Launch Window: May 2025
Ticker: TBA
Mission: Flip the $25 billion vegan industry
As liquidity cliffs, vaporware, and overhyped ghost chains continue plaguing the altcoin space, it’s safe to say that not much has changed since the crypto boom of 2021. However, in the four years that’ve followed, the humblest, most ridiculed corner of crypto has continued to log the most life-changing returns.
Of course, we’re talking about memecoins.
The Billion Dollar Lesson From 2021-2025: Utility doesn’t sell, nor have value, unless ‘belonging’ is somewhat involved.
What good is a DeFi token if no one uses that blockchain? There’s nothing to belong to…
What good is a GameFi token if no one is playing that game? There’s nothing to belong to…
What good is an AI token if no one believes in its mission? There’s nothing to belong to…
Image of crypto market performance throughout 2024. As shown, both old and new memecoins outperform the rest of the market despite offering zero tangible utilities. This is due to the intrinsic ‘belonging’ proposition of each – a demand-driver that empty altcoin projects simply can’t match.
As you will learn in this article, memecoins have and always will be crypto’s biggest proponent of belonging. Whilst Bitcoin ($BTC) has had a revolutionary impact on those who pledged to ‘belong’ 5-10 years ago, tokens of the meme variety prevail as the year-on-year deliverer of monumental gains. Be it Dogecoin ($DOGE), Shiba Inu ($SHIB), Pepe the Frog ($PEPE), Bonk ($BONK), or the several other multi-billion dollar projects, they have completely re-written the script regarding how and when utility, belonging, and most importantly, big bucks can be made.
This article comes as 2025 shapes up for yet another memecoin bull run (and perhaps a double-header of that). As such, it explores a new pump-ready project that’s waiting to take global resonation – and therefore ‘belonging’- to another level. We’re talking about Waygu, an experience-backed memecoin that’s been hard to ignore given its huge and ever-growing pre-launch momentum.
With billions of global meat eaters in alliance, as well as 200+ organically-involved key opinion leaders (KOLs), the TBA Waygu launch in May 2025 is something that all fortune-chasing meme lovers should look out for.
Here’s why…
Waygu: The Meme With a $25 Billion Bite Back
With sizzling steaks and raging bulls plastered across all its socials, Waygu represents the first tokenized attack against a cultural and moral trend that’s taken over supermarkets, kitchens, and communal feeds over the past decade. Of course, we’re talking about the polarising topic of veganism, and how Waygu is leveraging its conscientiousness to create a whole new level of blockchain-based tribalism.
The Waygu Mission – Putting Money Where Your Mouth Is
Be it silently or overtly, it’s safe to say that the billions of right-leaning crypto enthusiasts despise mushy tofu bowls, $17 kale smoothies, and perhaps worst, vegan folk that shame those who opt for a juicy cheeseburger instead.
With Waygu, bullishness for the original source of protein, animals now have a Solana-based token for meat eaters to put their money where their mouth is. Paired with a tangible mission to defeat veganism by flipping its $25 billion industry valuation, the project also taps into proven behavioural dynamics that maximise staying power across multiple crypto cycles.
NOTE: Project ticker and launch date are still TBA at the time of writing.
Straight Out the Billion-Dollar Playbook: 3 Traits of Genius Memetic Movements
- Identity-Driven Rhetoric: Eating habits cut straight to identity; mocking ‘grass munchers’ sparks instant camaraderie among holders. This sense of identity and belonging are major forces within all life-changing meme movements.
- An Endless Conflict – Veganism will always exist, guaranteeing a permanent marketing runway and reason for project adoption.
- Measurable Target: The all-encompassing Waygu mission is to flip the $25 billion vegan market. As showcased by the $1.4+ billion rise of SPX6900 ($SPX) – which seeks to flip the S&P 500 valuation because 6900 is bigger than 500 – having a tangible, resonating, and playful target does wonders for maximising sustained demand and minimising sell pressure. With a monetary target at the centre of its mission, Waygu holders will always be looking up as they strive to flip the vegan market as part of a revolutionary tokenized movement. Therefore, the incentive to buy under this $25 billion will always be present, whilst pressure to sell will be appeased through its preemptiveness.
Firing-Up the Grill Before TGE – Waygu’s Pre-Launch Referral Scheme
6,0000+ pre-launch members didn’t just come out of thin air…word of mouth and instant resonation have been doing the talking thus far, and there’s more than enough time to get in on the early action:

- Get friends to follow the five official Waygu socials.
- 5 referrals → Gold Tier (first dibs on the CA).

Making Money, Having Fun, & Belonging: What Memecoins Are All About
Whilst BTC’s 43,500%+ growth over the past decade is proving its worth as an A-grade digital store of value, the playbook behind ambitious tech-fuelled altcoins like Ethereum ($ETH) is a lot harder to pinpoint… hence the relatively stagnancy over the past decade or so.
When it comes to memecoins, the multi-billion dollar rise of DOGE, SHIB, and PEPE illustrate a clear trifecta for success. Albeit broad in how it can be achieved, this recipe boils down to making money, having fun, and experiencing a sense of belonging.
Projects such as dogwifhat ($WIF) and SPX since came along in 2024, showcasing that if executed with high-level expertise (and a bit of pzazz), new multi-cycle, multi-billion dollar meme movements are ready to be cultivated. This is a school of thought that’s spread across thousands of 7-figure crypto portfolios, with expert memecoin analyst Murad Mahmudov being its most famous proponent.
- Making Money – This is the main priority for 99% of crypto investors, hence why crypto enthusiasts – often childless young people with reasonable amounts of disposable income – are becoming increasingly interested in life-changing memecoin returns, as opposed to the utilities of vaporware altcoins. Why so? Because with landlord-locked cities and inflation rates that far exceed wage growth, the modern economy is making it more and more difficult to achieve upward social mobility. Memecoins, on the other hand, have an abundance of inspiring rags-to-riches testimonials, making them an intuitive investment pathway for those with spare cash.
- Having Fun – Memecoins are unique in being based on fun concepts and nothing more. Be it an animal (DOGE), character (PEPE), or socioeconomic movement (SPX and Waygu), resonance and fascination always come before actual investments.
- Belonging – Often taking place on platforms such as X and Telegram, memecoins are the most proficient in curating online communities that are worth belonging to. This search for a sense of belonging stems from society-wide increases in chronic ‘onlineness,’ loneliness, and sexlessness.
| Layer | How Waygu Delivers |
| Making money | Locked liquidity, seeded by devs, LP tokens burnt forever
No presale (completely fair launch) Sniper‑proof protocols implemented for launch 200+ KOLs pre-launch Prime-time sport sponsorships Experienced devs with proven crypto marketing prowess Multi-billion global investor base Timeless relevance = timeless demand |
| Having fun | Endless scope for steak puns, vegan roasts, and whatever else the devs and community conjure-up.
With the project already acquiring its first partnered athlete in new WBC International Silver Super-Welterweight Champion Sam Eggington, Waygu’s heights in terms of marketing reach come launch are hard to predict… let alone by the end of 2025 when more crypto pumps are behind us. |
| Belonging | Owning Waygu is like signaling a tokenized and monetizable stance on a cultural debate. Just in time for Trump’s second four year stint in office, it signals the fight to “Make Steaks Great Again” – whilst getting rich in the process. |
We’re proud to announce our first WAYGU CASH athlete, @eggington_sam, the new WBC International Silver Super-Welterweight Champion.
This movement is for winners only. Built on conviction.

Combating Crypto’s Perennial Failure – Centralised Hierarchies of Intermediaries
The beauty of crypto lies in its decentralisation. In its purest form, two parties should only ever be involved: devs and retail investors. This is a reality that the Waygu launch is evidently bullish on, hence our interest in covering the project.
However, as showcased in abundance by the altcoin sector, many projects are tied to product-first software/platforms that are yet to deliver any real utilities to consumers (i.e. vaporware). Clouded in unpolished beta roll-outs and unfulfilled roadmaps, these projects rely on prolonged speculation in order to create demand and holders.
Contrary to Waygu and other multi-billion dollar memecoins, centralised hierarchies of intermediaries wiggle their way in here – wherein heavily-discounted private presale rounds allow whales,VCs, market makers, and crypto exchanges etc. to invest at cheaper prices than the public.
With zero utility at the helm, paired with an inflated token price at launch, the next step is allowing retail investors to believe that they’re investing at a fair price.
The result? With no store of value (due to no utility), nor a community of diamond-handed holders (as only memecoins can generate positive sentiment without any ‘’utility’), retailers get wrecked as mere exit liquidity for early private investors. This sell pressure then kills all positive community sentiment (and therefore the project entirely).
As previously discussed, investment decisions largely boil down to ‘making money’… so what’s a project that only has early in-the-know investors in profit? Dead is the answer, as many charts demonstrate.
Per our bullishness for the project, Waygu devs have confirmed that the token launch will be completely fair, with its 200+ KOL roster being the product of its organic globe-trotting pre-launch momentum.
Waygu Predictions
Murad’s Triple‑Pump Roadmap – Where Waygu’s $25 Billion Mission Slots In
Three market pumps are predicted for 2024-2025; one of which correctly took place through Q4 2024- Q1 2025. Therefore, two more pumps are said to be in store this year, both of which of much higher magnitude.
Per expert analysis that goes beyond memecoins and into the realm of decade-long crypto and macroeconomic analysis, here’s what’s expected for the remainder of 2025:
- Pump #2 (Q2/Q3 2025): Post‑halving euphoria and first glimpses of a Trump-led market recovery.
- Pump #3 (Q4 2025): Late‑cycle blow‑off, historically a time for memecoins to outperform the rest of the crypto sector.
When it comes to Waygu’s May 2025 launch, devs are seemingly taking a leaf out of the PEPE playbook by launching in a lull and riding the wave of the two market upticks that await.
Unparalleled Reach – Waygu’s Organic Influencer Infantry
Here’s three predictions regarding the value of Waygu’s 200+ influencer roster:
- Thousands of pre-launch eyeballs – We’ve not done the maths, however it’s reasonable to assume that hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of crypto fanatics will be aware of Waygu before a single token is generated. Therefore, expect the project’s 6000+ pre-launch members to skyrocket before the time of launch.
- Authenticity loops and mass hodling – KOLs bought their own bags, meaning dumping would trash their reputations. Therefore, mass hodling and promotion is expected to continue way beyond launch. As such, getting-in first via the Waygu referral scheme is where the largest returns will be made.
- Distributed marketing budget – Each influencer brings their own personal capital and audience reach. Without this, Waygu’s real and potential capital inflows would mimic that of 99% of other memecoins. Instead, with a distributed and organic marketing spread behind it, Waygu launches as a pump-friendly outlier that offers 2025’s most bullish opportunity for instant gains.
- Feedback flywheel – Memes → Engagement → Price Pumps → Bigger Audiences → More Memes… sometimes it’s that simple, especially with a globally resonating narrative driving discussion.
Waygu Predictions: From Sizzle to 1000x Steak
- Instant profit pools – Deep liquidity + KOL marketing/investing/hodling + fair launch = green‑candle galore in block one and beyond.
- Organic KOL surge – Influencers brag harder when money is self‑staked. Expect more crypto communities to join as FOMO kicks in.
- Organic mainstream food fight – Vegan vs carnivore headlines = free PR.
Final Call to the Meat Eater Table
- Earn early contract address access by collecting your referral link at waygu.cash and referring friends.
- Join all X of Waygu’s social channels in order to receive full referral scheme eligibility. Telegram is the place for rubbing shoulders with thousands of other knife-sharpening carnivores, whilst X is your hub for timer drops, meme drops, and other updates.
- Mark early May in your calendars – exact date TBA.
