#数字资产动态追踪 Meme coins have quietly undergone changes. Once purely cultural symbols, they are now beginning to serve real functions—this could become a turning point in the crypto ecosystem by 2026.

Looking at the new trends in the market makes it clear. DOGEBALL combines Meme with game mechanics, and the pre-sale has already started. Similar projects include Bitcoin Hyper, PEPENODE, and others, all doing one thing: injecting Layer2 and practical tools as "hardcore" elements into Meme coins. What’s the result? These projects have gained quite a bit of attention.

Of course, volatility and risk still exist—these are always associated with Meme coins. But when functionality is added, the market narrative begins to take on new dimensions. $ETH $BNB How far this trend can go depends on whether projects can truly turn ideas into products in the future.

ETH-3,29%

BNB-2,03%

It's bearish, but this wave of functional empowerment Meme coins is indeed a new tactic. I'm just worried it might be another scam to trap retail investors. I took a look at DOGEBALL. The game mechanics are quite flashy, but where is the real support level? No data to speak of. Pre-sales are the most dangerous. I've seen all the tricks of pumping and dumping later. Everyone, please don't go all-in blindly. The real highlight this time is the implementation capability, not just hype. If the technicals break below the initial price, it's time to take profits.

Hmm, meme coins adding features? Sounds good, but I'm still a bit skeptical. Basically, it's just looking for a new excuse to scam retail investors. Pure meme coins could attract funds before, and now adding some layer2? Will it really make a difference? Let's wait and see if we get proven wrong. Things like DOGEBALL seem to be just a flash in the pan; there are very few that can truly be implemented. How long this narrative can be hyped up, we'll see by the end of the year.

Functional meme coins? Sounds good, but I remain skeptical. Too many projects are just changing concepts to scalp retail investors. --- DOGEBALL, PEPENODE—can these really be implemented, or will they become the next pump-and-dump coins? --- Honestly, it still depends on the code and real use cases. Talking only about layer2 and tools is useless. --- The turning point in 2026? Let's wait and see who survives until then, haha. --- Relying on game mechanics to give meme coins value—I don't quite buy that logic. --- Volatility will always exist + true implementation is almost impossible. That’s the essence of meme coins. --- Pre-sales and hardcore elements—it's the same old套路. --- In my opinion, most of these projects are just gambling wrapped in DeFi. --- Feels like they're finding new reasons for retail investors to take the fall.

Adding functionality makes it a whole different story; it's finally not just a pure gambling game anymore. The Meme coin plus Layer2 direction is okay, but can projects like DOGEBALL really survive until next year? It sounds good, but few can actually deliver products; we still have to wait and see. Hmm, it's interesting. If it really gets off the ground, it could indeed be an opportunity. No matter how volatile it is, there must be practical use cases; stories alone won't last long. However, how long this round of hype can last is still a question, and then it will be another round of zero trading volume.

Meme coins are really evolving, but don't be fooled by "functionality," most of it is still just air. Wait, can DOGEBALL really be played? Probably just another round of rug pulls. Instead of just watching the narrative, better wait until someone actually uses it before judging. Feels like another hype about concepts; what’s the use of Layer 2 support? Making money is the real deal. Is this truly different this time, or just an old routine in disguise? Let's wait and see.
