🌟 Editor's Note

Welcome to the 7th edition of Inner Chain, your weekly no-hype, straight-talking guide to what’s really happening in Crypto and Web3 from a passionate squad of crypto enthusiasts from Brooklyn to Accra.

This Week’s MEGA MEME Recap

Memes are more than jokes — they’re driving serious momentum in crypto. Coins with strong communities often outperform the big names.

This week’s spotlight: $AURA, the meme of the week. It made a breakout move that shows what’s possible when a community is fully locked in 🔒️

Also big: Shopify now accepts crypto payments — a quiet but major step toward mass adoption.

🔥 Memecoin Supercycle

🎭 Memes are a cultural movement, and culture moves markets. Meme coins are much more friendly to new people, and easy to understand. Memes have no road maps or VC backing. Its pure community and vibes.

A meme coin could be:

• A dog mascot: $WIF

• A cartoon character: $PEPE

• A viral TikTok moment: $CHILLGUY

• A headline squirrel: $PNUT

These coins don’t need roadmaps. What they have instead is something more powerful: cult-like conviction from their holders. The power of community is what drives memes to outperform the market.

How to choose a memecoin? Not all meme coins are created equal. The strongest ones thrive because of the cult community behind them — diamond-hand holders who believe and hold through the dips. Meme coins are highly volatile, but they can produce the best ROI.

Here’s what to look for:

✅ Cult Community - Active, loyal communities. The real alpha lies in belief.

✅ Time Tested - Focus on meme coins that have survived at least 6+ months — the hype fades, but conviction holds.

✅ Mid-Cap Sweet Spot - Target market caps between $10M–$200M — enough traction to matter, still early enough for upside.

🚀 Meme of the Week

$AURA memecoin is over 1yr old, with a diamond handed cult community, they held through the dip and were rewarded last week when the coin pumped from $1M to $230M market cap. That was a 6000% move over a 1000x on returns from the low.

⛓️ Memecoins across Chains

Memecoins are created across multiple blockchains—like Solana, Base, Avalanche, and Ethereum—each with its own meme communities and viral energy. While they often thrive on hype and social media, there’s also a noticeable correlation with larger market trends. When major coins like Ethereum (ETH) perform well, memecoins on the same chain often see a surge too. This is because rising confidence and liquidity in the broader ecosystem tend to trickle down to smaller, riskier assets. So when $ETH pumps, it often brings meme tokens along for the ride—especially those native to the Ethereum network or closely linked chains like Base.

What is a Stablecoin?

A stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency that is linked to the value of another asset, usually the U.S. dollar. This makes it much less volatile than most other cryptocurrencies.

Stablecoins are widely used for payments and futures trading because their value remains stable. In emerging markets like Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa, they are becoming popular for protecting against local currency instability and for making low-cost cross-border payments.

The current stablecoin market is dominated by $USDT and $USDC, with banks and corporations now planning to launch their own stablecoins as well.
