On December 23, 2025, Russia's central bank proposed a significant regulatory shift to expand cryptocurrency access to non-qualified, or retail, investors. This move would open the door for everyday traders to participate in the crypto market, a development analysts predict will lead to increased trading volume, heightened attention on accessible projects, and new capital flowing into coins that are easy for the general public to buy.
The proposal is seen as creating a fertile environment for meme coins and early-stage projects to experience rapid growth. Retail investors typically gravitate towards projects with clear narratives and easy-to-understand use cases, which often includes meme coins. This anticipated influx of new capital has intensified focus on specific projects positioned to benefit.
One project highlighted is DeepSnitch AI (DSNT), which is nearing the $1 million mark in its presale, having raised over $880,000. Its token price has already increased 100% from its launch price, currently sitting at $0.0302 in Stage 3 of its presale. The project offers AI-powered trading tools that track whale movements and scan for risky contracts. Its presale includes bonus codes (DSNTVIP50 and DSNTVIP100) that expire on January 1, 2026, with rumors of Centralized Exchange (CEX) listings planned for January 2026.
Other meme coins cited as potential beneficiaries include Wall Street Pepe (WEPE), trading around $0.00001637; Flockerz (FLOCK) at approximately $0.00004916; the Meme Index (MEMEX) basket token near $0.0002708; and the established Dogwifhat (WIF), trading around $0.32.
Separately, attention is also turning to early-stage presale projects for 2026. DOGEBALL ($DOGEBALL) is noted as a standout, featuring a live Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain (DOGECHAIN) and a playable online game with a $1 million prize pool during its whitelist stage. Its structured presale runs for four months across 15 stages, starting at $0.0003 with a target listing price of $0.015. Other mentioned presales include PEPENODE, Digitap ($TAP), and Blazpay (BLAZ).
