Recently revisited some investment opportunities in MEME coins and want to discuss how to participate more confidently in the alpha stage of this track.

Instead of aimlessly chasing hot topics, it's better to reflect from the perspective of the token listing side. What kind of MEME coins will they choose to launch? The answer is simple—projects that can generate buzz, tell a good story, and have relatively controllable risks.

I’ve summarized a few specific standards. First, both market heat and storytelling angles need to be solid. No matter how good a project is, if it lacks popularity, it’s unlikely to succeed. Similarly, unoriginal perspectives are easily overlooked. Second, the market cap bottom line is very important—at least stable above $1 million, capable of fluctuating within a certain range without frequently hitting new lows. This indicates the project has basic consensus and liquidity support.

The third aspect is fundamentals—reasonable token distribution, preferably with thorough washouts. Projects with overly concentrated holdings often have hidden risks, whereas projects that have undergone proper washouts tend to perform healthier later on. Lastly, it’s essential to understand data on holder addresses and trading activity. Watching who is buying and how they operate can reveal a lot about the true temperature of the project.

Ultimately, the alpha of MEME coins lies in the details. Finding projects where heat, narrative, fundamentals, and data all align will significantly increase the success rate of participation.
