Meme Coin 'memes' Market Cap Surges Past $20 Million, Hits All-Time High

January 21st — Per GMGN market data, a new meme coin named “memes” on the BSC network plummeted to $4 million briefly, then rebounded to $7.6 million. Its 24-hour trading volume has hit $47.4 million; previously, the coin’s market cap had surged above $27.8 million. The coin’s rally was linked to an earlier tweet from the official White House account: “The winning will continue. The deportations will continue. The memes will continue.” After Binance CEO He Yi retweeted the post, “memes” saw a sharp uptick. He Yi has since deleted the retweet, which is likely the direct cause of the coin’s steep drop. BlockBeats Note: Meme coins are highly volatile, heavily reliant on market sentiment and hype, and lack tangible value or use cases. Investors should exercise caution.

On January 21, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin announced he plans to fully shift back to decentralized social networking by 2026 and urged the industry to rethink what “social” truly means.

Vitalik argues truly valuable social tools should help users find high-quality information, rational perspectives, and consensus, rather than maximizing short-term engagement. He stressed this goal isn’t a “simple trick”: a key starting point is more competition, and decentralization is the core path to that—via a shared data layer letting anyone build their own client. He revealed that since the start of this year, he’s actively returned to decentralized social networking, doing all posting and reading through the multi-client tool Firefly.social, which covers protocols like X, Lens, Farcaster, and Bluesky. Vitalik also criticized
