Meme Coin Daily (Issue 13 · Week 29, 2026)

01Market trends of popular meme tokens

This week, the Meme sector showed significant divergence. PEPE led the gains driven by funds from large Whale investors, while mainstream coins like DOGE and SHIB remained relatively stable.

As of July 15, 2026, the market sentiment index stood at 55/100 (neutral), with substantial differences in capital flows within the Meme sector. PEPE performed the best, trading at $0.00000279 with a 7-day increase of +8.0% (indicating concentrated inflow of funds). Its 24-hour trading volume reached $201.6M, reflecting ample liquidity. This trend aligns well with activities among large Whale investors on the blockchain—on July 11, 11 related addresses purchased PEPE worth approximately $3.58 million within 24 hours, raising their holdings to 129.9 trillion tokens, signaling that large amounts of capital are being accumulated.

In contrast, established Meme coins showed moderate performance. DOGE was trading at $0.074, with a slight 7-day rise of +2.1%, and a 24-hour trading volume of $575.8M (maintaining high liquidity but lacking explosive momentum). SHIB traded at $0.00000424, experiencing a slight 7-day decline of -0.6%. Although $250,000 worth of SHIB was seized by the U.S. government on July 15 to repay FTX creditors, it did not trigger severe selling pressure, demonstrating strong market resilience.

Emerging Meme coins and those in the Solana ecosystem generally faced pressure. BONK was trading at $0.00000371, down -7.6% over 7 days; WIF was at $0.1533, down -2.4%; and FLOKI was at $0.00002225, with a slight -0.2% decline. Despite the surge in Meme coin popularity triggered by the launch of Robinhood Chain between July 9 and 10, with tokens like CASHCAT soaring by 1,500%, funds flowed more toward specific assets on new chains rather than providing broad support to mainstream Meme coins, instead exacerbating the divergence among existing coins.

• Key focus areas for next week: • Future moves in PEPE held by large Whales and whether they can break through key resistance levels • Whether the enthusiasm for new blockchains (such as Robinhood Chain) will spill over to mainstream Meme coins

02Popular On-Chain Pools and New Cryptocurrencies

As of July 15, 2026, the on-chain Meme ecosystem is characterized by a simultaneous emergence of new blockchain projects and ongoing regulatory struggles. In its first week after launch, Robinhood Chain saw its Total Value Locked surge to $234 million, with Ethena injecting $50 million in stablecoins. The Meme coin CASHCAT experienced a 1,500% price jump, becoming the actual driving force behind traffic on this network, while Uniswap’s trading volume ranked sixth among all chains. On the Solana network, ANSEM saw a weekly increase of nearly 300%, pushing Pump.fun’s weekly trading volume past $5.3 billion. However, due to robot-driven market manipulation, retail investors held their positions for an average of only 100 seconds, highlighting the strong speculative nature of these assets. In terms of infrastructure, the Meme platform Bags launched its token issuance functionality on Robinhood Chain on July 12, supporting the Bonding Curve mechanism and automatic migration to Uniswap v4. Regarding regulation, Changpeng Zhao responded on July 13 by explaining that popular Meme coins on BSC were classified under the “black hole” category as part of tests to simplify wallet displays. Meanwhile, the U.S. government transferred $250,000 worth of SHIB on July 15 intended to repay creditors affected by FTX.

03Social popularity and KOL attention

According to the social sentiment analysis dated 2026-07-15, the overall market sentiment remains neutral, with the AI-related sentiment score stabilizing at 55/100.

In terms of KOL perspectives, only 1 KOL was observed discussing DOGE, among whom 85.0% held a neutral attitude, while 5.0% were bullish and 10.0% were bearish, indicating that leading opinion leaders do not yet have a clear directional guidance for this asset.

Regarding popular topics, five themes ranked first in terms of popularity: global crypto regulation and compliance, the reshaping of value in Ethereum’s L2 ecosystem and Gas mechanism, intensified competition among Ethereum L2s and compliant chain ecosystems, improvements in USDC’s compliance infrastructure and expansion of its payment applications, and on-chain capital flows and institutional movements—all with a popularity score of 1. This shows that the community’s focus is currently highly concentrated on macro-level regulatory frameworks, the technological evolution of Ethereum’s Layer 2 solutions, and stablecoin infrastructure, rather than short-term fluctuations in individual meme tokens. It reflects a rational assessment by the community of the underlying ecosystem’s value and capital flow trends amid clearer regulatory expectations.

04Operation Recommendations and Risk Warnings

Trading Recommendations and Risk Warnings (2026-07-15)

Trading Recommendations

• PEPE Whale Tracking Strategy (Timeframe: This Week) Given that the whale addresses associated with the 07-11 transaction bought approximately $3.58 million worth of PEPE tokens within 24 hours, showing a significant increase in on-chain holdings, investors can consider building positions in stages to follow the whale’s capital movements if the current price of PEPE remains stable at $0.00000279 and the 24-hour trading volume stays above $201.6M. Conversely, if the price drops below $0.00000250 and trading volume shrinks below $150M, it is advisable to stop adding more positions and take defensive measures.
• SHIB Selling Pressure Avoidance Strategy (Timeframe: Next 2 Weeks) Influenced by the U.S. government’s decision on 07-15 to transfer $250,000 worth of SHIB to repay FTX creditors, along with the historical selling pressure from a dormant whale that moved 600 billion SHIB to a forwarding address on 06-25, investors should consider gradually reducing their holdings if the current price of SHIB at $0.00000424 fails to break through $0.00000450 and the 24-hour trading volume rises above $60M, in order to avoid potential liquidation-driven selling pressure. If the price falls below $0.00000400, strict stop-loss orders should be implemented.
• New Chain Meme Event-Driven Strategy (Timeframe: This Month) Taking into account the meme coin trend triggered by the launch of Robinhood Chain between 07-09 and 07-10, as well as the high activity of new blockchain projects with over $4 billion in trading volume within two weeks starting from 07-13, investors can consider entering the market with small positions if a newly launched meme token achieves a 24-hour trading volume of over $10M on major DEXs like Uniswap and sees an increase in holding addresses of more than 20%. However, if signs of bot control or daily price fluctuations exceeding 30% appear, it is necessary to exit the position immediately.

Risk Warnings

• Risks of Extreme Market Sentiment Fluctuations The market sentiment index has shown extreme volatility recently, dropping sharply from 51.8 to 36.2 (Fear level) and rising sharply from 14.2 to 50.1 (Neutral level). If the sentiment index experiences another daily fluctuation of over 15 points, it may indicate irrational panic selling or speculation, prompting investors to reduce their overall exposure.
• Whale Manipulation and Liquidity Traps A sudden increase in whale activity on the blockchain by 46–60 points could signal large-scale capital inflows or outflows. Additionally, reports on 07-08 highlighted issues of bot control and fake matching transactions in the Solana Meme market, with retail investors holding positions for an average of only 100 seconds. Investors should be vigilant about liquidity depletion risks if there is a surge in trading volume for a particular token while the price remains stagnant, or if there are frequent large-scale transfers on the blockchain.
• Regulatory and Compliance Uncertainties The U.S. government’s actions on 07-15 to dispose of seized FTX assets and transfer SHIB, along with Changpeng Zhao’s decision on 07-08 to delist popular BSC meme coins, demonstrate an increasing crackdown by regulators and exchanges on meme coins. If there are further official announcements regarding asset disposals or delistings, related tokens could face sharp price declines.
