Meme Coin Evolution and Value Reformation under the AI Narrative
Centralized platforms play a crucial bridging role in the meme market, providing users with convenient access to participation.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insights
Meme speculation has entered the AI era of human-machine resonance.
The story began with a conversation on Twitter between Marc Andreessen, founder of a16z, and "Truth Terminal."
Truth Terminal (@truth_terminal) is a Twitter account and also an AI bot capable of intelligently engaging with other users through AI models and emotional perception. @truth_terminal is a finely tuned OPUS large language model trained on data from websites such as Reddit and 4chan. Essentially, it's trained on extreme subcultural content. Its design purpose is to debate AI-generated belief systems while incorporating meme elements.
According to Decrypt, Truth Terminal operates in semi-autonomous mode, with human administrators only approving its tweets and deciding whom to interact with. What catapulted it to fame was receiving a $50,000 Bitcoin donation from a16z co-founder Marc Andreessen.
On October 11, Truth Terminal updated its Twitter again, announcing plans to launch a meme coin called goatseus maximus on Solana. In the tweet, it cryptically stated: "You own your meme, but your meme does not own you." Subsequently, the namesake token goatseus maximus (GOAT) was created on Pump.fun.
To date, GOAT’s market cap has reached $300 million, successfully fueling AI-themed meme projects.
Iteration, Narrative, Creativity: Meme Coins Permeating Every Corner of the Crypto Industry
Towards the end of last year, the rise of meme coins like MYRO, SILLY, and WIF sparked the first wave of meme enthusiasm in this cycle. In March this year, the presales of BOME and SLERF ignited the second wave. During this phase, an increasing number of meme coins started listing on centralized exchanges, gaining broader attention.
Following that, as the crypto market entered a volatile period and altcoins underperformed overall, meme trading platforms represented by pump.fun further extended the meme boom through infrastructure upgrades, triggering the outbreak of the third wave of meme mania. After successfully navigating September's market slump, emerging animal-themed meme coins became market focal points—MOODENG, for instance, achieved a maximum surge of 3,320.00% in the secondary market after its debut listing on LBank.
In reality, these tokens don’t require substantial product backing but are instead driven by market “imitative premium.” The value of memes lies precisely in their ability to meet ordinary investors’ needs: achieving wealth growth through token ownership.
Wealth Surge & Liquidity: Value Realization of Meme Coins in the Secondary Market
For many users looking to participate in the meme market, the most efficient approach is direct participation via centralized exchanges in the secondary market.
Take GOAT (listed as GOATSEUS on LBank) as an example. It has already been listed on multiple centralized exchanges including LBank (October 12, 12:30), MEXC (October 13, 20:00), CoinEx (October 14, 08:00), and XT.COM (October 14, 12:00). Taking LBank—the earliest exchange to list the token—if users had purchased at listing, they could have achieved a maximum return of 7,230.20%.
Besides GOAT, LBank has generally listed popular meme coins such as FIGHT, MIGGLES, NEIRO, KAMA, DOGS, CAT, and WDOG earlier than other exchanges, generating strong market effects.

In addition to listing a large number of meme coins, LBank’s average price increase significantly outperforms other exchanges. Public data shows that in September alone, LBank listed 18 meme coins with an average appreciation of 1,354.30%, exceeding the industry average.
In fact, centralized platforms in the secondary market are actively capturing traffic from meme projects by streamlining listing processes and deeply engaging communities to identify promising meme initiatives. For example, data indicates that in Q3 2024, LBank listed 50 meme coins—28 increased over 200%, 14 surged beyond 500%, and 9 exceeded 1,000% in gains.
Overall, centralized platforms play a crucial bridging role in the meme market, offering users convenient access. Their involvement not only accelerates the spread of meme coins but also helps users realize value.
Perhaps one day, AIs will form their own crypto ecosystems, participating equally alongside humans across the cryptocurrency landscape.
