2023年第一季度，Dog Whip、FLOKI、Pepe等表情币涨幅显着，其中Dog Whip涨幅最高，涨幅达2519.76%。受欢迎程度的飙升归因于 Solana 和 Base 等去中心化交易所发行了新的 meme 币，这些交易所激励了 meme 币交易以保护网络用户的安全。

Meme Coins Surge in Popularity, Drawing Attention to the Cryptocurrency Market's Capricious Nature

Meme 币人气飙升，引起人们对加密货币市场反复无常的关注

In the tumultuous first quarter of 2023, as Bitcoin ascended to dizzying heights, surpassing the 100 million KRW mark per unit, an unexpected contender emerged from the depths of the cryptocurrency market: meme coins. These seemingly frivolous digital assets, often featuring whimsical images and cryptic references, recorded remarkable gains that outpaced even the most established virtual currencies.

在动荡的 2023 年第一季度，随着比特币攀升至令人眼花缭乱的高度，突破每单位 1 亿韩元大关，一个意想不到的竞争者从加密货币市场的深处出现：模因币。这些看似琐碎的数字资产，通常具有异想天开的图像和神秘的参考，记录了显着的收益，甚至超过了最成熟的虚拟货币。

Meme coins, often dismissed as mere distractions designed to lure unsuspecting retail investors into the volatile world of cryptocurrencies, have demonstrated a surprising resilience. With their low entry barriers and promise of astronomical returns, they have attracted a growing legion of followers. Artificial intelligence (AI)-themed coins have also soared in value, riding the wave of excitement surrounding the Nvidia craze that swept the U.S. stock market in the first quarter.

Meme 币经常被认为只是为了吸引毫无戒心的散户投资者进入动荡的加密货币世界而分散注意力，但它们却表现出了令人惊讶的弹性。凭借较低的进入门槛和天文数字回报的承诺，它们吸引了越来越多的追随者。伴随第一季度席卷美国股市的英伟达热潮，以人工智能 (AI) 为主题的硬币的价值也飙升。

According to data from CoinMarketCap, the most significant gainer among the top 100 virtual assets by market capitalization in the first quarter was Dog Whip (WIF) Coin, which skyrocketed by an astonishing 2519.76%. This meme coin, featuring a Shiba Inu dog adorned with a hat, was launched on the Solana network in November 2022.

CoinMarketCap数据显示，一季度市值前100名虚拟资产中涨幅最大的是狗鞭币（WIF），涨幅惊人2519.76%。这款模因币的特色是一只戴着帽子的柴犬，于 2022 年 11 月在 Solana 网络上推出。

FLOKI, another notable meme coin that emerged from obscurity, saw an impressive 609% increase. It features Floki Inu, a character inspired by Tesla CEO Elon Musk's Shiba Inu dog. Pepe, the third-place meme coin, boasts the iconic "Pepe the Frog" character, a popular internet meme. It surged by a remarkable 502% in the first quarter alone.

FLOKI 是另一个从默默无闻中脱颖而出的著名模因币，其涨幅高达 609%，令人印象深刻。它的主角是 Floki Inu，这个角色的灵感源自特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 的柴犬。佩佩是排名第三的模因币，拥有标志性的“佩佩青蛙”角色，这是一个流行的互联网模因。仅第一季度就飙升了 502%。

The meteoric rise of meme coins can be attributed in part to the proliferation of new meme coins on decentralized exchanges. Coins that serve as platforms for decentralized applications, such as Solana and Base, have actively promoted meme coin trading to attract users to their networks. For example, the Solana-based decentralized exchange MEXC has listed a substantial number of meme coins operating on the Solana blockchain.

模因币的迅速崛起部分归因于去中心化交易所上新模因币的激增。 Solana 和 Base 等作为去中心化应用程序平台的代币积极促进了 meme 代币交易，以吸引用户加入其网络。例如，基于 Solana 的去中心化交易所 MEXC 已列出在 Solana 区块链上运行的大量模因币。

Just as buying lottery tickets offers a glimmer of hope for financial fortune, investing in meme coins has become a form of gambling for some, with the allure of astronomical returns drawing flocks of investors. Some of these coins, after gaining popularity on decentralized exchanges, have been deemed promising projects by centralized coin exchanges such as Binance and Bybit. This recognition often leads to a surge in trading volume on centralized exchanges, further fueling the meme coin frenzy.

正如购买彩票为财富带来一线希望一样，投资模因币已成为一些人的赌博形式，天文数字的回报吸引着大批投资者。其中一些代币在去中心化交易所受到欢迎后，被币安和Bybit等中心化代币交易所视为有前途的项目。这种认可往往会导致中心化交易所的交易量激增，进一步助长模因币的狂热。

However, the popularity of meme coins has sparked a heated debate within the cryptocurrency community. Critics argue that meme coins "obscure the efforts of teams developing legitimate projects that drive the growth of the coin industry," as stated by Joo Ki-young, CEO of CryptoQuant. They contend that the rampant speculation surrounding meme coins undermines the credibility of the industry.

然而，模因币的流行却引发了加密货币社区的激烈争论。 CryptoQuant 首席执行官 Joo Ki-young 表示，批评者认为，meme 币“掩盖了开发推动币行业增长的合法项目的团队所做的努力”。他们认为，围绕模因币的猖獗投机损害了该行业的可信度。

On the other side of the spectrum, Matze Bus Messari, vice president of research at Messari, believes that "memecoins are successfully bringing people into the blockchain space," adding that "they are going to be a future asset."

另一方面，Messari 研究副总裁 Matze Bus Messari 认为“模因币正在成功地将人们带入区块链领域”，并补充说“它们将成为未来的资产”。

The first quarter of 2023 also witnessed a surge in the value of AI coins. Among the top 100 virtual assets by market capitalization, PecieI soared by 371%, securing the fourth spot in terms of overall growth. SingularityNet also ranked sixth, with a 320% increase.

2023年第一季度，AI币的价值也出现了飙升。在市值排名前 100 的虚拟资产中，PecieI 飙升 371%，整体增长排名第四。 SingularityNet 也排名第六，增幅为 320%。

Blockchain technology has garnered increasing attention as a potential solution to challenges posed by AI development. A prominent example is data sovereignty. Major IT companies currently wield immense power based on AI capabilities. By integrating blockchain with AI, data can be stored on a distributed network, ensuring its reliability and security without centralized control.

区块链技术作为应对人工智能发展带来的挑战的潜在解决方案而受到越来越多的关注。一个突出的例子是数据主权。目前，各大IT公司都拥有基于人工智能能力的巨大力量。通过区块链与人工智能的结合，数据可以存储在分布式网络上，保证数据的可靠性和安全性，无需中心化控制。

The real assets (RWA) sector has also attracted significant interest recently. It was reported that BlackRock, the world's largest asset management firm, has partnered with Security, a leading RWA player, to launch a tokenization fund. The concept of RWA involves tokenizing various assets using blockchain technology. Boston Consulting Group (BCG), a global management consulting firm, predicts that the RWA market will reach a staggering USD 16 trillion (KRW 1592 trillion) by 2030.

实物资产（RWA）领域最近也引起了人们的极大兴趣。据报道，全球最大的资产管理公司贝莱德（BlackRock）已与领先的 RWA 参与者 Security 合作推出代币化基金。 RWA 的概念涉及使用区块链技术对各种资产进行代币化。全球管理咨询公司波士顿咨询集团 (BCG) 预测，到 2030 年，RWA 市场将达到惊人的 16 万亿美元（1592 万亿韩元）。

The cryptocurrency market's performance in the first quarter of 2023 has been a tale of contrasts. While established coins like Bitcoin set new records, the emergence of meme coins and the rise of AI coins have added an element of unpredictability to the landscape. As the market continues to evolve, it remains to be seen whether meme coins will maintain their momentum or fade into obscurity, and if AI coins will cement their place as valuable assets. However, one thing is certain: the cryptocurrency market's ability to generate both excitement and skepticism is not likely to diminish anytime soon.

2023 年第一季度的加密货币市场表现可谓是一个对比鲜明的故事。虽然像比特币这样的老牌币创造了新的记录，但模因币的出现和人工智能币的兴起给这一领域增添了不可预测的因素。随着市场的不断发展，模因币是否会保持其势头还是逐渐消失，以及人工智能币是否会巩固其作为有价值资产的地位，还有待观察。然而，有一点是肯定的：加密货币市场引起兴奋和怀疑的能力不会很快减弱。
