**Market Overview**
In the first week of 2025, Bitcoin's strong rally drove a rebound across the entire market. Altcoins generally performed well, and during this major rebound in the bear market, the main hot topics in the market have clearly shifted to the Meme sector. Due to fluctuations in the US stock market and overseas geopolitical tensions, US stocks may face pressure in the future, and market expectations suggest that new variables could emerge in the second half of the year.
**Meme Coins Are Heating Up Across the Board**
The Meme coins within the ETH ecosystem are performing the best—PEPE, NEIRO, FLOKI, BRETT, and others are all surging, and the ETH/BTC exchange rate is strengthening accordingly. Among them, PEPE has been positioned as the overall market leader, with some analysts believing its market cap could surpass the historical high of SHIB.
The on-chain activity on the SOL chain is also very hot. Projects like BONK, BOME, PENGU, USELESS, PONKE are experiencing strong upward momentum, and the ecosystem's heat continues to build. Especially the collaboration between BONK and the stablecoin USD1 is pushing forward the Meme launch platform development. The $130 million incentive plan launched by project team WLFI may reignite on-chain hotspots.
The BSC ecosystem is also not to be outdone, with projects like 714, 4, and HAKIMI rallying. The market is watching whether BSC will officially support Chinese community Meme coins.
**Whale Stock Movements**
Projects such as MYX and IP are showing obvious short squeeze patterns. The IP project may face delays in unlocking, and in the short term, it may continue to maintain its hot status.
