Recently, the topic "My 2026 Lucky Sign" has gone viral, along with the emergence of a meme coin of the same name. Interestingly, players are calling this "drawing lots as mining, luck turning into assets"—it sounds a bit mystical, but it actually reflects a new trend in Chinese meme coins.
Looking back at the 2025 "Binance Life" wave, the 10,000x surge in just five days was truly shocking to many. Even more astonishing, foreigners started learning Chinese overnight to "go all in." This shows that Chinese narratives indeed have potential in the global crypto community. And "Lucky Sign" is even more aggressive—it doesn't rely on a particular exchange's narrative but is rooted directly in the short video ecosystem, turning traditional folk symbols into on-chain assets, creating a strong cultural resonance.
Public chains like Base and Solana also seized this opportunity. Solana's official account even actively jumped on the trend with memes like "SolaLa," aiming to capture the Chinese-speaking user base. In simple terms, whoever can master Chinese creative content gains an additional growth window.
But the problem is also clear: the lifespan of most Chinese meme coins is extremely short. Take "Binance Life" as an example—when the "spot market expectations" didn't materialize, it plummeted over 24% in a single day. Moreover, many similar projects haven't even undergone smart contract audits, making them vulnerable to liquidity traps or whale manipulations. If "Lucky Sign" only stays at the emotional hype level, it’s likely to be just a flash in the pan.
Looking ahead, for Chinese meme coins to truly break out of the circle, they need to find a balance between cultural resonance and long-term value. If "drawing lots" evolves from mere gambling into a bridge connecting offline experiences and digital identities, Eastern narratives could reshape the crypto landscape. It’s still a long way to go, but the direction is already clear.

Another scam turning luck into assets, but it's quite clever.

Another wave of the "luck turns into money" narrative, sounds great but how long can it really last?

Another wave of Chinese narrative celebration, but will it really survive past next month this time?

Another new trick to cut leeks, folk symbols can also be on the chain, right?

Another wave of fleeting moments, this time playing quite smoothly, but it has a bit too much of a gambling vibe.

It's another fleeting thing; I bet five dollars that no one will mention it next week.
