CHILLGUY's market capitalization surged from 10 million to 488 million in a short period, with one trader earning over 1 million from an investment of just over 1,000 in less than a week. Just a Chill Guy is a meme coin based on the Solana blockchain, created by artist Phillip Banks in 2023. This character went viral on TikTok, becoming a spiritual totem for a new generation of young people. On-chain data shows that one trader profited over 1 million from an investment of just over 1,000. The trader invested 233.89 when CHILLGUY was launched, and the market cap skyrocketed by over 38,800%, cashing out 16,200 for the first time. Despite the market's volatility, the total unrealized gains of this wallet exceeded 1.05 million. Creator Banks does not support the use of his artwork for cryptocurrency and has set his Twitter account to private. Nevertheless, there are still NFT series and derivative meme coins being launched.

CHILLGUY, a TikTok-inspired memecoin, experienced a dramatic rise in value, increasing from $0.002 to $0.5, marking a 10,000% increase in just a week. This surge was driven by its popularity on social media, particularly TikTok, and its launch on Solana through Pump.fun. The memecoin quickly reached a market cap of $500 million, although it later dropped to $400 million. Despite this, the number of holders continued to grow, reaching 103.8K. The top ten holders control about 10% of the total supply, suggesting limited influence on price by any single holder. CHILLGUY remains one of the top trending tokens on Solana, with potential for further growth if TikTok trends persist. However, as with all memecoins, it remains speculative and risky, with potential for significant losses.

CHILLGUY

The TikTok memecoin narrative is the latest wave, with the top-leading gem, Just a chill guy [CHILLGUY], raking millions to crypto traders who spotted the trend early. In just two weeks, the focus of top mindshare has shifted from AI agents to DeSci (Decentralized Science), and now TikTok meta is the latest trend.Rotating capital by chasing trending narratives can be risky, but some traders saw a wild windfall by jumping on the CHILLGUY trend. CHILLGUY’s rapid riseThe ‘just a chill guy’ meme, featuring a dog-bear-like animal in a relaxed pose, has been trending on social media in recent days.Someone jumped on the trend and created a memecoin, which was launched on Solana through Pump.fun. TikTok picked it up and pumped it into a half-billion-dollar market cap in less than a week.Interestingly, the record growth outpaced even the wild rally that PNUT fronted. CHILLGUY holders crossed 100K in just a week, while it took over 10 days for PNUT to cross 60K holders. At press time, CHILLGUY holders stood at 103.8K per Solcan data. The number of holders surged even after the slight drop tipped the market cap to slide from $500 million to around $400 million as of press time. This indicated high market interest and potential for rebound for the memecoin. On the token-holding distribution front, the top ten holders held about 10% of the overall CHILLGUY supply of 999.9 million. This meant that top holders could have limited influence on price action even if they dumped their stash. Besides, the token was among the top 10 trending Solana tokens. This could positively influence prices as long as TikTok narratives continue to dominate. What’s next for CHILLGUY?  In just a week, CHILLGUY rose from $0.002 to $0.5, a whopping +10,000% price rally. That’s a 100x gem that most crypto traders highly sought. Put differently, someone who invested $100 at the lows could be worth $10K when CHILLGUY’s peaked at $0.5. 

If the traction holds, the next key levels to watch are $0.7 and $0.28. However, like all memecoins, it’s speculative and could go to zero, making Solana [SOL] the better exposure to the memecoin mania.

Chillguy Crypto Surges 617% in a Day Amid Bearish Divergence

Today, as memes broadly pull back, who is the hottest contrarian? No need to think; it’s definitely the expressionless ChillGuy with his hands in his pockets.
This guy, who became popular on the overseas version of TikTok, has stirred waves in just 24 hours: the market cap once exceeded $600 million, with a 24-hour increase of dozens of times, and the trading volume broke $700 million, with the recent one-hour trading volume also surpassing $100 million.
Just a few days ago, it was merely spreading on TikTok.
Interestingly, while we were still sighing over the phrase "Just Chill," crypto players had already demonstrated what "true Chill" means through their actions: from the President of El Salvador posting to Musk retweeting, everything could become the focus of attention hype.
ChillGuy, in a "lying flat" posture, staged a perfect “lying win.”
If you still don’t understand how an expression pack could stir waves, here’s a quick recap of the storyline.
<h2>Initially, I was just a calm guy</h2>
ChillGuy is actually a character created by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cx-6KiuLaCh/?hl=en" target="_blank">artist Phillip Banks in 2023</a>. This anthropomorphized character wears a sweatshirt, jeans, and sneakers, with his hands in his pockets—just a cool-looking guy.
The artist's simple characterization was: "He’s just a calm guy who doesn’t care about anything at all." At the same time, this post sparked a widespread trend of imitation on social media.
<img src='https://sosovalue.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/sosovalue/web3image/24/11/21/1c93ttb2ooi2.png'/>
Subsequently, this "Chill Guy" image exploded in popularity on TikTok. People were attracted by this image of someone with hands in pockets, expressionless, and seemingly indifferent to everything. It perfectly encapsulates an attitude of today’s youth facing life’s pressures: it’s better to chill than to stress.
Users began to imitate this posture, pairing it with various different scenarios: Failed an exam? Just Chillin. Facing work pressure? Just Chillin. Life isn’t going well? Still Just Chillin.
This contrast in humor and a "laid-back" lifestyle unexpectedly hit the sweet spot for Generation Z. Related videos garnered over 20 million views in just two months, spawning countless imitation videos and expression packs.
These types of videos should have drowned in TikTok’s vast content sea, but netizens were captivated by this "don’t take life too seriously" attitude. Especially in today’s anxiety-ridden era, people seem to find a resonance in this expression pack: life is about learning to chill.
<h2>Flashpoint: From expression pack to speed master</h2>
Five days ago, when the $CHILLGUY token was born on the Solana chain, even the token issuers could not have anticipated what would happen next.
Initially, CHILLGUY’s price was lukewarm, but yesterday it suddenly surged, with a market cap exceeding $200 million, and the price reaching around $0.23, while the trading volume also exceeded $100 million.
Clearly, there’s a reason why a TikTok popular expression pack can go viral, especially in the attention capitalized crypto space; it’s what smart money refers to as a "good angle."
<img src='https://sosovalue.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/sosovalue/web3image/24/11/21/8mb9ttb2oozd.png'/>
Data doesn’t lie. Compared to the squirrel PNUT, which surged in popularity during the previous election hot topic and took 11 days to accumulate 60,000 holders; ChillGuy only took 4 days to amass 80,000 holders.
You can’t help but marvel at the power of attention economy and viral events.
Of course, the chill aspect of the expression pack is just a foundation; what truly catalyzes it is undoubtedly a combination of several factors.
Here, I must reiterate the well-known theory from the classic communication book "The Tipping Point": for an event to go viral, three key elements are essential:
<ul>
<li>
The first is the Law of the Few — influential people spreading and explaining it
</li>
<li>
The second is the Stickiness Factor — popular things should have an impactful quality
</li>
<li>
The third is the Power of Context — the environment in which the phenomenon occurs is crucial, influencing the spread and acceptance of the trend
</li>
</ul>
Regarding the latter two laws, it’s clear that the chill expression with hands in pockets aligns with the fashion of young people, while the overseas version of TikTok and the current super cycle of memes have provided ample contextual power.Everything is ready, but we still need the key person to ignite it.

First, El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele posted a meme of ChillGuy on Twitter without any accompanying text. This tweet received nearly 80 thousand likes in just a few hours.

<img src='https://sosovalue.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/sosovalue/web3image/24/11/21/3gtottb2ookb.png'/>

Subsequently, Elon Musk showed up, albeit late.

A tech blogger posted a review and introduction of Grok's AI performance, which included an image element of "CHILLGUY" in the test results. Musk retweeted it to show his interest.

<img src='https://sosovalue.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/sosovalue/web3image/24/11/21/3bu6ttb2ooip.png'/>

Although it's not a clear endorsement, the law that memes related to Musk tend to go viral is clearly still in effect.

Today (21st), after several events converged, CHILLGUY began its rocket journey, with its market capitalization rising from 200 million to over 600 million USD; as of the time of writing, the price has pulled back somewhat, but the market cap is still around 300 million USD.

<img src='https://sosovalue.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/sosovalue/web3image/24/11/21/nigrttb2oof5.png'/>

Meme coins that rise to over 100 million USD are rare, and ChillGuy has successfully achieved rapid market cap growth and passive profits amid the general downturn in meme coins today.

More notably, Google Trends shows that in the last 24 hours, the search volume for "how to buy ChillGuy" has surged in the US, with the first result for "how to buy" being Bitcoin, followed by ChillGuy. Meanwhile, numerous tutorials have emerged on YouTube and forums.

When combined with the recent news of the Phantom wallet topping the Google Play Store downloads, it seems that more young players from outside the circle are indeed rushing in.

Some exchanges have also responded quickly; for example, crypto.com has announced the listing of CHILLGUY.

<img src='https://sosovalue.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/sosovalue/web3image/24/11/21/6wwmttb2oo5o.png'/>

However, the original creator of the ChillGuy image does not wish to gain fame in this way.

He expressed his stance on Twitter:

"I have been overwhelmed by the bad information related to crypto, and I have decided to take a break from Twitter for a while."

<img src='https://sosovalue.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/sosovalue/web3image/24/11/21/ih26ttb2oob3.png'/>

Earlier, there were reports that Philb holds the copyright for ChillGuy and has the intention to sue the meme coin of the same name. This caused the CHILLGUY token to drop over 50% at one point, but it has since recovered.

<h2>Nine losses out of ten bets, but there’s a Chill</h2>

In this round of ChillGuy's frenzy, some are happy while others are worried. On-chain data shows that some early players have indeed achieved passive profits:

According to AI Yiyi's monitoring, smart money spent 22,134 USDC to buy 5.01 million $CHILLGUY tokens within two days from November 17 to 19, with a cost as low as $0.0044;

Currently, this smart money has sold 60% of its position, with 2 million tokens transferred to two new addresses, realizing a floating profit of 760 thousand USD.

Original address of the smart money:

28MyYrYpRwAwiACFwKQbzJ7LXAq3tSBPTJzrmG6ep1Fi

Transfer addresses after making money:

DiJA72nChAfqbwbqBpmFdEk7gBFT97JZSBx7faArjGYe

28MyYrYpRwAwiACFwKQbzJ7LXAq3tSBPTJzrmG6ep1Fi

(Note from Deep Tide TechFlow: The above information is for data display only and does not constitute investment advice.)

Even more thought-provoking is that some Twitter users further analyzed this address and found that it had intensively participated in on-chain dog-fighting PVP, being an undeniable "P rookie"; however, the record is also nine losses out of ten bets, with losses as the main outcome.

Yet, a CHILLGUY has turned his losses into profits, allowing him to laugh off all the pain.

<img src='https://sosovalue.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/sosovalue/web3image/24/11/21/1qthttb2oo2l.Some people got up early, chasing dreams with 1 SOL, but arrived late to the party.
<a href="https://x.com/lookonchain/status/1859508762719273085" target="_blank">According to Lookonchain data</a>, a trader bought over 30 million CHILLGUY with 1 SOL shortly after the market opened, which is now worth 10 million USD.
However, he sold early and ultimately made a profit of only 0.6 SOL.
What can we learn from these comparisons?
Energy, luck, timing, and mindset are all indispensable, but even with all of them, success is not guaranteed.
With hands in pockets, you find the Meme market full of opponents; all you can do is to truly be a calm person, lower your expectations, and proceed with caution.

TikTok's popular meme has made its way into the crypto world, valued at 600 million USD. A recap of Chillguy's rapid rise to fame.

The TikTok Meme coin CHILL GUY began to surge on the 19th, with a 24-hour trading volume exceeding 300 million USD and a market capitalization quickly soaring to 500 million USD, attracting market attention towards TikTok Memes. Odaily Planet Daily delves into the TikTok Meme wave and has compiled a reflective journey, along with an introduction to two TikTok Meme projects with significant potential for explosive growth. The author incurred a 50% loss during the research process but remains optimistic about the CHILL GUY and WAIT projects.

Written by: Fu Ruo, Odaily Planet Daily
As the waves of AI and life sciences memes continue to surge, TikTok has once again brought memes to new heights of traffic.
The TikTok meme coin CHILL GUY started to rise sharply on the 19th, with a 24-hour trading volume exceeding 300 million USD and a market capitalization quickly soaring to 500 million USD, drawing market attention to TikTok memes. Meanwhile, a plethora of popular TikTok meme coins have been created, intensifying the market's FOMO sentiment. But which TikTok meme coins have truly emerged? As Warren Buffett famously said, "Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked."
Odaily Planet Daily has also delved into the TikTok meme wave in real-time, compiling a reflection on the experience and introducing two TikTok meme projects with significant explosive potential.
<h2>Meme Experience: Swiped Videos All Night, Account Down 50%</h2>
Last night, I searched for the secret to wealth in various meme groups and found that memes on TikTok were starting to spread in the crypto circle.
Having missed the AI and life sciences memes, I urgently entered the market with a few SOL. Special thanks to HTX's super hot sister for introducing me to the current TikTok meme landscape.
From my research, the hottest meme currently is CHILL GUY (also known as Long Yi), which saw its market cap rise to 500 million USD in just 4 days, with a 24-hour trading volume exceeding 550 million USD. As soon as I opened the TikTok app, there were recommended related videos. Subsequently, other popular memes like WAIT, HUZZ, and GRIDDY began to emerge.
As a newbie in meme investment adhering to value investment principles, I first downloaded TikTok and began "swiping videos" under various related hot topics, trying to uncover the essence of TikTok memes.
Initially, I started to study the hottest CHILL GUY. What caught my eye was a cartoon character resembling a guinea pig, hands in pockets and a blank expression, conveying how to calmly view various things. I must say, this image paired with the catchy background music quickly made me "fall in." I immediately opened GMGN to study the market, where the market cap was just breaking 500 million USD, and the price was constantly rising. Fearing that the "train would leave without me," I quickly bought a portion of the tokens with SOL.
After that, I began to study other related popular memes like WAIT, HUZZ, and GRIDDY. WAIT originates from a catchy dance similar to that on domestic Douyin, where users are mimicking and filming; HUZZ is like a newly developed slang that many people are asking about in the comments or videos. Personally, I think it generally represents a buzzing sound, and the other memes are quite similar.
After browsing through, I felt I had gained a strong understanding of TikTok memes. Here’s a statement I wrote after last night's research, incorporating comments from Placeholder partner made yesterday afternoon.
Meme culture has a characteristic that it needs to be communally recognized by a certain group of people to form a meme culture. Previously, most meme coins in the crypto world needed to be gradually cultivated after issuance, and even required investors to brainwash themselves to recognize that meme coin culture. However, the meme culture pre-certified in TikTok already has a large community supporting it, just as Placeholder partner Chris Burniske said, "When meme coins combine with TikTok's viral propagation, it will reach a peak." This combination itself represents the large-scale adoption that Web3 has always pursued, but this time it's an active fusion from Web2, which carries significant implications.
Interestingly, I found this morning that my meme account had directly lost 50%. Of the several memes I researched yesterday, only two are still alive: one is CHILL GUY, down 50%, and the other is WAIT, while others like HUZZ and GRIDDY are showing signs of going to zero or running away.
I'm glad I didn't choose the small market cap HUZZ and GRIDDY, otherwise, this article would be filled with "resentment." I reflected on some mistakes made during the operation, and I'm writing them down for everyone's reference and caution.
<ol>
<li>
When influenced by the cultural attributes of memes, one should analyze more rationally when purchasing tokens, checking if it’s at the right entry point and avoiding FOMO. Just like I did yesterday, fearing that "the train would leave without me" led to neglecting the current market sentiment, resulting in a 50% loss by chasing a high point.
</li>
<li>
Most meme coins are rare to be tokens that can withstand long-term market validation. How to select the golden dog among numerous memes requires considering first-mover advantage and market propagation. Although CHILL GUY caused me a 50% loss, I still believe it holds value, has first-mover advantage, and is high in market capitalization, having been validated by the market.
</li>
</ol>
</div>HUZZ and GRIDDY were created more after CHILL GUY became popular. They might generate some revenue, but their PVP attributes are too heavy, making them unsuitable for meme novices.
</li>
<li>
Proficient use of tools, such as checking on-chain holdings, etc. I'm not an expert in this area and am still learning. However, my colleagues are quite skilled in this, such as Nan Zhi's following strategies, Golem's opening strategies, and Asher's investment theories. Detailed plans can be found in Odaily's weekly updates on meme operations.
</li>
</ol>
As of now, I still have a positive outlook on CHILL GUY and will increase my holdings at the appropriate time. Notably, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele just posted an image themed around the meme concept CHILLGUY on X, bringing CHILLGUY back to a market cap of $500 million. However, one point to remind everyone is that this coin currently does not have an official Twitter account or any obvious organization. The benefit is that it's very meme-like, but it could also be a fleeting trend, which is quite different from previous AI and life science memes.
Currently, there are roughly two ways to find TikTok memes: first, by scrolling through popular TikTok videos to find keywords and then checking on-chain for tokens with the same name, but be cautious of risks, choosing tokens with a high number of holding addresses and strong liquidity; second, relying on social media and meme groups to understand which memes most players are optimistic about, though this may lead to chasing high prices, it has stronger certainty.
In summary, TikTok memes are a new form, using TikTok as the first front, attracting a lot of fresh Web2 traffic into Web3, which differentiates it from previous meme coin birth methods. However, many projects are also trying to ride the trend, and after just one night, many CHILL-related tokens began to emerge. Given that TikTok memes haven't been around for long, the author's experience last night reflects that most tokens have a short lifespan, so I hope everyone chooses carefully.
<h2>CHILL GUY</h2>
<img src='https://sosovalue.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/sosovalue/web3image/24/11/21/yf7vttb2oo4m.png'/>
CHILL GUY is the iconic meme coin of TikTok memes. CHILL GUY originated from a video posted by the user helicoptero_eli on September 13, where the cartoon character displayed a calm demeanor, remaining nonchalant about most things, combined with catchy background music, which made it popular on TikTok. However, according to the publication dates of other derivative videos, there was no significant promotion from September 13 to early November until recently, when related derivative videos spread wildly, with a total of 24,000 related videos online and an overall view count exceeding 20 million.
As the name CHILL GUY suggests, its characteristics include calmness, emotional stability, and an unflappable attitude in dealing with life. Words may not describe it very accurately; please watch the video.

<h2>WAIT</h2>
<img src='https://sosovalue.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/sosovalue/web3image/24/11/21/8cvqttb2oo9b.png'/>
WAIT originates from a catchy dance on TikTok that has led users from all over the world to imitate it, generating more attention compared to CHILL GUY, with a total of 1.50 million videos online and over 100 million views. However, WAIT seems to have been inspired by CHILL GUY and created on Solana.
I personally feel that WAIT does not have as much cultural spread; compared to CHILL GUY, it lacks some depth in content.
According to GMGN data, WAIT is priced at 0.02 USDT, with a 24-hour increase of 89%, a market cap of $20 million, and a 24-hour trading volume of $136 million.

TikTok Meme Strikes: Personal Experience of Watching Videos All Night, Account Down 50%

The meme track has once again seen a myth of a thousandfold wealth.
Just a Chill Guy – this meme that went viral on TikTok (the overseas version of Douyin) has been brought to the blockchain by crypto enthusiasts, and within days, its market value surpassed 500 million USD.
Smart money in the meme space has made a fortune from it, with one player turning an initial investment of 1,000 USD into over 1 million USD in less than a week.
Just a Chill Guy (CHILLGUY) is a meme coin based on the Solana blockchain, created by artist Phillip Banks in 2023. This anthropomorphic character, dressed in a hoodie, jeans, and sneakers, stands with hands in pockets, exuding a "chill and relaxed" demeanor.
This character has become a sensation on TikTok, beloved by the post-00s generation, symbolizing a "Buddhist, relaxed" lifestyle for the new generation.
In just a few days, CHILLGUY's market value skyrocketed from 10 million USD on Monday to 488 million USD at the time of writing. On-chain data shows that a fortunate trader seized the opportunity and profited over 1 million USD with an investment of just over 1,000 USD.
A wallet holder starting with "9zW" invested 233.89 USD when CHILLGUY first launched on Pump.fun. At that time, the coin's market value was just below 11,000 USD. In the next 30 hours, the coin surged by over 38,800%, reaching a market value of approximately 4.4 million USD. During this period, this trader cashed out 16,200 USD through four transactions.
In the following days, the coin experienced a brief pullback before rising again, but the increase was only 180% of the previous peak. During this period, the trader added another investment of 867.35 USD through three transactions, bringing his total cost to about 1,101.24 USD, most of which likely came from his initial profits.
TikTok is not primarily a platform for cryptocurrency, yet the explosion of CHILLGUY has led many traders to believe that new users are entering the crypto space – perhaps it’s true.
On Tuesday, as CHILLGUY began to surge, a spokesperson from MoonPay told Decrypt that it was a record-breaking day for trading volume on Solana, indicating that more people than ever are using its services to inject funds into the Solana ecosystem.
With a large influx of new investors, CHILLGUY surged on Tuesday and Wednesday, with its market cap skyrocketing from 11.50 million USD to 488 million USD, an increase of over 4,000%.
Within two days, this fortunate trader continued to sell off part of his holdings. As of the time of writing, according to data from DEX Screener, the wallet had sold 411,500 USD worth of CHILLGUY, while it still holds nearly 700,000 USD of CHILLGUY.
This has brought the wallet's total unrealized gains to over 1.05 million USD. However, due to the volatile nature of the meme coin market, these gains have not yet been realized. Once the market direction changes, these unrealized profits could vanish in an instant.
Besides CHILLGUY, the wallet also holds over 100,000 USD in derivatives and 13,700 USD in the AI meme coin Goatseus Maximus (GOAT).
However, despite the token's explosive popularity, its creator does not wish to ride the wave. He stated on Twitter, "I do not support/disagree with my artwork being used for anything related to cryptocurrency. Please stop bothering me."
He then set his Twitter account to private to avoid harassment through private messages.
Nevertheless, some so-called "homage" NFT series to CHILLGUY have been launched, with one of them priced at a minimum of 3 SOL (about 700 USD). Additionally, a large number of derivative meme coins have been launched, including tokens for other characters created by Banks, such as Worried Guy (WORRIEDGUY), which Banks referred to as a "flopcoin" (because the coin's market value failed to exceed 100,000 USD) but later surged to 10 million USD.
So, are you into memes yet?

A wallet holder starting with "9zW" invested 233.89 USD right when CHILLGUY launched on Pump.fun. At that time, the market cap was just slightly below 11,000 USD.

During this time, the trader added another 867.35 USD investment through three transactions, bringing his total cost to about 1,101.24 USD, although most of this likely came from his initial profits.
TikTok is not primarily a cryptocurrency platform, yet the explosion of CHILLGUY has led many traders to believe that new users are entering the crypto space—perhaps it is true.
On Tuesday, the start of CHILLGUY's surge, a spokesperson from MoonPay told Decrypt that it was a record day for Solana trading volume, indicating that more people than ever are using its services to inject funds into the Solana ecosystem.
As a large influx of new investors poured in, CHILLGUY surged on Tuesday and Wednesday, with its market cap skyrocketing from 11.50 million USD to 488 million USD, an increase of over 4,000%.
In two days, this lucky trader continued to sell part of his holdings. As of the time of writing, according to DEX Screener data, the wallet has sold CHILLGUY worth 411,500 USD, while still holding nearly 700,000 USD of CHILLGUY in the account.

This has led to the wallet's total unrealized gains exceeding 1.05 million USD. However, due to the extreme volatility of the meme coin market, this portion of the profit has not yet been realized. Once market conditions change, these unrealized gains could instantly vanish.
Besides CHILLGUY, the wallet also holds over 100,000 USD in derivatives and 13,700 USD in the AI meme coin Goatseus Maximus (GOAT).
However, despite the token's explosive popularity, its creator does not want to ride the wave. He wrote on Twitter: "I do not support/agree with my artwork being used for anything related to cryptocurrency. Please stop bothering me." 
He then set his Twitter account to private to avoid harassment through direct messages.
<img src='https://sosovalue.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/sosovalue/web3image/24/11/21/y0tvttb2oovx.Despite this, there are still some so-called "homage" NFT series to CHILLGUY being launched, one of which has a minimum price of 3 SOL (approximately 700 USD). Additionally, a large number of derivative meme coins have also been released, including other character tokens created by Banks, such as the Worried Guy (WORRIEDGUY) which Banks referred to as "flopcoin" (because its market cap failed to exceed 100 thousand USD), but later soared to 10 million USD at one point.
So, have you played with memes?

Who caught the fortune of Chillguy, turning $1,000 into $1 million?

As the wave of AI and life sciences memes continues, TikTok has once again taken memes to new heights of traffic. The TikTok meme coin CHILL GUY began to surge on the 19th, with a 24H trading volume exceeding 300 million USD and a market cap quickly soaring to 500 million USD, drawing market attention to TikTok memes. At the same time, many popular TikTok meme coins have been created, intensifying market FOMO sentiment. But which TikTok meme coins have truly emerged? As Warren Buffett famously said, "Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked." Odaily Planet Daily also dove into the TikTok meme wave at the first opportunity, compiling a journey of insights and introducing two TikTok meme projects with considerable explosive potential.
Meme Experience: After a night of watching videos, my account lost 50% last night. I was searching for the wealth code in various meme groups and discovered that memes from TikTok were starting to spread in the crypto space. Since I missed the AI and life sciences memes, I entered the market urgently with a few SOL. I want to thank HTX's popular sister for introducing me to the current TikTok meme landscape. From my understanding, the hottest one right now is CHILL GUY (also known as Long Yi), which saw its market cap rise to 500 million USD in just 4 days, with a 24H trading volume exceeding 550 million USD. As soon as I opened the TikTok app, there were related recommendations. Subsequently, other popular memes like WAIT, HUZZ, and GRIDDY began to emerge. As a meme novice adhering to value investing principles, I first downloaded TikTok and started "scrolling through videos" under various related hot topics, trying to find the essence of TikTok memes. First, I focused on the hottest CHILL GUY to study. What caught my eye was a cartoon character resembling a guinea pig, hands in pockets, with a blank expression that tells how to calmly view various matters. I must say, this character paired with catchy background music quickly makes one "fall in". I immediately opened GMGN to study the market; at that time, the market cap was breaking through 500 million USD and the price was continuously rising. Fearing "the train would leave without me", I used SOL to purchase a portion of the tokens. I then began researching other popular memes like WAIT, HUZZ, and GRIDDY. WAIT comes from a catchy dance, similar to what is seen on Douyin in China, where users mimic and film themselves; HUZZ is a newly developed slang that many people are asking about in the comments or videos. Personally, I think it generally represents a buzzing sound; the remaining other memes are quite similar. After browsing through, I felt that I had a strong understanding of TikTok memes. Below is a passage I wrote after last night's research, which also incorporates comments from Placeholder partner earlier in the afternoon. Memes have a characteristic: they need to be collectively recognized by a portion of the group to form a meme culture. Previously, most meme coins in the crypto world needed time to cultivate after launching, and even required investors to brainwash themselves to recognize the culture of that meme coin. However, the meme culture on TikTok, which has been pre-certified, inherently has a large group supporting it, just as Placeholder partner Chris Burniske said, "When meme coins combine with TikTok's viral spread, they will peak." This combination itself is what Web3 has always pursued in terms of mass adoption, but this time it represents a proactive integration of Web2, which carries significant meaning. Interestingly, I discovered this morning that my meme account had directly lost 50%, with only two of the several memes I researched yesterday still surviving: one is CHILL GUY, down 50%, and the other is WAIT, while others like HUZZ and GRIDDY show signs of going to zero or collapsing soon. I am relieved that I did not choose the smaller market cap HUZZ and GRIDDY, otherwise this article would be filled with negativity. I reflected on some mistakes I made during the operation, writing this down for everyone's reference and warning. When you are influenced by the cultural attributes of memes, you should analyze more rationally when purchasing tokens, considering if you are at the right price point, and avoid FOMO. Just like I did yesterday, fearing "the train wouldn't wait for me" led to neglecting the current market sentiment, resulting in a 50% loss by chasing a high point. Most meme coins that have been verified by the market over a long period are rare. How to pick the golden dog among numerous memes requires considering initial advantages and market transmissibility. Although CHILL GUY caused me a 50% loss, I still believe it has value, possesses initial advantages, and has a high market cap, validated by the market. In contrast, HUZZ and GRIDDY were created mostly after CHILL GUY became popular, which may bring profits, but their PVP attributes are too heavy, making them unsuitable for meme novices. Tools, such as checking on-chain holding situations, should be used proficiently; I am not an expert in this area and am still learning. However, my colleagues are more skilled in this regard, such as Nan Zhi's following strategy, Golem's opening strategies, and Asher's investment theories; detailed plans can be found in Odaily's weekly updates on meme operations. As of now, I still hold a positive outlook on CHILL GUY and will increase my holdings at the appropriate time. Notably, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele just posted an image themed on the meme concept CHILLGUY on X, bringing CHILLGUY back to a market cap of 500 million USD. However, one point to remind everyone is that this coin currently does not have an official Twitter account or any clear organization; the advantage is that it is very meme-like, but it also risks being a fleeting trend, which is quite different from the previous AI and life sciences memes. Currently, there are roughly two ways to find TikTok memes: one is to scroll through TikTok's popular videos, then find keywords and check on-chain for tokens with the same name, but be cautious of risks, choosing tokens with a high number of holders and strong liquidity; the second relies on social media and meme groups to understand which memes the majority of players are optimistic about, which might lead to chasing highs but has stronger certainty.In summary, TikTok memes are a new form of content that use TikTok as the primary platform to attract a large influx of fresh Web2 traffic into Web3, distinguishing them from the previous methods of meme coin emergence. However, there are also numerous projects trying to ride the trend; after just one night, many tokens related to CHILL began to surface. Since TikTok memes have not been around for long, the author's experience last night reflects that most tokens have a very short lifespan, so caution is advised when making choices. CHILL GUY is the iconic meme coin of TikTok memes. CHILL GUY originated from a video posted by the blogger helicoptero_eli on September 13, where a cartoon character displayed a calm demeanor and took a laid-back approach to most things, accompanied by catchy background music, which became popular on TikTok. However, based on the release dates of other derivative videos, there was no significant promotion from September 13 to early November, until recent days when related derivative videos spread wildly, with a total of 24 thousand videos online and an overall view count exceeding 20 million. Just like the name CHILL GUY suggests, its characteristics include calmness, emotional stability, and a composed attitude towards life. Text may not accurately describe this, so please watch the video. The token of the same name, CHILL GUY, was created on November 16 on Solana, and there was no significant movement in the first couple of days until the 19th when CHILL GUY began to rise continuously. According to GMGN data, CHILL GUY is at 0.34 USDT, with a 24H increase of 148%, and a market cap of 350 million, with a 24H trading volume of 550 million. Contract address: Df6yfrKC8kZE3KNkrHERKzAetSxbrWeniQfyJY4J. WAIT comes from a captivating dance on TikTok that has led users worldwide to imitate it, gaining more popularity compared to CHILL GUY, with a total of 1.50 million videos online and views exceeding 100 million. However, WAIT seems to have been inspired by CHILL GUY and was created on Solana. Personally, I feel that WAIT does not have as much cultural impact compared to CHILL GUY, lacking somewhat in content depth. According to GMGN data, WAIT is at 0.02 USDT, with a 24H increase of 89%, a market cap of 20 million, and a 24H trading volume of 136 million.

Meme Experience: Lost 50% of My Account After a Night of Watching Videos  
Last night, I was searching for wealth secrets in various meme groups and discovered that memes were beginning to spread in the crypto circle on TikTok. Since I missed the AI and life sciences memes, I rushed in with a few SOL. Special thanks to HTX's super popular sister for introducing me to the current TikTok meme landscape. Currently, the hottest is CHILL GUY (also referred to as Dragon One), whose market cap has risen to $500 million in just four days, and the 24-hour trading volume has exceeded $550 million. As soon as I opened the TikTok app, there were relevant recommendations. Following this, other popular memes like WAIT, HUZZ, and GRIDDY also began to emerge.

As a meme novice following value investment theory, I first downloaded TikTok and started "scrolling through videos" under various related hot topics, trying to find the essence of TikTok memes. First, I chose the hottest CHILL GUY to research. What caught my eye was a cartoon character resembling a guinea pig, hands in pockets, with a blank stare, conveying how to calmly view various matters. I must say, the character paired with rather catchy background music quickly drew me in. I immediately opened GMGN to study the market, at the time the market cap was breaking $500 million, and the price was continuously rising. Afraid that the "car would leave without me," I quickly bought a portion of the tokens using SOL. I then began researching related popular memes like WAIT, HUZZ, and GRIDDY.

WAIT comes from a catchy dance similar to those on Douyin in China, with users imitating and filming; HUZZ resembles a newly developed slang, with many people in the comments or videos asking what it means. Personally, I believe it generally represents a buzzing sound, while the other memes are quite similar. After browsing around, I felt I had a strong understanding of TikTok memes. Below is a passage I wrote after last night's research, which also incorporates comments from Placeholder partner earlier yesterday.

Memes have a characteristic that they need to be recognized by a certain group to form meme culture. Previously, most meme coins in the crypto world needed to cultivate gradually after issuing the coin, and even required investors to brainwash themselves to recognize that meme coin culture. However, the meme culture pre-validated on TikTok already has a large group of supporters behind it. As Placeholder partner Chris Burniske said, "When meme coins combine with the viral spread of TikTok, it will reach its peak." This combination itself is what Web3 has always pursued in terms of mass adoption, but this time it is an active integration from Web2, which represents significant meaning.

Interestingly, this morning I found my meme account directly down 50%, and only two of the several memes I researched yesterday still survived: one is CHILL GUY, down 50%, and the other is WAIT. Others like HUZZ and GRIDDY were showing signs of going to zero or running away. I am glad I didn’t choose the smaller market cap HUZZ and GRIDDY, otherwise, this article would be filled with negativity. 

In summary, I've reflected on some mistakes made during trading, which I write down for everyone's reference and caution. When you are influenced by the cultural attributes of memes, you should be more rational in analyzing whether it is the right point to buy tokens, avoiding FOMO. Just like I did yesterday, fearing that the "car wouldn’t wait for me" led to ignoring the current market sentiment, resulting in a 50% loss, chasing a high point. Most meme coins that can withstand long-term market validation are rare. How to choose a golden dog among numerous memes requires considering first-mover advantage and market virality. Although CHILL GUY caused me a 50% loss, I still believe it is valuable, has first-mover advantage, and a high market cap, validated by the market. On the other hand, HUZZ and GRIDDY were created mainly after CHILL GUY became popular. They may have some returns, but their PVP attributes are too heavy, making them unsuitable for meme novices.

Skilled use of tools, such as checking on-chain holdings, is an area where I am not yet professional and am still learning. However, my colleagues are quite skilled in this area, such as Nan Zhi's copy trading style, Golem's opening strategy, and Asher's investment theories. Detailed plans can be found in Odaily's weekly updates on meme trading records. As of now, I still maintain a positive outlook on CHILL GUY and will consider adding to my position at the appropriate time. It is noteworthy that Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele just posted an image themed around the meme concept CHILLGUY on X, with CHILLGUY returning to a market cap of $500 million. But one point to remind everyone is that this coin currently doesn’t have an official Twitter account or any obvious organization; the advantage is that it’s very meme-like, but there is a possibility it’s just a fleeting wave, which is quite different from the previous AI and life sciences memes.Currently, there are roughly two ways to find TikTok memes: first, by scrolling through popular TikTok videos to identify keywords and then checking on-chain for tokens with the same name, but be cautious of risks by choosing tokens with a high number of holder addresses and strong liquidity; second, by relying on social media and meme groups to understand which memes most players are optimistic about, which may lead to chasing highs but offers stronger certainty. In summary, TikTok memes represent a new form of engagement, using TikTok as the primary platform to attract a fresh influx of Web2 traffic into Web3, distinguishing it from the previous methods of meme coin creation. However, there are also many projects riding the trend; after just one night, many CHILL-related tokens started to appear. Given that TikTok memes have not been around for long, the author's experience from last night reflects that most tokens have a very short lifespan, so caution is advised when selecting them.

CHILL GUY, as a signature meme coin of TikTok memes, originated from a video posted by the creator helicoptero_eli on September 13. The cartoon character in the video displays a calm demeanor and takes most things lightly, paired with an addictive background tune, which became a sensation on TikTok. However, based on the release dates of other derivative videos, there was not much widespread promotion from September 13 until early November, until just a few days ago when related derivative videos began to proliferate, with a total of 24,000 related videos and overall views exceeding 20 million. As suggested by the name CHILL GUY, its characteristics are calmness, emotional stability, and a composed attitude towards life. Words may not capture this precisely; please watch the video.

The token CHILL GUY was created on Solana on November 16, and there was little movement for the first two days until the 19th when CHILL GUY began to surge. According to GMGN data, CHILL GUY is priced at 0.34 USDT, with a 24-hour increase of 148% and a market cap of 350 million dollars, with a 24-hour trading volume of 550 million dollars. Contract address: Df6yfrKC8kZE3KNkrHERKzAetSxbrWeniQfyJY4J.

WAIT comes from a catchy dance on TikTok, sparking imitation from users worldwide, and its popularity surpasses that of CHILL GUY, with a total of 1.5 million videos and over 100 million views. However, WAIT seems to be inspired by CHILL GUY and was created on Solana.

Personally, I feel that WAIT does not carry as much cultural significance as CHILL GUY; it lacks some depth in content. According to GMGN data, WAIT is priced at 0.02 USDT, with a 24-hour increase of 89%, a market cap of 20 million dollars, and a 24-hour trading volume of 136 million dollars.

**Title: What Is Chill Guy? The Viral TikTok Meme Already Making Crypto Traders Millions**  
**Source:** Decrypt  
**Translation by:** Mary Liu  
The meme race sees another myth of thousandfold wealth. Just a Chill Guy – this meme that has gone viral on TikTok (the overseas version of Douyin) has been brought into the blockchain space by crypto enthusiasts, and within days, its market value surged past $500 million. Smart money in the meme space has made a fortune, with one player turning an initial investment of $1,000 into over $1 million in less than a week. Just a Chill Guy (CHILLGUY) is a meme coin based on the Solana blockchain, created by artist Phillip Banks in 2023. This anthropomorphized character, dressed in a hoodie, jeans, and sneakers, with hands in pockets and a "chill and relaxed" expression, became a sensation on TikTok, especially among Gen Z, representing a lifestyle of "Buddhist-like calmness and relaxation".  
In just a few days, CHILLGUY's market cap skyrocketed from $10 million on Monday to $488 million at the time of writing. On-chain data shows that a fortunate trader seized the opportunity, reaping over $1 million in profits from just a little over $1,000 in investments. The wallet holder starting with "9zW" invested $233.89 when CHILLGUY first launched on Pump.fun, when the coin's market cap was just slightly below $11,000. In the following 30 hours, the coin surged over 38,800%, reaching a market cap of approximately $4.4 million. During this period, this trader cashed out $16,200 through four trades. In the next few days, after a brief pullback, the coin rose again, but the increase was only 180% of the previous peak. During this time, the trader added another $867.35 investment through three more trades, bringing his total cost to about $1,101.24, most of which likely came from his initial profits.  
TikTok is not primarily a cryptocurrency platform, but the explosion of CHILLGUY has led many traders to believe that new users are entering the crypto space – perhaps they really are. On Tuesday, as CHILLGUY began its massive rise, a spokesperson from MoonPay told Decrypt that it was a historic day for Solana's trading volume, meaning more people than ever are using their services to inject funds into the Solana ecosystem. With a large influx of new investors, CHILLGUY surged from $1.15 million to $488 million on Tuesday and Wednesday, an increase of over 4,000%. Over these two days, the lucky trader continued to sell off part of his holdings. As of the time of writing, data from DEX Screener shows that the wallet has sold off CHILLGUY worth $411,500, while still holding nearly $700,000 of CHILLGUY. This leaves the wallet with total unrealized gains exceeding $1.05 million. However, due to the extreme volatility of the meme coin market, these gains have not yet been secured. Once market sentiment shifts, these unrealized profits could vanish in an instant.  
In addition to CHILLGUY, the wallet also holds over $100,000 in derivatives and $13,700 in the AI meme coin Goatseus Maximus (GOAT). Nevertheless, despite the token's popularity, its creator does not wish to ride the coattails of this success. He tweeted, "I do not support / agree to my artwork being used for anything related to cryptocurrency. Please stop bothering me." He subsequently set his Twitter to private to avoid harassment in direct messages. Despite this, several so-called "homage" NFT series inspired by CHILLGUY have been launched, with one of them having a floor price of 3 SOL (approximately $700). Additionally, a large number of derivative meme coins have also been introduced, including other character tokens created by Banks, such as Worried Guy (WORRIEDGUY), which Banks referred to as a "flopcoin" for failing to reach a market cap of $100,000, but later surged to $10 million. So, are you playing with memes?

CHILLGUY的市值在短时间内从1000万飙升至4.88亿，一位交易者在不到一周的时间里，从仅投资超过1000的资金中赚取了超过100万。Just a Chill Guy是基于Solana区块链的一个meme币，由艺术家Phillip Banks于2023年创作。这个角色在TikTok上迅速走红，成为新一代年轻人的精神图腾。链上数据显示，一位交易者从仅投资超过1000中获利超过100万。这位交易者在CHILLGUY上线时投资了233.89，当时市值暴涨超过38,800%，第一次兑现了16,200。尽管市场波动性较大，但该钱包的总未实现收益超过105万。创作者Banks不支持将他的艺术作品用于加密货币，并将他的Twitter账户设置为私密。尽管如此，仍然有NFT系列和衍生meme币持续推出。
