As the U.S. election concludes, 2024 is also closing. Reflecting on this year's crypto bull market, Meme has been an unavoidable topic. From BOME at the start of the year, MAGA in the middle, to GOAT at the end, Memecoin has generated new hot topics every quarter, sustaining the industry's momentum. Belgian scholar Francis Paul Heylighen proposed in 1998 that meme culture consists of four stages, including "assimilation," "retention," "expression," and "transmission." On a deeper level, meme culture's popularity can be attributed to its alignment with the uses and gratifications theory proposed by British communication scholar McQuail.

Key Takeaways

Cultural Impact of Memecoins: As the “traffic key” of the crypto market, Memecoins represent the shift of the crypto industry from an infrastructure-focused to a cultural phenomenon. Memecoins have attracted a massive user base, especially during major social events like the U.S. presidential election. The emergence of Memecoins like BOME, MAGA, and GOAT has made them widely discussed market topics.

The Role of Technological Innovation and Community Power: The rise of Memecoins is no accident; it is the result of both community development and technological progress. Memecoins have evolved from internet memes to digital assets with investment potential, driven by technological advancements and community expansion.

Relationship Between Memecoins and Market Capital Inflows: Investor interest in Memecoins stems from their cultural value, high liquidity, and community-driven market dynamics. With support from KOLs and strategic investments by whales, Memecoins have seen sustained price increases, creating a strong capital inflow effect.

The “Positive Feedback Loop” of Memecoins: Memecoins’ success is underpinned by a positive feedback loop involving attracting new users, increasing community engagement, gaining KOL support, and leveraging market optimism. This loop strengthens community belief in Memecoins and boosts their market performance.

Future Trends and Market Outlook for Memecoins: Analysts predict that as Memecoins evolve and the market matures further, they will become an undeniable force in the crypto market, driving the industry to expand into broader cultural and economic domains.
