Mathematical formulas can't derive community consensus, and technical indicators can't measure cultural viruses. In this era where a single tweet can trigger a market frenzy, we are witnessing revolutionary changes in investment logic.

As a veteran player who has been in the crypto space for many years, I have seen too many projects go from birth to tomb. Those beautifully packaged "super high yield" projects? Most of them are carefully constructed Ponzi traps—using later investors' money to pay earlier investors. After playing this trick for so many years, I guess everyone is tired of it.

But MEME coins? They operate under a completely different set of rules.

The frog Pepe wearing a hat has become an asset, and the Shiba Inu meme has skyrocketed to a billion-dollar market cap—seeing this, I suddenly understood. This market is no longer a technical competition arena; it has become a battleground for community consensus and cultural identity.

From jokes to phenomenon-level assets, how did MEME coins achieve this?

DOGE was created in 2013 as a Bitcoin network meme, and no one expected it to grow into a giant worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Even more astonishing, PEPE, which emerged in recent years, has multiplied several thousand times in a short period, directly ranking at the top of the MEME sector market cap.

The value of MEME coins is actually very clear—it doesn't come from any advanced technical protocol or promised returns, but purely from community recognition and overwhelming cultural dissemination.

Look at the current data: by 2025, the total market cap of MEME coins has surpassed $8 billion, a 300% increase over 2024. DOGE's daily trading volume remains steadily leading, and the entire MEME sector's market share has already surpassed many established crypto projects, becoming an increasingly important part of the overall crypto market.
