Recently, discussions about meme coins and new coin approvals have become increasingly intense. In fact, a careful observation reveals that the latest launched projects are indeed very different in style, completely breaking away from those old routines that have been heavily criticized.

Taking two recent viral examples, one of them has directly surpassed 100 million in popularity on Twitter, with Elon Musk retweeting it more than once. Both domestic and international official accounts are following and mimicking its visual style. If this still doesn't count as a meme coin, then what does? The other one gained popularity on Douyin, using a Chinese name to break into the domestic market, and even many overseas influencers are creating secondary content related to it. Logically speaking, these types of projects are indeed more worth paying attention to than those obscure coins.

But honestly, the biggest problem with Alpha projects isn't their selection, but their sustainability. Previously, those popular coins were often just fleeting moments—hot for a period and then cooling off completely, with most second-wave bottom-fishing resulting in losses. The core reason is simple: 99% of projects lack strong backing from large investors, relying entirely on retail investor sentiment to push prices up, only to plummet immediately after FOMO ends. This phenomenon is most obvious when market liquidity is insufficient.

Compare that to meme coins in the Solana ecosystem, where the decline is much more drastic, often leading directly to zero. The performance on BSC is noticeably more moderate. There's also an invisible advantage—when BSC coins fall, at least people can still complain in Chinese, and there's a chance to hear responses and attitudes from project teams. Switch to Solana, and you don't even know who to curse, and even if you do, no one cares.

This is also why, during a certain major competition, meme coin projects supported by strong investors could sustain the entire ecosystem's heat. During that period, the ecosystem continued to generate profit effects, unlike now, where it's all retail-driven. Therefore, the ideal state should be a diversified coin ecosystem—combining fresh Alpha projects that create surprises with deeply rooted strong investor projects that provide stable profit mechanisms. Only then can participants of different styles each find their place, and the ecosystem truly become active.

Overall, the current BSC meme ecosystem has more room for imagination and is more motivated to participate.
