Luigi Skyrockets 500x, APPLE Whales In with 40M, and Solana Sees Another Gold Dog on-chain | What Memes Are Hot Today?
Today, most mainstream cryptocurrencies are generally down, and market sentiment is somewhat subdued. However, on-chain transactions have not decreased significantly. Instead, several tokens worth paying attention to are quietly rising, attracting a lot of investor interest.
Lately, many popular tokens on the Solana leaderboard have been closely tied to social trends, especially as the hype from social platforms like TikTok continues to expand into the meme coin space. For example, the token based on a college student assassination case background, Luigi, surged to a market capitalization of 63.8 million US dollars in the early hours today, marking an increase of nearly 494 times. Similarly, the APPLE token based on the concept of an "apple-loving dog" has rapidly gained popularity on TikTok, drawing significant attention. Additionally, tokens related to AI and applications are also gaining heat, competing with these meme coins and collectively becoming the market focus.
TikTok Concept
Luigi
In the early hours today, Luigi token's explosive growth contrasted sharply with the overall market decline. This token is based on a social news background. The story behind it involves a 26-year-old man named Luigi Mangione, who was arrested by the police in a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, for allegedly assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. At that time, an employee recognized him from his wanted photo and alerted the authorities.
What's most surprising is that Mangione is a graduate from an Ivy League school from an affluent family and holds a bachelor's and master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Pennsylvania. Netizens believe that this incident is not just a murder case; it also involves profound societal issues across various aspects, including economic inequality, educational background, and mental health. Its popularity on TikTok is particularly high. The case has sparked widespread discussions in various media outlets, with everyone closely following the latest developments.
The peak market capitalization of the Luigi token reached 63.8 million US dollars, with a maximum surge of nearly 494 times. Despite some retracement, the overall trend is still upward, with significant market interest and trading volume.

APPLE
The APPLE token originates from a viral TikTok video of a dog enjoying an apple. The short video of the dog quickly became popular on TikTok, surpassing 170 million views on December 8. Behind it lies a strong community effect, especially combining AI, the TikTok trend, Christmas marketing, and dogecoin culture in a comprehensive project, with great potential and hype space.
The token's surge began with its launch on December 4, initially receiving a lukewarm market response. However, it wasn't until Sunday afternoon that the price started to rapidly rise, reaching a peak market cap of $48.64 million before experiencing a pullback.
Netizens generally believe that the APPLE token is the next "chillguy" and "moodeng," both of which have also rapidly gained popularity on TikTok, becoming hot tokens. In addition, well-known investor Marc Andreessen also tweeted that this dog is a "good boy," further boosting the hype around the APPLE token.

Leveraging the influence of TikTok and Telegram, this token has become a hot topic on current social media, especially the trend on TikTok driving its exposure. The DAGO token's market cap soared to $10.21 million but later experienced a pullback, with the current market cap at $2.33 million.

Application Category
JAIL
Jail is an open-source decentralized application where users can test AI models and discover potential vulnerabilities. If you successfully find a vulnerability and "jailbreak" it, you will receive a reward from the platform, jokingly referred to as "human rebellion against AI."
This project was very popular right from its weekend launch, reaching a moonshot3 shortly after creation, with a market cap exceeding $20 million. Within less than a day of launch, the market cap peaked at $20.92 million, but has now dropped to $8.37 million. Interestingly, the Jail token did not receive much attention from most VC firms; instead, it garnered more interest from key opinion leaders (KOLs) in the primary market and the community. This characteristic led netizens to believe that it relies more on community support for its growth.
Jail token's 24-hour trading data shows that today's highest profit reached 12.03% at one point, but the current ROI is -46.20%, indicating significant market volatility.

Leveraging the appeal of anime and otaku culture, MIKO has successfully attracted a large number of male otaku fans. It has also capitalized on the trendiness of AI technology and TikTok.
MIKO's token saw a breakout yesterday around 9 PM, with the token skyrocketing 100x shortly after launch, reaching a market cap of $59.34 million. Subsequently, the token price has maintained high levels, forming a typical right-angled candlestick pattern, demonstrating strong market support.

Although the $SORAI website only provides relevant data without further information, its unique background and potential have garnered significant attention, leading to increasing popularity and relatively good trading volume. The token experienced explosive growth after its launch, reaching a peak market cap of 3.52 million USD at one point, marking a 36x increase, followed by a quick pullback and significant volatility.

Market Cap: 3.52M
