#2026年比特币行情展望 V God has spoken: 2026 will be Ethereum's "Year of Surprises." So the question is—can new Meme coins like puppies write a legend comparable to SHIB?

Honestly, they don't have to replicate history. Because the current game rules have already changed.

Why do I say that? Comparing the timelines makes it clear.

SHIB's breakout year was 2021. At that time, the Ethereum ecosystem was still in its wild growth phase, with Meme narratives having low barriers to entry, driven purely by retail FOMO. It was "popularity" that determined the price increase.

Fast-forward to 2026. Ethereum has completed a leap in infrastructure—from a payment layer to a settlement layer. Behind it stand trillions in liquidity, institutional-grade ETF channels, and real-world applications like RWA support. Once a truly top-tier Meme coin takes off, what drives it isn't just popularity, but also technological maturity, community consensus, and macro liquidity resonating together.

Why is this time different?

**The starting line itself is different.** SHIB started from nearly zero. Puppies now have nearly two years of community accumulation, market-validated token distribution, and clear narrative anchors like the "Elon Musk concept." Its starting point is already a validated consensus.

**Liquidity is more aggressive.** If 2026 truly enters a global rate-cut cycle, the liquidity flood unleashed will far surpass that of 2021. And the Ethereum ecosystem is the most favored reservoir for this capital.

**The target dimension is higher.** It's not about chasing a certain multiplier miracle, but about becoming a "Meme asset model" in a bull market that carries the strongest community culture and liquidity. Its value isn't just in numerical comparison but in redefining how Meme coins and top-tier blockchain ecosystems coexist and win together.

So, what’s the final outlook?

Compared to simply benchmarking against price increases, I am more optimistic—whether it can, in this "Year of Surprises," serve as a cultural representative of the Ethereum ecosystem and tell a story of "shared civilization" that is more substantial and enduring than wealth myths.

A more solid foundation can support a longer-lasting legend. That’s what we should truly look forward to.
