Base co-founder Jesse Pollak is facing mounting criticism after publicly engaging with and backing activity linked to a meme token associated with rapper Soulja Boy.

The case revives long-running concerns about celebrity-driven crypto promotions and the responsibility of senior ecosystem figures.

The controversy unfolded over a sequence of posts on X in mid-December.

On December 13, Soulja Boy shared a comparison of creator payout schedules across major platforms, arguing that newer applications offered faster access to earnings than traditional social networks.

On-Chain Research Rekindles Concerns Over Celebrity Crypto Promotions

Pollak amplified the discussion while framing Base, Coinbase’s Ethereum Layer-2 network, as an alternative monetization layer for creators.

In a direct reply to Soulja Boy, Pollak said he had just backed the rapper on Base and had “instantly earned,” describing the interaction as an example of “new internet” behavior enabled by on-chain tools.

Although Pollak did not name or explicitly promote a specific token, many users interpreted the exchange as an endorsement of a Soulja Boy-linked meme token that had just launched on Base.

Developers, traders, and researchers questioned why a senior figure at a Coinbase-backed network would publicly engage with a celebrity whose crypto history has drawn repeated scrutiny.

The criticism quickly shifted from the token itself to broader concerns about trust, reputation, and showing within the Base ecosystem, which has positioned itself as a compliant, mainstream-friendly Layer-2 network.

The debate intensified after on-chain investigator ZachXBT publicly challenged Pollak’s decision to interact with Soulja Boy.

He pointed to research he published in April 2023 documenting what he described as a long pattern of exploitative crypto promotions tied to the rapper.

ZachXBT Details Pattern of Abandoned Crypto Projects Linked to Soulja Boy

According to that research, Soulja Boy was involved in at least 73 token promotions and 16 NFT launches, many of which later collapsed or were abandoned.

ZachXBT outlined several examples from past market cycles, including meme tokens such as RapDoge, which was promoted in July 2021 before quickly rug-pulling, and projects like Orion and The Life Token, which used charitable narratives before collapsing.

Beyond tokens, the investigator said Soulja Boy launched multiple NFT collections, some of which advertised future utility that never materialized.

He also referenced prior regulatory and legal issues, including SEC charges related to Tron promotions and a lawsuit connected to SafeMoon.

Growing Scrutiny Follows Base’s Rapid Rise in the Layer-2 Market

Against that backdrop, critics argued that visibility from prominent builders functions as implicit validation, particularly for new users who may not be familiar with a promoter’s history.

Supporters of open, permissionless networks countered that public blockchains do not restrict who can deploy tokens or participate, and that engagement does not necessarily equate to endorsement.

The episode arrives at a sensitive moment for Base.

According to L2beat data, Base is currently the second-largest Layer-2 network by total value locked, with approximately $12.66 billion, trailing only Arbitrum.

Its rapid growth has positioned it as one of the most visible scaling layers in the Ethereum ecosystem, increasing scrutiny around how senior figures communicate publicly.

The backlash also reflects a broader pattern in crypto discourse.

In recent months, ZachXBT has repeatedly surfaced in high-profile cases involving alleged misconduct, including claims tied to celebrity NFT launches, suspected large-scale hacks, and the exposure of organized fraud networks.

These episodes have fueled recurring debates about due diligence, accountability, and the role of influence in shaping on-chain behavior.

A noted Bitcoin adviser has warned that Shiba Inu faces an uphill climb unless it retakes a prior support band, a call that has stirred debate across crypto social channels.

According to posts by BingX Bitcoin adviser Nebraskan Gooner, the token must return above a horizontal region he marked between $0.000014 and $0.00001 to avoid a “dead” outlook.

Key Support Level Under Scrutiny

Gooner’s chart points to a multi-year zone that once acted as firm support. Reports show SHIB touched that band and later surged to about $0.000045 in early March 2024.

The importance of the area is highlighted by the token’s price action: it has spent much of Q4 2025 below that range, and at the time of reporting SHIB was trading around $0.000008618.

That places the coin roughly 33–38% below the $0.000013–$0.000014 region that many traders watch as critical.

Technical Traders See Trouble Ahead

Breaking a long-held support level often flips buying interest into resistance, and that scenario is what traders fear here. Based on reports from market commentators, a failure to climb back into the red band would make upward moves harder and likely sap momentum.

Gooner used blunt language, saying “Dead unless it reclaims red” unless the token reclaims the zone. The phrase was repeated widely, feeding both bearish calls and pushback from supporters.

Across social threads, many users argued that SHIB is not unique; several altcoins appear stalled in the current phase. A number of holders said SHIB’s recovery chances may hinge on a wider altcoin rebound, sometimes called altcoin season.

According to Zach Humphries, members of the Shiba Inu project must refocus every ecosystem initiative around SHIB, reposition the token to attract renewed retail interest, and publish a clear, actionable roadmap to restore earlier momentum.

Some analysts pointed to Bitcoin as the likely spark for any broad recovery, expecting the alpha coin to rebound toward $125,000 from around $90,000, while others have projected a new peak near $150,000 in 2026. If Bitcoin climbs above $100,000, traders say speculative flows could return and lift meme tokens including SHIB.

Short-term price moves show SHIB up 0.95% in the past 24 hours but down 4.8% over the last week. Many market observers emphasize that a return into the highlighted $0.000014–$0.00001 area would improve technical odds for a rally.

At the same time, others warn that even with historical liquidity and a large community, reclaiming a broken support is often difficult and can take time. The coming weeks will likely test whether market-wide momentum or renewed project direction can change SHIB’s path.

A trader in my Discord posted his allocation confirmations yesterday. Monad ICO: $5,000. Immunefi: $3,000. BOB: $2,000. Total investment: $10,000.

Someone asked him why he’s putting so much into ICOs when memecoins are still running. His response: “I’m not choosing between them. I’m stacking both strategies.”

Then he explained his math. If these ICOs do what Solana and Polygon did at launch, that $10,000 becomes $50,000 to $100,000 in weeks. Take half those profits. Deploy into memecoins with the gains. Suddenly you’re playing with house money on both sides.

That’s when it clicked for everyone in the chat. The whales making millions aren’t picking ICOs or memecoins. They’re using ICO allocations to generate the capital that lets them dominate memecoin plays without risk.

November 2025 is giving retail the same opportunity. Three major ICOs launching this month with legitimate institutional backing, immediate unlocks, and entry prices that VCs paid months ago. This isn’t 2017 scam territory. This is Coinbase and CoinList curating projects with real technology.

The question isn’t whether to abandon memecoins. It’s whether you want to keep buying memecoins with your initial capital, or start buying them with 10x profits from ICO allocations.

Monad: The Coinbase-Backed Layer 1 Everyone’s Fighting Over

Monad launches November 17 on Coinbase Launchpad at $0.025 per token. This is Coinbase’s first U.S.-accessible token sale since 2019. They don’t just randomly pick projects for their comeback.

The technology’s targeting 10,000 TPS with full Ethereum compatibility. Paradigm backed it with $225 million in funding. The team’s been building for years, not rushing a launch to catch hype.

Here’s the setup: $100 minimum gets you tokens at $0.025. Full unlock at token generation means immediate liquidity. If Monad captures even a fraction of Solana’s success trajectory, early allocators are looking at 10x to 20x potential.

The play is straightforward. Get allocated. Tokens unlock at launch. If it pumps 5x in the first week like most major ICOs do, you take half as profit and let the rest ride. That profit becomes your memecoin war chest while your remaining Monad position covers your initial investment.

Immunefi: The Unglamorous 10x Nobody’s Talking About

Immunefi isn’t sexy. It’s a Web3 bug bounty platform. But it protects over $60 billion in DeFi assets and has paid out $100 million in bounties. Every major protocol uses them.

The CoinList sale offers tokens at $0.01337. That’s a 73% discount to what VCs paid in the last private round. With 100% unlock at token generation, meaning no vesting overhang suppressing price.

This is the definition of asymmetric risk-reward. You’re buying essential DeFi infrastructure at better prices than institutions got, with better liquidity terms. The upside might be “only” 5x to 10x instead of 50x memecoin moonshots, but it’s 5x to 10x on something with actual revenue.

The whale strategy: allocate here for the high-probability 5x to 10x. Use those gains to size up memecoin positions where you need 50x to 100x for generational wealth. Stack strategies instead of choosing between them.

BOB: The Bitcoin DeFi Gateway Printing Early Allocators

Build on Bob launched November 10 bringing Ethereum-style DeFi to Bitcoin. One-click BTCFi. Zero-knowledge proofs. Everything Bitcoin holders wanted but couldn’t access easily.

The ICO allocated 400 million tokens across CoinList and Gate Web3. Vesting is 50% at launch, 50% over three months. Community tranche FDV started at $165 million, which is undervalued if they capture even 1% of Bitcoin’s DeFi ambitions.

Bitcoin DeFi is the narrative everyone knows is coming but nobody’s positioned for. BOB is the infrastructure play on that narrative at early-stage entry pricing. When Bitcoin DeFi actually takes off, early allocators will have multiplied their positions significantly.

The allocation window closed, but it demonstrates the pattern: get into infrastructure plays before the narrative goes mainstream. Use those gains to dominate when memecoin narratives shift.

The Capital Stacking Strategy Whales Use

Here’s what successful crypto traders figured out: you don’t choose between ICOs and memecoins. You use ICOs to generate capital, then deploy that capital into memecoins with conviction.

Example: You get $2,000 allocated in Monad. It 10x’s to $20,000 at launch. You take $10,000 profit and leave $10,000 riding. That $10,000 profit goes into three beaten-down memecoins positioned for the next rotation.

Now you’re playing both sides. Your Monad position covers your initial investment multiple times over. Your memecoin positions are pure upside funded by profits. If memecoins 5x, you just made $50,000 from a $2,000 initial allocation.

This is how small accounts become large accounts. Not by going all-in on one strategy, but by stacking multiple edge strategies that compound together.

The traders making millions in crypto aren’t the ones with perfect timing on one coin. They’re the ones with ICO allocations that fund memecoin positions that fund the next ICO cycle. It’s compound leverage across strategies.

Why November 2025 Is the Perfect Entry Point

We’re in a unique window. Bitcoin’s stable around $110,000. Major altcoins are consolidating. Memecoins had their initial run and are resetting. ICOs are coming back with institutional backing and compliance.

This creates the ideal setup for capital stacking. Get ICO allocations now at pre-market prices. Tokens unlock in late November through December. Take profits as they pump at launch. Deploy those profits into memecoins during their next accumulation phase before the December rally.

The timing gives you sequential opportunities instead of forced choices. You’re not abandoning memecoins to buy ICOs. You’re using ICO allocations to create bigger memecoin positions than you could afford otherwise.

Crypto Twitter’s narrative is “ICO is the new airdrop” but that’s incomplete. ICOs are the capital generation mechanism. Memecoins are the capital deployment mechanism. You need both.

How to Actually Execute This Strategy

Set up accounts on Coinbase Launchpad, CoinList, Gate Web3, and Legion now. These platforms curate legitimate ICO opportunities and handle compliance.

Allocate $100 to $1,000 per ICO depending on your capital base. You need USDC or USDT ready and KYC verification completed. Minimum entries are typically $50 to $100.

Don’t expect to get your full allocation request. ICOs are often oversubscribed, so you might request $5,000 and get $500. That’s fine. Even small allocations multiply significantly if the project performs.

When tokens unlock and pump at launch, take at least 50% profit. This isn’t being paper-handed. It’s locking in gains that become your memecoin allocation. Let the rest ride for longer-term upside.

Use those profits strategically. Don’t ape into whatever’s trending that day. Wait for memecoin consolidations. Enter beaten-down projects with strong communities. Give yourself the best risk-reward instead of chasing pumps.

The Infrastructure Advantage

Whether you’re stacking ICO profits into memecoin plays or thinking about launching your own projects, execution quality matters more than ever.

Rocket Suite provides the infrastructure for deploying competitive tokens on Ethereum and Base with volume optimization across BNB Chain, Solana, Plasma, Base, Ethereum, and XRP. As ICO capital eventually rotates through the ecosystem, the memecoin projects positioned to capture that flow are the ones with professional launch execution.

The gap between projects that survive cycles and projects that disappear keeps widening. Professional infrastructure, sustained volume strategies, and proper community building separate winners from losers. The capital is flowing. Being positioned to capture it requires preparation.

The Bottom Line

The path to whale status in November 2025 isn’t choosing between ICOs and memecoins. It’s stacking both strategies intelligently.

Monad, Immunefi, and BOB represent ICO opportunities with institutional backing at pre-market entry prices. If they perform like previous cycles, early allocators make 5x to 20x in weeks. Those gains become the capital that dominates memecoin positions without risking your initial investment.

My Discord trader with $10,000 in ICO allocations isn’t abandoning memecoins. He’s generating the capital to play memecoins bigger and smarter than he could with his original stack.

That’s not luck. That’s just understanding how successful traders actually build wealth in crypto. Multiple strategies. Compound leverage. Capital rotation across opportunities.

The ICO window is open this month. The memecoin rotation is coming in December. Position for both instead of choosing between them.

My Journey From Zero to My First Profit — Launching Solana Memecoins in 2 Months

How I Went From Total Beginner to Profitable Solana Memecoin Creator in Just 60 Days

When I started this journey, I was a total novice. No big capital. No insider network. Just curiosity — and a dream: to create a memecoin on Solana and actually make money from it.

Two months later? I made my first real profit. And I want to share exactly how I did it — not to brag, but to show that it’s possible — if you’re smart, disciplined, and willing to learn.

The Beginning: From Confusion to Clarity

Getting Started Was Chaos

• I devoured YouTube tutorials, guides, and community threads. But most advice was either overly optimistic hype or full of scams.
• My first launch on Pump.fun ended in disaster: only three bots bought, and they sold seconds after launch. I barely had time to react.
• I learned a hard truth: if you don’t have at least $1,000 in capital, you’re fighting an uphill battle. Small dev buys (like 0.1–0.5 SOL) led to losses once trading and commission costs piled up.

Cracking the Code: How Profitable Devs Do It

Through trial and error, I discovered a few key insights that changed everything:

Multi-Wallet Strategy

• Instead of launching from one wallet, I split my buys across many. This makes it look like different people are participating, not just “me.”
• This trick is used not only by devs, but also by snipers and even trading bots.

Automation & Launch Tools

• I experimented with “sniper bots” — Telegram bots that let you split one wallet into many, deploy your token, and buy bundles.
• Then I graduated to automated launch systems — more expensive, but powerful. These tools gave me chart control, anti-sniping protection, MEV safety, and bundle strategies.
• These tools don’t guarantee “100×”: they’re not magic. But when combined with a good launch plan, they give you a real shot.

Building a Real Community

• I didn’t just launch a meme coin and disappear. I created a Twitter/X community, posted daily, and engaged.
• With a small but active core group (50 people or so), I was already building momentum
• I used AI tools (like ChatGPT) to help craft my token’s story, image, and description.

Launching the Token: The Strategy That Worked

This is how I actually did my first successful launch:

Define the Idea:

• Pick a meme — but don’t overthink it.
• Make it relatable and simple.

Set Up Using the Right Tools:

• I used a bot or automated system depending on my budget.
• For me, paying for an automated system made sense — it brought control.

Deploy & Control the Chart:

• Use your wallets to buy bundles immediately after dev sells.
• Use chart control features in your automation tool to “smooth out” the launch.
• Buy on dips, sell on peaks. Don’t try to predict everything — use logic + tools.

Activate Your Community:

• Tweet/ post about your project.
• Share contract address + liquidity proof.
• Keep your community updated in real time.

Monitor, Adjust, Take Profit:

• Watch how traders react.
• Use your multi-wallet strategy to keep your chart balanced.
• When things are good, sell parts of your holdings. Reinvest or take profit; don’t go all-in.

AI-Powered Meme Coin Trading: The Hidden Advantage No One Is Talking About

The Result — What I Earned and Learned

• In the first month, after experimenting with bots and automated systems, I earned ~30 SOL.
• I wasn’t greedy — I focused on daily profit, not chasing 100x in a single trade.
• It took discipline, patience, and a willingness to “fail small” many times.

Key Lessons I Wish I Knew Before I Started

1. Start with capital — Trying to launch serious coins with less than 1,000 USD equivalent in SOL is very hard.
2. Use real tools — Learning via free or cheating ways only takes you so far. Automation gives you an edge.
3. Don’t underestimate community — A token with no people behind it is just code; a token with active users has potential.
4. Chart control matters — If you can’t manage your supply / bundles, bots and early traders will run away with your launch.
5. Take profit smartly — Use wallets, bots, and strategy to take money off the table and keep some to ride.

Why This Strategy Isn’t Just for Memecoin Gurus

• You don’t need a huge team — just the right tools, a simple idea, and a little capital.
• The automation systems are becoming more accessible.
• If you’re disciplined and methodical, you can learn how to build and launch a token and profit in a reasonable timeframe.

Risks & Reality Check

• Launching memecoins is risky — there are many scams, rug pulls, and failed launches.
• Automation costs money — and paying a lot doesn’t guarantee success.
• There’s no guarantee every coin you launch will moon. Sometimes you’ll just break even or lose.
• Trading / launching memecoins involves on-chain risk (smart contract bugs, rug logic) and market risk (liquidity exit, price dump).

The System That Changed Everything — The Goldmine Memecoin Strategy

Before I found consistency, I was doing what everyone else does: guessing, hoping, and copying random Telegram calls.
That’s exactly why most people lose money in memecoins — there’s no structure, no timing, no strategy.

Everything changed when I built what I now call The Goldmine Memecoin Strategy.

This isn’t another “buy early and pray” method.
It’s a precision-engineered framework that breaks down memecoin trading and launching into clear, repeatable steps:

✅ How to identify tokens that can actually 10x–200x before the crowd even notices

Most traders are always late. Goldmine gives you the filters, timing windows, and behaviour patterns insiders use to spot winners before they become popular.

✅ How to avoid obvious rugs, smart-contract traps, and bot-manipulated charts

You get the exact red flags that instantly disqualify a token — saving you from 80% of losses.

✅ How to use Telegram sniper bots, multi-wallet tools, and filtering systems the way pros use them

Not just how to push buttons — but how to use them strategically to maximize entries and minimize losses.

✅ How to take profit like a professional (without draining the chart or getting stuck)

Most beginners blow their profits because they sell wrong. Goldmine shows you how to exit quietly, safely, and profitably.

✅ How to build consistent small daily gains that add up to massive wins

No hype. No luck. Just a disciplined system that helped me turn my first real profits in this space.

Why You Need This Strategy

If you’re serious about profiting from memecoins — launching or trading — you need more than vibes, hype, and hope.
You need a framework.

Goldmine gives you:

• The exact tools I use
• The exact timing windows I use
• The exact filtering logic I use
• The exact daily routine I use
• And the exact playbook that moved me from confused beginner to consistent earner

Whether you’re launching your own token or sniping new ones, this strategy gives you the blueprint.

My Journey From Zero to My First Profit — Launching Solana Memecoins in 2 Months was originally published in Coinmonks on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Someone posted a Dexscreener screenshot in my group chat showing a token called PEPENODE up 847% in 36 hours. I assumed it was another pump-and-dump. Checked the contract. Read the docs. Realized it’s actually running AI agents that mine rewards across multiple meme ecosystems.

Not a picture of a dog with AI slapped in the name. An actual functioning product using machine learning to optimize meme coin staking yields automatically.

My first thought: this is unnecessarily complicated for a memecoin. My second thought: wait, people are making 600% APY on this while I’m holding regular PEPE hoping for another Elon tweet.

That’s when it clicked. November 2025 isn’t just another memecoin cycle. It’s the moment memecoins stopped being purely speculative jokes and started becoming speculative jokes that actually do things. AI integration, automated trading bots, prediction markets, gaming utilities. The line between “memecoin” and “functional DeFi project” is dissolving.

And the traders who figured this out early are already multiple commas ahead of everyone still chasing pure hype coins.

The AI Integration That Changes Everything

AI memecoins aren’t just branding. They’re embedding autonomous agents that scan Twitter for trending narratives, execute trades based on sentiment analysis, and even generate meme content that targets competing communities.

Projects like MemeMarketFun price attention in real time using AI agents. You’re not betting on whether a meme goes viral. You’re betting on an AI’s ability to detect signals before humans notice them and position accordingly.

PEPENODE’s mine-to-earn model uses virtual mining rigs that farm rewards from other meme ecosystems. It sounds ridiculous until you realize people are actually earning 600% APY in presale. Maxi Doge combines the dog meme everyone understands with 76% APY staking and leveraged futures trading coming soon.

This isn’t AI for the sake of AI. It’s AI solving actual problems memecoin holders have: how do I know which narrative is emerging? How do I maximize yield while holding? How do I stay ahead of trend rotations?

The memecoins integrating these features are capturing capital that would’ve gone to pure speculation plays. Because given the choice between holding a static dog coin or holding one that actively farms yield using AI, the math is obvious.

The Presale Meta That Actually Works

Presales used to be synonymous with scams. November 2025 changed that. The projects raising millions in presale aren’t promising moonshots based on hype. They’re offering functional products that happen to have memecoin branding.

Five notable presales closing this month are blending AI, gaming, payments, and social media monetization. The institutional narrative shifted hard: payment infrastructure is seeing 50x more attention than basic wallet tools.

SUBBD raised significant capital by solving content creator monetization using AI-powered social media tools. That’s not a memecoin in the traditional sense. But it’s marketed with memecoin energy and retail accessibility while delivering actual utility.

The presale math is seductive. Enter at $0.000xx, watch it list at 50x to 200x on day one. But the crucial difference now is teams are shipping products before token generation, not after. The graveyard of failed presales is still massive, but the survivors are projects that proved functionality during presale, not just promised it.

Due diligence matters more than ever. Check if the product actually works. Verify the team isn’t anonymous. Confirm tokenomics aren’t designed to dump on retail. The presales printing money are the ones that treated retail like partners, not exit liquidity.

Solana’s Memecoin Factory on Steroids

Pump.fun launched over 600,000 tokens in 2024 and 2025. That’s not a typo. Six hundred thousand. The Solana ecosystem became the undisputed memecoin creation hub because launching a token takes minutes and costs under $10.

The stat everyone cites: over 85% of launches fail within weeks. But the 15% that succeed create enough wealth that people keep trying. When entry barriers are that low, volume of attempts matters more than success rate on individual launches.

Recent viral hits on Solana follow predictable patterns. Animal themes still dominate (frogs, cats, weird creatures). Political satire coins pump around news cycles (TRUMP, MELANIA variants). Absurdist humor tokens catch fire when they hit the right cultural moment (Popfrog, Rome, Kukuli).

The platform keeps evolving too. New features focus on discoverability and utility token support. Even the “degen factory” recognizes pure speculation has diminishing returns. The memecoins surviving on Solana now are the ones with at least minimal community engagement or functionality.

For traders, this creates noise but also opportunity. The volume of launches means something’s always pumping. The challenge is filtering signal from the thousand scams launching simultaneously.

Narrative Is the Only Moat That Matters

The biggest alpha in late 2025 isn’t finding coins with the best technology. It’s finding coins with the most compelling narrative before everyone else discovers it.

Tokens tied to real-time cultural moments outperform everything. Celebrity drama, political scandals, viral Twitter trends. These create immediate attention spikes that translate to buying pressure measured in minutes, not days.

Community storytelling became the primary value driver. Coins with passionate holders who create memes, raid other communities, and maintain constant social presence survive corrections that kill lesser projects. The technical fundamentals barely matter compared to narrative strength.

This created a meta-layer where coins about coins about coins can still 10x on pure momentum. It sounds absurd. It is absurd. But it’s also how the market actually operates right now.

The debate on Crypto Twitter: is this sustainable alpha or just an increasingly sophisticated casino? The answer is probably both. Attention is genuinely scarce. Capturing it creates real value. But that value is ephemeral and rotates constantly.

The Evolution Nobody Expected

Late November 2025 feels different from previous memecoin cycles. The projects succeeding aren’t just lucky with timing. They’re combining genuine utility with memecoin energy in ways that create actual staying power.

AI agents that trade based on sentiment. Staking mechanisms that generate sustainable yield. Gaming integrations that give holders something to do beyond watching charts. Payment infrastructure disguised as memecoins. These aren’t replacing pure speculation plays. They’re carving out a parallel track.

Pure hype coins still pump. Dog pictures still go viral. But the staying power increasingly belongs to projects that give holders more than hope. They’re offering actual product-market fit wrapped in memecoin branding and retail accessibility.

The supercycle everyone predicted for 2025 isn’t ending. It’s evolving. The coins that survive into 2026 won’t be the funniest or most viral. They’ll be the ones that figured out how to blend speculation with substance.

Building the Next Generation

For those thinking about launching projects rather than just trading them, the infrastructure landscape is rapidly maturing. The gap between professional launches and amateur attempts keeps widening.

Rocket Suite provides deployment tools for Ethereum and Base with volume optimization across BNB Chain, Solana, Plasma, Base, Ethereum, and XRP. As the memecoin sector evolves toward AI integration and actual utility, launch execution quality becomes increasingly critical.

The projects capturing sustainable attention aren’t just viral memes. They’re well-executed tokens with professional volume strategies, community engagement plans, and at least minimal functional utility. The standards keep rising. The capital keeps flowing toward projects that meet those standards.

The memecoin launches succeeding in late 2025 understood this shift early. They didn’t just copy what worked in 2021. They adapted to what the market demands now: speculation with substance, hype with functionality, memes that actually do something.

The Bottom Line

AI memecoins, strategic presales, Solana’s endless launch pipeline, and narrative-driven attention capture. These aren’t separate trends. They’re different expressions of the same evolution: memecoins growing up without losing their speculative soul.

The opportunity has never been bigger. Neither has the noise. The projects printing millionaires are the ones that figured out how to combine genuine utility with memecoin energy. Pure speculation still works for quick flips. But sustainable wealth is flowing to coins that offer holders something more than a funny picture and a dream.

My group chat member who found PEPENODE at 847% gains? He’s already rotating profits into three other AI-integrated memecoins positioned for similar runs. Not because he’s smarter than everyone else. Just because he recognized the pattern shift before it became obvious.

The supercycle is evolving. The question is whether you’re evolving with it or still buying dog pictures hoping for another 2021.

Surviving the Meme Apocalypse: Key Factors Behind Memecoin Longevity — Spotlight on BAMBITZ

In the volatile world of Solana memecoins, survival is rare and unforgiving. Since the start of 2024, over 32 million tokens have been launched on Solana alone, but data shows that around 97% of memecoins fail or become inactive within months. Many fall victim to rug pulls, fading hype, or market oversaturation, resulting in a digital graveyard of abandoned projects. Yet, a handful endure, transforming from fleeting trends into sustainable ecosystems with lasting appeal.

Enter BAMBITZ ($BAM), a music-driven memecoin that fair-launched on Solana in September 2025. Centered around a virtual panda band that releases original tracks on Spotify, BAMBITZ converts music streams and revenue into token burns, creating a deflationary model that merges meme culture with Web3 music innovation. Amongst the less than 8% of Solana memecoins that survive beyond 60 days after launch, as of November 2025, with an active community on X, ongoing discussions about its unique utility and a new single release “Never Compromised” journaling its meme coin journey, BAMBITZ is emerging as a potential long-term player. But what sets survivors like it apart from the vast majority that fade? Below, we explore the critical factors for memecoin longevity, using BAMBITZ as a case study.

1. Community Engagement: The Foundation of Sustained Interest

A memecoin’s lifespan hinges on its community. Without dedicated supporters on platforms like X and Telegram, projects lose momentum quickly, as organic promotion, retention, and resistance to fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) dry up.

Why it matters: High failure rates, often exceeding 97%, stem from evaporating initial excitement without ongoing involvement. Successful projects build loyalty through events, rewards, and shared stories.

BAMBITZ in action: Through its #Listen2Burn mechanism, fans become active participants — streaming tracks on Spotify earns $BAM rewards while contributing to token burns. Recent X threads from community members and promoters emphasize this as a “movement for artist-friendly Web3,” with posts garnering views and discussions that highlight its collaborative vibe. The project currently fosters growth via bounties, lore contests and updates to their active followers and holders on X and Telegram.

2. Utility Beyond the Meme: Building Real Value

Purely speculative memecoins often burn out like fireworks. Longevity requires tangible utility, such as staking, NFTs, or integrations that provide ongoing value and encourage holding beyond short-term gains.

Why it matters: Projects with built-in utility tend to outlast speculation-only tokens, shifting the focus from gambling to ecosystem building. Research indicates that memecoins lacking utility face significantly higher failure rates.

BAMBITZ in action: Billed as the “world’s first music-fueled memecoin,” BAMBITZ directs 50% of music revenue — from Spotify streams, sales, and licenses — toward buying and burning $BAM tokens. This creates a self-reinforcing cycle: more streams lead to more burns and scarcity. Holders can engage by streaming tracks like “Andy Andy” and “Never Compromised,” blending entertainment with economic incentives. Future plans include virtual and even IRL concerts.

3. Tokenomics: Prioritizing Scarcity and Fairness

Effective tokenomics, including burns, supply locks, and transparent launches, help prevent dumps and promote stability. Poorly designed mechanics often invite exploitation and rapid devaluation.

Why it matters: Sound tokenomics enable projects to weather market corrections and build trust, contrasting with the dilution that dooms many memecoins.

BAMBITZ in action: With a total supply of 1 billion $BAM and no VC pre-mines or presales, 76% of tokens were allocated directly to the community via Jupiter DEX. Its deflationary burns are tied to real-world music revenue, ensuring organic scarcity. Liquidity remains stable through pools on Meteora, supporting low-fee trades.

4. Liquidity and Market Access: Enabling Accessibility and Trust

Robust liquidity on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and potential centralized exchange (CEX) listings reduces volatility and attracts larger investors. Transparency, audits, and clear roadmaps further deter scams.

Why it matters: Shallow liquidity invites manipulation, while strong access builds confidence and scalability.

BAMBITZ in action: Post-launch, $BAM integrated with Meteora’s Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker (DLMM) and Jupiter for seamless, low-cost trading on Solana. The project emphasizes legitimacy through doxxed roadmaps and community-driven growth, easy access on popular DEXs like Dexscreener, DexTools and others.

5. External Factors: Market Sentiment, Regulations, and Blockchain Advantages

Broader market trends, regulatory shifts, and blockchain-specific benefits play a pivotal role. Solana’s high speed and low fees, for instance, have fueled meme activity, but scandals can erase gains.

Why it matters: Bull markets can amplify growth, while downturns test resilience. Solana’s ecosystem has seen explosive token creation, but only utility-focused projects thrive long-term.

BAMBITZ in action: Leveraging Solana’s efficiency, BAMBITZ avoids common pitfalls with ethical, artist-centric mechanics. Community narratives on X position it as “where memes meet music,” riding the platform’s meme wave while focusing on sustainable utility.

The BAMBITZ Blueprint: A Path to Endurance

BAMBITZ demonstrates that memecoins can evolve beyond hype by combining community, utility, and innovative tokenomics — echoing successes like BONK’s incentives and WIF’s viral appeal. For investors and creators, the lesson is clear: Focus on genuine value over quick flips. Engage with BAMBITZ by streaming on Spotify, joining the X community (@BambitzRecords) or the Telegram community (@OfficialBambitz) or holding $BAM to participate in burns. In a landscape where most projects fade within 60 days, BAMBITZ shows that the right rhythm can create lasting impact.
