Trump has taken control of the crypto market.

He owns the 12th largest coin worth $15 billion. He attracts the attention of all crypto users. He dominates every coin on the market, doubling his net worth in less than a day. He completely controlled the market until...his wife launched the MELANIA coin, and he launched a "vampire attack" on his own token, causing the TRUMP coin to fall by more than 50%.

It’s not that TRUMP coin is a scam. However, most people agree that the launch of MELANIA Coin was a huge mistake. But this misstep doesn’t mean the end of cryptocurrencies.

In fact it marks a new beginning, the beginning of a crazy cycle. Celebrity memes become the norm and there is no “crime” in cryptocurrencies. Here are 4 key predictions for this cycle and the tokens/ecosystems that will have the biggest impact:

Markets are smarter, Trump memes cool down

Although it’s not certain whether the Trump family will stop posting memes, or if everyone in the family will. However, one thing is clear: there will be diminishing returns with each new token.

The launch of the MELANIA coin was a huge mistake. The valuation of the TRUMP coin is destined to be much higher, perhaps even a DOGE-level valuation. However, Trump insiders showed their cards too early.

As more TRUMP memes are released and perform poorly, traders are expected to look for wider markets and more opportunities for growth.

In the meantime, celebrities will be paying close attention to this golden opportunity...

CelebrityMemes & Rugs

Celebrities will launch their own memecoin. This is not surprising. The market is already expecting this.

But what the market did not expect was the impact of celebrity memecoins on the market.

Although the public is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to Hawk Tuah (HAWK token collapse) and Floyd Mayweather (boxer Floyd Mayweather was involved in promoting the scam project Mayweverse, etc.), it is worthwhile to review some of the past two days. Key data:

• Trump’s meme attracted more than 115,000 new cryptocurrency users (see dashboard below).
• Google searches for cryptocurrencies have soared in the past few days: searches for “Solana” soared to a new high this year, and searches for terms like “Crypto,” “Ethereum” and “Coinbase” have all trended upward this year.

Why is this data so important?

115,000 users is not a small number.

• For reference, 115,000 is 1/2 of Arbitrum’s daily active users and 1/4 of Ethereum’s daily active users.

Google search data indicates a new group of users.

• Old crypto users won’t use Google. They have a link to Coinbase, they know what Solana is, and they search for information on X
• The data also shows that the increase in interest isn’t just limited to Solana, but the crypto space as a whole

Other celebrities may have had a similar impact.

There are many other celebrities with cult followings who, like Trump, can bring hundreds of thousands of users to the chain. For example, Elon Musk, Mr. Beast, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, CR7, Messi, Jeff Bezos.

Just imagine Taylor Swift launched the TSWIFT coin and brought 100,000 to 200,000 new users on the chain. This is equivalent to adding a whole new chain to the cryptocurrency and a whole new planet of users to the solar system.

Although this is all an optimistic view, and in reference to the past, celebrity memes have often ended in rug pulls. However, in a bull market, people quickly forget.

Hawk Tuah's rug incident won't stop punters and fans from buying into her future memes. Even if the next 9/10 celebrity memes are Rug pulls, the one without Rug will bring much-needed users and liquidity to the crypto space.

AI Tokens: Return of the King

As the aforementioned Trump meme cools down, traders will look for better opportunities. AI is the best opportunity of them all. When thinking of AI, the acronym APE comes to mind:

• A: Abstract. AI solves UI/UX problems. It simplifies all complex DeFi processes such as trading, lending, borrowing, LPing, etc. through natural language.
• P: Profit/Protection. AI agents provide automation and superior trading strategies, providing users with additional profit returns. AI agents are also great for protecting investors from scams. Some teams are already developing a wallet protector that alerts users to signs of possible fraud before they purchase tokens.
• E: Entertainment. Waifu, DJ, etc., need I go into details?

When considering the impact of AI on cryptocurrencies, the profit rotation from Trump traders to DeFAI is clear. Some of my favorite AI projects include VIRTUAL, AIXBT, AVA, FARTCOIN and HAT.

Also keep an eye out for MCAP projects that have niche use cases that stand out (not another trading bot or launch pad):

• ANTIRUG: Predictive Analysis on Project Rug
• PYTHIA: AI in the mouse brain
• VIRAL: Agents that learn directly from on-screen human behavior

SOL : Undefeated Champion

If nothing else, TRUMP coin proves that Solana is the best chain to launch the token, and there is no better choice.

The market capitalization reached 15 billion US dollars in one day, which is impossible to achieve in any other field.

Over the past two days, Solana has hit new highs on nearly every metric (related reading: Crazy Weekend: 10 Charts Unraveling Solana’s Moments in Crypto Markets ):

• TVL surges above $12 billion, reaching highest level since peak of bull market in 2021
• The price rose by more than 25%, reaching a new high of $290
• DEX trading volume once again hit a new high of $17.5 billion.

Solana is the “people’s” chain, and that doesn’t appear to be changing anytime soon.
