Meme Coin Market Tops $81B; SNORT Presale, Volatility

Meme coins are surging as an “Uptober” rally pushed the combined memecoin market above about $81 billion and lifted top tokens like DOGE, SHIB and PEPE. PEPE jumped more than 6% with trading volume nearly tripling and futures open interest rising, signaling renewed momentum. New projects and tooling are drawing fresh capital: Solana-based Snorter Bot Token (SNORT) has raised over $4.2 million and is currently in a limited presale. Niche tokens tied to specific chains — TROLL on Solana (≈$145M market cap) and TOSHI on Base (≈$337M) — show rising holder counts, whale accumulation, potential exchange listings and growing social buzz. On Plasma’s new mainnet beta, a community “Trillions” meme spawned a Trillions token that surged to roughly $60M market cap before plunging to about $18M, and the Plasma team said it does not endorse such tokens.
