  • Bybit Alpha has matched market excitement since the latter week of 2025 with a faster listing speed, introducing six new meme tokens.
  • The total market value of Solana meme coins has increased from $5.1 billion at the beginning of the year to $6.7 billion.

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.

Market Momentum Being Dictated by Solana

Early in 2026, Solana’s meme industry showed impressive growth:

  • The total market value of Solana meme coins has increased from $5.1 billion at the beginning of the year to $6.7 billion.
  • Nearly the same time period, the sector’s daily trading volume increased from $850 million to nearly $2.57 billion.
  • The daily DEX trading volume on Pump.fun, which is now the second-largest DEX and meme coin launchpad on Solana, reached an all-time high of $2 billion.

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: Prepared for Solana Since 2025

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:

  • Token B: 62% increase in 24 hours after listing on January 12
  • White Whale: At the peak fully diluted valuation of $140 million, prices increased by more than 1,200% after listing.

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.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
