Why can MEME in 2024 create so many myths?
Memecoins have shown remarkable performance in the crypto market this year. The CoinGecko report acts like a "telescope" in this field, clearly showing that Memecoins occupy 31% of the cryptocurrency narrative, a significant increase compared to last year's 8.32%, growing nearly 4 times like a rocket launch.
For instance, the memecoin launchpad Pump.fun has shown stunning performance on the Solana platform. This year, nearly 5 million new memecoins were born on this platform, like a surge of new "little warriors". The Solana platform has also profited immensely from these transactions, collecting fees exceeding $335 million.
On the grand stage of the entire crypto narrative, the main memecoin narrative firmly occupies the C position, attracting 14.36% of investors' attention. Further breaking it down, four memecoin trends successfully made it into the top 20: Solana memecoins (7.65%), Base memecoins (2.13%), AI memecoins (1.49%), and cat-themed memecoins (1.19%), which are like four dark horses galloping through the market.
While memecoins are thriving, on the other side, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been accelerating this year like a car at full throttle, showing rapid growth. This has sparked investor interest in the intersection of AI and blockchain, becoming a hot topic in the crypto community, occupying a 15.67% share of attention.
The core AI ecosystem acts like a powerful "energy core", with high heat, ranking second with a share of 12.58%, an increase of 1.26% compared to last year. Trends such as AI agents (1.17%) and AI meme coins (1.49%) continuously "fuel the fire" of AI's influence in the cryptocurrency field, making its flame burn even brighter.
In this market, there are also other "roles" that are constantly changing. The narrative of Real World Assets (RWA) acts like a slowly rising "potential stock", gradually emerging and gaining an 8.64% share of investor equity, successfully climbing to third place, with a growth of 2.16% compared to 2023.
