Uranus is a Solana meme coin built on the oldest planet pun on the internet, launched through the Jupiter launchpad in 2025 and rallying to a market capitalization around 70 million dollars in August 2025 on whale accumulation and exchange listings.
Uranus is a community driven meme coin on Solana whose entire premise is the ancient schoolyard pun on the name of the seventh planet. It launched in 2025 through the Jupiter launchpad ecosystem and grew into the largest project associated with that venue, with tickers rendered as URANUS or ANUS depending on the listing venue.
Origin
The coin was created during the 2025 launchpad wars, when Jupiter, the dominant Solana swap aggregator, pushed into token launches to challenge pump.fun. Uranus launched with a fixed supply of 100 million tokens, nearly all circulating, and leaned fully into the planet joke for its branding while adding community governance so holders could vote on project initiatives. Coverage described it as a community takeover style project whose momentum came from holders rather than a founding team, and it became the flagship token of Jupiter's launch platform.
Market history
The token traded as low as about 0.073 dollars in July 2025 before rallying roughly tenfold within weeks to highs around 0.73 dollars. On August 13, 2025 the price rose about 60 percent in a single day, a move CoinDesk coverage attributed to whale accumulation and a new centralized exchange listing that deepened liquidity. At the peak of that run its market capitalization reached about 70 million dollars, briefly making it one of the most watched Solana meme coins of the summer alongside Aura. Volatility remained extreme in both directions afterward, in keeping with the attention cycle of the trenches.
Cultural impact
Uranus demonstrated that in the launchpad era the oldest and dumbest joke available could still outperform elaborate narratives, a point traders made repeatedly when comparing it to utility flavored competitors. Its rise was also read as a proof of concept for Jupiter's launch platform in its fight with pump.fun for Solana order flow, showing a coin born outside the dominant venue could still reach centralized exchanges. The double ticker, polite on some listings and not on others, became part of the bit.
