In the fast-paced world of meme tokens, fresh wallet activity often signals rising interest from new buyers – think of it as retail investors jumping in with their first purchases, driving up demand. According to a recent post from blockchain analytics firm Nansen on X, several meme coins on Solana and Base are seeing huge inflows from these fresh wallets this week. Leading the pack is $USELESS on Solana with a whopping $14.6 million in new money, followed by others showing strong patterns of accumulation. Let's break down the top five and what might be fueling their momentum.

1. USELESS (Solana): Massive $14.6M Inflows and Strong Retail FOMO

$USELESS, a satirical meme token on Solana that pokes fun at utility-obsessed cryptos, is topping the charts with $14.6 million in fresh wallet flows. Priced at around $0.27 (check live on CoinMarketCap) and boasting a market cap of about $267 million, it's seen a 10% price bump this week. What's drawing the crowd? Nansen highlights massive inflows over seven days, with established players selling while new wallets aggressively buy in – a classic sign of retail fear of missing out (FOMO). Launched without a roadmap or real utility, $USELESS thrives on community hype, backed by Solana influencers like Bonk Guy. If you're eyeing entry points, this could indicate a new wave of participants pushing prices higher.

2. FARTCOIN (Solana): $3.1M Inflows with Multi-Signal Bullish Vibes

Next up is $FARTCOIN, another Solana standout with $3.1 million in fresh inflows. Trading at roughly $0.89 (view on CoinGecko), it holds a market cap exceeding $800 million, up 1.2% this week. Nansen notes a multi-signal bullish confluence, including whale buys (+$1.1 million), top PnL traders, and broad accumulation across investor types. Born from an AI bot called Truth Terminal's viral chats, $FARTCOIN has skyrocketed over 600% in the past month, ranking as Solana's fifth-largest meme coin. Its irreverent humor and community-driven growth make it a fun yet volatile pick – ideal for those watching cross-chain expansions and meme trends.

3. BONK (Solana): $2.3M Inflows Signaling New Retail Interest

The OG Solana dog coin, $BONK, pulls in $2.3 million from fresh wallets, with a price of $0.000023 (track on CoinMarketCap) and a hefty $1.9 billion market cap. Despite a slight 4.2% dip this week, Nansen points to fresh wallets buying while established holders distribute – a nod to renewed retail buzz in this established meme. Launched in 2022 with a massive airdrop to the Solana community, $BONK uses a mix of proof-of-history and proof-of-stake for speedy transactions. It's not just hype; integrations like BONKbot for trading add some utility. For blockchain practitioners, this inflow could hint at Solana's ecosystem rebounding, making $BONK a staple for meme portfolios.

4. DINO (Base): $1.1M Inflows and Cross-Chain Expansion

Shifting to Base, $DINO grabs $1.1 million in fresh flows, priced at $0.002 (see details on CoinMarketCap) with a $22.2 million market cap – up 17.4% this week. Nansen describes strong Base chain meme patterns, including exchange outflows (-$1.7 million), suggesting expansion from other chains. As a meme token blending humor with potential NFT ties (think Dino characters in games), $DINO appeals to those exploring Base's low-fee environment. With a fixed supply and community incentives, it's drawing new wallets amid Base's growing popularity. Keep an eye on this for cross-chain meme plays, especially if Ethereum layer-2 hype continues.

5. WOJAK (Solana): $80.2K Inflows with Explosive Price Action

Rounding out the list is $WOJAK on Solana, with $80.2k in fresh inflows. At $0.00035 (monitor on CoinGecko), it sports a $24 million market cap and an 11.5% weekly gain. Nansen flags explosive price performance tied to moderate fresh wallet interest and growing retail attention. Inspired by the iconic "Feels Guy" meme, $WOJAK builds a decentralized platform for meme trading and community building. Its multi-chain presence (also on Ethereum) adds flexibility, making it a go-to for meme enthusiasts. This smaller inflow still signals early-stage momentum, potentially rewarding patient holders as the community expands.

These inflows, all on Solana and Base, underscore the chains' dominance in the meme token scene – Solana for its speed and low costs, Base for Ethereum compatibility. If you're a blockchain practitioner looking to stay ahead, tools like Nansen's token tracker can help spot these rotations early. Remember, meme tokens are high-risk, so always DYOR and consider market volatility. What's your take on these picks – ready to dive in or waiting for more signals?
