As the on-chain market picks up, what do the latest popular memes on SOL have in common?

Question

Pump Fun will reach its peak in 2025 with Trump's coin issuance, with a single-day revenue of about $7 million - $5 million, and as the broader market experiences a sharp decline and the AI narrative ends, there is no new hot spot for memes, and various negative factors are also directly reflected in Pump Fun's revenue performance, which reached the bottom in March this year, with a single-day revenue often less than $1 million, so far it is announced that the Solana meme event has been put on pause.

However, in the recent past, Pump Fun's revenue growth, although not as good as the previous meme boom, has gradually increased, with an increase of about 30%~50% compared with the low point. The revenue growth represents the birth of a new "golden dog", and the RFC market capitalization exceeded $100 million in the face of uncertain market conditions, driving the recovery of the solana meme trend. Let WOO X Research take stock of the recent strong emerging memes and uncover the similarities to uncover the core narrative that drives the meme market.

RFC

The RFC's full name is Retard Finder Coin, which means idiot finder and is used for self-deprecation. The RFC's Twitter content revolves around criticizing the left and supporting Trump's right-wing rhetoric. The narrative point lies in Musk's attention and interaction with him many times, which is considered to be a highly relevant Musk concept meme coin. Later, it also appeared on the financial news page of China CCTV, so that the dissemination of the currency continued to improve.

In terms of chips, the RFC big investor was found to be deeply related to $TRUMP, suspected of being a market maker, and the address was cleared on March 15.

DARK

It is an experimental project to create a secure and efficient runtime platform for AI agents through Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and Model Context Protocol (MCP). Its core application, $DARK Games, is an AI competitive game universe that allows AI to compete for abilities, and humans can participate through betting or sponsorship, combined with $DARK tokens to incentivize the development of the ecosystem. The project innovatively blends AI, security, and blockchain, and is suitable for users who are interested in cutting-edge technology and gamification experiences, and can currently be added to the official website waitlist for early access.

The narrative point is that MCP is the current hot topic of Web 2 and is the next focus of AI development, and the current MCP concept leader of Web 3 is DARK, and the extension of Web 2 hotspots to Web 3 is still quite exciting.

Memecoin

Based on Pepe's second anniversary, the tuple meme coin tried to establish a pan-meme symbol status through the ultimate straightforward name of "memecoin", but it was questioned by the community that there were traces of insider trading and project trading. The narrative point lies in the minimalist naming strategy and the strong market control behavior.

Concept Label: Meme

Titcoin

Construct adult-directed humor memes around chest puns to appeal to specific communities through sexually suggestive culture. With vulgar homophonic stalks as the core communication force, combined with the open culture of Europe and the United States to create controversial communication explosions. The narrative point lies in the fun of homophony, which is a straight-ball expression that can be understood by any world, and is a universal implied symbol system, coupled with the shouting (DNF) of well-known KOLs, which has become a meme coin that attracted the attention of the market a while ago.

What are the similarities between the recent popular tokens?

The narrative is closely linked to the topic of reality:

RFC: Riding on the right-wing narrative of Musk and Trump, with both political and celebrity relevance;
DARK: Combining MCP and AI topics, undertaking the spread of the Web2 boom to Web3;
Memecoin: Inspire collective memories with Pepe's second anniversary;
Titcoin: Creates virality with cross-cultural adult cues.

Narrative is consensus, and content that can trigger a topic is easier to focus on money and traffic.

Pursue fairness to accept strong dealers:

The funds behind the RFC are common to $TRUMP and are regarded as a meme bookmaker alliance;
Memecoin was exposed to the exchange layout and internal trading in advance;
Titcoin is clearly dominated by KOLs and shouting orders to push up the market capitalization.

In the market drought cycle, the price of meme coins does not rely purely on community consensus, but first ignites the first fire by the market maker ( or the cabal ), and then ferments by the community, so that the overall token life cycle can be continued.

Exaggerated and direct naming strategy and ultra-low cognitive threshold:

Ticker is the narrative, and the more straightforward the name, the more quickly it can form memory points and topicality;

Memecoin: directly use the category as the name;
Titcoin: catches the eye with genital puns;
RFC: Reinforce the "anti-PC politically correct" stance with insults.

Naming no longer pursues packaging and technical sense, but moves towards the ultimate crude, direct, and reproducible meme logic.

Although the Solana meme can't return to the full-blown bull market of March, the new narrative and efficient pump mechanism continue to create short-term hits. If it can take advantage of the new narrative outlet, meme coins may still be the best stepping stone to double the petty bourgeoisie.
