Popcat (POPCAT): What It Is, Uses and Risks

Popcat (POPCAT) is a meme coin issued on the Solana blockchain. Its identity comes from a series of viral videos in which an image of a cat named Oatmeal is edited so the cat appears to open its mouth wide in an O shape. The token is built around that internet meme rather than around a product, service or company. Public descriptions characterise it as a community-driven asset whose main purpose is entertainment. Its value depends mostly on how many people want to hold it at a given time, so its price can move sharply in either direction. Readers should treat it as a speculative internet-culture token rather than a tool with a defined function.

the public information available for this page do not describe a working use case for POPCAT, such as governance voting, staking rewards, payments or access to a specific service. Public material says the token is designed mainly for entertainment and carries no inherent financial value or promised return. Some sources mention ongoing community initiatives aimed at boosting engagement and liquidity on Solana, but these are described in general terms and are not tied to a documented, verifiable programme. Anyone considering the token should check the latest official channels rather than rely on summaries. Where the purpose of a token is unclear, it is safer to assume that holding it is a bet on community interest and market demand.

As of 2026-11-05, the data showed a circulating supply of about 979.98 million POPCAT, which equals the total supply. The stated maximum supply is about 979.98 million as well, a gap of roughly 25 tokens, so almost all possible tokens already exist. At the time of writing the price was about $0.039, giving a market capitalisation of about $38.5 million and a fully diluted valuation of about the same figure. The 24-hour trading volume was about $3.7 million, and the token ranked 542nd by market capitalisation. The all-time high was about $2.05 on 2024-11-17, and the all-time low was about $0.0038 on 2024-01-05. Over the prior seven days the price was down about 5.5 percent, and over one year it was down about 68.6 percent. These figures change constantly and are not a forecast.

POPCAT is issued on Solana. It is not the native token of a chain, which means it depends on Solana for its transactions, fees and wallet support. To hold or send the token, a user needs a wallet that supports Solana and the correct token address. Sending POPCAT to an address on a different network, or using a token standard that does not match, can lead to lost funds that are very hard to recover. Before any transfer, readers should confirm the network, check the amount and fees, and send a small test amount first. Solana's own network conditions, such as congestion or outages, can also affect how quickly transfers settle.

Meme coins are highly volatile, and POPCAT's price history shows large swings, including a fall of more than two thirds over one year. Trading volume and market value can drop quickly, which can make it hard to sell at a fair price. Scammers often copy popular meme coin names and logos, so readers should confirm the contract address through official sources before buying. Some promotional material claims the token has been protected from manipulation, but these claims are not independently verified. Never share a seed phrase or private key, and do not approve wallet permissions for sites you have not checked. Keep only what you can afford to lose in a wallet you control, and be aware that blockchain transactions usually cannot be reversed.
