A window of opportunity for adventurous, fun-loving traders in the meme coin space was announced by Bybit, the second-largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world by trading volume. Bybit Alpha’s recent listings, which come two weeks into 2026, highlight the notable resurgence of meme coins, with Solana serving as the main arena for this most recent round of speculation.
In contrast to the big storylines of mainstream crypto, the current meme coin boom celebrates irreverent humor and strong defiance, including lighthearted and provocative themes. Bybit Alpha has matched market excitement since the latter week of 2025 with a faster listing speed, introducing six new meme tokens—WHITEPEPE, TATA, testicle, HAPPY, B, and Buttcoin—between January 11 and 13, 2026 alone.
Early in 2026, Solana’s meme industry showed impressive growth:
Well-known meme tokens are also seeing significant comebacks; BONK has increased by more than 50%, while PENGU, WIF, and POPCAT are following suit.
With the recent announcement of their partnership ambitions, Solana and X also introduced “Smart Cashtags,” which allow for real-time on-chain asset viewing from inside the social media platform. This connection greatly increases meme coin exposure and engagement by giving users instant access to market data without the need for external navigation.
Bybit Alpha’s early introduction into the Solana ecosystem has allowed it to quickly establish itself at the forefront of this trend. Bybit, Byreal, and Solana established a solid alliance in 2025, with Bybit Alpha leading the way in enabling trading and staking on Solana.
On little than three weeks, the platform has listed about 20 meme coins based on Solana. Notable performances consist of:
Bybit Alpha is at the vanguard of this thriving comeback, connecting traders with the fastest-moving possibilities across the Solana ecosystem as the meme coin craze continues to captivate the cryptocurrency industry. Bybit Alpha continues to be the preferred location for the next wave of digital culture on-chain because of its strong liquidity, quick listings, and dedication to innovation.
