Meme & Prediction Market Analysis
Co-Founder @ArcanaNote
Collect, dismantle, and assemble information.
Interpolate the data and extrapolate the future.
All prices are driven by information.
People react to information.
Information creates demand, and demand creates price.
Therefore, those who control information dictate demand and, ultimately, determine the price.
In other words, Information governs price.
Humans react to what they know.
Information sparks demand, and demand sets the market value.
Control the flow of information, and you control both demand and price
After dabbling in meme coins, spot trading, perpetual futures, and prediction markets, I’ve realized one thing: all trading is the same at its core, despite the different forms.
Prices move based on information and expectations. Ultimately, all trading is a form of prediction.
TODAY: Polymarket is launching a token!
CMO Matthew Modabber confirms a native $POLY token and an upcoming airdrop, with a new funding round reportedly valuing the platform as high as $15B.
[Pumpfun's Greed and Weakness: $PUMP]
Pumpfun did not conduct an airdrop even after the $PUMP TGE. The Pumpfun founders are too greedy. Therefore, their goals and plans can be broadly estimated.
Despite holding nearly $2B in cash, their desire for money remains unfulfilled. The more money one has, the more one tends to crave. For them, $PUMP is a rising ticket that can yield a 10-figure profit. For alon and the Pumpfun team, $PUMP is everything now. The $PUMP token is Pumpfun's greed, ambition, and weakness.
Their ambition is also evident in the consideration of a DAT. Plans to continuously raise the $PUMP price through a DAT are visible. They have also mentioned referencing the @Hyperliquid model. They likely saw Hyperliquid's token, $HYPE, surpassing a FDV of over $40B and thought $PUMP could achieve the same.
In their minds, $PUMP has already become the token that will make them 10-figure fortunes, like the future $HYPE, by reaching over $40B. Therefore, Pumpfun's goal is to raise the $PUMP token to over $10B to enrich themselves.
They executed their plan from the beginning. alon induced a dump of $PUMP by stating in an interview with ThreadGuy that there would be no airdrop in the near future. After the dumping by disappointed insiders or VCs, they continued to acquire $PUMP supply under the pretext of Pumpfun buybacks.
The Pumpfun side claimed the $PUMP buyback was an incentive for Pumpfun users, but the hidden agenda was merely a strategy to continuously secure their own $PUMP supply. Pumpfun continued to secure $PUMP supply through buybacks and attempted to raise the $PUMP price through the CCM meta and other updates that they firmly believed to be the future of Pumpfun. However, the $PUMP price boost through the CCM meta and other updates failed miserably. It merely concluded as a simple pump-and-dump.
The upward-sloping chart like $HYPE, which they had envisioned, was not created. This was a natural result. The structure that imposes high fees on traders and grants fees to scammers quickly depletes the liquidity of the Solana meme market while accelerating the departure of retail investors.
Furthermore, as more attractive markets like Aster or the BNB meme market emerged, $PUMP's liquidity rapidly flowed out. The Pumpfun founders have yet to realize what is important. They always emphasize community, but they have not truly understood what community means.
What they should have done was to immediately conduct an airdrop after the $PUMP TGE to solidify the commitment of users to remain on Pumpfun. However, their greed dragged their ambition, the price boost of $PUMP, down to the basement. No matter what they update in the future, without the Pumpfun airdrop, the price will not trend upwards like Hyperliquid's $HYPE. Only meaningless pump-and-dumps that last for only a few days will continue.
[Pumpfun's Upward Future: Pumpfun Airdrop]
It is not too late, even now. If Pumpfun conducts an airdrop, it could follow a model similar to $HYPE and strengthen community cohesion. However, the problem is that they are greedy and reluctant to even distribute a small airdrop. To gain momentum, they must not be stingy about sharing something with users.
Time is still passing.
Tick-tock. Tick-tock.
The longer Pumpfun delays the airdrop, the less ground it has to stand on. Pumpfun's competitor is not merely Bonk Fun. It is every market other than Pumpfun. Puffdex, stablecoins, prediction markets, Kaito Yaping. The more Pumpfun hesitates with the airdrop and delays with useless updates, the more they will lose their community and their trading volume will hit rock bottom. They must keep in mind that their competitors are other, more attractive markets.
[Pump Fun's Gloomy Present: Depletion of Liquidity in the Solana Meme Market]
Currently, memes are no longer an attractive element.
This is especially true for Solana memes.
The Solana meme market is dying because @pumpdotfun has been ignoring the $PUMP airdrop distribution for over four months since its TGE instead of paying it out immediately.
The meme liquidity on the Solana chain has dried up.
The Solana meme market, led by Pumpfun, has not had a runner with a market cap exceeding $100M in the past few months.
Useless updates, such as the CCM meta and Dynamic Fee V1, which increase the burden on traders and accelerate extraction from the Solana meme market, have caused the market to become progressively drier.
[Pumpfun's Competitor: The Rise of the BNB Meme Market]
On the other hand, the BNB meme market was different this time.
Binance had many cards.
Binance has several tools to attract retail investors and whales, including the Binance app, Binance Alpha, and listings on Binance Spot and Futures markets.
Furthermore, CZ himself is the number one crypto KOL and is actively shilling memes.
The BNB meme market, led by @cz_binance , created several $500M runners like 4 and Binance Life, and other $100M memes in less than a week.
This is a complete contrast to the dead Solana meme market, where @a1lon9 has continuously extracted value.
The things Alon possesses are the useless Pumpfun app, which is unnecessary if you're not trading on Pumpfun, a streaming feature no one cares about, increased creator fees, and MEXC exchange listings, etc.
He has only picked the wrong answers.
[Pumpfun's True Competitors: Other Markets]
Despite this, Pumpfun founder Alon still insists on not distributing the airdrop and spouts nonsense that the Solana on-chain ecosystem is alive.
Alon has yet to wake up from a child's delusion.
Pumpfun's competitors are no longer launchpads on the same Solana chain, such as Bonkfun.
The rivals Pumpfun must now face are other competitive venues like @KaitoAI Yapping, perpdex, and prediction markets.
Memes launched from Pumpfun no longer surpass $1B like the previous Moodeng and Pnut.
This is because not only large VCs and Market Makers but also retail investors have become tired of Pumpfun and left.
Without a form of return like an airdrop, the platform has only increased trader fatigue and retail stress by introducing things like the CCM meta and Dynamic Fee V1, handing money to scammers.
The Pumpfun meme market is no longer a place of dreams.
It is no longer a place of hope and dreams where one buys at a low market cap and achieves the dream of quitting their job by reaching a $1B market cap.
Now, it has become a market where buying Pumpfun memes only leads to losing money.
There is no longer any incentive to trade memes launched from Pumpfun.
Retail investors have gone to do Kaito Yaping for risk-free, high-yield opportunities instead of trading Pumpfun memes.
This is because Kaito Yaping is a high-yield task where one simply receives tokens by wasting time and writing posts.
The Pumpfun meme market is no longer attractive to retail investors with small amounts of capital.
They tried the Pumpfun memes, were all scammed by the CCM scammers encouraged by alon, deleted the Pumpfun app, and left.
Sniping, bundling, farming, and rug pulls happen every 5 seconds on Pumpfun. It is a market too overwhelming for retail investors to handle.
Ultimately, the perception of Pumpfun has changed to that of a mere gambling app that is nothing more than a money-destroyer.
[Pumpfun's Bleak Future: The Rise of Prediction Markets]
Memes -> Prediction Markets
The major shift in the market will be the movement of liquidity from memes to prediction markets.
As mentioned above, memes are no longer attractive.
One must worry about the rapidly changing ups and downs of charts, which are heavily affected by the state of the market.
While profits can be made when the market is good, charts are easily destroyed when the market is bad, making losses more likely than gains.
Prediction markets, on the other hand, are different.
Prediction markets focus on the outcome of events, so they are not affected by charts.
This means there is an opportunity to make a profit regardless of market conditions.
In this regard, prediction markets are a superior alternative to the meme market.
There is no longer a need to be manipulated by scammers and bots in memecoins.
Furthermore, giant VCs are continuously increasing their investment in prediction markets.
This is worth more than the $2B in cash held by Pumpfun and the value of $PUMP itself.
They are continuously making large investments and laying the groundwork to take a slice of the meme market.
The decline of the Pumpfun meme market is approaching.
[제로섬 게임]
암호화폐 시장은 순환한다. 그리고 제로섬 게임이다.
어찌보면 당연한다. 화폐의 전체 통화량은 정해져 있고, 이에 따라 시장의 자본은 한정적이다.
따라서 누군가 수익을 보면 누군가 손해를 본다.
국가, 거래소, VC, 고래, 개미 그 누구의 돈이든 전체 수익과 손해의 합은 0이다.
플러스 마이너스는 0이다.
[유동성의 순환]
우리 모두는 끊임없이 암호화폐를 법정화폐로 바꾸기 위한 싸움을 하고 있다.
우리의 최종 목표는 이 시장에서 코인이라는 물건을 최대한 많은 법정화폐 (달러)로 물물교환 (스왑)하는 것이다.
여기서 문제는 시장이 순환한다는 것이다. 시장은 유동성이 몰리는 곳으로 이동한다.
[회전 자본 시장]
Defi -> NFT -> Meme -> Perpdex -> Stable -> Prediction Market -> ?
시장의 유동성은 회전한다.
오른쪽 시장으로 갈수록 유동성이 몰리며, 왼쪽 시장으로 갈수록 유동성이 바닥나고 있다.
왜 이런 현상이 발생하는가?
이유는 단순하다.
왼쪽 시장으로 갈수록 해당 시장이 사기와 허상으로 점철된 거품이었음을 모두가 깨달았기 때문이다.
암호화폐 시장 참여자들은 돈을 벌기 위해 암호화폐 시장에 참여한다.
따라서 돈을 벌 수 없는 시장은 그들에게 매력적이지 않다.
한때 큰 유동성을 모으며 불장을 이끌던 Defi와 NFT 시장은 현재 죽었다.
완전히 개념이 사라진 건 아니지만 그 누구도 큰 돈을 벌기 위해 Defi와 NFT 시장에 뛰어들지 않는다.
왜냐하면 이미 모두가 그 시장이 돈이 안 되는 거품이라는 걸 깨달았기 때문이다.
더 이상 많은 리테일들과 VC들은 이런 죽은 시장에 머물지 않는다.
반면에 기관과 VC들이 오른쪽으로 갈수록 몰리고 있다.
새로운 시장은 그들에게는 리테일들을 끌어들일 수 있는 새로운 먹거리다.
큰 투자자들이 몰리는 곳에는 리테일들의 유동성도 몰린다.
암호화폐 시장 참여자들은 새로운 것에 반응하고, 항상 돈을 벌기 위해 움직이기 때문이다.
[유동성 유인의 필연적인 문제점]
어떤 시장으로 리테일들을 끌어들이려면 성공 신화가 필요하다.
기관과 VC들의 선행 투자만으로 부족하다.
아까 말했듯이 이 시장은 제로섬 게임이다.
매수를 하려면 매도가 있어야 하고, 매도를 하려면 매수가 있어야 한다.
시장에 참여하는 플레이어 수가 적으면 얻을 수 있는 수익에 한계가 있다.
플레이어가 적은 시장은 매력적이지 않다.
그렇기에 리테일들을 끌어모을 성공 신화를 비롯한 꿈을 퍼뜨리는 게 중요하다.
그 시장이 높은 수익성이 있는 시장이라는 게 널리 알려지면 자연스럽게 암호화폐 시장의 대다수가 참여하기 위해 달려든다.
유동성 흐름이란 마치 다단계와 같다.
[효과적인 제품 홍보 패턴]
1. 성공 신화 (에어드랍, 매우 높은 수익)
2. FOMO
3. 방법 공유
4. 바이럴 및 열풍
5. 정착
대개 효과적인 제품/시장 홍보 방법은 위 절차를 따른다.
더 상세하게 풀어 쓰면 다음과 같다.
1. 성공 신화
먼저 초기 기여자들에게 큰 에어드랍을 주거나, 매우 높은 수익을 본 사람을 탄생시켜 성공 신화를 만든다.
그리고 에어드랍 시즌2를 기약하거나 더 큰 상승률을 안겨 주는 제품들을 끊임없이 출시한다.
이는 다음에 이어질 FOMO로 이어진다.
2. FOMO
초기에 높은 수익을 기록한 사람들은 지속적으로 FOMO를 불러일으키기 위해 지속적으로 관련 게시글을 올려 노출시킨다.
이러한 성공 신화와 지속적인 관련 게시글의 노출은 다른 시장 참여자들에게 FOMO를 일으킨다.
당장 이 사장에 참여하지 않으면 뒤처져서 큰 수익을 보지 못 할 거라는 욕망에 휩싸이게 만든다.
이 단계는 참여 방법만 알려주면 바로 시장에 뛰어들 잠재적인 시장 참여자들이 대거 양성되는 단계다.
일명 과대 광고의 전초 단계다.
3. 방법 공유
FOMO가 시장에 충분히 뿌리가 내리면 어떻게 그 제품/시장에 참여하여 수익을 낼 수 있는지 방법이 공유되기 시작한다.
대개는 큰 수익을 내어 성공 신화를 만든 사람들이 본인들이 큰 수익을 낼 수 있었던 방법을 공유하는 단계다.
보통은 플랫폼을 이용하는 방법에 대해 공유한다.
에어드랍이라면 파밍 방법을, NFT라면 NFT를 NFT 마켓플레이스에서 거래하는 방법을, 밈코인이라면 밈코인 런치패드에서 거래하는 방법 등을 알려준다.
이때 방법을 공유한 사람들은 레퍼럴을 공유해 포인트, 토큰 등 부가적인 수입을 얻어 자산 증식을 가속한다.
4. 바이럴 및 열풍
입소문을 타며 소문을 퍼뜨린 주체들이 아니라, 새로 입문한 자들이 스스로 홍보를 하는 바이럴 단계이다.
이때 바이러스와 같이 여러 주체가 동시에 입을 모으며 게시글을 통해 과대 광고를 하며 암호화폐 시장에서의 노출도를 높여간다.
이로 인한 더 많은 과대 광고로 참여와 거래량이 촉발되며 제품의 수입도 차트도 계속해서 올라간다.
이것이 다시 더 증폭된 FOMO와 제품 노출도를 불러일으키며 선순환 구조를 만든다.
모두가 다가올 희망찬 미래의 큰 수익을 꿈꾸며 끝없이 우상향 하는 차트, 수익을 보며 즐긴다.
이때는 제품의 파운더나 참여자들 모두가 환희에 가득 차 있다.
그러나 모두가 수익을 보는 즐거움은 영원히 지속되지 않는다. 여긴 제로섬 게임이다.
에어드랍 시즌2, 3... 토큰의 우상향
이는 모두 과대 광고가 지속되고 유동성이 계속 머물며 유입될 때는 유효했던 시기이다.
유동성이 이탈하기 시작하는 전환점에서 해당 제품과 시장은 심판의 대에 오른다.
5. 정착
제품, 시장의 지속성을 판결하는 심판의 단계다.
꾸준히 시장 참여자들을 유인할 제품인지 아닌지가 여기서 판가름된다.
보통은 다른 제품 및 시장의 매력도가 커지게 될 때 이 단계에서 심판을 받는다.
과대 광고가 사그라들고 다른 제품과 시장으로 유동성이 이탈하게 되면 예상 에어드랍 보상 수량이 점점 줄어들고, 토큰의 차트가 꺾이며 하락하기 시작한다.
그러면 그 제품에 대한 의구심이 들기 시작한다.
대개는 대부분의 제품과 시장이 이 단계에서 실패를 맛본다.
왜냐하면 제품의 대다수가 일시적인 과대 광고에 의존하고 있기 때문이다.
다른 시장의 매력에 순간적으로 유동성을 앗아갈 정도면 결국 그 제품과 시장은 휘발성 과대 광고 빼고는 아무것도 없다는 걸 반증한다.
하지만 이 시장의 유동성은 과대 광고로 인한 유입에 의존한다.
그렇다면 실패한 제품과 시장들의 문제점은 무엇일까?
그건 바로 지속적인 과대 광고를 만들어 내지 못 했기 때문이다.
다른 시장에 유동성 파이를 내주지 않기 위해서는 제품 및 시장의 매력도를 점진적으로 올려야 한다.
제품이라면 어느 제품보다도 간편한 사용자 친화적인 UI, 안정적인 구동 환경, 꾸준한 소통, 더 낮은 수수료, 여타 제품보다 높은 보상 (에어드랍).
이 모든 걸 유기적으로 연계하며 끝없는 플라이휠을 돌려 끝없는 과대 광고를 만들어야 한다.
비로소 이게 이루어질 때만 시장 참여자들의 '정착'이 성공적으로 이루어진다.
여기서 정착한 시장 참여자는 고정 이용자가 되고, 이는 곧이어 제품 및 시장의 지속적인 수입원이 된다.
이를 다른 말로 '커뮤니티'라고 한다. 충성 이용자가 있는 커뮤니티는 매우 강력하다.
그들은 가만히 있지 않고, 스스로 다른 이들을 끌어들여 몸 담고 있는 시장의 크기를 키우는 데 일조한다.
암호화폐 시장에서 매우 중요한 이들이다. 최대한 많은 시장 참여자들을 정착시켜서 고정 이용자로 만드는 게 최종 목표다.
여기서 중요한 점은 보상을 멈추면 안 된다.
환원, 보상이 없는 제품, 시장은 매력이 없다. 다른 수익성, 보상이 높은 곳이 나오면 그저 이탈할뿐이다.
계속되는 에어드랍, 페이백, 수익성 높은 제품이 나와야 많은 이용자들을 유치하고 성장할 수 있다.
보상 -> 과대 광고 -> 보상 예고 -> ...
이 절차를 계속해서 유지해야 한다.
[최근 유동성 흐름 상황]
(시장의 흐름)
Perpdex -> Meme -> Stable
(제품의 흐름)
Aster -> BNB 밈
최근 유동성은 흐름은 위와 같다.
시장은 퍼프덱스에서 밈으로, 밈에서 스테이블로 넘어가는 추세다.
제품은 바이낸스가 밀어주는 퍼프덱스인 Aster에서 BNB 밈으로 넘어갔다.
위 유동성의 흐름은 '효과적인 제품 홍보 패턴'에서 말한 패턴을 그대로 따라갔다.
큰 규모의 에어드랍, 다음 에어드랍 예고.
바이낸스 알파, 바이낸스 현물 & 선물 상장 등.
그들은 보상 -> 과대 광고 -> 보상 예고 구조를 파악하고 손쉽게 이행했다.
그 결과 다른 시장에서는 볼 수 없던 거대한 유동성을 유치하고 유지하기가 가능했다.
[밈 시장의 현재 상황 : BNB 밈의 흥행 / SOL 밈의 몰락]
SOL -> XPL -> BNB
더 이상 밈코인은 솔라나 체인만의 전유물이 아니다.
솔라나 체인은 유동성이 갈수록 고갈되고 있다.
솔라나 밈코인 거래자들도 이젠 솔라나에만 남아 있지 않는다.
이번 XPL, BNB 밈코인 불장을 보았듯이 사람들은 다른 체인으로 브릿지 하는데 거리낌이 없어졌다.
이젠 솔라나의 주요 런치패드인 펌프펀은 수수료 추출만 하고 에어드랍 같은 환원은 하고 있지 않다.
이게 시장 참여자들이 다른 체인으로 쉽게 넘어가는 주요 원인이다.
모두가 솔라나에 질렸다.
[예측 시장의 현재 상황 : 유동성의 부족]
거대 기업들이 예측 시장에 대한 투자를 늘리고 있다.
향후 크게 성장할 시장으로 기대된다.
그러나 중대한 문제점이 있다.
아직 유동성이 부족한다.
알다시피 여긴 제로섬 게임이다.
수익을 크게 내려면 많은 참가자가 많은 돈을 걸어야 한다.
매수를 크게 하고 싶어도 매도자가 적으면 거래가 성사되지 않는다.
이게 예측 시장의 해결 과제다.
최대한 많은 유동성을 끌어오는 것.
플레이어들을 많이 유치해야 한다.
[Zero-Sum Game]
The cryptocurrency market is cyclical and, at its core, a zero-sum game. This is a given. The total supply of currency is fixed, and the capital within the market is therefore limited. Consequently, for someone to profit, someone else must lose. The combined total of all profits and losses—whether from nations, exchanges, VCs, whales, or retail investors—is zero. Plus and minus equal zero.
[The Cycle of Liquidity]
We are all constantly fighting to exchange our cryptocurrencies for fiat currency. Our ultimate goal is to swap as many of our crypto assets for fiat currency (like USD) as possible within this market. The problem is that the market is cyclical. Liquidity flows to wherever it is being directed.
[Rotation capital markets]
DeFi -> NFT -> Meme -> Perpdex -> Stable -> Prediction Market -> ?
Market liquidity rotates. As liquidity moves to the markets on the right, it drains from the markets on the left. Why does this happen? The reason is simple.
As you move left, everyone realizes that those markets were bubbles filled with scams and illusions. Participants in the crypto market join to make money, and a market where they can't make money is not attractive.
The DeFi and NFT markets, which once attracted massive liquidity and led bull runs, are now dead. Their concepts haven't completely disappeared, but no one is jumping into them to make big money anymore. This is because everyone has realized they are unprofitable bubbles. Most retail investors and VCs no longer stay in these dead markets.
Conversely, institutions and VCs are increasingly moving to the right. New markets are new opportunities for them to attract retail investors. Where big investors go, retail liquidity follows. Crypto market participants are always looking for new things and moving toward where the money is.
The Inevitable Problem of Attracting Liquidity
To attract retail investors to a market, you need a success story. Preliminary investments from institutions and VCs aren't enough. As mentioned before, this is a zero-sum game. For there to be a buyer, there must be a seller, and vice versa. When there are fewer players in a market, there's a limit to the potential profit. A market with a small number of players isn't attractive.
Therefore, it's crucial to spread dreams and success stories to draw in retail investors. When a market is widely known to be highly profitable, the majority of crypto participants will rush to join. The flow of liquidity is like a multi-level marketing scheme.
[An Effective Product Promotion Pattern]
An effective method for promoting a product or market generally follows these steps:
1. Success Story (Airdrops, High Profits)
2. FOMO
3. Method Sharing
4. Viral Spread and Frenzy
5. Entrenchment
Let's break down these steps in more detail:
1. Success Story
First, a success story is created by giving large airdrops to early contributors or by showcasing people who have made huge profits. They also continuously launch products that promise a 'season 2' of airdrops or even bigger gains. This leads to the next step: FOMO.
2.FOMO
Those who made high profits early on continually post about their success to trigger FOMO. This exposure to success stories and constant related posts creates a sense of 'Fear Of Missing Out' in other market participants. They become consumed with the desire to join right away, believing they will be left behind and miss out on big profits if they don't. This phase is where a large number of potential participants, ready to jump in as soon as they know how, are generated. It's the prelude to hype.
3. Method Sharing
Once FOMO has taken root, people start sharing how to participate in the product or market and make a profit. Typically, those who created the success stories share the methods that made them successful. They explain how to use the platform—farming methods for airdrops, trading NFTs on a marketplace, or trading meme coins on a launchpad. At this stage, those who share these methods often use referral links to get bonus income (like points or tokens) and accelerate their own asset growth.
4. Viral Spread and Frenzy
This is the stage where the new participants themselves become the promoters, not just the original rumor spreaders.
Like a virus, many individuals start advertising the product through their posts, increasing its exposure in the crypto market. This leads to more hype, which in turn fuels more participation and trading volume, causing the product's value and chart to climb. This creates a virtuous cycle of amplified FOMO and product exposure.
Everyone enjoys watching the chart and their profits rise endlessly, dreaming of a bright future with huge gains. At this point, the founders and participants of the product are filled with euphoria.
However, the joy of everyone making a profit doesn't last forever. This is a zero-sum game. 'Season 2' and 'Season 3' of airdrops and rising token prices are only effective as long as the hype and liquidity inflow continue. At the point where liquidity starts to exit, the product and market face a reckoning.
5. Entrenchment
This is the decisive phase that determines the product or market's sustainability. It reveals whether it can consistently attract participants or not. Typically, this judgment happens when another market becomes more attractive.
When the hype dies down and liquidity starts to move elsewhere, the expected airdrop rewards begin to shrink, and the token chart starts to decline. This is when people begin to have doubts.Most products and markets fail at this stage because the majority of them rely on temporary hype.
If a market can instantly lose its liquidity to the appeal of another, it proves it has nothing but volatile hype. And yet, this market's liquidity depends on hype-driven inflows.
So, what's the problem with these failed products and markets? They failed to generate sustained hype. To prevent losing liquidity to other markets, a product or market's appeal must be progressively enhanced. This means a user-friendly UI, a stable operating environment, consistent communication, lower fees, and higher rewards (airdrops) than competitors.
All of these must be organically linked to create an endless flywheel of hype. Only when this is achieved can the entrenchment of market participants be successful. These entrenched participants become loyal users, which in turn becomes a sustainable source of income for the product and market. This is also known as a community. A community with loyal users is very powerful. They don't just sit still; they actively help grow the market they are a part of by attracting others. These are crucial players in the crypto market. The ultimate goal is to get as many participants as possible to become entrenched as loyal users.
It's important to remember that the rewards can't stop. A product or market without rewards is not appealing. If a new opportunity with higher profits or rewards appears, people will simply leave. To attract and retain a large user base, you need continuous airdrops, cashbacks, and high-profit products. This cycle of rewards -> hype -> reward announcements -> ... must be maintained.
[Current Liquidity Flow]
(Market Flow)
Perpdex -> Meme -> Stable
(Product Flow)
@Aster_DEX -> @BNBCHAIN Meme
The recent liquidity flow follows the pattern described above. The market trend is shifting from Perpdex to Meme, and then from Meme to Stable. In terms of products, liquidity moved from the Binance-backed Perpdex, Aster, to BNB Meme.
This liquidity flow perfectly followed the 'Effective Product Promotion Pattern' with large-scale airdrops and announcements of future ones, as well as listings on @binance Spot and Futures.
They understood and easily executed the rewards -> hype -> reward announcement structure. As a result, they were able to attract and maintain a massive amount of liquidity that was unseen in other markets.
The Current State of the Meme Market: The Rise of BNB Memes and the Fall of SOL Memes
SOL -> XPL -> BNB
Meme coins are no longer exclusive to the Solana chain. @solana's liquidity is drying up. Solana meme coin traders are no longer staying only on Solana. With the recent bull run of XPL and BNB meme coins, people have become comfortable bridging to other chains.
Solana's main launchpad, @pumpdotfun, now only extracts fees and doesn't offer airdrops or other rewards. This is a major reason why market participants are easily moving to other chains. Everyone has grown tired of Solana.
@a1lon9 killed the Pumpfun and Solana memes..
$PUMP finally under investigation in America. I warned you all about this last year. The platform encourages scamming.
“A marriage between content and securities fraud”
Won’t be surprised if the founders are forced to pay back $700m in fees to victims.
