The on-chain market is warming up, what commonalities do the latest popular Memes on SOL have?

Pump Fun will peak in 2025 as Trump issues coins, with daily revenue approximately falling in the range of 7 to 5 million USD. However, as the market experiences a significant fall, the end of AI narratives, and the lack of new meme hotspots, various unfavourable information factors are directly reflected in Pump Fun's revenue performance. In March of this year, it reached a low point, with daily revenue often below 1 million USD, and thus it announced that the Solana meme event has been put on hold.

However, recently, Pump Fun's revenue has increased, although not as much as the previous meme frenzy, it is gradually rising, showing about 30% to 50% growth compared to the low point. The revenue growth represents the birth of a new "Golden Dog", while RFC's market capitalization has surpassed 100 million dollars under uncertain market conditions, driving a revival of the Solana meme trend. Let's have WOO X Research review the recent strong emerging memes and explore what similarities they have, in order to identify the core narratives driving the meme market.

RFC

RFC stands for Retard Finder Coin, which means "idiot discoverer" and is used for self-deprecation. The content on RFC's Twitter revolves around criticizing the left and supporting right-wing statements in favor of Trump. The narrative point is that Musk has shown interest and interacted with it multiple times, making it a highly relevant Musk concept meme coin. Furthermore, it later appeared on China's CCTV financial news, which has continuously enhanced the coin's spread.

In terms of chips, it has been found that RFC large holders are closely associated with $TRUMP and are suspected to be market makers. Moreover, this address cleared its positions on March 15, and the increase behind it may not solely be driven by narratives; the collusion of conspiracy groups is also a part of it.

DARK

It is an experimental project that creates a secure and efficient operating platform for AI agents through Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and Model Context Protocols (MCP). Its core application $DARK Games is an AI competitive gaming universe where AI competes in abilities, and humans can participate through betting or sponsorship, combined with $DARK coin to incentivize ecological development. The project innovatively integrates AI, security technology, and blockchain, making it suitable for users interested in cutting-edge technology and gamified experiences. Currently, you can join the official website waiting list for an early experience.

The narrative point is that MCP is the current hot topic of Web 2 and is the next focus of AI development, and the current MCP concept leader of Web 3 is DARK, and the extension of Web 2 hotspots to Web 3 is still quite exciting.

Memecoin

The tuple meme coin created for the second anniversary of Pepe attempts to establish a pan-meme symbol status through the ultimate straightforward naming of "memecoin", but it has been questioned by the community for the presence of insider trading and signs of manipulation by the project team. The narrative points to a minimalist naming strategy and strong centralized control.

• Historical highest market value: 13.3M
• 24 HR Trading Volume: 11.2M
• Concept Tag: Meme

Titcoin

Construct adult-oriented humorous memes around double entendres related to the chest, attracting specific communities through sexual innuendo culture. With vulgar homophonic puns as the core dissemination power, combined with the open culture of Europe and America to create controversial communication hotspots. The narrative point lies in the fun of homophony, which is a straightforward expression that can be understood globally, serving as a universal symbolic system of hints, plus the promotion from well-known KOLs (DNF), becoming a meme coin that attracted market attention recently.

What are the similarities among the recently popular coins?

Narratives are closely linked to real-world topics:

• RFC: Riding the right-wing narrative of Musk and Trump, combining political and celebrity relevance;
• DARK: Combining MCP and AI topics, continuing the trend from Web2 to Web3;
• Memecoin: Triggering collective memories with the two-year anniversary of Pepe;
• Titcoin: Creating viral spread with cross-cultural adult suggestions.

Narrative is consensus, and content that can spark discussion is more likely to attract capital and traffic.

Pursuing fairness to accepting strong manipulators:

• The funds behind RFC are common with $TRUMP and are regarded as a meme dealer alliance;
• Memecoin was exposed for early layout and insider trading by the exchange;
• Titcoin is obviously led by KOLs to hype and boost its market value.

In the market drought cycle, the price of meme coins does not rely purely on community consensus, but first ignites the first fire by the market maker ( or the cabal ), and then ferments by the community, so that the overall token life cycle can be continued.

Exaggerated and Direct Naming Strategy with Ultra-Low Cognitive Threshold:

Ticker is storytelling, the more straightforward the naming, the quicker it can form memory points and topicality.

• Memecoin: directly use the category as the name;
• Titcoin: Attracts attention with double entendre using genitalia.
• RFC: Strengthening the position of "anti-PC political correctness" with insulting language.

Naming no longer pursues packaging and a sense of technology, but instead moves towards an extremely crude, direct, and replicable meme logic.

Although the Solana meme cannot return to the overall bull market of March, the new narrative and efficient pump mechanism continue to create short-term hits. If it can catch the new narrative wind, meme coins may still be the best stepping stone for small capital to double.
