Liquidity has been flowing into the Tron blockchain since the launch of SunPump, with a bit of help from the $10 million allocation from Sun’s Meme Ecosystem Boost Incentive Program. 


Stablecoin issuer Tether also minted another 1 billion Tether (USDT) tokens on the Tron blockchain on Aug. 20.

In an Aug. 13 panel discussion at Canada’s Futurists conference, Appchain Noble CEO Jelena Djuric said despite the memecoin season still marching forward, she’s skeptical of their longevity. 


Messari data engineer Mike Kremer shared a similar sentiment in an Aug. 19 newsletter, claiming memecoins have a “destructive dynamic” as many see their price inflate, leading to insiders dumping the token, leaving it with no real value or utility.

Meanwhile, Sun remains bullish on memecoins, posting to X that he thinks the success of the tokens “isn’t by chance.”


“When every dev can build a community through a fair launch, gain everyone’s support, and foster enthusiasm and loyalty, the community can share in the success of the cryptocurrency,” Sun wrote.


Constantin Kogan, co-founder of decentralized launchpad BullPerks also thinksmemecoins have an important role to play in crypto, calling it one of the “fastest-growing sectors in the space.”
