Starting to see my tl calling memecoin season again after $ANSEM and $CASHCAT put two proper runners on the board.

Starting to see my tl calling memecoin season again after $ANSEM and $CASHCAT put two proper runners on the board.
I get why, but this still looks very different from the memecoin market everyone remembers.
Two coins running does not mean the whole market is back. It means attention finally found somewhere worth concentrating again after months of launching into a vacuum.
Pumpfun is still printing millions in weekly fees and has reclaimed around 95% of Solana launch activity, but it's dominating a much smaller game.
– Solana memecoins used to make up 67% of DEX volume, now only 10–20%.
– average memecoin holding time is just 58s today
– 96% of wallets bought and sold the same token
I know $ANSEM brought a lot of traders back, but from what I understand, degens are betting Ansem keeps bull posting, the fees keep arriving, and each new airdrop brings another wave of holders.
Then $CASHCAT appeared as the next trade, and you could see how weak conviction and how illiquid the low-cap market still is.
The entire low-cap market got vamped, including $ANSEM. Now both are pulling back.
Yes, I respect the pumps and I'm not denying what they're creating:
– $800M daily DEX volume, 300K daily active addresses, 31K daily new tokens on Robinhood Chain
– Pumpfun graduation rate grew from 0.7% to 2.67%
For most of H1, buying a meme meant competing against KOLs, bots, insiders and cabals. These two gave capital an actual reason to gamble again.
NFA, but if you ask me, besides $ANSEM and $CASHCAT, these are the memes with the strongest culture if the trenches really come back:
> $Useless: flipped no utility into the utility. In a market full of coins pretending to have utility, radical honesty became the narrative.
> $Buttcoin: OG crypto meme, billionaire holder, pending IP and conviction that survives every cycle.
> $TROLL: the internet's OG meme, official IP, 15+ years of cultural recognition, expanding merch and listings give it a moat most memecoins simply can't copy.
> $neet: a bet that the anti-9-to-5 movement becomes one of crypto's biggest cultural trades. AI replacing jobs and weak job markets keep feeding the narrative.
> $TripleT: the biggest AI brainrot character that's already escaped crypto. Mainstream recognition, legal controversy and relentless community marketing keep feeding the narrative.
> $Jotchua: pre-existing dog meme with an organic cult community trying to bring back early $WIF energy.
What I want now is BTC not to nuke, $ANSEM and $CASHCAT to keep holding above $100M, bring retail attention back, and maybe we actually revive the trenches.
