Data report: September 2026
Which are the most traded meme coins among prop traders? This report answers with anonymous data from Fundex24, a crypto prop trading platform, covering challenge and funded accounts between 14 August and 13 September 2026. It shows how much of the activity went to meme coins, which coins the most accounts traded and how often those trades were shorts, in percentages and rankings only.
Three numbers that sum up the month
Meme coins took a modest share of the trading but reached a large share of the traders:
- About 11% of all trades, roughly 1 in 9, were on meme coins.
- Almost half (46%) of the accounts that traded in the period traded at least one meme coin.
- About two thirds (67.5%) of meme coin trades were shorts, and about one third were longs.
Put together, meme coins were not what most trades were about, yet close to half of the active accounts tried at least one. And of the meme coin trades that were placed, most were bets on a falling price.
Ranking: the most traded meme coins by number of accounts
The ranking orders coins by how many accounts traded each one in the period, not by how many trades were placed or how much was traded. These were the top twelve:
- 1st: DOGE
- 2nd, tied: TUT and PUMP
- 4th: USELESS
- 5th: MARSCOIN
- 6th: PIPPIN
- 7th, tied: BULLA, PENGU and DOOD
- 10th, tied: BOME and TRUMP
- 12th: 1000PEPE

Three details are easy to miss. PUMP is counted as a meme coin here, and you reach the PUMP/USDT market through the market search. 1000PEPE, one of the best-known meme coins, only ranks twelfth. And the Chinese-named 牛来 and 龙虾 were traded on challenge accounts as well.
What stands out, and what the data cannot tell you
DOGE is the clearest contrast. It is the meme coin traded by the most accounts, and one of the few with more longs than shorts: 44% of its trades were shorts, so 56% were longs. The DOGE/USDT market was traded more often in the rising direction than in the falling one.
At the other end, younger and more volatile markets were mostly shorted: MARSCOIN at 82%, PUMP at 81% and TUT at 80%. MARSCOIN only reached Binance Futures on 1 September 2026 and swung hard straight away, as MARSCOIN’s first two weeks shows in detail. TRUMP and DOOD went the other way, with fewer than a third of their trades short.
Keep the two measures apart when you read them. The ranking counts who traded a coin, not how often, so a coin further down the list may still have seen more trades than one near the top. The short share, in turn, is a share of trades: on MARSCOIN, 82% means that out of every 100 trades, 82 were shorts and 18 were longs.
What the data does not show matters just as much. It does not show who made or lost money, whether the shorts worked, or what anyone should trade next. It describes behavior in a single month, and another month could look quite different, so treat it as a picture of habits rather than a signal.
Method: period, definitions and limits
- Period: 14 August to 13 September 2026.
- Accounts: Fundex24 challenge and funded accounts.
- Meme coins: every market in the platform’s Meme category, plus PUMP, KOMA and 哈基米, which were not part of that category during the period.
- Ranking: by the number of accounts that traded each coin, published as places only.
- Short share: shorts as a percentage of all trades on that coin.
- Privacy: anonymous aggregates only, with no absolute numbers of accounts, traders or trades.
Coins that tie share a place, which is why the ranking jumps from 2nd to 4th, from 7th to 10th and from 10th to 12th.
New to prop trading? What these accounts are
If you found this page through a coin search, the accounts in this report follow a prop trading model. A trader pays a one-time fee, $29 for a $3,000 challenge account, $59 for $6,000 or $89 for $10,000, and trades under fixed rules: a 10% target in stage 1 and 8% in stage 2, a 5% daily and 10% maximum drawdown, and at least 5 trading days per stage. Traders who pass can request a funded account with an 80% profit split, and funded accounts are simulated for evaluation.
Meme coins trade on these accounts like any other market, long or short. How meme coins fit into a challenge covers the rules that bite hardest on them, long and short on meme coins explains both directions, and the three challenge plans are listed side by side.
Meme coins are highly volatile, and this report describes past trading behavior, not future results. No earnings are promised.

Not sure which size fits? Read the rules · Common questions
Did most traders short meme coins?
Most meme coin trades were shorts, about two thirds of them. That share describes trades rather than accounts, and it ranged from 86% on PIPPIN to 27% on DOOD.
Why does the report show no trade counts?
It publishes percentages and rankings only, to keep the data anonymous.
Does a high short share mean a coin will fall?
No. It shows what traders did in one period, not what the price will do or whether those trades made money.
Which markets count as meme coins in this report?
All markets in the platform’s Meme category, together with PUMP, KOMA and 哈基米. Those three were not part of that category during the period, so they were added to the definition.
Were the Chinese-named coins in the ranking?
牛来 and 龙虾 were traded on Fundex24 challenge accounts during the period. Neither is among the twelve coins in the ranking above.
