Meme coins are off to a strong start this year. Trading volume has noticeably rebounded, Pump.fun is preparing for a major move, and even the former Mayor of New York City has entered the scene to create his own token — it seems there are still plenty of fresh blood entering this track. The entire Meme coin market has maintained its heat this week, from a rebound in trading data to platform ecosystem adjustments, and the celebrity effect's boost, various factors have combined to drive up market enthusiasm. If we consider whether Meme coins will continue to be popular in 2026, based on the current pace, the outlook still looks promising.

The former New York City mayor has already entered the scene, isn't that crazy enough haha
Celebrities come in and pump the market, I know this routine too well
A rebound in trading volume means it's not dead yet, feeling pretty good this week
2026? First, let's focus on not getting rug-pulled in front of what's in front of us
Pump.fun is up to some tricks again, gotta keep a close eye on it
Meme coins are always a meat grinder for new retail investors, I watch and laugh
Fresh blood is probably here to send money, anyway I won't chase highs anymore
This track is hot, but it all depends on who gets caught last

actually, that ex-mayor token move is classic liquidity bait. let me run the numbers—pump.fun's order book depth suggests maybe 40-50bps slippage on mid-size trades rn. not exactly screaming "sustainable growth" to me lol

ngl the whole "celebrity tokens will drive adoption" thesis is empirically weak. where's the governance framework here? just vibes and market momentum, no actual token utility metrics
