Crypto prices are down today, but experts believe this is the exact moment traders should buy. They’ve identified three promising meme coins that could be top performers as the crypto market recovers.
Before we get into that, let’s briefly examine what exactly is driving this optimistic sentiment among experts.
Juan Leon, senior investment strategist at Bitwise, told Cointelegraph that institutions (smart money) will strongly bid Bitcoin ETFs in Q2, independent of price moves.
He says this is because they understand that the crypto market is headed to new highs in the long term, thanks to the “Trump administration’s embrace of Bitcoin” and other bullish fundamentals.
While the average retail investor is fearful right now, smart money traders understand the opportunity at hand and are going on shopping sprees.
But for retail investors, experts believe that meme coins could be the smartest play to grow their portfolios.
Here are the three best meme coins to buy now, according to top crypto analysts:
MIND Of Pepe
MIND Of Pepe is building on Pepe coin’s success, using its viral starpower to boost visibility for an AI agent token.
The MIND Of Pepe AI agent will provide trading opportunities to its community.
It will scan blockchain and social media data to identify trends and then consolidate them into actionable insights that it shares with $MIND holders. It can also fill gaps in the market by launching its own tokens.
From the outside, it’s an addition to the Pepe bloodline. But scratch beneath the surface, and you see that this project is pushing forth with agentic AI innovation.
For that reason, analysts believe MIND of Pepe could have 10x potential. Jacob Bury recently appeared on the 99Bitcoins YouTube channel and told its 700K subscribers that $MIND is “the next Pepe.”
He pointed to its promising use case and also noted that investors can buy $MIND in its ongoing token presale. This means they can get in at a discounted pre-market price, which maximizes their earning potential.
Pepe
Yes, promising new iterations such as MIND Of Pepe are cropping up, but that doesn’t take away from the potential for the original Pepe coin – it adds to it, if anything.
Pepe kicked off the meme coin season in 2023 and continues to display huge community interest today. Community artists have gained thousands of followers on social media, and millions of people hold the token across centralized exchanges and crypto wallets.
It’s currently the third-largest meme coin and the largest to launch this cycle, providing a real opportunity for it to ride the rising tide as crypto prices rally this year.
Analyst MaxBecauseBTC believes that Pepe’s “biggest move” is still to come. He says that Pepe could hit a $50 billion market cap, equating to well-over a 10x gain from its current price.
I am very confident that the BIGGEST move for $PEPE is still brewing & is going to happen soon.
Many are confusing the March, May & December tops for #Pepe as individual moves when in reality my system is clear as day telling us that this is the worlds greatest re-accumulation.… pic.twitter.com/R66C7CngJS

It’s worth noting that if Pepe did hit $50 billion, it would open the door for lower market cap alternatives like MIND Of Pepe to generate far more than 10x gains.
Floki
It’s no secret that major meme coins have experienced strong selling in recent months. Floki, for instance, is down 85% from its June 2024 all-time high (ATH).
So if it reclaims its highs, investors will net almost a 10x gain. And with continuous ecosystem developments, such as its trading bot and its Play-to-Earn game, there’s every chance that Floki runs even higher in the months ahead.
Floki also has other utilities, such as a crypto locker and staking mechanism, providing multiple token demand streams. This separates it from many other meme coins and is the reason that analysts like BlockChainWorld think it could explode.
The analyst hails Floki as “the meme coin with unrivalled utility and a thriving ecosystem,” and suggests it could see big gains in the months ahead.
