WEEX Labs: The Next Script for Memecoins, The Era of Flash Trends

Resumen

WEEX Labs: The Next Act of Memecoin—The Era of Flash Trends Despite a cooling market, memecoins remain a key arena for attention-based economic games. The memecoin landscape has evolved significantly in 2025, shifting from the earlier dominance of large-cap tokens like DOGE and SHIB to smaller, faster-cycling assets. Key shifts include a migration beyond Solana to chains like Base and BNB Chain, where Solana’s share of new token launches has dropped from 90% to 57%. Memecoin market caps are shrinking, with mid-to-small cap tokens such as BRETT and TOSHI becoming more common. Market cycles have accelerated from weeks to hours, driven by AI tools and social media algorithms that speed up both hype and fade-out. Recent trending memecoins illustrate these changes: - $Franklin (FDV peak: $24M), inspired by a politicized meme. - $DOYR (FDV peak: $31M), born from a typo and community reaction. - Horse Success (FDV peak: $5M), a Chinese-language meme. - $jesse (FDV peak: $28M), created by Base co-founder Jesse Pollak. Memecoins are maturing from internet jokes into cultural indicators. While established tokens like BONK are building utility, new tokens are increasingly driven by social momentum and data. This structural shift offers more opportunities but demands deeper research (DYOR) amid higher risks. In the flash trend era, memecoins reflect real-time social sentiment—volatile, fast, and ever-evolving.

Against a backdrop of a somewhat fatigued market, Memecoins, though no longer frenzied, remain a battleground in the attention economy.

Memecoins Haven't Reached the End, They've Just Changed Direction

Compared to the scene in 2024 where Memecoins stole the show, this year's Memecoin activity has indeed quieted down significantly after $TRUMP, but this is not the end; rather, the market has evolved to the next stage.

• From Solana to Base, BNB Chain: Initially, Solana monopolized 90% of new token issuance with its low fees and high speed, especially with the launch of Pump.fun, which significantly decentralized token issuance rights and spurred a full year of Meme mania in 2024. However, with multi-chain expansion and the continuous efforts of other public chains, Solana's share has now dropped to 57%, with BNB Chain, Base Chain, and others continually grabbing on-chain market share.

• Small to Medium-Sized Memes Become Mainstream: The Memecoin market narrative has shifted from being dominated by Ethereum chain tokens like DOGE, SHIB, PEPE with billion-dollar market caps, to Solana chain spawning large Memecoins with multi-billion dollar market caps like BONK, WIF, FARTCOIN, TRUMP, and now to small and medium-cap Memecoins with million-dollar market caps emerging on various chains, such as BRETT and TOSHI on Base chain, and Binance Life, BROCCOLI on BNB Chain. This indicates the market cap ceiling for Memecoins is continuously lowering, and the market is maturing.

• Accelerated Rotation Rhythm: With limited liquidity growth and an accelerating trend in the number of Memecoins, the market rotation rhythm has shifted from "weeks" to "hours." Particularly thanks to the proliferation of AI tools and upgrades in social media algorithms, the speed of viral spread and decay has increased dramatically. This results in a large number of new coins reaching their peak within just 24-48 hours of launch, with a lifecycle far shorter than the previous weekly cycles.

Recent Hot Memecoins: Social Media Hype + Small to Medium Market Cap

Browsing recent hot Memecoins undoubtedly confirms the above changes.

$Franklin: Franklin The Turtle was originally a classic children's character from a series of books and TV shows in Canada in the 1980s and 90s. The current U.S. Secretary of Defense recently posted a politically satirical image on X, expressing a tough stance on U.S. cross-border military anti-drug operations. Subsequently, the同名 Memecoin portrayed Franklin the Turtle as a satirical, militarized anti-drug warrior. The coin launched on December 1st, reached a peak FDV of $24.36M by the 10th, and has currently retraced to $5.4M.

$DOYR: The起因 was DYOR being misspelled as DOYR. Then, spurred by a reply post saying "DOYR = DO YouR meme?", the BNB Chain community quickly launched a同名 Memecoin. The coin launched on December 6th, reached a peak FDV of $31.34M the next day, and has currently retraced to $3.4M.

$马到成功 (Horse Success): Originating from the Chinese blessing phrase "马到成功" (meaning immediate success) leveraged by the community, it is a popular Chinese Memecoin following others like "Binance Life" and "Vulgar Penguin". The coin launched on November 15th, reached a peak FDV of $5.03M on December 2nd, and has currently retraced to $2.6M.

$jesse: A personal Memecoin issued by Base co-founder Jesse in November. The coin launched on November 21st, reached a peak FDV of $28.08M on the same day, and has currently retraced to $10M.

Opportunities in the Structural Changes of Memecoins

Starting from DOGE's dog meme to today's complex ecosystem where any topic can become a coin, Memecoins are no longer just simple internet jokes but a perfect fusion of community narrative, attention propagation, and speculative frenzy.

This year's Memecoin market has been as thrilling as a roller coaster: accelerated rotation, smaller scale, multi-chain expansion—all marking a transition from狂欢 (carnival) to maturity.

It is foreseeable that, regardless of bull or bear markets, the Memecoin market will not fall silent, because wherever there is attention, someone will go all-in on a dog picture to spread emotion.

However, in the era of flash trends, Memecoins are beginning to transform from "jokes" into "cultural indices." For example, older tokens like DOGE, SHIB, and BONK are shedding their religious constraints, continuously undergoing technical upgrades, and applications are empowering the Meme. Meanwhile, more newly produced small and medium Memecoins are turning to "social media heat + data-driven," which carries higher risks but offers more refined opportunities. The rises and falls of these Memecoins also represent the热度变迁 (heat变迁 - heat changes/evolution) of certain social topics.

No matter how you look at it, this structural change will reshape investment logic, bringing more opportunities for participants while also demanding more DYOR.

$292 Million KelpDAO Cross-Chain Bridge Hack: Who Should Foot the Bill?

On April 18, 2026, an attacker stole 116,500 rsETH (worth ~$292M) from KelpDAO’s cross-chain bridge in 46 minutes—the largest DeFi exploit of 2026. The stolen assets were deposited into Aave V3 as collateral, causing $177–200M in bad debt and triggering a cascade of losses across nine DeFi protocols. Aave’s TVL dropped by ~$6B overnight. This legal analysis argues that KelpDAO and LayerZero Labs share concurrent liability, with fault apportioned 60%/40%. KelpDAO negligently configured its bridge with a 1-of-1 decentralized verifier network (DVN)—a single point of failure—despite LayerZero’s explicit recommendation of a 2-of-3 setup. LayerZero, which operated the compromised DVN, failed to secure its RPC infrastructure against a known poisoning attack vector. Both protocols’ terms of service cap liability at $200 (KelpDAO) or $50 (LayerZero), but these limits are likely unenforceable due to unconscionability, gross negligence exceptions, and potential securities law invalidation (if rsETH is deemed a security under the Howey test). Aave’s governance also faces fiduciary duty claims for raising rsETH’s loan-to-value ratio to 93%—far above competitors’ 72–75%—without adequately assessing bridge risks, amplifying the systemic fallout. Practical recovery targets include LayerZero Labs (a registered Canadian entity), KelpDAO’s founders, auditors, and identifiable Aave governance delegates. The incident underscores escalating legal risks for DeFi protocols, infrastructure providers, and governance participants.

Insider Trading in War: 5 People Involved, the Highest Earner Was Arrested

On April 24, the U.S. Department of Justice arrested U.S. Army Special Forces Staff Sergeant Gannon Ken Van Dyke for insider trading related to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on January 3. Van Dyke allegedly profited over $400,000 by placing bets on a prediction market, Polymarket, using insider knowledge of the covert operation. According to the indictment, Van Dyke registered an account (0x31a5) on December 26 and made a series of bets predicting Maduro’s capture and U.S. military involvement in Venezuela. He withdrew most of his funds on the day of the operation and attempted to obscure his tracks by transferring assets through crypto and brokerage accounts. This case marks the first time the DOJ has prosecuted insider trading on Polymarket. PolyBeats had previously identified five suspicious accounts, including Van Dyke’s—the highest earner—in January. The other accounts, with profits ranging from $34,000 to $145,000, remain under unofficial scrutiny but have not been charged. Their lower profits, indirect access to information, and unclear legal boundaries may complicate prosecution. Polymarket has since strengthened its market integrity rules, explicitly prohibiting trading based on confidential or insider information. Van Dyke’s arrest, nearly four months after his trades, signals increased regulatory attention and the persistent traceability of blockchain-based transactions.

Bitcoin HODLing Intensifies: LTH Supply Jumps 303,000 BTC

Bitcoin long-term holders (LTHs), defined as investors holding coins for over 155 days, have significantly increased their supply by 303,500 BTC over the past month, indicating a shift toward HODLing behavior. This contrasts with the net distribution observed in late 2025. Meanwhile, short-term holders and spot ETFs have seen reduced supply. However, the recent price rally to around $77,600 is primarily driven by futures market demand, not spot buying—a pattern to January's short-lived surge. Analysts warn of potential corrections if profit-taking occurs amid weak spot demand.

Bitwise: Bullish on Bitcoin's Performance in the Second Half of the Year, AI and Regulation Will Spark a New Altcoin Season

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan and Research Lead Ryan Rasmussen express strong bullish sentiment on Bitcoin's long-term prospects, suggesting that its $1 million price target may be too conservative. They argue Bitcoin serves a dual role: as digital gold and a potential global settlement asset, especially amid declining trust in traditional monetary systems. Despite a weak Q1 2026 where nearly all crypto assets and prices saw double-digit declines, the analysts remain optimistic due to strong forward-looking catalysts, including institutional adoption via Bitcoin ETFs from major firms like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs. Geopolitical instability, such as Iran’s mention of using Bitcoin for international payments, increases the value of Bitcoin’s “out-of-the-money call option” as a non-political, global settlement currency. This enhances its appeal beyond a mere store of value. . Additionally, Hougan highlights that a clearer regulatory token framework under current SEC leadership, combined with AI efficiency gains and high-performance blockchains, could fuel a new “altseason” by late 2026. This may lead to a wave of legitimate, value-capturing token projects, unlike the earlier ICO boom. . Bitwise also announced an Avalanche ETF, citing its unique architecture and rapid growth in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, which has surged 10x to nearly $30 billion in two years. The firm believes Layer 1 blockchains are still early in their growth cycle, with significant potential ahead.

Bitcoin Rally To Near $80K Fuels Sharp Sentiment Rebound Across Crypto Markets

Bitcoin's recent rally towards $80,000 has driven a significant rebound in crypto market sentiment, with the Fear & Greed Index jumping 14 points to 46—its highest level since January. Analysts note that over 300,000 BTC have shifted from short-term to long-term holders in the past month, signaling stronger investor conviction. However, the rally appears largely driven by perpetual futures speculation rather than spot market demand, raising concerns about sustainability. Retail participation also remains subdued, limiting further sentiment gains. While entities like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) continue accumulating BTC, weak spot interest could lead to a price correction if profit-taking occurs.
