With the continuous popularity of meme projects on the Solana and Base blockchains, the meme market has become a sustained “main theme” rather than a temporary trend. From dog memes in the past to frogs and now cats, market focus continues to change. Currently, some users have begun to establish a presence in the cat coin field, seizing new narratives.
From April 2nd to April 3rd, HOBBES, a new meme coin named after Ansem, a Solana community influencer and trader, quickly rose to a market value of nearly $100 million within the first 24 hours of its launch. On Twitter, Ansem first asked everyone, “Who can guess my cat’s name?” and later revealed that the name was HOBBES. According to DexScreener data, at 4 am on April 3rd, HOBBES reached a market value of 98 million USD. At 4 pm on April 3rd, HOBBES had a 24-hour trading volume of up to 145 million USD.
