Ethereum News Today: Ethereum surges 50% in July as MoonBull, Popcat, and Neiro gain meme coin momentum

The crypto market is showing renewed bullish momentum as Ethereum (ETH) surged 50% in July—the largest gain since 2021—sparking renewed interest in digital assets and meme coins [1]. Among the tokens drawing attention are MoonBull, Popcat, and Neiro, with MoonBull emerging as a standout project due to its exclusive whitelist access and Ethereum-based infrastructure.

MoonBull ($MOBU) has quickly become one of the most talked-about tokens in 2025, with its whitelist offering early adopters a range of benefits, including lower token prices, early staking rewards, and exclusive airdrops. The project is built on Ethereum, leveraging its robust smart contract capabilities while tapping into the virality of meme culture. The whitelist is operating on a first-come, first-served basis, and demand is high, with many positions already claimed [1].

Popcat, a Solana-based meme coin, has demonstrated resilience despite a 12.6% weekly decline. It remains 8009% above its all-time low, trading at $0.3085 with a 24-hour volume of $50.8 million. The coin’s market cap of $302 million and its strong trading volume suggest continued retail and institutional interest. Although it is currently 85% below its peak of $2.05, the liquidity indicates potential for a rebound if the broader bull market continues [1].

Meanwhile, Neiro, positioned as the first Neiro on Ethereum, has shown impressive recovery from its lowest point—up over 16,000%. With a current price of $0.000398 and a 24-hour trading volume of $60 million, the token is gaining traction in a bearish market. Neiro’s market cap of $165.9 million and its close alignment with Ethereum position it to benefit from ETH’s recent momentum, especially as Ethereum-based assets gain more traction [1].

The broader Ethereum-based rally suggests that projects closely tied to the network may see further upside. While MoonBull is generating the most buzz with its exclusive whitelist and strategic positioning, both Popcat and Neiro remain viable options for traders seeking exposure to the meme coin space.

MoonBull’s unique offering includes not only staking rewards but also a limited whitelist that grants early access to the project’s roadmap and other proprietary benefits. The emphasis on exclusivity and early participation taps into the psychological drivers of crypto investing, particularly the fear of missing out (FOMO), which has historically driven significant price movements in the sector [1].

Analysts and investors are closely watching the developments in Ethereum and meme coin markets, with many viewing MoonBull as a potential breakout candidate in 2025. The project’s Ethereum foundation, combined with its meme-based appeal and strong community engagement, places it in a unique position to capitalize on the next wave of interest.
