In the crypto community, the top-tier memecoins often play a special role — serving as a bridge connecting Web2 and Web3, and carrying the flow of capital and culture.
Starting from DOGE back then, and then to PePe later, these memes have fulfilled their missions in their respective eras. Behind every viral memecoin, there reflects the shifting attention and funds from traditional internet to the blockchain world during that period.
When it comes to current popular memecoins, many people are focusing on the HakiMi culture originating from the Japanese anime "Uma Musume." This concept first took root in 2021, gradually evolving through the anime IP. Subsequently, creative content creators on Bilibili produced adaptations like "Two Idiots," which instantly made "HakiMi" a symbolic musical icon, jokingly called "Haozu" by netizens.
Since then, classic tracks like "孤高曼波" (Lone Mambo) have been released one after another, and HakiMi's influence quickly spread from the music scene to the entire short video ecosystem. By 2024, a video of an orange cat posted by several top UP hosts reignited community enthusiasm; the fierce and contrasting orange cat was hailed by fans as "the highest peak in HakiMi history."
Today, this concept has developed into over 100 adaptation works, becoming an important symbol of Chinese online culture, with total views reaching hundreds of billions on the Chinese internet alone.
Looking ahead to the 2026 market, many community members are pondering: Can HakiMi become the next memecoin to break out? Does it have the potential to become the new era's link between culture and capital? The answer to this question may well be hidden in the upcoming market performance.

ngl, this hakimi thing feels like we're watching a farm-to-fork supply chain validation happen in real time... except the farm is a meme and we're all just taste-testing tokenomics without checking the proof-of-freshness first 🤔

Can Hakimi really take over the roles of DOGE and PePe? I'm honestly a bit skeptical about that.

I believe in this wave of Orange Cat. Compared to those mindless hype coins, at least it has cultural heritage behind it. Hundreds of billions of views are not just hype.
