According to Politico, three Trump insiders have confirmed that Elon Musk is set to step down from his role at D.O.G.E (Department of Government Efficiency).
This marks a potential shift in the White House’s stance, which earlier claimed that Musk was ‘here to stay.’
Read on as we explore how the exit of the Dogefather could impact crypto, especially Dogecoin ($DOGE), the biggest meme coin by market cap.
We’ll also point you to some of the best meme coins worth buying right now.
Musk’s Special Government Employee Role Nears End
Despite D.O.G.E being Musk’s brainchild, the tech billionaire doesn’t look like he’ll be able to make it past the 130-day cap on his position as a special government employee.
Interestingly, though, Musk called this fake news. And he was supported by White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt.

Irrespective of whether Musk leaves D.O.G.E, the newly formed government agency will continue until 2026 thanks to an executive order by Trump.
Impact on $DOGE?
The immediate aftermath of Musk’s exit will depend on how he bows out. If it’s a smooth exit and all parties seem to be on the same page, we could see a minimal impact on crypto (including $DOGE).
However, with Musk calling his exit rumors fake, there could be some drama around his removal – if it does indeed happen. In that case, $DOGE could be more brutally impacted.
Much of the current market uncertainty is due to Trump’s tariffs, however, which came into effect on April 2.
Although we’ve recently seen glimpses of hope in top performers like $BROCCOLI, $TST, and $SUNDOG, the larger meme coin market is far from bullish.
In other words, we’re not seeing the big names, like $DOGE, $SHIB, and $TRUMP, gain any market cap or show any noteworthy price jumps.
Even so, there’s a wild theory floating around that if current market uncertainty prevails for long enough, crypto degens might just start backing meme coins as an act of rebellion. Remember GME?
All in all, unlike Musk in the Trump administration, meme coins are likely here to stay. And with that, here are three top new meme coins that are still attracting major attention.
1. BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) – The Best Meme Coin to Buy Right Now
If a pure meme coin like Dogecoin doesn’t inspire confidence in you, how about a Bitcoin-themed altcoin designed to rise alongside the King Crypto? We’re talking about BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL).
As the only crypto to offer free $BTC as loyalty rewards to its token holders, $BTCBULL has quickly established itself as one of the best cryptos to buy right now.
Its presale began in mid-February and it raised $1M in less than a day. Currently, it boasts over $4.9M in presale funding. Easily one of the hottest crypto presales going around.
Also, it’s still early in the game, so you can buy one $BTCBULL for just $0.002445. Here’s how to buy it.
$BTCBULL HODLers who store their tokens in Best Wallet will receive their $BTC share when Bitcoin touches $150K, $200K, $250K, and so on.
What’s more, there’ll also be regular token burn events at key $BTC milestones which could also boost $BTCBULL’s price.
2. Solaxy ($SOLX) – Top New Meme Coin with Real Utility
Solaxy ($SOLX) is not just another hype-based meme coin doomed to fall flat if market conditions aren’t optimal. It has real utility and builds on the success of another major blockchain, Solana, which is also why it’s expected to be one of next cryptos to explode.
While the OG Solana was always a joy to work with for meme coin developers and traders, it’s recently been plagued with issues.
This is thanks to the unexpected influx of new meme coin investors in 2025, overloading the blockchain with too many transaction requests.
Solaxy’s developers saw Solana struggle with scalability and decided to build the first-ever Layer 2 solution to solve it. $SOLX has been designed to reduce Solana’s workload by processing transactions off-chain.
Furthermore, it will also ditch the old method of processing transactions one by one and will process them in batches instead. This will lower transaction fees on Solana and boost meme coin activity on the network.
If you want to be a part of building Solana’s future, we have some good news for you. The token is currently in presale – where it’s raised close to $29M. This means you can buy $SOLX for an astonishingly low price of $0.001682.
If this is your first presale purchase, here’s a guide on how to buy Solaxy.
3. Tutorial ($TUT) – Education-Based Meme Project Currently Trending
Every now and then, a meme coin comes along that flips the script. It dominates all gain lists and proves that, despite all the noise, there’s still a lot of money to be made in hype-backed and trending cryptos. Tutorial ($TUT) is one such token.
Tutorial, as the name suggests, aims to educate folks (by leveraging the power of AI) about everything crypto – including DeFi, blockchain tech, and the BNB network.
One of the biggest reasons we like $TUT is it’s coughed up two upward spikes recently – one on March 19 and another on March 27. This is noteworthy, as the rest of the market has been bearish.
This also means that the rally could continue despite all odds. So, the current price of $0.02335 could serve as a great entry point.
A quick look at $TUT’s recent performance: it’s up over 1,400% since its launch just over a couple of weeks ago. This includes an impressive 43% gain in just the last seven days.
Final Verdict
Despite being a long-time fan favorite, the fact remains that $DOGE – or any other meme coin, for that matter – can quickly lose the market’s favor.
It’s also best to invest only a sensible amount in these coins, considering the all-or-nothing nature of meme coin investing.
