WOO X Research: SOL Memes Warm Up, What Do Emerging Memes Have in Common?
Breaking Through 1 Billion Market Cap Amid Tough Conditions, RFC Fuels Sol Meme Revival
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsAuthor: WOO X Research
Pump Fun peaked in 2025 amid the Trump token craze, achieving daily revenues between $7 million and $5 million. However, as the broader market underwent a significant downturn and AI narratives faded without new meme catalysts, these negative factors directly impacted Pump Fun's revenue performance, hitting a trough in March this year, with daily income frequently falling below $1 million—marking a clear pause in Solana’s meme season.
Recently, however, Pump Fun’s revenue has shown signs of recovery. Though not yet matching previous meme mania levels, it has steadily risen, showing roughly 30%–50% growth compared to its lows. This rebound suggests the emergence of new "golden dogs," with RFC breaking through $100 million market cap amid uncertain market conditions, reigniting interest in Solana memes. Let WOO X Research analyze the current wave of rising meme coins to identify common traits and uncover the core narratives driving this renewed momentum.

RFC
RFC stands for Retard Finder Coin—a self-deprecating term meaning “idiot detector.” Its Twitter content centers on criticizing left-wing ideologies and promoting right-wing, pro-Trump rhetoric. The key narrative driver is Elon Musk’s attention and repeated interactions with the project, positioning RFC as a top-tier Musk-related meme coin. Later, it even appeared on China Central Television’s financial news segment, further amplifying its reach.
On-chain analysis reveals that major RFC holders have strong ties to $TRUMP, raising suspicions that they may be market makers. One such address fully exited on March 15, suggesting that price movements were likely not driven purely by organic narrative but also coordinated manipulation by insider groups.

DARK
DARK is an experimental project building a secure and efficient execution environment for AI agents using Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and Model Context Protocol (MCP). Its flagship application, $DARK Games, is an AI-powered competitive gaming universe where AIs battle each other, and humans can participate via betting or sponsorship, all incentivized through the $DARK token. By innovatively integrating AI, security tech, and blockchain, DARK appeals to users interested in cutting-edge technology and gamified experiences. Early access is available via their official waitlist.
The narrative centers on MCP, currently a hot topic in Web2 and considered a critical next step in AI development. As the leading Web3 representative of the MCP concept, DARK benefits from spillover hype from Web2—making its trajectory highly anticipated.

Memecoin
A meta-meme coin launched on Pepe’s second anniversary, attempting to establish itself as a universal meme symbol through the bluntly literal name “Memecoin.” However, the community has raised concerns about insider trading and manipulative behavior by the team. The core narrative lies in its minimalist naming strategy and evidence of strong whale control.

Titcoin
Built around breast-related puns, Titcoin leverages adult humor and sexual innuendo to attract niche communities. Its viral power stems from lowbrow wordplay, amplified by Western cultural openness to provocative content. The narrative centers on the universality and humor of its pun-based name—an instantly understandable, direct expression across cultures, forming a globally recognizable symbolic system. Backed by endorsements from prominent KOLs (notably DNF), it recently captured market attention as a breakout meme coin.

What Do These Trending Tokens Have in Common?
-
Tight integration with real-world topics:
RFC: Rides the pro-Trump, anti-left political wave with added celebrity association via Elon Musk;
DARK: Taps into MCP and AI trends, bridging the Web2 hype into Web3;
Memecoin: Leverages Pepe’s two-year anniversary to trigger collective nostalgia;
Titcoin: Uses cross-culturally recognizable adult innuendo to fuel viral spread.
Narrative equals consensus—content that sparks conversation naturally attracts capital and traffic.
-
From fairness to acceptance of strong whales:
RFC: Shares funding links with $TRUMP, seen as part of a meme coin cartel;
Memecoin: Accused of exchange front-running and insider deals;
Titcoin: Clearly propelled by KOL-led pumps.
In bearish cycles, meme coin rallies are rarely organic. Instead, they’re ignited by whales (or so-called conspiracy groups), then amplified by community engagement—only through this hybrid model can the token lifecycle sustain.
-
Provocative, direct naming strategies with ultra-low cognitive barriers:
Ticker as narrative—the blunter the name, the faster it forms a memorable, discussable identity;
Memecoin: Uses the category name itself as the brand;
Titcoin: Grabs attention with genital puns;
RFC: Employs derogatory language to emphasize its “anti-PC” stance.
Naming no longer seeks sophistication or technical polish; instead, it embraces raw, immediate, and replicable meme logic.
Solana memes may not return to the full-blown bull run of March, but new narratives combined with efficient pump mechanisms continue to generate short-term breakouts. For retail investors, meme coins remain one of the most accessible gateways to multi-bag gains—if timed with the next narrative wave.
