Top 3 New Solana Tokens to Watch For the Third Week of May 2025

Solana tokens like HOTMOM, DOOD, and IKUN are gaining serious traction as some of the most active and talked-about new launches on the network. HOTMOM is leading the meme coin charge with a $54 million market cap and strong backing from public figures.

DOOD, the official token of the Doodles NFT collection, has quickly attracted nearly 160,000 holders, riding the wave of NFT projects launching native tokens. Meanwhile, IKUN is drawing massive transaction volume and continued whale accumulation, signaling strong momentum despite shifts in smart money behavior.

Hot Mom (HOTMOM)

HOTMOM has quickly become one of the most talked-about Pump tokens, gaining major traction just three days after launch.

With over 6,500 holders and a market cap of $54 million, it’s showing signs of strong early adoption in the meme coin space. If good momentum continues, HOTMOM could rise to test the $100 million market cap.

According to Nansen, HOTMOM is held by some well-known figures like threadguy, Crypto Ninja, and gake—a Solana smart trader with an on-chain net worth of $1.73 million.

Doodles (DOOD)

Doodles, once one of the most hyped NFT collections, just launched its official token a few hours ago—and it’s attracting attention.

The token has attracted nearly 160,000 holders in just three days and reached a market cap of approximately $53 million, showing strong initial demand across the crypto and NFT communities.

The launch follows a growing trend of major NFT projects rolling out their tokens, similar to what Pudgy Penguins did with PENGU a few months ago and Bored Ape did with APE a few years ago.

Between May 9 and May 12, whale holdings of DOOD jumped dramatically from 69,202 to 250 million, signaling significant early accumulation.

In the last 24 hours, the token recorded 5,509 transactions and $734,000 in trading volume.

Ikun (IKUN)

IKUN has emerged as one of the more active tokens on Solana, with nearly 6,000 holders and a market cap exceeding $12 million.

In the last 24 hours alone, it saw an impressive 112,265 transactions and $37 million in trading volume.

Smart money holdings in IKUN have dipped slightly in recent hours. Public wallets still hold around $320,000 worth of the token. Meanwhile, whales continue to accumulate.

According to Nansen, Unipcs is the largest whale, holding 12.45 million IKUN worth roughly $150,000. Despite shifting dynamics among retail and smart wallets, this ongoing whale activity shows confidence in IKUN’s short-term potential.
