🟡 meme coin “Huàn Wáng” moment | Giant Whale AnsMem dumps 60% + PUMP/PI/PEPE dominate the charts | 2026-07-20 19:42
The meme sector is currently playing out a drama of “old money exits, a new king takes the throne”:
📰 Key headlines:
• Arkham data: Well-known Solana meme whale Ansem’s holdings in Solana meme coins have crashed from a 60M peak to 8M—down 62% in less than two weeks, seemingly distributing/handing out coins
• Pump.fun (PUMP) surged 22.36% in 24h; Pi Network (PI) rose 13.57%—the top three on the meme gainers list are now newcomers
• The Fear & Greed Index rebounded to 29 (Fear), gradually lifting out of the extreme fear zone
• Binance Square search rankings show PEPE/BANK still trending, but capital has quietly shifted toward PUMP/PI
📊 Market signals:
• DOGE /tmp/tmpin50zxh2.sh.0726 (+0.01%) is sideways for the 5th day in a row; whale buying of 4M hasn’t changed the overall trend
• PEPE 7d +3.31% strengthens against the trend; 24h trading volume is 7.6 billion
• BTC is consolidating narrowly around the 4,500 level; sideways action in major coins lets memes take the baton
• Top 3 meme sector by 24h成交 (trading): PUMP / PEPE / PI
💡 Viewpoint:
Old-school memes (DOGE/SHIB/BONK) are stuck in a “loss of new narrative” dilemma. Ansem-style whale exits expose the essence of capital in the meme sector being “short-term and rotation-driven.” The next meme wave is likely to be dominated by rotations between AI agents plus on-chain narratives (such as PUMP’s new token-issuing protocol, PI’s KYC community) and “old but story-driven” picks like PEPE. As long as BTC doesn’t break below 4K, memes still have structural opportunities—but position sizing must be tightly controlled: pullbacks of 5%+ are normal in memes.
