The latest MEME coin launched by a leading exchange has already dropped 18% after hitting spot trading. What issues does this phenomenon reveal?

In simple terms, coins that are driven solely by "spot listing expectations" often lack sufficient narrative depth and community foundation. When expectations are fulfilled, without real ecological support, funds will immediately withdraw. This is a classic case of "buy the rumor, sell the fact" — as liquidity tightens, various problems are exposed.

Looking at DOGE, SHIB, PEPE, and other MEME coins that have reached a billion-dollar scale, their secret to success boils down to three words: having a story, having popularity, and having an ecosystem. All three are indispensable, forming a stable growth cycle.

What’s interesting about the Puppies project now is that it has gathered all these success factors. The Elon Musk concept provides strong narrative support, and the community has high stickiness; it is deployed on the Ethereum mainnet, which comes with liquidity advantages of mainstream public chains; on-chain active addresses have already exceeded 26,000, indicating high participation; multiple mainstream DEXs already offer trading pairs. These are hard indicators.

From the market flow perspective, institutional investors’ current strategy is very clear — abandon coins that only have concepts and shift to those with a real community foundation and complete narrative. The previous quiet period of that MEME coin just confirms this shift.

Of course, MEME coins still carry volatility, and investing requires caution. But if you really miss the next opportunity to invest in projects with story, community, and ecological foundation, it might be a long wait until the next one.

MEME-0,3%

DOGE-1,56%

SHIB-1,58%

PEPE-0,78%

It's the same old story, expecting promises to be fulfilled and then dying. I'm already tired of it.

It's the same old trick of "buy the rumor, sell the fact," and the retail investors will never learn. --- A 18% drop? So what, I've seen worse. The problem is that no one in the community even cares about this stuff. --- Sounds nice, but Puppies are just riding on Elon Musk's coattails for hype. How can they guarantee they won't crash? --- The three-element theory is tired; in the end, it's all about the market maker’s mood. --- 2.6 million active addresses? Uh... can this data even be trusted? --- Institutional investors shifting? I think retail investors have been wiped out, and now the institutions are stepping in, haha. --- Those meme coins worth billions are already history. Anyone still believing in this stuff now has to pay tuition. --- Instead of waiting for projects with a "real community," just go all in on DOGE. At least the history is there.

It's the same narrative again... When expectations fall short, it's blamed on poor community foundation. But what about when things were hyped up enthusiastically before?
