Meme hype has entered the AI era of human-machine resonance.
The story begins with a16z founder Marc Andreessen’s conversation with “The Terminal of Truth” on Twitter.
@truth_terminal is a Twitter account and an AI bot that can intelligently communicate with other Twitter users based on AI models and sentiment perception. @truth_terminal is a finely tuned OPUS large language model, trained on data from sites like reddit and 4chan. Basically, it is trained on extreme subculture content. It is designed to debate AI-generated belief systems and incorporate meme elements.
According to Decrypt, the Truth Terminal operates in semi-autonomous mode, and its human administrators only approve its Twitter posts and decide who to interact with. What made it a hit was that a16z founder Marc Andreessen sent it $50,000 worth of Bitcoin.
On October 11, Truth Terminal updated its Twitter account again and decided to launch a Meme coin called goatseus maximus on Solana. It also meaningfully mentioned in the tweet: You own your Meme, but your Meme does not own you. Subsequently, the eponymous token goatseus maximus (GOAT) was created on Pump.fun.
As of now, GOAT’s market value has reached 300 million US dollars, and it has successfully brought the AI narrative Meme project into the spotlight.
Iteration, narrative, creativity, Meme coins are permeating every corner of the crypto industry
At the end of last year, with the rise of Meme coins such as MYRO, SILLY, and WIF, the first wave of Meme craze in this cycle began; in March of this year, the Meme pre-sale of BOME and SLERF ignited the second wave of craze. During this stage, more and more Meme coins began to land on centralized exchanges, thus gaining more widespread attention.
Then, as the crypto market entered a volatile phase, the overall performance of altcoins was weak, while Meme trading platforms represented by pump.fun further promoted the continuation of the Meme craze through infrastructure upgrades, contributing to the outbreak of the third wave of Meme. After successfully surviving the market downturn in September, emerging animal Meme coins became the focus of the market, among which MOODENG achieved a maximum increase of 3,320.00% in the secondary market after its initial listing on LBank.
In fact, these tokens do not need substantial product support, but are driven by the market's "imitation premium". The value of Meme comes from its grasp of the needs of ordinary investors: to achieve wealth growth by holding tokens.
Get rich quick & liquidity, the value of Meme coins in the secondary market
Of course, for many users who want to participate in the Meme market, the most efficient way is to participate directly through the centralized trading platform of the secondary market.
Take GOAT as an example (LBank trading platform is GOATSEUS), which has been launched on many centralized trading platforms such as LBank (October 12, 12:30), MEXC (October 13, 20:00), CoinEx (October 14, 08:00), XT.COM (October 14, 12:00). Taking LBank, the earliest trading platform to launch this currency, as an example, if users buy it when it is launched, they can get a maximum return rate of 7,230.20%.
In addition to GOAT, LBank launched most of the popular Meme coins such as FIGHT, MIGGLES, NEIRO, KAMA, DOGS, CAT, WDOG earlier than other exchanges and achieved good market effects.

In addition to the large number of Meme coins launched by LBank, the average increase of its coins is also much higher than other trading platforms. Public data shows that LBank launched a total of 18 Meme coins in September, with an average increase of 1,354.30%, which is higher than the industry average.
In fact, the centralized platforms in the secondary market are actively taking over the traffic of Meme projects, and by optimizing the listing process and conducting in-depth community screening, they are providing users with more promising Meme projects. Taking LBank as an example, data shows that it launched 50 Meme coins in the third quarter of 2024, of which 28 increased by more than 200%, 14 increased by more than 500%, and 9 increased by more than 1,000%.
Overall, centralized platforms play a key bridge role in the Meme market, providing users with a convenient way to participate. The participation of these platforms not only accelerates the popularization of Meme coins, but also helps users realize value.
Perhaps one day, AIs will form their own crypto ecosystem and participate in various activities in the crypto field on an equal footing with humans.
