BTC, ETH, ZEC have all demonstrated strong performance in this cycle, but what truly captures market attention are the wealth-creating legends of MEME coins.

Remember the frenzy of 2021? A single tweet from Musk sent DOGE soaring 300 times; a community consensus caused SHIB to increase by 260,000 times in less than a year. Back then, many people were regretting: "I clearly saw these projects, why didn't I get in?"

At the start of 2026, similar opportunities seem to be emerging again. PEPE's strong performance indicates a awakening in the MEME coin sector, but can this time produce a legend at the level of SHIB? The answer might be more interesting than you think.

Some projects are replaying that history — with team continuity, tests under extreme pressure, and solid on-chain data support. For example, a certain "dog" themed project is backed by the early core team behind SHIB. They have been quietly accumulating over the past two years, and this phase might be the "big move" preparation.

From on-chain data, these projects have already undergone multiple rounds of calm upward movement, with fundamentals becoming increasingly stable. Most importantly, signs of a fourth major upward wave are gradually appearing in the data. This is not investment advice, but a market phenomenon in front of us — when these conditions occur simultaneously, history indeed has a chance to repeat.

The difference is, last time you might have been a bystander; this time, you have the opportunity to make a different choice. The market always offers opportunities to those with vision, but the window is often short. When the MEME coin cycle restarts, whoever seizes the moment will witness the next wealth creation story.

Of course, all this depends on doing your homework, understanding the project's fundamentals, and bearing the associated risks. The high returns of MEME coins come with high volatility, so never bet all your chips on a single project.
