Hello everyone, and Happy New Year! I can still say that, right?
I’ve noticed that memecoins are taking a different approach lately, especially with this AI agent trend—particularly on Solana and Base. They seem to have a smaller supply, making it easier to hit $1, and many now come with actual utilities.
To put it more clearly, it seems like memecoins are transitioning into utility-based projects through their setup. We’ve seen examples like Goat, Ai16Z, and Cerebro attempting this, but it seems HIVE has taken things to a whole new level. With DeFi utilities and AI integration, it’s even set to be part of the Solana hackathon.
From checking their Twitter (

We know that most meme coins started out as something that was just for fun, then suddenly boomed unexpectedly, accumulating a large community and huge marketcap in the crypto space industry field. And we also know that there are meme coins that have no use case but are still included in the top listings in the crypto market.
So, I can agree with what was said here that when a meme coin has utilities that means it can no longer be considered a meme coin, in which is for me that is true. That's why meme coins are called that because it seems like it was just for fun but ended up being serious in the end.
