Cryptocurrency exchange MEXC has released a report on new listings for January and February 2025, revealing that almost 50% of all tokens listed were memecoins. Despite the market volatility, interest in tokens associated with popular personalities and social trends remains high.
The findings show that 7 out of the 10 most traded new tokens were launched in February. The average peak price increase increased from 388% in January to 660% in February, with coins like TST and ELONSOL showing price growth of 4,792% and 1,128%, respectively.
Tokens associated with famous personalities were among the most profitable, with TST, ELONSOL, MELANIA, and CAR showing the biggest gains. At the same time, the TRUMP token accounted for 45% of the total trading volume among new assets, attracting significant liquidity.
“The findings reflect the growing investor appetite for community-driven assets,” MEXC said in its report.
Overall, the exchange recorded 451 new tokens in two months, of which 245 were memecoins. These numbers confirm that traders are still willing to invest in assets based on popular trends and public attention.
In parallel with MEXC’s data, the TRON ecosystem is seeing a resurgence of memecoin activity, especially on the SunPump platform. Since August 2024, more than 95,000 tokens have been created on the TRON network, with the total number of transactions exceeding 2.84 million. This surge in activity signals a new wave of interest in meme assets built on TRON.
The TRON ecosystem currently has a market cap of $22.05 billion, with a daily trading volume of $715.13 million. Despite the overall decline, key TRON tokens continue to show varied price movements, reflecting the continued investor interest in memecoins.
