In 2026, the Chinese Meme coin scene is once again showcasing new tricks. The social media topic "My 2026 Fortune" suddenly gave rise to a similarly named token, with players jokingly saying "Drawing lots is mining, luck turns into assets." This new approach, blending folk culture with crypto speculation, sparks curiosity: has Chinese Meme truly evolved from a "pure wealth dream" into a new stage of "cultural empowerment"?

Looking back at 2025, a major exchange launched a life-themed coin that skyrocketed over ten thousand times in just five days, shocking the market and proving the global appeal of Chinese narratives. But the "Fortune" gameplay is even more interesting—it doesn't rely on exchange traffic support but is rooted in the short video ecosystem, directly bringing traditional folk symbols onto the blockchain. Public chains like Base and Solana are sensing the trend, with officials also jumping into the meme game, such as Solana's launch of "SolaLa," clearly vying for the attention of Chinese-speaking users.

But here’s the problem. While meme play is fun, reality remains. Historical data shows that most Chinese Meme coins have very short lifespans. For example, the life-themed coin from a major exchange plummeted over 24% in a single day after the "spot market expectations" failed to materialize. If projects like "Fortune" only stay at emotional stimulation and speculative hype, they are likely to face the same fate of "momentary popularity."

To truly break out of the circle, Chinese Meme coins need to consider one key question: how to balance cultural emotional resonance with real long-term value. When "drawing lots" is no longer just gambling but a genuine bridge connecting offline experiences and building digital identities, the narrative power of the East can truly shake up the crypto landscape.

Another phrase of "cultural empowerment," but honestly, it's just hype. --- Lucky draw coin? It can multiply ten thousand times? Why don't I have that luck? --- The short video ecosystem is indeed fresh, but I've heard too many stories of it crashing right after. --- Solana is competing for Chinese-speaking users, but why not say that those who get exploited are also Chinese-speaking users? --- Cultural resonance is just cultural resonance. I only care about how long this thing can hold. --- Turning luck into assets? I think it's more like assets turning into air. --- The recent plunge of Life Coin is the real reflection, so why would this time be any different? --- No more complaints. I just watch these kinds of coins for fun; those who invest are all gamblers. --- To shake up the crypto world, there must be practical applications. Relying solely on folk customs is not enough. --- The myth of ten thousand times in five days is just a negative example.

It's just another new disguise for a round of rug pulling. --- To put it simply, there still needs to be a real application scenario, otherwise it's all castles in the air. --- How long can folk memes stay popular? Just look at those coins from earlier to know. --- The phrase "fortune turning into assets" is really misleading. --- Relying on short video ecosystems to attract traffic just to be considered valuable? That's hilarious. --- The key is whether anyone is actually using it, not whether people are just speculating. --- The ceiling for Meme coins is right there; recognizing reality is more important than believing stories. --- In my opinion, cultural empowerment is all talk later; initially, it's just pure speculation. --- Lottery mining sounds good, but who will be the bagholder? --- It would be interesting if this wave also drops 24% in value. --- It seems every new concept coin says the same, but what’s the result? --- The true value should be able to support the price, not the other way around.

Lucky draw coins are back. Can they really survive more than three months this time? I bet five bucks, and it's another good show --- Basically, it's just rebranding hype, folklore memes wrapped in crypto shells, the same old tricks --- Short video ecosystem + on-chain speculation, this combo is indeed eye-catching, but the lesson from the 24-hour wipeout is still fresh --- Cultural empowerment? Bro, are you trying to make me laugh to death or what? It's clearly just another name for FOMO --- Even Solana's official team has stepped in, what does that mean? Chinese-speaking users' money is easy to make --- Wait, if this thing can truly connect offline experiences, that would be interesting. It's still too early to judge --- Historical data is right here: ten Chinese Meme coins, nine are just chives for harvesting --- Lucky draw equals mining. I give this copy full marks, but my wallet gives zero --- It feels like taking the joy of temple fairs and copying it into blockchain to scam people—ridiculous enough --- To live longer, it needs real use cases; otherwise, it's just a fleeting moment of fame

lmao "governance attack vectors" meets fortune telling... this is peak protocol chaos. cultural narratives as economic exploits, honestly genius in the most broken way possible.

Here we go again with the pump-and-dump, "Fortune Turns into Assets" sounds so nice --- Lottery drawing as mining? I saw this trick last year, and it all ended in a mess --- Can Chinese memes really break out of the circle, or is it just another wave of emotional trading --- Even Solana has exited the scene, this time it feels a bit different --- Thinking every day about how to balance value, but isn't it just about how to cut more thoroughly --- Short video ecosystem + folk symbols, quite cleverly combined, just worried it might be a flash in the pan --- A 24-hour plunge of over 24%? Is this what "cultural empowerment" means? Laughable --- Wait a minute, now even "Shang Shang Qian" can be on-chain, what else can't be tokenized? --- Looks innovative, but it's still the same old speculative tricks --- Offline experiences, digital identities, and now storytelling begins again

This wave is another emotional market; it will probably cool off in 24 hours. If you don't believe it, check the distribution of holder addresses for those meme coins. Large investors have already sold off at high levels.

Lottery drawing turns into mining, I just smile, still need to see if there are practical applications to support the bottom It's folk customs + coins again, how long can it really stay popular The top sign won't stay hot for a month, once it’s sold out, it’ll pump and then leave Turning luck into assets? Laughable, in the end, luck will turn into losses SolaLa, top sign, public chains are really starting to target Chinese-speaking users' wallets The 24% crash of the Life Coin wave shows exactly when these projects should be abandoned Cultural empowerment sounds good, but it’s really just emotional value; a few months of worth is considered good Short video ecosystem taking root? Basically, it’s just about quick traffic, easy to cut off Without offline experience support, these coins are just a big roulette wheel, once spun, it’s game over Lottery drawing is like mining, or better yet, lottery drawing equals losing mining History tells us that the lifecycle of folk customs-themed coins = the lifespan of a trending search

Lottery coins are back. This time, it feels even more虚 than life coins. How long can folk customs memes last? It's another emotional pump, and we're all tired of the 24-hour plunge show. But to be fair, this time the idea of rooting in the short video ecosystem is indeed bold, and the exchange has become a side player, which is interesting. Wait, can it really connect to offline experiences? I haven't seen it, or is it just another excuse to cut new韭菜? This wave of热度 can最多 last until after the Spring Festival, and then it will gather dust again.
