of Sunday, the meme raised more than $36 million. The amazing thing is that since they announced registration would begin in December last week, the presale almost raised an additional $10 million.
So why have whales constantly shelled out for $PEPU? The dream that this new Pepe coin is selling involves being a very popular chain in the future. That’s why they called their project Pepe Unchained. They want to liberate the Layer 1 meme and the negative factors associated with it. By building on layer 2, they opened themselves up to all sorts of possibilities.
Investors tend to prefer layer 2 because projects can offer staking (like Pepe Unchained does), cheaper gas fees, and faster transactions. The Pepe Frens With Benefits development grant is already very popular as creators want to build on this new channel. We wouldn’t be surprised to see some of the biggest coins of 2025 on Pepe Unchained.
Crypto All-Stars – The project that will unify even coins through staking
Another project that we are very excited about is called Crypto All-Stars ($STARS). This is an innovative project that aims to bring together the same parts under one roof. The sector is unique to crypto, but no project has thought of trying to unite meme coins. The Crypto All-Stars will be the first to do so and will use staking to achieve their goal.
Staking is interesting when looked at through the prism of the meme coin industry. Previously, it was very rare to find a meme coin project offering staking, and now it is the exact opposite. If you see a presale of meme coins, chances are if you buy these tokens you will also be able to stake them. Now, thanks to Meme Vault, you will be able to stake all kinds of meme coins with Crypto All-Stars.
If you hold tokens like $DOGE, $SHIB, $PEPE or many others, you will be able to stake them for rewards with Crypto All-Stars. Holding $STARS is very valuable because you get 3x more rewards when you stake other tokens. The pre-sale of this new meme coin is really starting to take off and has now surpassed $4.2 million raised.
