What Is Popcat (POPCAT)?
POPCAT is a Solana token associated with Popcat, an internet cat meme. The token is a separate on-chain asset, not the original meme or a claim on its creators. A Kraken crypto-asset statement explicitly says the token has no connection to the creators of the meme. This entry refers to the POPCAT mint on Solana, not similarly named tokens on other networks.

How POPCAT Works
POPCAT is a fungible token on Solana. Its mint can be checked on Solscan; a token name or ticker by itself is not a unique identifier. Solana provides the underlying transaction and account infrastructure, while POPCAT is one token that uses it. It should not be confused with the web meme or clicker game that made the cat image recognizable.
POPCAT Tokenomics
CoinGecko lists roughly 979.979 million POPCAT as circulating, total, and maximum supply. Kraken’s August 2025 crypto-asset statement described the launch distribution as 93.1% to a public liquidity pool and 6.9% to a multisignature reserve for listings, bridges, and liquidity; it reported no presale, airdrop, or team allocation at launch. That is a dated description of the launch, not a current ownership breakdown or proof of how the reserve is used today.
The same 2025 statement characterized POPCAT as a memecoin without active functionality or utility at that time. The material reviewed here does not document revenue rights, a protocol fee share, or formal governance power for holders. Demand is therefore exposed to meme popularity, community attention, liquidity, exchange support, and speculation rather than a documented cash-flow claim.
Risks and Common Confusion
POPCAT’s name comes from a meme featuring a cat called Oatmeal, but the token is not the meme itself and is not endorsed by its creators according to Kraken’s statement. Meme-token prices can be highly volatile, and liquidity or attention can fall as quickly as it rises. Confirm the full Solana mint before a transfer or swap, and treat screenshots, ticker searches, and unofficial claims of affiliation cautiously.
Social Media Sentiment
In one r/solana discussion about network metrics, a commenter lists POPCAT among popular Solana meme tokens, while other replies question whether some activity metrics reflect bots and caution against hype. The thread is about Solana broadly, not a POPCAT poll, and its comments are a limited historical sample. It shows mixed enthusiasm and skepticism in that discussion, not current market-wide sentiment.
