Nyan Cat ($NYAN), contract address CMx7yon2cLzHcXqgHsKJhuU3MmME6noWLQk2rAycBAGS, has erupted within Solana’s meme coin universe, achieving its all-time high market cap of $12.1 million, achieving today’s market cap of $7.2 million, with an explosive 24-hour volume of $27.0 million on August 8, 2025. Structured on Solana’s high-speed, low-fee blockchain, the $NYAN mimics the legendary Nyan Cat, also known as Pop Tart Cat—a retro 8-bit animation of a space-faring flying cat with the body shaped like a cherry Pop-Tart, with the rainbow behind it.

It has its origins in the long-lived afterlife of Nyan Cat, made by Chris Torres in April 2011. The animation, superimposed on the Japanese pop song, went viral on YouTube and, by 2025, had been viewed over 216 million times, Know Your Meme states. Resurrected on Pump.fun, the $NYAN takes advantage of the wave of nostalgia. Along with the same wave of popular culture behind the revival of the big cat memecoin, the new coin takes advantage of the same wave of popular consciousness behind tokens within the Solana ecosystem.
For investors interested in Nyan Cat’s silly, neon-colored beginnings, there’s the riskier option to catch the memecoin ride with gigantic potential upside on the horizon for Solana’s colorful ecosystem.
