Top Solana Crypto Tokens Under $1 Gaining Momentum in 2026

Solana’s Low-Cost Crypto Tokens Under $1 Are Back on Trader Radar

Crypto tokens under $1 are once again in focus as the Solana ecosystem sees renewed trading activity heading into 2026. From high-volume memecoins to utility-driven DeFi platforms, low-priced tokens are drawing both retail traders and early-stage investors. 

Why Solana Ecosystem Crypto Tokens Under $1 Are Trending in 2026

Top crypto projects such as Bonk, Jupiter, Pump.fun, and Lido DAO are showing increased on-chain usage, liquidity growth, and social engagement. These top Solana ecosystem tokens under $1 that are currently shaping market conversations.

1) Turbo (TURBO) 

Turbo is a Solana-ecosystem memecoin that began as an AI-created meme experiment. Traders like it because it’s cheap per coin and easy to trade on Solana DEXes. Right now the token sits under $0.01, and social media buzz plus short-term volume spikes are the main reason people trade it. 

Market trend: small daily gains but sensitive to meme-season hype. 

Why it could grow: memecoin cycles and viral marketing can push rapid gains — if a big influencer or platform event drives volume, price can spike quickly. 

Risk: memecoins are highly volatile.

Current Price $0.001922 · Market Cap $132.65M · 24h change +0.46% · 24h Volume $15.45M · Circulating 69B · Max supply 69B, YTD change: approx +10.2%.

2) Pump.fun (PUMP) 

Current Price $0.002264 · Market Cap $801.6M · 24h change +5.10% · 24h Volume $236.7M · Circulating ~354B · Max supply 1T, YTD change: approx +7.3%

Pump.fun is both a platform and a native token tied to a huge memecoin launch ecosystem on Solana. The platform lets creators mint meme coins and has drawn massive daily volume. PUMP’s value is linked to platform fees, buyback mechanics and overall memecoin activity. 

Market trend: strong volume and volatile price swings — big inflows when memecoin mania returns, pullbacks when launches slow. 

Why it could grow: if Pump.fun keeps high trading fees and expands features, more users, more launches, token-fee flows or burns could support price. But regulatory and reputational risks are real.

3) Bonk (BONK) remains the most recognized Solana meme coin under $1

Bonk is a big Solana meme coin—originally community-led and widely held across Solana wallets. It functions mostly as a social/meme currency rather than a utility token. Traders treat it as a way to bet on Solana’s meme cycle: when Solana activity rises, BONK often sees big pump moves. 

Market trend: short-term rallies and pullbacks tied to meme season. 

Why it could grow: renewed Solana on-chain activity, high social volume, or integration into memecoin platforms can lift demand; downside is that Bonk’s huge supply makes big percentage moves less predictable and more volatile.

Current Price $0.000010 · Market Cap $921.5M · 24h change −2.70% · 24h Volume $115.6M · Circulating ~87.995T · Max supply ~88.87T, YTD change: approx +21.8%

4) Mog Coin (MOG)

Mog Coin is another Solana meme project that gained traction in NFT and meme circles. It’s cheap per token and has a massive circulating supply, which is common in meme tokens made to be widely held. 

Market trend: modest daily moves and occasional bursts tied to NFT drops, community shilling, or pump campaigns. 

Why it could grow: community momentum, cross-platform listings, and NFT tie-ins can push demand. As with all memecoins, big upside comes with big risk — news, exchange listings or viral events cause fast moves.

Current Price $0.000000309 · Market Cap $120.76M · 24h change +0.73% · 24h Volume $7.61M · Circulating ~390.57T · Max supply 420.69T, YTD change: approx +24.9%.

5) World Liberty Financial (WLFI) 

WLFI is a high-profile token tied to the World Liberty Financial ecosystem (stablecoin USD1, payments and related products). It has seen attention because of its political connections and large stablecoin flows. 

Market trend: larger-cap token behavior — sensitive to regulatory headlines, stablecoin adoption and news coverage. 

Why it could grow: if USD1 adoption rises, or if the firm secures partnerships / banking charters, WLFI could gain utility demand and price support. But political and regulatory scrutiny makes WLFI higher-profile and higher-risk than a simple memecoin.

Current Price $0.167818 · Market Cap $4.49B · 24h change −1.97% · 24h Volume $131.17M · Circulating ~26.74B · Max supply 100B, YTD change: approx +14.4%

6) Jupiter (JUP) 

Jupiter is Solana’s DEX-aggregator / DeFi superapp token. JUP is used for governance, staking and platform rewards. It’s a more utility-style token than the memecoins above — its price is tied to the DEX’s fees, buybacks and product growth. 

Market trend: moderate volatility; short-term moves often follow announcements about buybacks or airdrops. 

Why it could grow: if Jupiter increases fee revenue, adds features (perps, lending, mobile growth) or reduces token unlock pressure, JUP could see steady demand from users and builders. Still, token unlocks and buyback effectiveness matter a lot.

Current Price $0.210914 · Market Cap $672.9M · 24h change −2.31% · 24h Volume $19.68M · Circulating ~3.19B · Max supply 7B, YTD change: approx +5.5% 

7) Lido DAO (LDO) 

Lido DAO runs liquid-staking services (stETH and others). LDO is a governance token used to vote on protocol changes; value links to staking demand and Lido’s TVL (total value locked). 

Market trend: LDO behaves like a blue-chip DeFi token — moves with staking demand, Ethereum price action and DeFi sentiment. 

Why it could grow: if staking demand rises (more ETH staked via Lido), or if Lido expands to new chains and keeps TVL high, LDO can get governance-driven upside. Compared with memecoins, LDO is more utility/DeFi oriented and less purely speculative.

Current Price $0.637177 · Market Cap $539.41M · 24h change +1.30% · 24h Volume $34.55M · Circulating ~846.57M,  YTD change: approx +5.05%

Conclusion

All seven tokens are under $1 and worth watching for different reasons: memecoins Turbo, Pump.fun, Bonk and Mog move fast with social and launchpad volume; utility tokens Jupiter, Lido track product growth and staking demand; WLFI is tied to stablecoin / institutional moves and news. These are high-risk, high-volatility plays — good for watchlists and small exposure, not a lifetime-savings bet.
