Memecoins surge for the second time in January

Memecoins surge for the second time in January

|By BlockViz Insights

Memecoins just flipped back to "risk-on" mode, and $PUMP leading the charge is the clearest sign retail's ready to gamble again. 😎

PUMP's ripping double digits today on strong volume, building on 50%+ 30-day gains while BTC sits tight. PumpFun's 2026 fee tweaks, shifting from rug spam to actual trading liquidity, are finally resonating. Memes outperforming majors like this usually signals broader alt rotation coming in weeks.

What's driving this move? πŸ€”

β€’ Sector rotation: DOGE, SHIB, BONK catching bids first, pulling PUMP along as Solana's launchpad king

β€’ Narrative refresh: Pump. Fun narrative feels fresh vs tired legacy memes
β€’ Tape action: Clean volume pickup, no obvious whale dumps yet

What I would watch and trade:

β€’ PUMP (40%) - Platform token + Solana meta πŸš€

β€’ DOGE (30%) - Safe beta play when memes heat up

β€’ PEPE (30%) - Already showed leadership earlier in January


Risk appetite's clearly back (for now).
