Whether we look at timing or depth, the bear market is basically nearing its end. We’ve reached a critical turning point between the bear and bull markets. So, what’s the play on-chain from here?

First, this transition period will likely last from late 2026 to late 2027.

Early in the bull market, liquidity will periodically flow on-chain.

This liquidity is usually brought in by veteran OG market makers. For example: #bonk in Jan 2023, #pepe in Apr 2023, and #ordi in May 2023. The pattern is very clear: every two or three months, a new narrative, fresh capital, and new tokens come together.

I think Robinhood in August 2026 is clearly the first major wave of this kind of activity in the early bull market.

In this market run, #Pons, with its launchpad narrative, led the pack and drove a number of spin-off tokens on-chain, such as #AI on the Long platform, #stonk on the Stonk platform, and #useless on the Bonk platform.

The second-place narrative was the crypto-stock narrative. It wasn’t as explosive as the launchpad narrative that led the pack, but it was still more than enough to make a killing. Examples include #Marscoin and #BullRun.

When will the next wave of activity come? I think it’s soon. Keep an eye on the large-cap tokens that have appeared this month, worth tens of millions or even over a hundred million. The next Pepe could be among them!
