Super Cycle Begins: Four Predictions for the Crypto Market After the TRUMP Token Event
The market grows smarter, celebrity memes spark a frenzy, and AI tokens make a triumphant return.

Trump has taken control of the crypto market.
He owns the 12th largest token by market cap, valued at $15 billion. He’s captured the attention of every crypto user. He dominates every token in the market, doubling his net worth in less than a day. He has complete control—until his wife launches the MELANIA coin, launching a "vampire attack" on his own token and causing TRUMP to drop over 50%.
It's not that TRUMP is a scam. But most agree that launching MELANIA was a massive mistake. However, this misstep doesn’t mean the end of memecoins.
In fact, it marks a new beginning—a start of a wild cycle. Celebrity memes are becoming the norm, and there’s no such thing as “crime” in crypto. Below are four key predictions for this cycle, along with the tokens/ecosystems poised to have the biggest impact:
The Market Gets Smarter, Trump Memes Cool Down
Whether the Trump family will stop issuing memes—or if every family member will get their own—is uncertain. But one thing is clear: diminishing returns are setting in for each new token launch.
Launching MELANIA was a huge error. The TRUMP token was destined for a much higher valuation—possibly even DOGE-tier. But insiders revealed their hand too early.
As more TRUMP-related memes launch and underperform, traders will begin seeking broader markets and greater growth opportunities.
Meanwhile, celebrities are closely watching this golden opportunity...
Celebrity Memes & Rugs
Celebrities will launch their own memecoins. This isn't surprising—the market has been expecting it.
But what the market didn’t anticipate is the scale of impact these celebrity memecoins could have.
Despite public PTSD from Hawk Tuah (HAWK token crash) and Floyd Mayweather (who promoted the scam project Mayweverse), let’s look at some key data from the past two days:
-
Trump memes attracted over 115,000 new crypto users (see dashboard below).
-
Google searches related to crypto have surged: “Solana” hit a year-high in search volume, while terms like “Crypto,” “Ethereum,” and “Coinbase” are all trending upward this year.

Why is this data so important?
115,000 new users is not a small number.
-
For context, that’s half of Arbitrum’s daily active users and a quarter of Ethereum’s.
Google search trends indicate a new demographic entering crypto.
-
Experienced crypto users don’t use Google. They already have Coinbase bookmarked, know what Solana is, and follow updates on X.
-
This shows rising interest across the entire crypto space—not just Solana.
Other celebrities could generate similar effects.
There are many other figures with massive, devoted fanbases capable of bringing hundreds of thousands of users on-chain, just like Trump. Examples include Elon Musk, MrBeast, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, CR7, Messi, and Jeff Bezos.
Imagine Taylor Swift launching a TSWIFT coin and bringing 100,000–200,000 new users on-chain. That’s equivalent to adding an entirely new blockchain—or a whole new user planet to the crypto solar system.
Yes, this is optimistic—and historically, celebrity memes often end in rug pulls. But in a bull market, people forget quickly.
The Hawk Tuah rug won’t stop gamblers or Swifties from buying her next meme. Even if 9 out of 10 celebrity memes end in rugs, the one that doesn’t will bring much-needed users and liquidity into crypto.
AI Tokens: The Return of the King
After Trump memes cool down, traders will seek better opportunities. AI presents one of the best. When thinking about AI, consider the APE acronym:
-
A: Abstraction. AI solves UI/UX problems by simplifying complex DeFi processes—trading, lending, borrowing, LPing—through natural language interfaces.
-
P: Profit / Protection. AI agents enable automation and superior trading strategies, generating extra yield. They’re also ideal for investor protection. Some teams are already building wallet safeguards that alert users to potential fraud before they buy a token.
-
E: Entertainment. Waifus, DJs, etc.—need we say more?
When assessing AI’s impact on crypto, the shift in profits from Trump traders to DeFAI becomes obvious. Some of my favorite AI projects include VIRTUAL, AIXBT, AVA, FARTCOIN, and HAT.
I’m also watching MCAP projects with niche use cases that stand out (not another trading bot or launchpad):
-
ANTIRUG: Predictive analytics for project rug risks
-
PYTHIA: AI modeled after a rat’s brain
-
VIRAL: Agents that learn directly from human behavior on-screen
SOL: The Undefeated Champion
If nothing else, the TRUMP coin proved one thing: Solana is the best chain for launching tokens, with no real competitor.
Hitting a $15 billion market cap in a single day—no other ecosystem could pull that off.
In the past two days, Solana reached new highs across nearly every metric (related reading: Crazy Weekend: 10 Charts Decoding Crypto’s Solana Moment):
-
Total Value Locked (TVL) surged past $12 billion, the highest since the 2021 bull market peak
-
Price rose over 25%, hitting a new high of $290
-
DEX trading volume set another record at $17.5 billion
Solana is the people’s chain—and that doesn’t seem likely to change anytime soon.
