Meme coins have really exploded in this wave of market activity. The total global market cap of Meme coins has increased by 23% in one week, now surpassing $47.7 billion. Many are asking, is this really a reshuffle this time?

Looking at the data, there are some interesting points. The BSC chain within a leading exchange ecosystem has become the main battleground for Chinese Meme coins, with daily trading volume soaring to $160 million. BOB has surged over 110% in 24 hours, PEPE has skyrocketed 65% in a single week, and these hot topics are definitely flooding the community. What’s the underlying logic? Chinese projects are starting to innovate—JMONEY integrates Chinese folk customs to create on-chain totems, HODL combines DeFi mechanisms with fair distribution, moving beyond just hype to building ecosystems with real support.

There are also regulatory good news. The SEC has clarified that Meme coins are non-securities, and the EU’s MiCA framework has been implemented, clearing many compliance hurdles for Chinese projects. Coupled with cultural resonance advantages, Chinese projects are indeed breaking through.

The speed at which traders are entering is also rapid. 100,000 new traders have flooded in, with retail investors accounting for over 40%, some even squeezing out traditional mainstream coins. Who will be the next to achieve a hundredfold increase? It’s really hard to say.

But honestly, Meme coins are extremely volatile. Risks like project scams, malicious dumps, contract vulnerabilities, and regulatory changes all need to be carefully considered before entering—profits and losses are all on your own.

PEPE-6,83%

477 billion breaks a new high, but this time it's really different. Chinese projects finally have substance. --- PEPE, BOB are soaring directly, retail investors flooding in, this pace is a bit scary. --- Don't be blinded by the gains, the drama of rug pulls and dumpings happens every week. DYOR really shouldn't just be a slogan. --- Chinese Meme creating ecological support, this is the logic for survival. --- A 110% increase looks great, but the quick dump afterwards is also very fast. Have you thought about the risks? --- 100,000 new retail investors are entering, this is the rhythm of taking over, haha. --- Regulatory good news indeed clears obstacles, but how long it can last is really uncertain. --- HODL and JMONEY blend folk customs, sounds fresh but it's actually the same old trick. --- I just want to know who will be the next project to get爆破ed this time. --- Excited as I am, have you checked the contract code? No? Then wait a bit before jumping in.

Wow, BOB increased by 110% in one day? I didn't see this wave coming. Could it be that I'm about to get cut again?

Really? A 110% increase sounds great, but I'm still hesitant. Entering now might just make me the bag holder.

Really? BOB is so powerful. I just looked at the data yesterday. --- JMONEY definitely has something this time, unlike those previous ones that were just pure money grabs. --- It's not really a reshuffle; it's just retail investors being harvested again. --- 475 billion almost matches a mainstream coin. The bubble feeling is so strong. --- 40% of new traders are retail investors. That ratio is a bit dangerous. --- Daily BSC trading volume of 160 million. Will regulations come down with a one-size-fits-all approach? --- 65% increase in PEPE over a week. Just listen to it; I don't believe anyone can really buy the dip like that. --- Regulatory benefits are real, but projects running away are also common. --- Chinese projects are finally not stupid. Combining DeFi and cultural elements is indeed a good idea. --- On the bright side, it's an ecosystem; on the less bright side, it's just a disguised pump. --- 100,000 new retail investors entering; this time, capital will harvest another wave.

A hundredfold dream or a hundredfold trap, it all depends on how fast your fingers are.

This wave of Chinese memes definitely has substance, not just hype. BOB and PEPE have surged so strongly, I'm a bit tempted but still watching. Wait, retail investors account for over 40%? Isn't this just repeating last year's story? The risk of跑路 (跑路 means "跑路" or "running away") is real, I've seen too many cases.
