Dogecoin and PEPE led a sharp meme coin bounce on Friday, with traders leaning into “meme season” talk as 2026 gets underway.
Dogecoin was up about 11% over 24 hours, while PEPE rose roughly 17% on the day after a stronger intraday push.
Crypto’s meme basket has also been heating up more broadly. The meme index category showed a market value of roughly $33.8 billion with about $5.9 billion in 24 hour trading volume, a sign that the move is not just a single token story.
Meanwhile, the “dog themed” basket flashing green across the board. Following Dogecoin, Shiba Inu was up 8% and Solana’s Bonk added nearly 11%, while Floki climbed close to 10%.
The move was not limited to the majors and smaller caps moved faster, with Mog Coin up about 14% on the day and roughly 37% over seven days, while Popcat gained nearly 9% and is up more than 17% on the week.
