On November 15, several altcoin project owners including Litecoin, yearn.fi, Manta, TRON DAO, and Renzo posted on social media, jokingly saying: "Given the current market conditions, I think we are actually a meme coin project."
At the same time, the leading trading platform Binance also launched two popular meme projects, Act I: The AI Prophecy (ACT) and Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT), and both performed well.

Summary
In this round of crypto cycle, meme coins have clearly become the track with the greatest wealth effect. Currently, the market value of DOGE, SHIB, and PEPE has exceeded $10 billion. In addition, the returns brought by many other meme coins far exceed the so-called VC coins, which has led many blue-chip altcoins to put down the status of institutional projects for the sake of attention and compare themselves to meme coins. However, investors still need to be wary of the inherent risks of meme coins. Large fluctuations and no actual value have always been the biggest pain points behind their high returns.
