The market has been hit again by a wave of ultra-short meme stories: new tokens with minimal capitalization are appearing on $BNB Chain and in the $ETH network, which, due to aggressive launches and cheap transactions, can double in value within a day, and sometimes even more. The main driver is simple: the community gathers in chats in advance, liquidity is poured in the first minutes, then bots join in and hunt for any fresh contract. Participants like that the entry is small, and the dynamics are visible almost instantly — the price jumps right after launch.
But behind such rapid growth there is almost always a similarly rapid risk. While the coin is rising, it seems there is enough liquidity for everyone. As soon as the first large wallets start to unload, the depth of the order book sharply decreases, and the downward candle becomes as significant as the upward one. This is why many of these MEMEs operate on a 24-hour cycle: they soar in the morning, and by nightfall, they have either returned to their range or below their starting point. This is not a bug, but rather a profit model for those who entered before the rest.
Interestingly, in the new meme cycle, participants have stopped waiting solely for the BNB Chain — Ethereum is back in the game, despite higher fees. This indicates that the audience is willing to pay a bit more if they see a greater chance of being listed on popular DEX and for viral spread. This is also a plus for networks: the more of these fast-paced stories there are, the higher the turnover and wallet activity, which means network statistics look more vibrant.
The main advantage of such "bullish" MEMEs is that they perform well in a falling or sideways market. When major coins stagnate and speculators crave movement, these tokens provide the necessary adrenaline. You can invest a small amount and see results in just one day, rather than waiting a week for Bitcoin to decide its direction. This is why the meme royalty continues — it fills the liquidity void where major coins fail to evoke emotions.
However, the main drawback has not been canceled: the more people know about the scheme, the shorter the window for profit becomes. Currently, profits are most often taken not by those who "found a cool token," but by those who can enter quickly and exit even faster. For everyone else, it turns into an expensive attraction. Therefore, such MEMEs should now be treated not as a "new season," but as a short sprint: enter — collect — leave. This is not financial advice.
