X Supports Memes, Is the Meme Season Really Coming?

Özet

X has introduced a new "Custom Timeline" feature, allowing Premium users on iOS to pin specific topics—including a dedicated "meme" category—to their main tab. The meme section, represented by a Flork logo, sparked a 17x price surge for the Ethereum-based meme token FLORK. Meme content is crucial for X: 66% of all content with over 100k impressions in 2026 were meme-based, and such content drives significant engagement, especially among users aged 18–34. Memes also influence politics and brand marketing, as seen in Trump’s 2024 campaign and KitKat’s viral response to a theft incident. While the new feature includes a "Cryptocurrency" category, the meme section is designed primarily for high-quality meme content rather than directly promoting meme coins. However, meme coin accounts that focus on organic, engaging content—without explicitly pushing token tickers—may benefit from increased visibility and user conversion through this dedicated timeline.

On April 22, X Product Lead and Solana Advisor Nikita Bier announced a new X feature called "Custom Timeline" this morning. This feature allows users to pin specific topics to their main homepage tab and supports over 75 interest topics, helping users delve into niche content areas. In its promotional video, the meme topic section features a Flork image as its logo.

Currently, X Premium members using the iOS client can already add this custom timeline:

Since the meme topic section uses a Flork image as its logo, the Ethereum ecosystem's meme coin of the same name surged by 17 times in half a day. According to GMGN market data, FLORK's market cap is now reported at $8.4 million.

The timing of this meme-heavy feature coincides with the hype around "Space Dog" Asteroid, which has sparked a meme coin frenzy on the Ethereum mainnet. Combined with the earlier Cashtag feature, which allows users to directly check stock and crypto asset data in their timeline, players' sentiment is becoming optimistic again:

This time, will there really be a meme season?

To answer this question, we need to take a comprehensive look at why X is launching this feature.

Memes Are Important to X

According to data from Amra & Elma, in 2026, with X's brand overhaul and comprehensive algorithm reforms, meme-based posts now account for 66% of all content with over 100,000 impressions. Among them, memes on political and cultural topics spread the fastest, with each viral post being shared an average of 4,200 times. Meme content holds a significant position on X, with about 60% of viral tweets being meme-based.

In fact, memes are important not just for X but for all social media platforms. According to a Forms.app 2025 report, over one million memes are shared daily on Instagram alone. A report from MemE Gen AI states that 70% of TikTok users actively engage with meme-like videos.

Memes appear and spread across various social media platforms and chat apps, becoming an integral part of contemporary life, especially for young people. They serve as daily entertainment while also conveying emotions, culture, and even fashion.

Whoever stands at the top of the meme dissemination chain wins the favor of the youth. According to a meme-gen.ai report, most meme users are between the ages of 18 and 34, accounting for about 65% of all meme viewers.

In March of this year, X Product Lead Nikita Bier criticized the act of spreading misinformation in a tweet that misrepresented gaming videos as war footage, also highlighting his emphasis on meme content:

"Stop posting gaming videos pretending they're war footage. All our GPUs are being used to detect and flag these fake videos, GPUs that could otherwise be used to show more interesting memes on the timeline."

Memes can influence politics. When Trump survived an assassination attempt during a 2024 campaign rally, the image of him bloodied but raising a fist and shouting "Fight!" instantly became the hottest meme on X. Supporters used it to symbolize "resilience," greatly reinforcing Trump's "fighter" image, quickly boosting his poll numbers, and making it a core visual symbol of his 2024 campaign.

Memes are one of the trendiest and most effective ways to do brand promotion. In late March 2026, a truck transporting about 12 tons (413,793 bars) of limited-edition F1 KitKat chocolates from Italy to Poland went missing after being stolen.

Unexpectedly, this incident became one of the hottest memes on X at the time, with a flood of meme creations "searching for the culprit." For example, the tweet below received over 137,000 likes and 13,000 retweets.

Other brands also joined the "KitKat Heist" with meme-style cross-brand interactions. For instance, Domino's UK X account jokingly announced they would start selling KitKat pizza, a tweet that garnered 226,000 likes and 19,000 retweets.

KitKat's official X account also seized the moment by launching a "Stolen KitKat Barcode Tracker," allowing users to scan their chocolate bars to check if they were from the stolen batch, turning a unfortunate theft into an interactive marketing campaign.

Memes are important, but what about meme coins? Is this good news for them?

Good News for Meme Coins?

First, the newly updated custom timeline feature on X actually includes a direct "Cryptocurrency" category.

This means that the meme category is not directly related to meme coins but is more inclined to show users high-quality meme content to retain them.

After all, we are all now accustomed to the quick browsing mode where we swipe to see the next piece of content, and X previously wasn't intuitive enough in this regard. Users typically had to rely on searches to browse content they were interested in and build their feed. If they had specific browsing preferences, the search bar only offered three broad choices: trending, news, and sports.

Now, by moving this feature directly to the timeline, it means that as soon as users log in, the content they see is immediately centered around their interests, and it's more detailed—for example, if you're just a basketball fan, you no longer need to sift through irrelevant football, baseball, etc., tweets in the broad "sports" section.

So, will the meme timeline not benefit meme coins at all? Not exactly; it will still provide some benefits.

This will particularly benefit meme accounts that are skilled at creating meme images/videos and have been operating long-term. On my meme timeline, tweets from meme coins like wojak/joe/neet have appeared:

However, the commonality of these accounts is that they almost never directly mention their token tickers in their tweets. Instead, they focus on consistently producing high-quality meme content to attract views and followers, ultimately converting them.

For this type of token, the emergence of the meme category timeline will provide a more direct traffic entry point, potentially increasing the viewer/holder conversion rate.

When LPs Teach Me Investment with Doubao: A Self-Narrative of a Private Equity GP Switching Careers

When LPs Use Doubao to Teach Investing: A Transition Story of a Private Equity GP AI is making life increasingly difficult for small private equity fund managers, as a former GP of an offshore dollar fund reveals. The fund, managing tens of millions in US stocks, outperformed the Nasdaq but struggled with fundraising. Its traditional Cayman SPC/BVI structure failed to attract major Asian LPs, who now prefer Hong Kong LPF or Singapore VCC frameworks. The rise of AI-powered quantitative strategies has further squeezed the space for funds like his, which relied on subjective, discretionary investing. AI tools have leveled the information playing field, empowering LPs—often high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, or family offices—to analyze investments themselves using chatbots like Doubao. This has eroded trust in GPs' expertise, leading to more frequent challenges over investment decisions and even withdrawals, especially during market rallies when retail investors sometimes outperform funds. Friction arises not necessarily from AI's capabilities but from how LPs use it. Many rely on conversational AI for validation rather than rigorous analysis, sometimes receiving misleading or hallucinated advice. While AI democratizes research, effective investing still requires discerning real insight from plausible-sounding output. Ultimately, AI is unlikely to fully replace GPs. Asset management remains a trust-based service. However, the industry must adapt. The future may see "human私募" (private equity) learning from AI and focusing more on providing value beyond pure analysis—perhaps by mastering the emotional intelligence and trust-building that machines cannot replicate.

Wang Chuan: After Investing in Storage Stocks and Seeing a Thirty-Fold Return, How to Remain Unanxious (Part 7) - A Quarter-Century Cycle

Wang Chuan: Reflections on Investment Anxiety and Market Cycles After Observing a 30x Gain in a Storage Stock (Part 7) – A Quarter-Century Cycle This article examines the cyclical nature and inherent risks in technology hardware investments, using the storage and semiconductor sectors as examples. It criticizes the misleading practice of "annualized" Net Dollar Retention (NDR) rates, where short-term growth is extrapolated unrealistically. A key concept explored is "reflexivity" – demand driven by panic, exploration, and liquidity during market booms, which can vanish just as quickly when conditions reverse. This reflexivity exists both in product demand and among speculative stock buyers, creating powerful feedback loops that inflate prices during upturns and exacerbate crashes during downturns. The author highlights a major risk for hardware sectors: unlike assets with defined cycles (e.g., Bitcoin's halving), there's no guarantee of a swift recovery post-crash. Companies like Micron, Intel, and Cisco took roughly a quarter-century to surpass their 2000 highs, enduring drawdowns exceeding 80%. This is attributed to the "bullwhip effect" in supply chains, where demand collapses instantly but过剩产能 persists, and a migration of narrative-driven capital. High-valuation stories吸引 speculative funds during growth phases, but these funds quickly depart for the next hot narrative once growth slows, leaving behind stronger companies with much lower valuations. The piece warns of dangerous mental models formed during bull markets: 1) equating current strong demand with perpetual high growth, and 2) believing that making fast, large profits is easy. Citing巴菲特, the author notes that easy money undermines rationality, likening speculators to Cinderella at a ball with a clock that has no hands. The current phase presents an asymmetric risk-reward scenario: potential for further gains exists, but the downside risk is an 80%+ drawdown and a multi-decade wait for breakeven, which reflexive speculators cannot tolerate. The hypothetical investor "老王" (Lao Wang), who achieved a 30x return, is used to illustrate potential pitfalls. Leverage could lead to a wipeout during a sharp correction. Even without leverage, ingrained beliefs in easy money would likely lead him to double down after losses, expecting a quick rebound. Instead, he might face a protracted decline, depleting his resources through frantic trading as the high-growth narrative fades. The conclusion references Schopenhauer, comparing those who have seen multiple market cycles to an audience seeing the same magic trick repeatedly—once the illusion is understood, its power is gone.

US Stocks Too Expensive? This Top CIO Scoured the Globe and Found 5 Stocks More Attractive Than NVIDIA

Summary: Main Street Research CIO James Demmert maintains his bullish 8,100 target for the S&P 500 but argues that greater opportunities now lie overseas. He identifies five international stocks with superior valuations poised to benefit from the AI revolution, suggesting international markets will outperform the US for years. Key Recommendations: 1. **ASML (Netherlands):** A foundational chip manufacturing technology provider, offering crucial AI exposure and geographic diversification. Demmert's top long-term pick. 2. **HSBC (UK/Asia):** A global bank with a 9x P/E ratio, better growth prospects than US peers like JPMorgan, and strong Asian presence. 3. **Siemens Energy (Germany):** A direct play on global power grid expansion driven by AI, crypto, and EV electricity demand. 4. **BHP Group (Australia):** A "hidden AI play" and "second derivative" of the trend due to massive copper demand for data centers. Trades at a 16x P/E. 5. **AstraZeneca (UK):** An undervalued healthcare stock with a strong pipeline (18x P/E, >20% growth), expected to benefit from AI's impact on medicine. Core Thesis: International outperformance is driven by both attractive valuations and a major policy shift. While the US tightens fiscal policy, Europe and Japan are launching unprecedented stimulus, reigniting growth. Demmert recommends allocating 45% of a portfolio internationally, citing excessive US investor conservatism as a key mistake.

a16z Partner: Three Paths for Crypto Projects to Find PMF

Author: Jason Rosenthal. Compiler: Shenchao TechFlow. Finding Product-Market Fit (PMF) is the most critical variable for a company's survival. In the crypto space, misaligned growth hacking and airdrops often mask the absence of true PMF. However, leading teams are now finding PMF faster. Here are three proven paths for crypto projects to achieve PMF: 1. **Co-build with Anchor Clients:** Partner with the most sophisticated potential clients in your field and develop the product based on their specific needs. Their adoption serves as the strongest validation, more valuable than media coverage or TVL metrics. This approach is shaping current product roadmaps, as seen in collaborations between crypto startups and traditional finance. 2. **Position Ahead of an Exponential Curve:** Identify and position yourself ahead of a major emerging trend before the market fully realizes it. The most evident current curve is the rise of AI Agents as autonomous economic actors. Projects like AgentCash by Merit Systems, which enables AI Agents to pay for API access with crypto, are building foundational payment rails for the impending Agent economy. 3. **Be Your Own First and Best Customer:** The most enduring infrastructure companies don't wait for external validation. They first build and prove their technology by using it to power their own applications at scale before offering it to others. Matter Labs exemplifies this by anchoring its ZKsync technology in a concrete application, Cari Network, which enables U.S. regional banks to conduct real-time, on-chain interbank transfers of tokenized deposits. The underlying logic is consistent: the fastest path to PMF involves choosing the right battlefield and executing with conviction—by co-building with clients whose validation compounds, positioning ahead of the curve before consensus forms, or becoming your own best case study.

Ek Bağlam: Meme Coinlerinin Önemi Meme coinler, kabaca mizah ve ticarete yönelik hafif bir yaklaşım tarafından yönlendirilen belirgin bir kripto para sınıfı olarak ortaya çıkmıştır.

Daha geniş kripto ekosisteminde, meme coinler topluluk katılımının önemini yeniden canlandırırken, yalnızca kar odaklı yaklaşımlara karşı bir duruş sergiliyor.
