CZ just dropped a reality check on meme coins at Davos, and it’s making a lot of "degens" nervous. 📉
His point was simple but brutal: most meme coins have zero longevity because they rely on 100% hype. He compared the current market to the NFT crash, warning that without "Cultural Value," a project is just a countdown to zero.
But here’s the interesting part—he isn't "anti-meme." He actually pointed to Dogecoin as the example of what works. It’s been around for 10+ years because it isn't just a ticker; it’s a cultural landmark for the internet.
In 2026, "Cultural Value" means the project represents a specific tribe or historical moment. If your meme coin doesn't have a reason to exist other than "price go up," it’s likely exit liquidity for the next whale. 🐋
Which memes actually have "Cultural Value" in 2026?
Based on the current volume and community density, only a few fit CZ's "Survivor" criteria:
Except those old MEMES this could be also
$WIF (Dogwifhat): The "Solana Standard" 🎩
WIF has officially transitioned from a "pump coin" to the culture of the Solana ecosystem. Despite the recent volatility, it’s holding a massive $300M+ market cap. It’s the "people’s coin" of this cycle—representing the playful, high-speed nature of the SOL community. It doesn’t need utility because its "utility" is its status as a top-tier mascot.
$TRUMP (Official Trump): The "Politi-Fi" Anchor 🇺🇸
With the US President actively pushing crypto at Davos 2026, this token has moved beyond being a "politi-meme." It’s now a bet on the "Crypto-First" US policy. It has real-world cultural backing that is tied to global news cycles, making it one of the few coins that can pump even when the rest of the market is flat.
$SPX (SPX6900): The "Absurdist" Movement 📈
This is the "cultural dark horse" of 2026. It started as a joke about the S&P 500, but it’s evolved into a cult-like movement fueled by big influencers like Murad Mahmudov.
