Eastern memes are taking over the crypto world.



While foreigners are frantically decoding the meanings of "Suoha" and "XiuXian" using translation software, Chinese Meme coins have quietly rewritten the discourse power landscape of the crypto universe. In October 2025, a meme called "Crypto Life" surged by 3000 times within 48 hours, pushing its market cap beyond $500 million. Even the Solana official team couldn't sit still and urgently launched a Chinese counterpart product. The Base chain also launched its own version, eager to compete. This carnival led by Chinese culture is pulling the crypto market from "Western meme monopoly" into a new era of "multicultural collision."

Why did Chinese memes suddenly become popular?

Honestly, the crypto space has long been dominated by Western memes—Dogecoin, Pepe Frog, and similar symbols have long held the mainstream. But now, the situation has reversed. Chinese memes like "Hajimi" and "Customer Service Xiao He" are becoming essential knowledge for global speculators. Behind this is an interesting phenomenon: as the purchasing power and creativity of Eastern communities begin to emerge, cultural influence is shifting accordingly.

BNB Chain attracted $6.05 billion in trading volume on a single day through a certain trading platform, a figure that demonstrates how crazy the market is. Major public chains like Solana and Base have launched Chinese interaction features with a clear goal—seizing the benefits of the Chinese-speaking community. Project teams have also changed their strategies, moving away from relying solely on heavy technical whitepapers to instead focus on emotional resonance and listing expectations to rally community strength.

Wealth myths and bubble warnings

Some people are truly making crazy profits. There are players who exchanged 5 BNB for $1.6 million in gains—these wealth-creation stories happen every day. But that’s the problem—Meme coins are fundamentally emotional games, not value investments.

The crash on October 11, 2025, taught many people a lesson: most Meme coins plummeted over 80% in a single day, and those chasing the hype instantly lost everything. If Chinese Meme coins only stay at the hype level, they will eventually fade away. But if practical scenarios are found—such as integrating charity projects or gaming ecosystems—they could push the crypto space toward a new stage of cultural coexistence.

The rise of Eastern memes is both an opportunity and a warning. The market has never been this crazy, and risks have never been so obvious.

Can 5 BNB exchange for 1.6 million? Can you teach me about fantasy collaboration?

The "All-in" meme could have made money; I would have gone all-in early. Now it's a bit late to talk about this.

Another new trick to harvest the leeks; I don't believe anyone can make money steadily.

honestly, the 80% wipeouts are the real story here—sentiment mechanics, nothing more. technically speaking, these memes lack any actual utility layer, so yeah, it's all vapor until proven otherwise.

Really, this wave of Chinese meme hype is a bit over the top, but I also don't understand why they are so obsessed with 3000x returns. Stories of losing everything are actually more common. Wait, can 5 BNB really turn into 1.6 million? That number is just too crazy. It's still a gambling game at its core, don't be fooled by the story. This kind of hype won't last long, I bet 5 bucks it will cool off next month. Meme coins definitely attract more people to enter, but the pattern of cutting leeks hasn't changed. The purchasing power of Chinese communities is indeed strong, but that doesn't mean Meme coins have a future. Behind a trading volume of 6.05 billion, how many people got liquidated? Are foreigners really frantically decoding "all-in"? I haven't seen it. If it's just an emotional game, it will eventually be replaced by newer memes. Solana and Base jumping on the Chinese product bandwagon, they're just trying to make quick money. The warning is right, but few people actually listen.

Hakimi's meme is really hilarious, foreigners are all confused Just worried it’s another scam to cut leeks 5 BNB for 1.6 million? Just hear it, there are more stories of losing everything The meme culture in the crypto world is indeed changing, but will this wave be just a flash in the pan The purchasing power of Chinese communities is indeed strong, but the risks are real The ups and downs of meme coins are more exciting than a roller coaster, I’ll stay on the sidelines for now
