Meme coins are no longer treated only as internet jokes. In recent years, some have attracted significant trading interest, but they remain highly volatile and can carry substantial downside risk. Tokens such as Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Bonk (BONK) are often cited as examples of meme coins that experienced large price swings during their peak attention cycles.
In 2025, the meme-coin market is more crowded, and outcomes can vary widely across projects. One newer name that has drawn attention is Layer Brett, which is conducting a token sale, according to its website.
Bonk coin (BONK): Background and recent market context
Bonk coin launched on Solana in late 2022 and marketed itself as a community-focused token, including distribution initiatives aimed at early adopters. The Bonk price moved sharply in its early trading, and the token became widely discussed within the Solana ecosystem. It remains among the more actively traded meme coins on Solana.
- Price: $0.000024
- Market cap: $1.84 billion
- Daily volume: $280 million
Some traders monitor technical levels such as support and resistance (for example, around $0.000023 and $0.000026). These levels are not guarantees of future performance, and short-term moves can be influenced by broader market conditions and liquidity.
Shiba Inu (SHIB): Ecosystem efforts and constraints
Shiba Inu has expanded beyond its meme origins through products and community activity, including ShibaSwap and token-burn mechanisms discussed by the community. Supporters have described these efforts as attempts to add utility, though market interest and token economics can still drive significant volatility.
- Price: $0.00001236
- Market cap: $7.27 billion
- Daily volume: $140 million
A large token supply can affect how quickly prices move, and burn activity does not ensure price appreciation. As with other meme coins, liquidity, market sentiment, and broader crypto conditions remain key drivers.
Layer Brett (LBRETT): What the project says it is building
Layer Brett is described in its project materials as a meme-branded initiative that also aims to develop infrastructure branded as a Layer 2 platform. The team states that a token sale is underway and that funds have been raised from participants; these figures have not been independently verified in this article.
According to the project, planned elements include:
- A staking program, with rewards that may vary and are described by the project (not independently verified)
- Claims of lower transaction costs, with references to Ethereum Layer 2 infrastructure
- Marketing incentives mentioned by the project, including a giveaway campaign
- A token-sale price listed by the project at $0.0047 at the time of writing
Compared with established meme coins, newer projects may have less trading history, fewer independent data sources, and higher uncertainty around delivery and adoption.
Project-reported token sale figures
Layer Brett has shared token-sale figures in its public materials. Readers should treat these as project-reported and subject to change.
- $1 million already raised (project-reported)
- One billion tokens sold (project-reported)
- Current price: $0.0047 (project-reported)
- Next price: $0.005 (project-reported)
The project has also claimed rapid demand during the current sale stage. Such statements are not a reliable indicator of future liquidity, exchange listings, or price performance.
Conclusion
Bonk and Shiba Inu are widely known meme coins with established market histories, while Layer Brett is a newer project that describes itself as combining meme branding with Layer 2-related development. As with any token sale or early-stage crypto project, participants face material risks, including limited track record, smart-contract risk, and uncertain demand once trading begins.
