Gate Research Daily Report: On March 16, the crypto market showed a rebound and recovery, with both BTC and ETH moving higher. However, capital continues to concentrate primarily in major assets, while opportunities among altcoins are mainly reflected through structural rotation.

The pricing of Chinese meme coins is not grounded in expectations of future cash flows or technological progress, but is jointly shaped by structural changes in narrative transmission efficiency, the intensity of emotional consensus, and the density of attention. From the perspective of narrative economics, meme coins are not an exception marked by the collapse of value, but rather an extreme manifestation of “consensus preceding value”: price no longer serves as a shadow of intrinsic value, but as a metric of whether a narrative continues to be believed. Chinese meme coins are therefore not merely financial assets, but also vehicles for social sentiment and identity formation, with trading behavior simultaneously encompassing risk-based speculation, emotional compensation, and group belonging. In recent years, as attention has become an increasingly scarce resource, price has effectively become a quantitative expression of attention density.
