Original Title: "Chinese Memes Show Their Talents, Who Will Be the First to Land on Binance Main Site?"
Original Author: Golem, Odaily Planet Daily
The Chinese Meme craze is ongoing.
During the National Day holiday, the surge of "Binance Life" and its launch on Binance Alpha sparked the first wave of Chinese Memes. However, that wave was more centered around the "Binance concept" and did not truly bring Chinese Meme culture to a global audience. Now, a second wave is rising—one that is genuinely rooted in the Meme genes of the Chinese internet, transforming internet hot topics into market consensus, with a more native form and greater communicability.

Although Chinese Memes are currently more prevalent on Binance Alpha, the main site has yet to enter the scene, but the winds have begun to shift: On October 9, Binance's contract API added support for Chinese trading pairs, hinting at the potential for launching Chinese Memes.
The market has already solidified a batch of assets 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 market decline and waiting for signals, who will be the first to land on Binance?
Odaily Planet Daily has compiled the current popular Chinese Memes to help users capture the trends in advance.
Binance Life

Market Cap: $147 million

"Binance Life" is the hottest Meme in this round and the first to launch on Binance Alpha. Its explosive growth has brought sustained global attention to Chinese Memes. This Meme originated from the "Apple vs. Android" debate by the internet celebrity Chen Feng, who was banned on Douyin (note: referring to categorizing everything superior, elite, and high-class as Apple, while inferior and cheap things are categorized as Android), comparing Binance to the "Apple" of the crypto world, creating the community hot phrase "Drive a Binance car, live in a Binance community, enjoy a Binance life." The marketing suggestion for the "Binance Life" Meme was proposed by Chen Jian, who was rewarded with 100 BNB by Binance.
The market cap of Binance Life reached a peak of $500 million, currently down over 70%, but because it is a Chinese Meme closely related to Binance, the community believes the probability of Binance Life landing on the Binance main site is the highest.
Cultivation
Contract: 0x44443dd87ec4d1bea3425acc118adb023f07f91b
Market Cap: $14 million
Holding Addresses: 12,360
"Cultivation" is the first Meme coin launched exclusively from the Binance Wallet's Meme Rush platform and listed on Binance Alpha. The Meme Rush platform is a new feature designed by Binance for users of the Binance Wallet (without private key addresses) to discover and participate in Meme token projects. The community believes that as a new product promoted by the Binance Wallet, the Meme Rush platform must create a wealth effect to attract investors, hence "Cultivation" has a chance to be listed on the Binance main site, creating a narrative angle for the subsequent development of the Meme Rush platform.
The "Cultivation" Meme originates from a "Cultivation" article published by Binance co-founder He Yi at Binance Square, systematically explaining his entrepreneurial cultivation philosophy of "Dao, Fa, Shu, Qi."
Hakimi

Market Cap: $30 million
Holding Addresses: 13,190
"Hakimi" is one of the most popular Memes on the Chinese internet, originally born from a character in the Japanese anime Uma Musume, who casually hummed a tune in January 2021. Over the following years, Chinese internet users deconstructed "Hakimi," linking it not only to cute cats but also discovering that "Hakimi" could fit the melodies of many songs. In 2024, Bilibili saw a surge in "Hakimi" song creations. Furthermore, with the rise of "Round-Headed Old Man (Cat Dad)" on the Chinese internet in April 2025, the Hakimi BGM coincided with the old man's image, officially launching the nationwide creation of "Hakimi," with various classic songs being remixed, giving birth to classics like "Blue Lotus Hakimi," "Jumping Building Ji," and "Ji Mi Says." The most influential virtual singer in China is no longer Luo Tianyi, but Hakimi.
Because of the deep-rooted Meme culture of "Hakimi," it has gathered a relatively solid consensus in the community. Hakimi has already launched on Binance Alpha, and the Meme coins related to the "Hakimi" concept include "Mambo," "North and South Green Beans," etc., but their market caps are not high.
Milk Dragon

"Milk Dragon" is a character from the Chinese original animated short film "Milk Dragon," which was born in 2020. Due to its soft and cute image, it has been widely re-created on the Chinese internet. Among them, the "I am Milk Dragon" phrase has gone viral, with players using AI to remix the audio of "I am Milk Dragon" with the song "Tonight the Stars Shine Bright," combined with the "Turkish Dance" to make it even more catchy. It has been widely imitated and spread by netizens on the Chinese internet.

"Dragon Long" is a combination of several hot phrases from the Chinese internet. First, the "Dragon Long" expression comes from a 2014 cosplayer Long Yutao, whose extreme behavior led netizens to create meme images from his cosplay photos. However, the situation gradually spiraled out of control, and even after Long Yutao publicly apologized, the expression continued to circulate widely on the internet, referred to as "Dragon Image."

At the same time, the sharp head and the subtitle "Then I ask you" in "Dragon Long" come from another fitness blogger "Changshu Arno." It has been circulating in the fitness community that if a person uses technology in fitness, their head will become pointed, and coincidentally, Arno's head is pointed. During one of Arno's live streams, a netizen asked why his head was pointed, and unexpectedly, Arno broke down, repeatedly asking "Then I ask you." The illogical rebuttal led to the creation of a Meme by netizens.
Shamate
Contract: 0xf1cf3b0e5c427c04cc48dbb3ab7f6ba357434444
Market Cap: $1.3 million
Holding Addresses: 3,070
"Shamate" is inspired by the early Chinese subculture "Shamate," known for its flamboyant and rebellious aesthetics. However, the revival of "Shamate" on the Chinese internet is not due to its cultural core but rather because of meme images. China's largest short video platform, Douyin, recently launched a blue Shamate meme pack, which has been well-received by netizens, along with five other limited-time Shamate meme packs.
The popularity of the blue Shamate meme pack, besides its Meme attributes, is also due to the fact that in September, when Douyin did not update, only a few netizens could send out the blue Shamate meme pack, leading to comments like "Whoever can send out the blue Shamate meme pack is recognized as their dad," which further fueled the blue Shamate's explosive popularity.
Bee Dog

"Bee Dog" is known as "Bee Puppy" due to its swollen dog face, innocent eyes, and bee-like coloring, with its prototype being a mini Doberman. However, there are various explanations online for why this dog's face is swollen; some believe it was stung by a bee, while others claim it was bitten by a snake. Regardless, its expression is highly meme-worthy and is often used on social media to express awkwardness or innocence.
How Should Binance Decide?
In addition to the Chinese Memes listed above, there are many other hot phrases on the Chinese internet that will not be enumerated here. Returning to the crypto market, how this round of Chinese Memes will conclude may still depend on Binance's attitude. As the global hub for crypto liquidity, its choice to promote or not carries significant implications. After all, most of these Chinese Memes were born on BSC.
Moreover, after "10.11," the community's attitude towards Binance has gradually polarized, with mixed reviews. Binance may need to create another wealth frenzy to shift the market's attention. At this time, launching a Chinese Meme coin could be a better choice.
