Background

Meme coins have been constantly mentioned this week, and they are the strongest performing track. Recently, KOL Murad gave a speech on the meme coin super cycle at the TOKEN2049 conference, where he believes there are 8 to 14 months of meme frenzy left, and he released a list of meme coins he is bullish on, and he is shilling them aggressively. Among them, the one he is most bullish on is SPX, which had a market cap of only about $10 million when he first bought it, and currently has a market cap of about $750 million, with an unrealized profit of $8.3 million, making him the new god of meme coins.

At the same time, he is also actively "preaching" on Twitter, repeatedly mentioning coins such as SPX, GIGA, PEPE, SIGMA, APU, and POPCAT.

But in fact, even before Murad actively promoted memes, there were many meme coin KOLs frequently shilling. In this article, WOO X Research has compiled the performance of the coins they have shilled since October to explore who is the king of meme shilling.

Murad @MustStopMurad

Shilling style: Loves shilling meme coins with a cult-like style, with SPX being mentioned the most, followed by GIGA and POPCAT. The meme coins recommended by Murad are mostly in the $300M to $1.5B market cap range, with fewer shills on small-cap on-chain memes. Basically, the current price is not far from the historical high, indicating a relatively small retracement of the meme coins.

Ansem @blknoiz06

Introduction: The most famous KOL on Solana, known for shilling SOL at $1.5 and later shilling BONK and WIF, which achieved 80x and 500x gains respectively.

Shilling style:

Ansem not only shills memes, but also includes "legitimate" projects such as ENA, FTM, PRIME, CROWN, HNT, XNET, and CHEX. Recently, he is very bullish on the FTM chain, believing it will be like the early SOL, and is also heavily promoting the meme coins GOGLZ and EQUAL on FTM, which have performed well after his shills, with large upside potential and small retracements.

The meme coins he shills are also mid-to-high market cap, with WIF being mentioned the most, followed by MEW. But his Twitter feed is quite messy, with retweets accounting for 80% of his posts, sometimes dozens per day. He has also reposted Murad's tweets many times, agreeing with his meme philosophy, and claiming to be a member of the Murad Team.

POW @traderpow

Introduction: On-chain Degen player, with a Telegram channel of over 80,000 followers, mainly sending timely Level 1.5 meme coin calls. The following statistics are based on Twitter mentions, not Telegram shills, as the Telegram shilling frequency is high and mostly for low-cap coins. CB, LABUBU, and are projects launched after October, and the gain calculation is based on the closing price on the first day.

Shilling style: Prefers to shill low-cap meme coins, and the aforementioned CB, LABUBU, and have all retraced more than 50% from their highs. Except for MOG, MEW, and SPX, the rest of the coins are more than 40% away from their all-time highs, indicating that POW is better at short-term PVP meme and timely calls, but not so good from a long-term perspective.

POΞ@Poe_Ether

Introduction: Degen, with nearly 200,000 Twitter followers and over 40,000 Telegram channel subscribers. The average Twitter reach is around 15,000.

Shilling style: Shills a lot, mostly mid-to-small cap coins, and the shills are relatively timely. The public chains involved include not only ETH and SOL, but also BASE and SUI. He shills GIGA the most. Among them, SPX, GIGA, BITCOIN, GOAT, HODL, LOCKIN, and KEYCAT have relatively small retracements, while the time-sensitive and DOGE-themed ones perform the worst.

Summary

The four KOLs all mentioned SPX, followed by GIGA, BITCOIN, and MOG, which were mentioned by three of them. A common feature is that they all have a "cult-like attribute".

Worth mentioning is LOCKIN, which was also hyped by the amateur @ctlarp, who has been holding the coin firmly for over 136 days, with a value of over $700,000, and his Twitter page is entirely about this coin, very much in line with the "cult atmosphere".

Returning to the four KOLs in this article, they are all renowned meme players, but their "dog-hunting" styles differ.

Looking at the statistics, Murad is the most stable, POW and POE are good at PVP, and Ansem has gone to FTM to explore new battlefields.

Has the meme super cycle just begun? Let's see what time will tell.
