Chinese Meme Trend, Ongoing.

During the National Day holiday, the surge of "Binance Life" and its listing on Binance Alpha triggered the first wave of Chinese Meme trend. However, this time it was more centered around the "Binance concept," and had not yet truly brought Chinese Meme culture to the global stage. Now, a second wave is emerging — it is deeply rooted in the Meme genes of the Chinese internet, transforming online hot topics into market consensus, with a more native form and stronger spreadability.

Although Chinese Meme coins are currently mostly appearing on Binance Alpha, the main platform has not entered yet, but the direction has already been hinted: On October 9, Binance's contract API added support for Chinese trading pairs, indicating the potential possibility of listing Chinese Meme coins.

The market has already accumulated a number of projects with strong community consensus and distinct Meme attributes. As the old saying goes: "Good news and good prices do not appear at the same time." While everyone is watching the decline and waiting for signals, who will be the first to list on Binance?

Odaily Star Daily has compiled the current popular Chinese Meme in this article, helping users catch the wind direction in advance.

Binance Life

Market Cap: $147 million

"Binance Life" is the most popular Meme in this round, the first Chinese Meme to list on Binance Alpha, and it was because of its surge that Chinese Meme gained continuous global attention. This Meme originated from the "Apple vs Android" theory of the censored Weibo influencer Chen Feng, which categorized all superior, elite, and top-of-the-line things as Apple, while inferior and cheap ones as Android. It likened Binance to the "Apple" in the crypto world, creating the community meme "Drive a Binance car, live in a Binance neighborhood, enjoy a Binance life." The person who proposed the marketing idea of the "Binance Life" meme, Chen Jian, was also rewarded with 100 BNB by Binance.

The market cap of Binance Life reached up to $500 million, but it has now fallen by over 70%. However, since it is a Chinese Meme in this round and strongly related to Binance, the community believes it has the highest probability of listing on Binance's main platform.

Cultivation

"Cultivation" is the first Meme coin to launch from Binance Wallet's exclusive Meme Rush platform and list on Binance Alpha. Meme Rush is a new feature designed by Binance for Binance Wallet (non-private key addresses) users, making it easier to discover and participate in Meme token projects. The community believes that as a new product promoted by Binance Wallet, if Meme Rush wants to attract investors, it must create wealth effects. Therefore, "Cultivation" has a chance to list on Binance's main platform, providing narrative angles for the subsequent development of the Meme Rush platform.

"Cultivation" Meme originated from a "cultivation" article published by Binance co-founder He Yi on Binance Square, systematically elaborating her "Dao, Fa, Shu, Qi" entrepreneurial cultivation philosophy.

Hakimi

Market Cap: $30 million

"Hakimi, North and South Green Beans, Ah Xi Ha Ya Kun Na Lu ~ Wah Ya Ma Jili Manbo, Hakimi North and South Green Beans ~" (The editor is in good mental condition)

"Hakimi" is one of the most popular Meme in the Chinese internet. It originally came from a small song hummed by the character Toho Chikyō in the Japanese anime "Umamusume" in January 2021. Over the following years, Chinese internet players deconstructed "Hakimi," not only associating it with cute cats, but also discovering that "Hakimi" could match many song melodies. In 2024, a "Hakimi" song creation trend emerged on Bilibili. Moreover, with the popularity of "Round-Headed Old Man (Cat Dad)" on the Chinese internet in April 2025, the Hakimi background music coincided with the old man image, triggering the mass creation of "Hakimi." Various classic songs were remixed, giving rise to classics such as "Blue Lotus Hakimi," "Jumping Base," and "Hakimi Talks," making Hakimi the most influential virtual singer on the Chinese internet instead of Luo Tianyi.

It is precisely because of the long-standing Meme culture of "Hakimi" that it has gathered relatively stable consensus within the community. Currently, "Hakimi" has already listed on Binance Alpha. There are also other Meme coins with the "Hakimi" concept, such as "Manbo" and "North and South Green Beans," but their market caps are not high.

Nai Long

"Nai Long" is a character from the original Chinese animated short film "Nai Long," which was born in 2020. Due to its soft and cute, and slightly annoying appearance, it was widely re-created on the Chinese internet. Among them, the "I am Nai Long" meme became the most popular. Players used AI to combine the audio of "I am Nai Long" with the song "Tonight's Stars Are Twinkling" and then combined it with the "Turkish Dance" to make it more absurd. It was imitated and spread by a large number of Chinese internet users.

"Dragon Long" is a combination of multiple Chinese internet hot topics. First of all, the "Dragon Long" unbreakable expression, which originally belonged to a 2014 anime coser named Long Yutao. Because of his extreme behavior, netizens made his coser photo into an emoji. But later, the situation gradually got out of control. Even after Long Yutao publicly apologized, the expression was still widely re-created and spread on the internet, known as "Dragon Picture."

At the same time, the sharp head and subtitle "Then I ask you" in "Dragon Long" comes from another broken fitness blogger "Changshu Arnold." In the fitness circle, there has always been a rumor that if someone uses technology in their fitness, their head will become sharp. And Arnold's head is indeed sharp. Therefore, in one of Arnold's live streams, a netizen asked why his head is sharp. Unexpectedly, Arnold immediately broke down and asked several "Then I ask you." His rebuttal had no logic, and he was fighting with both sides of his brain, so he was made into a Meme by netizens.

Killmate

Market Cap: $1.3 million

"Killmate" is inspired by the Chinese subculture "Killmate" from early years, known for its flamboyant and rebellious aesthetics. However, the revival of "Killmate" on the Chinese internet is not due to its cultural core, but rather because of emojis. The largest short video platform Douyin recently launched the blue Killmate emoji, which is very popular among netizens, and also launched another five limited-time Killmate emojis.

The popularity of the blue Killmate emoji, in addition to having Meme attributes, also had a trap entertainment phenomenon where some netizens could only send the blue Killmate emoji when Douyin didn't update in September, leading to comments like "Who can send the blue Killmate emoji, I'll consider him my father," thus boosting the popularity of the blue Killmate.

Bee Dog

"Bee Dog" is called "Bee Puppy" due to its swollen face, innocent eyes, and similar color to bees. Its prototype is a miniature Doberman. However, there are different explanations online about why this dog's face is swollen. Some people think it was stung by bees, while others deny it and say it was bitten by a snake. Regardless, its expression has strong Meme attributes and is often used as an emoji to express embarrassment or innocence on social software.

How Should Binance Decide?

Except for the above-mentioned Chinese Meme, there are many other hot topics on the Chinese internet, which are not listed here. Returning to the crypto market, how this round of Chinese Meme will end may still depend on Binance's attitude. As the global hub of crypto liquidity, its decision to promote or not has significant implications. After all, most of these Chinese Meme are mainly born on BSC.

Additionally, after "10.11," the community's attitude towards Binance has gradually become polarized, with both praise and criticism. Binance may need to create another wealth carnival to shift market focus. At this point in time, listing a Chinese Meme coin would be a better choice.
