The MemeCore crypto hard fork is driving fresh momentum in the meme-token market, with its native M token up more than 39% over the past week, trading above $2.30 and pushing its market capitalization to just over $3 billion.
The move stands out against a weaker broader meme-coin backdrop, where most mainstream tokens are down as much as 3% on the day and 10% over the week. That divergence suggests traders are rotating away from older names and into projects tied to clearer product upgrades or earlier-stage positioning.
Some of that flow is also reaching presales. Maxi Doge (MAXI), a new meme-token launch, has raised more than $4.7 million and is moving toward the $5 million mark.
MemeCore’s March 25 hard fork reduced gas fees from 1,500 gwei to 15 gwei, while also introducing account abstraction and improved EVM compatibility. The upgrade made on-chain activity cheaper and faster, helping lift trading activity and price performance.
The M token’s price broke out of a multi-week consolidation, moved through former resistance at $2.10, and then held that level as support before extending higher. Analyst Sjuul pointed to the breakout in a post on X yesterday and said the token could reach near-term highs of up to $3.
Hope you are still paying attention to $M – MEMECORE.
As I wrote last week, after the breakout came the retest and price is still holding above that flipped resistance.
As long as we don't break below, those equal highs could be next.https://t.co/Yz6ozy8uWa pic.twitter.com/YYxhGJsM9y

The rally has reinforced a familiar market pattern: even in the meme sector, infrastructure improvements and execution can quickly become a pricing catalyst.
Rotation Into Newer Meme Plays Lifts Maxi Doge
As capital moves out of slower names, traders are also looking at earlier-stage opportunities. That has helped Maxi Doge (MAXI) attract attention in presale markets.
Maxi Doge (MAXI) is built around a degen-trader Doge theme and includes live staking with a stated 66% APY. The token is also set to be used for community contests that reward top ROI performers and for gamified trading events.
The project says 25% of total supply has been allocated to its “Maxi Fund,” intended for liquidity and marketing after listing.

The presale has raised $4.72 million so far. MAXI is currently priced at $0.0002811, with another price increase scheduled for the next sale stage.
MemeCore’s recent surge has highlighted demand for meme projects that pair branding with a clearer product or utility angle. Maxi Doge is positioning itself within that same part of the market.
MAXI Presale Access and Payment Options
Investors can buy MAXI through the official Maxi Doge website by connecting a wallet through the on-site widget. The token is available for purchase with ETH, BNB, USDT, or USDC, and a bank-card payment option is also offered.
Best Wallet also lists MAXI in its “Upcoming Tokens” section. Users can download the app through the Apple App Store or Google Play, fund an account, and complete a purchase there.
Staking is available immediately after purchase, with yields of up to 66% APY, according to the project.
