Memecoin suddenly surges: up 23% in a week, trading volume skyrockets 300%, the Solana ecosystem may become the biggest winner

Abstract generation in progress

【ChainNews】Memecoin has had an explosive start this year. In just one week, the total market capitalization of the sector skyrocketed from $38 billion at the end of December to $47.7 billion, an increase of nearly 25%. Trading activity is even more impressive—trading volume jumped from $2.17 billion to $8.7 billion, more than tripling.

Specifically, in terms of individual tokens, DOGE and SHIB both rose over 20%, while PEPE was even more aggressive, with a one-week increase of over 65%. What does this market trend reflect? Market risk appetite is clearly rebounding. Funds are starting to dare to take on those high-volatility assets again.

Following this logic, other altcoins should also be driven up. Especially Solana, whose blockchain ecosystem is already the most active in the Memecoin space. In this rebound, it is very likely to be the biggest beneficiary. As the ecosystem heats up, the ecosystem tokens naturally rise along with it.

DOGE-1.32%

SHIB-2.16%

PEPE-4.49%

SOL0.95%

Wow PEPE is directly up 65%, this momentum is pretty intense Sol is really about to take off this time, feels like the trend has shifted DOGE and SHIB, these two old coins, are also not calming down, funds are indeed starting to flow in If you're still hesitating, then don't wait any longer, with such high heat, it will definitely surge again But honestly, memecoin is just gambling, be careful not to get caught holding the bag, brother

Please, can this wave last until mid-year? I can't handle this roller coaster... PEPE is really going crazy, 65% in a week? My friend just got in yesterday and is already trapped... This time Solana really has a chance to turn around, the ecosystem vitality is there Starting to cut leeks again, be careful not to chase the high Memecoin is always a gambler's paradise, I still sleep soundly holding BTC Is this growth rate data real? It feels a bit exaggerated... The SOL ecosystem is finally taking off, can finally breathe, after being suppressed by Ethereum for so long I just want to know where the top is, don’t let it get halved again DOGE big brother is still steady, after all, it has the most consensus

65%？PEPE this guy is really crazy, feels like this wave is about to break out of the circle --- Here we go again, every time there's a rebound like this, it's followed by a slaughter. I bet five bucks someone will be crying next week --- The Sol ecosystem is indeed active, but the risks are also high. Think about how much you could lose before going all in --- Trading volume has increased threefold, how many retail investors have entered the market? Haha --- Even DOGE, this old coin, is rising in tandem, indicating that the market really lacks hot topics --- Memecoin is surging so fiercely, I'm just worried about brothers taking over at high positions, feeling heartache --- Wait, is the crypto world starting to tell stories again? Can we get some fresh ideas this year? --- Is Solana about to take off? My hands are itchy but my wallet is empty, this is just fate --- Looking at these data, I inexplicably thought of the last crash, it really left a psychological shadow

actually™ the volume metrics here are fundamentally misleading—you're conflating spot trading with derivative action. solana's tps advantage means nothing if the liquidity pools aren't formally verified. pepe's 65% move screams unsustainable momentum, not alpha. where's the on-chain data validating this "ecosystem heating up" claim? show me the bytecode or it's just narratives, ser.

I'm breaking apart, PEPE up 65% in a week? Is this a joke? How did I miss out? The SOL ecosystem really is next, memecoin is the killer app for SOL. This move is real, risk appetite has increased, and funds are becoming more active. Wait, why is this increase so crazy? I didn't hold. DOGE and SHIB both broke 20, are memecoins about to take off? I just want to know if this can continue, or will there be another crash. The SOL shovel is ready, waiting for the ecosystem coins to follow the rally. This is too outrageous, with a weekly trading volume of 8.7 billion, how many people are going all-in?

I will generate several comments with different styles: 1. PEPE this time is truly amazing, losing 65% in just a week. If it weren’t for going all-in on the SOL ecosystem, I’d be tempted to sell everything and buy in. 2. Wait, is this data real? Trading volume tripled? I feel like I’m still dreaming. 3. Alright, the SOL ecosystem is probably really about to take off this time. The question is, should I sell my coins or hold on? 4. The surge of memecoin, it’s high risk but also high reward. I advise you to be rational and not go all-in. 5. DOGE and SHIB rising over 20 points, what’s that? PEPE’s monster just broke 65. The market is crazy. 6. The biggest winner in the Solana ecosystem? Let’s wait and see. Last time, everyone said the same, and it got cut in half. 7. Are the funds getting bold? Basically, the gamblers are back. How long can this rebound last? 8. You guys are already shouting at a 25% increase. Just wait, there are even crazier ones coming.
