CZ's Statement Leads to Slight Pullback of Chinese Meme Coins on the BSC Chain, "Life Candlestick" Price Slides Over 20% Briefly
January 13 — Per GMGN monitoring (via link: https://t.me/gmgnaibot?start=i_m4TE56o8), following a tweet from CZ stating “I’m not against meme coins, but blindly following meme coin transaction tweets will likely lead to losses,” the market took this as a negative signal toward “official IP-derived” meme projects on his platform.
As a result, several Chinese-themed meme coins on BSC saw mixed performance, with most posting declines:
- **“I Came”**: 6% drop in 1 hour; market cap $26.65M; current price ~$0.026
- **“My Goodness”**: 11% gain in 1 hour; market cap $11.49M; current price ~$0.011
- **“Life K Line”**: 23% plummet in 1 hour; market cap $11.15M; current price ~$0.011
BlockBeats reminds users: Meme coin trading is extremely volatile, relies heavily on market sentiment and hype, and has no tangible value or utility. Investors are advised to exercise caution.
