Pippin (PIPPIN): Solana’s Most Whimsical Meme Coin
Since 2024, the Solana (SOL) ecosystem has been buzzing with record-shattering meme coins, such as Dogwifhat (WIF), Bonk Inu (BONK), Popcat (POPCAT) and cat in a dogs world (MEW), among others dominating the space.
Whales and regular investors alike have been making early moves to buy Solana-based meme coins, and some have earned millions of dollars within hours.
Now, a crypto whale who bought WIF early has brought attention to another Solana meme coin known as Pippin by buying $1.52 million worth of PIPPIN tokens.
Let's learn more about Pippin, and why it could be the next big thing on Solana.
Key Takeaways:
PIPPIN is a Solana-based meme coin that began as a fun project by venture capitalist Yohei Nakajima, who was experimenting with AI through ChatGPT.
PIPPIN is available on Bybit’s Innovation Zone as a Perpetual contract with leverage of up to 20X.
What Is Pippin (PIPPIN)?
PIPPIN is a Solana-based meme coin that was created by a venture capitalist having fun with AI through ChatGPT.
The story is that its creator, Yohei Nakajima, was playing around with AI, trying to create a picture of a unicorn. After generating a few entertaining pictures, he settled on one and asked ChatGPT to name the picture. GPT came up with the name “Pippin,” and even created a personality for the picture.
Thereafter, some developers generated a meme coin known as Pippin on Pump.fun, Solana’s popular meme coin generation app. Shortly after, Yohei endorsed the token and even bought a chunk of its supply, and has since been promoting it on X. Yohei is a venture capitalist with a massive following on X, including prominent figures such as Mario Nawfal, the host of the largest show on X, and anonymous crypto trader ImNotTheWolf.
Pippin caught the attention of the crypto community when on-chain whale tracker Lookonchain tweeted that a whale who had earned millions of dollars by getting in early on WIF and PNUT had invested $1.52 million to buy PIPPIN tokens.

Pippin vs. Fartcoin
Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) was launched in October, 2024, a month before Pippin. The viral meme coin project allows people to submit flatulence jokes and memes in return for rewards in tokens.

In terms of price, Fartcoin is trading at $0.4959, approximately 1,887% higher than Pippin's current price of $0.03278.
PIPPIN vs. VINE
VINE was launched on Jan 23, 2025, by one of the co-founders of Vine, a now-defunct video-sharing app. It immediately went viral, causing Pump.fun to hit one of its highest trading volumes in a single day. According to the co-founder of Vine, Rus Yusupov, the Vine meme coin was created to help its community remember the fun they had when creating the app.

With the recent altcoin sell-off, price prediction experts have become relatively cautious about PIPPIN's future price. According to CoinCodex’s price prediction platform, PIPPIN may hit a maximum price of $0.042 in 2027 and gradually increase to $0.135 by 2030.

These price predictions don’t guarantee the future price of PIPPIN. We highly recommend that you do your own research before investing in PIPPIN or any other altcoins.
