Meme Coin Daily (Issue 18 · Week 30, 2026)

01Market trends of popular meme tokens

The Meme sector showed mixed performance overall, with PEPE leading gains while BONK experienced a significant pullback, indicating that market sentiment remained in a fearful range.

As of July 20, 2026, the crypto market sentiment index stood at 37/100 (fearful), with the Meme sector showing notable internal rotation amid macroeconomic uncertainties. Among the major Meme tokens, DOGE was trading at $0.07172, with a slight 0.2% increase over 7 days and 24-hour trading volume of $586.4M, suggesting it still holds the highest level of investor interest but lacks short-term momentum. SHIB was trading at $0.00000422, up 2.5% over 7 days. Despite on-chain data showing it had dropped below the $0.0000042 support level and a bearish trend in the derivatives market, its price has recently stabilized and rebounded. PEPE performed the best, trading at $0.00000289 with a 8.4% increase over 7 days and 24-hour trading volume of $247.2M. This strong performance was closely linked to substantial inflows of capital from Whales, with related addresses purchasing PEPE worth approximately $3.58 million within 24 hours. In contrast, BONK was trading at $0.00000315, down 15.1% over 7 days. Although it rebounded by 12.1% in 24 hours, its sharp weekly decline reflected heavy short-term selling pressure. FLOKI was trading at $0.00002134, down 2.3% over 7 days, while WIF was trading at $0.1523, up 2.3% over the same period. Both tokens exhibited narrow-range fluctuations.

• Pay attention to the ongoing support provided by changes in PEPE Whale holdings for prices. • Monitor for signs of stabilization in BONK after the significant pullback and the corresponding trading volume trends.

02Popular On-Chain Pools and New Cryptocurrencies

As of 2026-07-20, the trends in popular on-chain pools and new cryptocurrencies exhibit the following characteristics:

1. Explosion of the Robinhood Chain ecosystem and evolving mechanisms: In its first week of launch, Robinhood Chain triggered a surge in meme coin prices, with CASHCAT rising by 1,500% and Uniswap’s trading volume climbing to sixth place among all chains. Subsequently, the meme platform Bags introduced token issuance capabilities on this chain on 07-12, supporting a Bonding Curve mechanism that allows tokens to automatically migrate to Uniswap v4 once they meet certain criteria. Although the chain’s market value exceeded $200 million in its first month, RWA assets accounted for only 4%, indicating that speculation remains the dominant activity.

2. Volatility of new coins on the Solana chain and risks posed by bots: The meme coin ANSEM on the Solana chain saw its price rise by nearly 300% around 07-08, driving Pump.fun’s weekly trading volume above $5.3 billion. However, on-chain data revealed widespread use of bots for price manipulation and fake order matching, with retail investors holding positions for an average of just 100 seconds—highlighting significant risks of profit-taking during recovery phases.

3. Capital movements of Whales and regulatory actions: On 07-11, associated Whales purchased a total of 1.299 trillion PEPE tokens through 11 addresses, worth approximately $3.58 million, signaling substantial capital inflows. On the same day, Changpeng Zhao explained that popular BSC meme coins were placed in a “black hole” as part of a test involving poorly displayed wallets. Additionally, on 07-15, the U.S. government transferred $250,000 worth of SHIB intended to repay debts to FTX creditors.

03Social popularity and KOL attention

On 2026-07-20, social media trends showed a high degree of dispersion. Topics such as Bitcoin falling below $55,000, the interaction between Whale funding flows and market sentiment, Solana’s price trend, the validation of the RWA tokenization sector by traditional financial giants, and comprehensive updates on Robinhood Chain all ranked at level 1 in terms of popularity, indicating that market attention was shifting rapidly between macro assets and traditional financial narratives.

Regarding KOL opinions, only 1 KOL was monitored for DOGE, with 100% expressing bullish views, while there were 0% bearish and 0% neutral opinions, reflecting a one-sidedly optimistic outlook.

Market sentiment indicators remained in the fear zone, with the overall AI sentiment score at 37/100. The value stayed unchanged across multiple monitoring periods (from 22:47 to 22:57 on 07-20), suggesting that investors are cautious about current market volatility.

04Operational Recommendations and Risk Warnings

Operational Recommendations and Risk Warnings

Report Date: 2026-07-20

Operational Recommendations

1. Adopt a phased investment strategy in response to changes in Whale funds (Time frame: Next 2 weeks) On-chain data shows a sharp increase in Whale activity, rising from 46 to 60 points. Between July 1st and 11th, 11 related addresses purchased a total of $3.58 million worth of PEPE. Given that the current market sentiment index is 37/100 (fear level), if PEPE’s current price of $0.00000289 stabilizes and the 24-hour trading volume remains above $247.2M, it can be seen as a signal of capital accumulation. It is recommended to invest in PEPE in phases to capture potential rebounds driven by improved sentiment.

2. Implement a cautious defensive strategy amid SHIB selling pressure (Time frame: This week) Data from July 20th shows that SHIB dropped below the key support level of $0.0000042, with the long/short ratio in the derivatives market falling to 0.91, indicating a clear bearish trend. If SHIB’s current price of $0.00000422 fails to recover above $0.0000043 quickly and the 24-hour trading volume remains below $57.1M, it suggests weak buying interest. It is advised to adopt a moderately defensive stance regarding SHIB holdings to avoid further declines.

3. Apply dynamic position management due to extreme sentiment fluctuations (Time frame: This month) The market sentiment index has experienced significant volatility recently, soaring from 14.2 to 50.1 before dropping sharply to 36.2. When the sentiment index is at the 37/100 fear level, if there is a sudden shift toward optimism among influencers (with a long/short gap change of +85.0 percentage points), caution is needed against short-term manipulation traps. Considering DOGE’s narrow price range of $0.07172, it is advisable to maintain flexible overall positions and avoid reckless buying at high sentiment levels.

Risk Warnings

1. Liquidity traps and robot manipulation risks Data from July 8th shows that Pump.fun on the Solana network had weekly trading volume exceeding $5.3 billion, yet retail holders held their positions for only an average of 100 seconds, indicating severe control by bots and fake trading activities. New blockchain projects can see $400 million in trading within two weeks of launch, but this often hides risks such as trap coins and manipulation. Investors should be wary of liquidity crises in low-market-cap meme coins and avoid participating in speculative projects without real user bases.

2. Systematic corrections triggered by sudden drops in macro sentiment The market sentiment index dropped by 15.6 points on July 20th (from 51.8 to 36.2), putting the market in a fearful state. If the sentiment index falls further below 30 points, it could trigger a widespread sell-off in the meme coin sector. Close attention should be paid to the narrow price ranges of BTC and ETH; once the broader market breaks through these levels, the high volatility of meme coins will amplify loss risks.

3. Regulatory issues and uncertainties regarding asset disposals On July 15th, the U.S. government transferred $250,000 worth of SHIB intended to repay FTX creditors. Such large-scale asset disposals may have short-term impacts on SHIB’s price. Additionally, on July 13th, Changpeng Zhao stated that destroying meme coins was merely part of operational testing, but exchanges still face uncertainties regarding their policies on listing and delisting meme coins. Investors should be cautious of potential restrictions on token liquidity due to compliance issues.
