($MEME) , what is the story behind this trend in Social Media today?
04-09-2026
The $MEME ticker lighting up social media today is not the older 9GAG/Memeland token (contract 0xb131…cd74). It is a brand-new memecoin launched on the Pons launchpad on Robinhood Chain. @GateAlphaHQContract: 0x385F4f8ae47651ce5F58F5265395a669f8281e18Pons functions like Pump.fun: anyone can deploy a fixed-supply token in one transaction. This particular $MEME quickly picked up the 2021 “meme stock” narrative and started being paired with AMC (the cinema chain that retail traders squeezed alongside GameStop). Traders are posting about “flipping $AMC with $MEME” and treating it as a crypto continuation of that old retail-vs-hedge-fund story. @Yourpop8What happened today (4 September 2026):
- Gate Alpha listed $MEME (and $CONCERN) in its HOT section.
- Aster DEX added $MEME perps with up to 5x leverage.
- Community members are running a Pons spotlight vote to push visibility further.
