It appears that Coinbase is now joining Binance in its meme coin launching spree.
The top US-based crypto exchange has traditionally had an extremely selective process when it comes to listing new cryptocurrencies, especially meme coins.
However, it has joined the meme coin supercycle, listing two projects - Pepe and Dogwifhat - in a span of a few hours. Smart money investors are now speculating which trending meme coins could be the next Coinbase listings.

5 Next Coinbase Meme Coin Listings
As previously stated, Coinbase has been picky with its crypto listing process. For instance, it listed Pepe (PEPE) on Wednesday, after it already had a market capitalization of over $5 billion.
This is largely due to Coinbase's status as a US-based crypto exchange with a significant American customer base. Up until now, it has navigated the challenges posed by an anti-crypto Biden administration and adhered to the regulatory pressures of the SEC, led by Chair Gary Gensler. It also held back from a Pepe listing due to the political undertones of the meme, calling Pepe the Frog a ‘hate symbol’ in May 2023.
18 months on, the landscape has shifted dramatically with Donald Trump’s landmark victory. The United States now boasts a pro-crypto president, a supportive Congress, and cabinet members who are favourable toward the crypto industry. Dogecoin and meme coin proponent Elon Musk is also said to be advising Trump closely.
As a result, Coinbase is likely to expedite the listing of more meme coins on its platform, if they’re trending among traders and in high demand.
In this article, we list 5 meme coins that could be the next Coinbase listings.
Peanut The Squirrel (PNUT)
A Peanut The Squirrel Coinbase listing could be coming down the pipeline.
The PNUT coin is the latest meme coin sensation, which reached a market capitalization of $2.4 billion within 2 weeks.
The project is inspired by the Instagram-famous pet squirrel, Peanut, which was euthanized by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation. Over the past two weeks, the NYDEC has drawn the ire of Vice President-elect JD Vance, Republican congresspeople and reportedly, Donald Trump himself.
In particular, the world’s richest man Elon Musk continues to post about the government overreach on X which led to Peanut’s demise.

Unsurprisingly, experts believe that this trending meme coin could be the next Dogecoin, with Elon’s backing. With such enormous community support as well, a Coinbase listing is no longer a matter of if, but when.
Goatseus Maximus (GOAT)
Goatseus Maximum is another meme coin that is an excellent candidate for a potential Coinbase listing.
Much like PNUT, the GOAT coin’s market capitalization reached $860 million within a span of two weeks.
Goatseus Maximum isn’t an ordinary meme coin. It is promoted by Truth Terminal, an AI chatbot, on its X account.
Most importantly, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has interacted with the AI chatbot’s X account, offering it its own wallet.

With Coinbase now actively listing new meme coins, Goatseus Maximus could be one of the first to receive the green light.
Popcat (POPCAT)
It is no surprise that Coinbase started its meme coin launching spree with the two biggest projects - Pepe and Dogwifhat. If the exchange is looking to prioritize trading fees, a large-cap meme coin makes complete sense.
It is therefore no surprise that Popcat is drawing Coinbase rumours, with its $1.7 billion market capitalization.
As such, prominent crypto influencers like Murad Mehmudov believe that the POPCAT price is on the cusp of a major upside move to $5.

It wouldn’t be a surprise if a Coinbase listing is the catalyst that kickstarts this mega-bull rally for the trending Solana meme coin.
Brett (BRETT)
Brett is the largest Base meme coin, with a market capitalization of $1.42 billion.
For the uninitiated, Base is an Ethereum Layer-2 chain, operated by Coinbase. Unsurprisingly, a Brett Coinbase listing could be imminent, considering that the exchange has already listed the second-largest coin on Base, Degen.
Moreover, Brett is already live on Binance Futures, proving its suitability for Tier-1 exchanges.
Furthermore, experts believe that Brett is an excellent beta bet on Ethereum, with many viewing it as a leveraged ETH. With the Ethereum price expected to reach $10,000 in this bull cycle, Brett could be an excellent investment for sidelined investors.
Pepe Unchained (PEPU)
Binance has finally recognized the importance of listing low-cap meme coins like NEIRO and Moo Deng. It shouldn’t be long before Coinbase joins the trend.
Pepe Unchained has already established itself as one of the hottest presale coins of 2024, with nearly $30 million raised in its ICO. The meme coin has recently announced that its presale is ending on December 4th, after which it will launch on Tier-1 exchanges.

The mention of “major exchanges” has resulted in intense speculation that a Binance or Coinbase listing could be imminent.
As such, Pepe Unchained isn’t an ordinary meme coin. It is rare for any meme token to have its own Layer-2 chain, meme coin launchpad, native staking protocol and cutting-edge analytics tools. Pepe Unchained is aiming to establish a new meme coin ecosystem, one rivalling Solana’s pump.fun.
Unsurprisingly, whales have been stacking PEPU, with one deep-pocketed investor purchasing $320k worth of the meme coin.
Moreover, prominent crypto influencers are bullish on its upside potential, with many calling it the next 100x meme coin. With such strong community backing, the possibility of a Coinbase listing cannot be ignored.
