In today's market, the hype around Asian-themed content is particularly intense. From photos of the smiling dolphin at Japan's Miyajima Aquarium to the surge in popularity of Korean plush characters like Loopy, Western meme enthusiasts appear deeply interested in Asian culture and are seemingly eager to invest in "Asian-themed" memes.
Dolphin
On the evening of October 9, X platform's official account @XData posted a photo of a smiling dolphin—the second time X has shared zoo-related meme content. This dolphin goes by three names: $Miharu, $HANBAO, and $TAOTAO—though its definitive name remains unclear. It was later confirmed to be Miharu from Miyajima Aquarium. The SOL version of Miharu attracted significant whale participation, including the top MOODENG holder (wallet address: DBzhEXjxvuvpS9i9N8PhQXSqzkc8YPtKbfWLwcSmxZpp), causing prices to spike immediately.
