Dogecoin and Shiba Inu have been sidelined lately as a surprising wave of old-and-forgotten meme coins roars back to life. Over the past week the meme-coin sector has seen dramatic rebounds — not from the usual names, but from two tokens that looked dead months ago and then exploded higher, doubling or more within days. PIPPIN: from dormancy to market leader PIPPIN first drew attention after its November 2024 launch, then faded through 2025 — until a stunning comeback in November 2025. On-chain sleuthing by analytics firm Bubblemaps points to a highly concentrated accumulation phase: between October 24 and November 23, 50 wallets funded from the HTX exchange received very similar amounts of Solana (SOL) and then used those funds to buy PIPPIN. Those wallets are reported to have purchased roughly $19 million worth of the token, giving them control of about half the circulating supply. That buildup preceded a blistering pump: PIPPIN surged roughly 1,000% in one week and has climbed over 2,000% since the move began, pushing its market capitalization above $400 million to new all-time highs. CoinMarketCap records a 146% gain in the last week alone, making PIPPIN the top-performing meme coin among the major tokens and putting it ahead of rivals like FARTCOIN and FLOKI. JELLYJELLY: another resurrection JELLYJELLY staged a similar comeback. Bubblemaps reported that seven wallets withdrew around 20% of the token’s supply from Gate and Bitget exchanges before accumulating large positions. That coordinated buying helped drive JELLYJELLY up more than 600% to an early-November all-time high just under $500 million market cap. The token later retraced below $100 million, but has bounced back this week — CoinMarketCap shows a 143% one-week gain that pushes its market cap back above $100 million. Among the top 30 meme coins, JELLYJELLY ranks as the second-best performer behind PIPPIN over the past week. What this means These rallies illustrate how concentrated on-chain accumulation by a few wallets can rapidly reshape meme-coin markets, producing explosive short-term gains and renewed attention for tokens once thought defunct. That dynamic can create fast profits — and equally fast reversals — so traders and observers should be mindful of the risks, volatility, and questions such patterns raise about market concentration and potential manipulation. Bottom line: the meme-coin landscape has shifted from the familiar names to a pair of dramatic comebacks, with PIPPIN and JELLYJELLY leading a broader, volatile revival.
