Names have never been a simple matter in the crypto world.
They’re not just codes—they’re more like flags, representing your community identity, sense of cultural belonging, and even hinting at your perspective on the future.
A “cultural event” sparked by a naming campaign
On October 20, the official X account of a certain public blockchain retweeted a message, officially confirming its Chinese name—索拉拉 (Solala). At first glance, it might seem like just a localization move, but in the context of the current global crypto wave fueled by Chinese culture, this is a big deal.
How did this name come about? It was suggested by X user @muper (also known as @easytopredict) during a naming campaign organized by Trends.fun founder Mable. His explanation is quite interesting: “索拉拉” symbolizes the spirit of the developers on this chain who are constantly building and brimming with creativity.

The 294-Day Lifespan of a Political Meme Experiment
Do you remember the photo of Musk holding a chainsaw? That "chainsaw prepared for bureaucracy," along with the government department named after the Dogecoin ticker, quietly disappeared after less than a year of hype.
Recently, U.S. Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Cooper publicly admitted for the first time: "It no longer exists." He was referring to the Department of Government Efficiency—DOGE—established on Trump's first day in office. From its inception to dissolution, 294 days. This number is all too familiar in the crypto community, reminiscent of those fleeting meme coin projects.
When the Shiba Inu Logo Entered the White House
On January 20, 2025, Trump was sworn into office. Among the executive orders signed that day, there was a name that made crypto enthusiasts smile: DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency). That's right, the same as the Dogecoin ticker.
Musk really pulled a masterstroke. The official website...

Speaking of BSC, you might remember its "public blockchain for the masses" label—cheap gas fees, fast block times, suitable for retail investors.
But now? The whole vibe has changed.
This chain is becoming a cultivation wonderland for memes. The classic tokens like $PEPE, $DOGE, and $BONK are still around, but what's even crazier are the new "cultivation," "alchemy," and "spirit pet" types that have turned coin trading into a cultivation novel.
You’re not an investor. You’re a cultivator. Tokens aren’t chips; they’re spiritual roots.
Why has BSC become the main stage for cultivation memes?
It’s simple—the environment is just right.
First, the costs are ridiculously low.
Minting a coin costs just a few cents, so the cost of trial and error is basically zero. Want to "lay your foundation"? Try it out on BSC first—even if you lose, it doesn't hurt. This is exactly what a beginner village should be like.
Second, the community is wild enough.
BSC users are naturally drawn to hype—memes, airdrops, and interactions, they don't miss a thing. The cultivation meme trend on BSC...

Recently, everyone is talking about the Meme coin PING on the x402 protocol, saying it closely resembles the BTC inscription craze of 2023. Where exactly is the similarity? Will it walk down the same path as the inscription market?
To put it directly: Yes, it will. Let's look at the specifics.
Why say it's similar? The key is two words: rules.
First, let's look at how inscriptions are played. You send a transaction to the BTC mainnet, occupying a certain UTXO, but BTC itself actually can't determine which transaction counts — what really matters is the Ordinals protocol, this indexer. It acts as a third-party referee, scanning all transactions on the chain and judging who the true inscription is according to its own "First is First" rule.
What about PING? The formula is almost the same. You transfer USDC to a specified address on the Base chain (this address is dynamically provided by x402scan), which is equivalent to sending a "payment request". But B

In the deep night of May 2021, when Dogecoin surged into the top ten of the crypto assets market capitalization, the entire crypto world exploded.
A "joke coin" with a Shiba Inu avatar, born in 2013, what justifies its value of several hundred billion dollars? Technical breakthroughs? Team background? None of that. The answer actually lies in the memes we scroll through every day, hidden in the barrage of "To the Moon" comments, and even more so in the cultural identity formed spontaneously by millions of coin holders.
Today, let's break it down and discuss why the value logic of Meme Coins is completely different from what you might imagine.
From parody to wealth, a Shiba Inu's rise to success
The story begins in 2013. Two programmers, Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, were bored and decided to poke fun at the crazy speculation frenzy surrounding Crypto Assets at that time. They casually picked the most popular thing online.

The "Binance Life" contract launched by a leading exchange has greatly boosted market confidence, especially for memes investors, which is a favourable information. Although memes are often seen as gambling, research still has its value; by observing market sentiment and exchange dynamics, investment success rates can be improved. The author remains optimistic about the long-term potential of Binance Life, believing that short-term fluctuations are market behavior, and maintains confidence.

Meme Coin: From an Inside Joke to a $50 Billion Speculation Battlefield
Once just a meme coin for community jokes, it has now become an undeniable force in the crypto market. They not only influence the flow of funds but also stir up emotional storms on social media, even becoming branding tools for political figures.
Brands use it for marketing interaction, and hedge funds have also started to test the waters with small positions in these highly volatile varieties. The gameplay in this track has long surpassed most people's imagination.
The market is rapidly expanding, but it is also accelerating the reshuffle.
In 2024, the capital scale of the entire Meme coin sector soared by over 500%, which directly led to a massive influx of speculative funds from mainstream coins into various altcoin Meme coins at the beginning of 2025. At the same time, the U.S. SEC officially designated many Meme coins as "collectibles" rather than "securities" in 2025, which means that the regulatory protection available to investors has decreased.

Some people treat Cryptocurrency Trading like throwing dice in a casino, while others see it as a check that will be cashed in ten years.
Recently, I talked about a person - Karnika E. Yashwant, known in the industry as Mr. KEY. He dropped out of school at 14 and now manages several Web3 companies with over 150 people in Dubai, holding a consultant position for a bunch of projects.
What’s the most magical thing about him? He has never bought meme coins.
It's not that I missed it, it's that I just have no interest at all.
What does he think of this market?
The last time we met, he threw out a sentence: "When I buy, I don't look at tomorrow's ups and downs, I only care about how much it will be worth in ten years."
It sounds pretty pretentious, but he really did it that way.
"I bought Ethereum when it was 100 dollars, and I also bought when it was 3500 dollars. I didn't even blink when it dropped below 1000 dollars. Why? I think Ethereum has always been undervalued. Bitcoin, in my eyes, is a million-level asset; it's just that the price hasn't reached that yet."

The Meme coin market is being restructured on the BSC platform. BSC attracts speculators with low fees and high volume, and the support from exchanges enhances the credibility of the projects. Although it still faces cyclical challenges, technological iterations and community operations are gradually maturing its ecosystem, which may eventually translate into more enduring application scenarios.

When retail investors start writing scripts
During the National Day holiday, the A-shares market is closed, and retail investors are taking photos and posting on social media at tourist attractions. Meanwhile, a magical realism drama is unfolding in the crypto world.
In the ecosystem of a leading exchange, several Meme coins with names that sound like jokes—Meme4, PALU, and one called "XX Life"—have increased in market value by dozens of times in just a few days. Early players easily made over a million dollars in paper profits, and the Chinese-speaking community exploded; it was as if the big names on Twitter had discovered a new world.
However, the good times didn't last.
Starting from October 9, these tokens have been in free fall like a roller coaster. Some individual currencies plummeted 95% in a single day, with over 100,000 traders being liquidated, totaling an astonishing $621 million. The myth of becoming rich overnight instantly turned into a blood and tears complaint conference for retail investors.
This scene feels familiar.
