It’s not just that BSC has more junk than gems, but also that savvier, aggressive market players front-ran the more trusting and relaxed ones. This has shifted the meme coin landscape—at least for now.
🕰 Chronology of Events:
- Euphoria Phase:
Binance listed GOAT, PNUT, MOODENG, and even ACT, which skyrocketed by 20x! SOL broke out of its range and surpassed the 2024 ATH.
- Disappointments:
- Pump.science fizzled out after two API hack fiascos.
- Streams on pump.fun descended into chaos, driving away the community’s healthy core. Rumors of "letters from authorities" spread.
- Liquidity Shifts:
Funds moved into classic alts like XRP and EOS. Logical—if someone made $50M on memes, the next step might be to aim for $500M by diversifying into broad altcoins at their bottom.
- CZ’s Take:
CZ joked that while memes are fun, they lack utility, hinting at a revival of utility tokens.
- Volumes Drop:
Solana volumes peaked from November 10–21 but later declined (though they remain 2x higher than March levels). Ethereum’s ecosystem fared better, with ETH itself showing growth.
🌟 Emerging Trends:
1. Bonding Curve + Streams: A powerful combo. Imagine coins with interactive ties to the physical world—robotics, technical streams, etc.
2. AI: Another growth wave is coming—it’s just a matter of time. 🤖
3. Situational Memes: Sharp social and political memes are here to stay.
4. DeSci: An underexplored narrative.
5. UFOs: Expect a surge in related memes. 👽
6. Personality-driven Memes: Projects tied to Musk, Trump’s team, Vitalik, and others will keep surfacing.
✨ Conclusion: Meme coins may take a breather, but the space isn’t dead. Trends like AI, bonding curves, and social/political narratives ensure the next wave of creativity and excitement is just around the corner! 🚀
