A 23% surge in a week, breaking through $47.7 billion — behind this wave in the global Meme coin market, the Chinese community's meme coins are quietly rewriting the entire landscape with a combination of "policy + capital + ecosystem."

How obvious is this change? In previous years, those Chinese projects on the fringe are now leveraging support from major exchanges and a clearer regulatory environment, gradually moving from peripheral participants to the center stage. Supporting this comeback are three real forces at play.

First is the safeguarding of capital. BNB Chain's $100 million permanent liquidity plan has attracted many Chinese projects to participate, with new projects launched on top exchanges able to receive incentives of up to $80,000. This is not small change but a genuine commitment, directly fueling the enthusiasm of on-chain entrepreneurs. Second is the shift in regulatory environment. The advancement of relevant legislation in the US, the implementation of the EU’s MiCA framework, and the SEC’s clear recognition that Meme coins are not securities—all these policy trends, though from different countries and regions, point in the same direction: compliance is becoming possible. For Chinese projects, the implementation of these policies means a clearer space for survival. The third factor is the maturity of community consensus. Super communities like Dreaming Community are changing the past "retailers fighting alone" participation model through transparent on-chain mechanisms and global deployment, with Chinese Meme coin retail investors on BSC now accounting for over 45%.

Interestingly, the gameplay of Chinese Meme coins is also evolving rapidly. No longer just "playing with memes" and "hype," but genuinely exploring practical value. Some projects embed AI tools for market insights, some collaborate with physical merchants to facilitate payment scenarios, and others use DAO governance to turn ordinary participants into ecosystem builders. This shift from "pure entertainment" to "asset institutionalization" is attracting more institutional-level investors’ attention.

Data is the most direct proof. The 24-hour trading volume of Chinese Meme coins on top platforms has surged by 300% week-over-week, with 70% of early participants realizing profits. This positive feedback loop is creating a new market attraction—seeing others make money naturally encourages more active participation.

Of course, behind the hot market, risks must also be recognized. Meme coins often have daily volatility exceeding 20%, and risks like project exit scams, malicious sell-offs, and smart contract vulnerabilities have never disappeared. Regulatory changes can also instantly alter the market landscape. Any participant should make decisions based on their own risk tolerance, avoiding blind followings or excessive optimism.

Ultimately, the crypto market in 2026 is at a critical juncture. The rise of Chinese Meme coins is not just about numbers but also signifies a change in the mindset of the entire ecosystem—shifting from short-term speculation to long-term ecosystem building. Where is the next opportunity? Perhaps in projects that already have community consensus and practical application scenarios.
