**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.
BTC-0.95%
MEME-0.64%
ETH1.12%
PEPE-4.49%

honestly pepe breaking shib's all-time high sounds spicy... but like, can we actually verify the supply chain integrity here? ngl the tokenomics recipe feels a bit half-baked without proper proof-of-freshness mechanisms on these meme projects

Oh wow, this wave of memes is really crazy. Does PEPE have a chance to surpass SHIB? I find it hard to believe. --- The SOL chain is back up again. Can BONK hold this time, or will it have to cut losses again? --- I haven't heard of those coins on BSC. Feels like a playground for bagholders. --- Any new variables in the second half of the year? I want to see if there will be another wave of sharp declines for a good buy-in. --- ETH ecosystem Meme coins are flying all over. It's really competitive, brother. Feels like this market cycle is a bit risky. --- Be careful with that short squeeze trend of IP. Once unlocked, it could go to zero directly. --- The 130 million incentive plan—just hearing that number sounds crazy. Can it really spark a hot topic? --- If the US stock market continues to fluctuate, the crypto market won't be able to escape either. --- If BN truly gets official support for Chinese Meme coins, BSC will take off, right? --- If Bitcoin keeps rising, others will follow, but when will this Meme hype cool down?

It's meme season again. Is PEPE really going to surpass SHIB this time? It feels a bit uncertain. The hype around SOL is really intense. BONK is taking off directly, and the 130 million incentive plan is no joke. The projects on BSC are rushing to follow suit, but I always feel like they might crash someday. The short squeeze play with IP is getting a bit tiring to watch, and delaying unlocks is just a routine move.

This meme is really unbearable now. Full-chain blooming, it feels like we're back to that crazy atmosphere from last year.

This wave of meme really can't hold up anymore, every ecosystem is competing fiercely, and it feels like it's getting harder to distinguish good projects from trash coins. PEPE surpassing SHIB? If that really happens, I need to reflect on my coin selection ability. With so many projects taking off on SOL, I'm just worried that next month will be a mess again. This short squeeze on IP is a bit intense, is the delay in unlocking a gamble on market amnesia? ETH and SOL flying together is the right posture, BSC is still copying and pasting, which is a bit awkward. Will the uncertainties in the second half of the year wipe out a bunch of people? The pressure from the US stock market is giving me some mental stress.
