The concept of the dragon as a meme coin and calligraphy project has emerged on major public chains as the Lunar New Year of the Dragon approaches in 2024. Whether it is Silly Dragon on Solana or DINO on Avalanche.
However, the rise of the dragon concept is not only influenced by Chinese elements, but it actually originated from the West. During Halloween in 2023, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko appeared in a “Silly Dragon” costume at the Amsterdam Solana Breakpoint 2023 conference. Shortly thereafter, “Silly Dragon” was launched on Solana.
Since gaining Anatoly’s attention, Silly Dragon has multiplied its growth by over 80 times and reached a historical high of 0.13 USDT on December 25th.

In the Western world, dragons have existed in ancient Greece, ancient Babylon, Christianity, Norse mythology, and Celtic culture, as well as Anglo-Saxon legends. It is a national symbol for Vikings, Celts, and Anglo-Saxons, representing power and sacredness.
In the narrative of the Bible, the legend of “St. George and the Dragon” portrays the dragon as a “hoarder” and devil. In China, dragons have been worshipped as a totem since the Shang and Zhou dynasties. They are the head of all creatures, bringing rain and blessings to the earth, symbolizing peace in the world. In the political hierarchy since the Qin and Han dynasties, the dragon has been a symbol of wealth, wisdom, and power in Chinese politics.
“Trading dragons in the Year of the Dragon” is a shared cultural meme in both the East and the West, beyond the Year of the Dog. In light of this, Foresight News has compiled recent dragon-themed meme coins and calligraphy projects on major public chains.
