Meme Coin Daily (Issue 7 · Week 28, 2026)

01Market trends of popular meme tokens

This week, the Meme sector as a whole faced pressure, with most major cryptocurrencies experiencing declines, except for PEPE, which showed relatively better resistance to drops.

As of July 12, 2026, the market sentiment index stood at 54/100 (neutral range), yet significant divergence was observed within the Meme sector. DOGE is trading at $0.07321, with a 7-day decline of -4.6% (reflecting the impact of overall market sentiment), and its 24-hour trading volume reached $416.2M, indicating high liquidity. SHIB is priced at $0.00000429, with a 7-day decline of -2.3%. Although over 109 million tokens were destroyed on-chain in a single day, the price remained under selling pressure due to its massive circulating supply of 585 trillion tokens. PEPE is currently trading at $0.00000272, with a slight 7-day decline of -0.4%, showing relative stability. This stability is largely attributed to a related Whale address purchasing PEPE worth approximately $3.58 million within 24 hours on July 11, 2026, signaling significant capital inflows into this asset. BONK is trading at $0.00000399, with a 7-day decline of -17.7%, making it the most heavily affected major cryptocurrency this week. WIF is priced at $0.1506, with a 7-day decline of -13.8%, while FLOKI is trading at $0.00002281, with a 7-day decline of -3.7%.

• Pay attention to the ongoing support provided by Whale funding flows to resilient coins like PEPE. • Be cautious of further declines in highly volatile coins such as BONK and WIF amid neutral market sentiment.

02Popular On-Chain Pools and New Cryptocurrencies

As of July 12, 2026, on-chain capital flows and developments in emerging ecosystems have become the key factors shaping the Meme sector this week.

Firstly, the first week of Robinhood Chain’s launch triggered significant market reactions. Although the platform primarily promotes the tokenization of stocks, Meme coins saw unexpected surges in value, with CASHCAT experiencing a 1,500% rise in a single day and its market cap exceeding $100 million, making it a focal point on the chain. The TVL of this chain soared to $234 million within a week, with the $50 million worth of stablecoins injected by Ethena, together with the Meme craze, driving its growth.

Secondly, Meme trading activity on the Solana chain has rebounded but comes with high risks. ANSEM saw a weekly price increase of nearly 300%, pushing the weekly trading volume of Pump.fun above $5.3 billion. However, issues such as robot-driven trading and fake matching orders are widespread, with retail investors holding positions for an average of only 100 seconds, indicating a strong atmosphere of short-term speculation.

Lastly, large-scale Whale activities are frequent among mainstream Meme token chains. On July 11, associated Whales purchased approximately $3.58 million worth of PEPE through 11 different addresses within 24 hours, significantly increasing their holdings. Meanwhile, SHIB faced selling pressure; despite over 109 million tokens being burned in a single day, its price still dropped by nearly 9% due to its massive circulating supply of 585 trillion tokens.

03Social popularity and KOL attention

On 2026-07-12, the social engagement in the Meme sector showed a high degree of dispersion, with no single dominant topic. Five key topics tied for the highest popularity score of 1: the release of Strategy products, alternating inflows and outflows of institutional funds into BTC ETFs, progress in MiCA regulation, progress in CLARITY regulation, and the influx of 550,000 bitcoins into exchanges. The overall market sentiment remained neutral, with the AI-related sentiment score reaching 54/100.

There was a significant divergence in the opinions of KOLs. DOGE received bullish ratings from all 2 KOLs, resulting in a 100% bullish proportion. In contrast, BONK faced unanimous bearish ratings from 5 KOLs, giving it a 100% bearish proportion. Topics related to regulation and macro-financial conditions dominated public discourse, indicating that market attention had shifted from competition over individual cryptocurrencies to macro liquidity and compliance expectations.

04Operational Recommendations and Risk Warnings

Trading Recommendations and Risk Warnings (2026-07-12)

Trading Recommendations

• Monitoring PEPE’s On-Chain Activity and Gradual Position Building Data from July 11 shows that associated Whales purchased a total of 1.299 trillion PEPE tokens through 11 addresses. With the current price of PEPE at $0.00000272, there are clear signs of significant on-chain buying. It is recommended to consider building positions in stages over the next 2 weeks, if the PEPE price dips to around $0.00000250 and the 24-hour trading volume remains above $114.6M. This approach can help capitalize on potential price rebounds after the Whales complete their buying.

• Defending Key Support Levels for SHIB and Implementing Stop-Losses Despite the destruction of 117 million SHIB tokens in a single day on July 11, the token’s price of $0.00000429 remains under pressure due to its massive circulating supply of 585 trillion tokens. Given that bears have been targeting the $0.0000010 support level since July 9, it is advisable to closely monitor price movements this week. If SHIB falls below $0.00000400 accompanied by increased trading volume, investors should take defensive measures and consider reducing their holdings to avoid further declines.

• Observing DOGE’s Capital Flow and Making Dynamic Adjustments On July 7, nearly 4 billion DOGE tokens were transferred from Binance to unknown wallets, worth approximately $299 million. The unclear origin of these funds has drawn market attention. The current price of DOGE is $0.07321. It is suggested that if DOGE manages to break above $0.0750 with increased trading volume over the next 2 weeks, and on-chain data shows continuous inflows into exchanges, investors may consider increasing their positions. Conversely, if the price stalls without a clear direction for capital flow, it is better to remain cautious or slightly reduce holdings.

Risk Warnings

• Risk of Severe Market Sentiment Fluctuations The market sentiment index has experienced significant swings recently, dropping by 15.6 points to 36.2 (fearful state) and rising by 36.0 points to 50.1 (neutral state). If the sentiment index shifts rapidly back to extreme fear or greed levels, it could trigger sharp fluctuations in the Meme coin sector. Investors are advised to closely monitor sentiment indicators and avoid making impulsive trades during extreme emotional states.

• Risk of Abnormal Whale Activity Whale activity on the blockchain has surged by 46 points to 60 recently, suggesting possible large-scale capital inflows. If this high level of whale activity persists along with substantial token transfers, it may indicate upcoming major price swings or a shift in market direction. Investors should be vigilant against potential sharp price fluctuations resulting from this trend.

• Risk of a Rapid Shift in KOL Consensus to Bullish The KOL consensus has shifted sharply toward bullishness, with the bullish-bear gap increasing by 85.0 percentage points, putting bulls at 70% currently. If KOL opinions reverse quickly or negative news emerges in the market, it could lead to a sell-off by bulls, causing rapid price drops. Investors should be cautious about the risk of pullbacks resulting from excessive optimism.
