"The Mars Tide" Meme coin is coming, TERMINUS ranks first
Meme coins are "emotional crystallizations," and the key lies in who can attract more liquidity.Author: Wenser, Odaily Planet Daily
In the crypto world, the miracle of wealth creation often appears unexpectedly. Recently, TERMINUS has led the "Mars Wave" meme coin explosion.
Last Saturday, with the "joining" of Chinese crypto KOL and SHIB community OG Li Ping, the meme coin project with the ID TERMINUS, named after "the first city on Mars for humanity" as envisioned by Musk, became the latest focus in the market after completing its CTO (Community Takeover).
This article provides a brief overview of the recent "Mars Wave" meme coin projects for readers' reference. (Odaily Planet Daily Note: Meme coin prices are highly volatile, and investment risks are high. Please choose your targets carefully; the following information does not constitute investment advice.)

Token Related Information
Project Introduction: The project contract was created 39 days ago, and the token ID is derived from the name of the "first city on Mars for humanity" that Musk mentioned in the context of SpaceX's future Mars landing. Additionally, according to community members' research, Musk referenced this concept from the famous science fiction writer Asimov in February 2020, viewing TERMINUS as "a new high ground for humanity." Of course, this also shows that Musk's influence in the meme coin space remains unparalleled.
As for whether TERMINUS can move towards a more magnificent future, we may need to wait for a "key signal" from Musk himself.

Terminus: Lowercase Token, An Unrepeatable Miracle
Token Contract: 0x44e18207b6e98f4a786957954e462ed46b8c95be;
Token Price: Approximately $0.0000021 (peaked near $0.000005, currently has halved);
Project Market Cap: $673,000;
24-Hour Trading Volume: $932,000;
Token Holding Addresses: 900+.
Project Introduction: The recent competition for the Neiro/NEIRO new Shiba Inu meme coin has just concluded, leading many to pay attention to the lowercase "meme concept coin." However, it is evident that Terminus's appeal is far less than that of TERMINUS, which is a "capitalized word." Consequently, after a brief rise, it has gradually spiraled down, currently having more than halved. The project contract was deployed 74 days ago, which again illustrates the principle: "Coming early does not guarantee a good outcome."

Project Introduction: THOG stands for The Heart Of Gold, which is the name of an interstellar spaceship from Musk's favorite science fiction novel, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." He previously revealed that the first interstellar spaceship for humans traveling to Mars would also be named after it. The token contract was deployed 305 days ago, making it an "old-school meme coin." Unfortunately, its price performance has been unremarkable until recently, when it gained some attention due to the "Mars Wave" led by TERMINUS. Overall, its potential appears limited.
Token Information
MARS: Mars, Musk's Destination
Official Account: @TakingETH 2 Mars
Token Contract: 0x9e12b9dee3483e731106fa80b402767aea582e2f;
Token Price: $0.0000012 (peak price around $0.000004, currently down nearly 70%);
Project Market Cap: $508,000;
24-Hour Trading Volume: $6.5 million;
Token Holding Addresses: 1150+.
Project Introduction: It is evident that this is a "trend-following" meme coin project, with the contract deployed 23 hours ago. The official account has fewer than 500 followers, but the official X platform account ID "Taking ETH 2 Mars" hints at potential future developments for the project, possibly leading to Musk's "personal endorsement." However, it is currently in a downward spiral, and unless a new breakout occurs, a return to zero seems inevitable.

BAR: Another "First City on Mars"? Declared a Failure
Token Contract: 0x85016e04299411c351350c37bfe69d8aafc16325;
Token Price: $0.0005 (peak price close to $0.003, currently down 80%);
Project Market Cap: $515,000;
24-Hour Trading Volume: $3.3 million;
Token Holding Addresses: 1150+.
Project Introduction: This is another project that forcibly capitalizes on the "TERMINUS" first city on Mars concept. The difference is that there were rumors in the community that it had received investment from "Chinese crypto KOL Dayu." However, Dayu later clarified the matter and publicly supported the TERMINUS project, leading to a sharp drop in BAR's price, never to recover.

Summary: Meme Coins are "Crystallizations of Emotion," Key is Who Can Drive More Liquidity
For the recent "Mars Wave" meme coins, community members vividly summarized multiple meme coin projects in one sentence: "Musk is driving the Heart of Gold THOG to MARS to establish the base city TERMINUS (BAR), with the universal currency WOW, accompanied by the space dog ASTEROID, dressed in doge clothing, and walking the BOWIE dog."
Currently, most projects have begun their "journey to zero" after experiencing a wave of short-term emotional speculation. The performance of these projects reaffirms the previous judgment—meme coins are more of a "crystallization" of market sentiment, requiring continuous stimulation of emotional fluctuations and momentum to attract more liquidity into this "emotional feast," thereby gradually expanding the reach and influence of a project.
Additionally, perhaps due to the recent warming performance of Ethereum ecosystem and meme coin projects, the standout projects are mostly concentrated on the Ethereum chain; combined with the concept of CTO (Community Takeover), this may also be a significant "must-have option" for the future development of meme coins.
