Meme-coin traders spent the weekend on X replaying old calls on PEPE, Official Trump and PNUT, using triple-digit and four-digit return claims to draw fresh attention back to the sector. (x.com) The posts lean on eye-catching scorecards rather than new launches: PEPE is framed as a huge winner from its 2023 entry, while Official Trump and Peanut the Squirrel are held up as later examples from 2024 and 2025. Official Trump launched on January 17, 2025, three days before Donald Trump’s inauguration. (x.com) (wikipedia.org) Live market data shows why those names still travel on social media. As of April 19, 2026, CoinGecko listed PEPE at about $1.60 billion in market value, while CoinMarketCap listed Official Trump at about $662 million and CoinGecko listed PNUT near $56 million. (coingecko.com) (coinmarketcap.com) (coingecko.com) A meme coin is a token whose price is driven more by attention than by a business, cash flow or protocol revenue. CoinGecko’s meme-token tracker put the whole category at about $37.6 billion on April 19, 2026, with roughly $4.15 billion in 24-hour trading volume. (coingecko.com) That backdrop helps explain why old screenshots and “called it” threads keep resurfacing. In a market where PEPE still ranks among the larger meme tokens and Official Trump remains a top-100 crypto asset by market cap, traders can use past wins as proof of status and as bait for the next round of speculation. (coingecko.com) (coinmarketcap.com) The numbers in those victory laps also hide how far prices have fallen from their peaks. CoinMarketCap lists Official Trump’s all-time high at $75.35 on January 19, 2025, versus about $2.84 now, and Coinbase lists PNUT’s all-time high at $2.44 on November 13, 2024, versus a recent price near $0.04. (coinmarketcap.com) (coinbase.com) PEPE shows the same split between legend and current trading. CoinMarketCap lists its all-time high at $0.00002825 on December 9, 2024, while CoinGecko showed it around $0.0000038 on April 19, 2026, still enough for promoters to point to early-entry gains. (coinmarketcap.com) (coingecko.com) The weekend thread did not need a new token or a new catalyst to spread. It worked by turning old meme-coin charts into a fresh advertisement for risk, and the market still has enough size and liquidity for that pitch to keep finding an audience. (x.com) (coingecko.com)
