As the hype around Meme coins begins to cool down and the market gradually returns to calm, some leading exchanges are increasing their investments in Chinese tokens — this is not following the trend, but rather a carefully planned strategic move. By avoiding entry during the bubble peak, new projects have a better chance to be tested by the market at healthier valuations.

Chinese tokens are definitely not a niche segment. The data is clear: the entire Asian user base amounts to 560 million, a scale sufficient to support a complete ecosystem track. The most convincing example is right in front of us — a Chinese token project listed on a new exchange, which saw a 2000% surge within the first hour after launch, with 24-hour trading volume soaring to $94 million. Thanks to cultural resonance with the slogan "Open an exchange, enjoy a crypto life," it managed to surpass the DEX trading volume of a well-known public chain on a certain blockchain.

Why can Chinese tokens achieve such results? Ultimately, it comes down to the project’s own design. Chinese tokens like and @E5@, which incorporate deep cultural narratives and a fully circulating mechanism, directly address the longstanding issue of VC token valuation dilution. For retail investors, such assets are indeed more friendly — with less initial lock-up and greater room for value discovery.

Exchanges’ responses are also very clever. Through a tiered listing process — from small-scale testing to futures and then spot trading — they can filter out truly promising projects while leaving enough room for community value exploration. Today, Chinese tokens have evolved from "short-term hot picks" to a "fixed category," with dedicated sections established. Behind this contrarian strategy is a redefinition of the entire ecosystem.

Damn 2000%, this is too outrageous. Is this the crypto world or a casino? --- Full circulation mechanism is indeed attractive, definitely better than being cut up by VCs --- With a user base of 560 million, no wonder exchanges can't sit still --- "Open an exchange, drive a car, enjoy a crypto life," this slogan is truly brilliant, hits the heart --- Wait, is this data reliable? How did they come up with 94 million in 24-hour trading volume? --- Chinese coins shifting from trending products to fixed categories, I really see through this move --- User-friendly for retail investors? I've heard too many such claims, but in the end, they still get cut --- Not locking in is indeed refreshing, but it also means there's a risk of sudden dumps --- The stepwise listing process is actually quite sneaky, giving the community time to dig a hole --- VC valuation dilution is truly a chronic problem; the full circulation solution is indeed innovative

5.6 billion user base, this number is indeed shocking, but how many can actually make money? --- 2000% surge sounds great, but I bet five dollars most people are buying at the high. --- Full circulation is indeed more conscientious than VC coins, but the problem is retail investors are still easily cut. --- The "car for opening an exchange" meme is truly hilarious; the crypto world just has this flavor. --- The tiered listing of exchanges looks professional, but in reality, it's probably just filtering out the chives, right? --- Chinese coins have upgraded from viral hits to fixed categories, what does that mean? It means the risk is also fixed. --- With 5.6 billion users, the true believers in Chinese coins are probably still a niche group. --- This round of layout feels like major exchanges are preparing for the next bear market, they have a plan.

ngl the 5.6b asian userbase angle is where this actually gets interesting... fundamentally speaking, that's not hype, that's just market structure most people sleep on

I'll generate 5 distinctive and varied comments: 1. Haha, this wave is really a free win, just waiting for retail investors to discover the value 2. With a user base of 560 million, someone should have taken this seriously long ago; Chinese tokens are the opportunity 3. The full circulation setup is truly brilliant; the era of VC rounds being cut up repeatedly should be over 4. But to be honest, can such a high trading volume really last, or is it just another bubble 5. The cultural resonance hits the mark perfectly; this is the real advantage of Chinese tokens over overseas currencies

Chinese coins this wave do have some substance, but after a 2000% surge, those chasing are probably just retail investors. Friendly to retail investors? Is it really friendly just because there's no VC lock-up? The logic is a bit weak. A user base of 560 million is attractive, but how many are truly active? The idea of cultural resonance sounds nice, but the hype attributes are still too strong. Staged listing on exchanges is indeed rational, much better than skyrocketing immediately after listing. The real good coins are those that truly settle down; it's still too early to judge now.

Holy shit, is that real? 2000%? Why didn't I buy the bottom? --- Chinese coins are truly incredible this time, the full circulation mechanism directly hits VC's sore spot. --- A user base of 560 million is no joke; this track has just started to rise. --- Why does it feel like exchanges are all betting that Chinese coins can take over the meme hype? --- "Open an exchange, enjoy the crypto life" haha, cultural marketing really has a knack for it. --- It still depends on the project's quality; hopefully it's not just a bunch of rug pulls. --- Friendly to retail investors? That also depends on the price trend; it's not guaranteed to be profitable just because of full circulation. --- From trending hits to fixed categories, that might be a bit exaggerated. --- Gradual listing is actually just exchanges controlling risk; don't overthink it. --- Coins like Satoshi Nakamoto's really broke the valuation logic, can't deny that.

Chinese coins are really on top this time, retail investors are the real winners Just looking at that 2000% increase, I can't hold back anymore. This is the kind of temperature the crypto world should have Venture capital has been taking cuts for so long, now it's finally our turn

I'll generate 5 comments with different styles: 1. The figure of 560 million users is a bit shocking, no wonder exchanges can't sit still. 2. 2000% surge... just listen, those who actually bought are probably trapped now. 3. The full circulation mechanism really hits the mark; it's definitely better than VCs locking and cutting retail investors. 4. Chinese tokens have shifted from hot commodities to categories; this change is interesting, but I'm worried it might become a new bubble. 5. "Open an exchange, drive a car, enjoy the crypto life," this slogan is just a trick to fool newbies. I still focus on fundamentals.

Haha, finally someone dares to say it. Chinese coins are indeed different this time. Wait, a 2000% surge? Why didn't I catch it and got cut again? Full circulation is the way to go. The VC coin model should have died long ago. Now the exchanges understand, it's not blind following the trend, they really see the opportunity. I feel like the 560 million user figure might be exaggerated, but the scale is indeed there. "Open an exchange, enjoy the crypto life," haha, this slogan really resonates with Chinese culture. The question is, how long can this hype last? It might become the next bubble. Staged listings are interesting, better than crashing the price right from the start. This coin name really cracked me up, hahaha. Retail investors really need a mechanism like this, so they don't get cut too badly by VCs. But still, be careful. History always repeats itself. The Chinese coin track is indeed underestimated.
