Top 2 Memecoins Surging Right Now After ASTEROID’s Historic 68,000% Weekly Rally

ASTEROID’s extraordinary run changed the conversation. A token that sat at a $50,000 market cap before Elon Musk replied to a girl’s SpaceX mascot request briefly touched a $20 million market cap within hours and posted a 68,428% weekly gain according to CoinGecko data before pulling back roughly 40%.

The question traders are now asking is if ASTEROID can do that, what moves next? Two tokens are being mentioned with increasing frequency in memecoin communities: Amaterasu Omikami (OMIKAMI) and RyuJin (RYU).

The Case for OMIKAMI and RyuJin

One expert who has covered OMIKAMI over three years pointed to the ASTEROID move as evidence that the memecoin supercycle has further to run. His conviction is rooted in the longevity of both projects rather than short-term momentum.

Both tokens have been active for nearly two years with what the analyst describes as organic community growth rather than manufactured hype. The ecosystem is allegedly connected to Ryoshi, the pseudonymous figure behind Shiba Inu, though that attribution remains unverified and disputed within parts of the community.

OMIKAMI currently trades at approximately $0.007112 with a market cap of $6.73 million. RyuJin sits at $0.000000002961 with a $2.85 million market cap. Both the tokens are up by more than 13%.

The ASTEROID Parallel

The analyst drew a direct comparison between OMIKAMI’s current position and where ASTEROID sat before its viral moment. Both had a story. Both had a community. ASTEROID had a single external catalyst that lit the fuse.

The structural difference is the nature of that catalyst. ASTEROID moved because of a verifiable two-word reply from one of the world’s most followed public figures. OMIKAMI’s anticipated catalyst is expected to come from within the ecosystem itself, potentially a new communication from Ryoshi or a product announcement tied to a planned blockchain and debit card infrastructure the project has been developing.

The Broader Macro Setup

The analyst also said that the broader market context is constructive for memecoin activity. Bitcoin is retesting a breakout level on the four-hour chart and Ethereum is approaching key resistance. Both are approaching moves that have historically preceded altcoin and memecoin cycles.

The CLARITY Act, a potential new Fed chair and stablecoin yield legislation are all cited as macro catalysts that could inject significant fresh liquidity into crypto broadly.
