On November 15, the official Twitter accounts of multiple altcoin projects, including Litecoin, yearn.fi, Manta, TRON DAO, and Renzo, posted on social media joking that "given the current market conditions, I think we are actually a MEME coin project."
At the same time, the leading trading platform Binance has also listed two popular MEME projects, Act I: The AI Prophecy (ACT) and Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT), and their listing performance has been quite good. As a result, many community members have started guessing the next wealth code, and Jinse Finance has sorted out the current MEME coins with grand narratives, community heat, and high market capitalization.

Summary
MEME coins have clearly become the most lucrative track in this crypto cycle, with the market values of DOGE, SHIB, and PEPE already exceeding $10 billion. And the returns brought by many other MEME coins have far exceeded the so-called VC coins, which has also led many blue-chip altcoins to put aside the identity of institutional projects and compare themselves to MEME coins for attention. However, investors still need to be wary of the inherent risks of MEME coins, as their high volatility and lack of real value are the biggest pain points behind their high returns.
