LUCE multiplied by k overnight, the true "religious MEME" is here?

Original author: Shenzhen TechFlow

After the frenzy brought by AI and art Meme, yesterday’s Solana Meme market ushered in a long-awaited rest day. There were almost no new ‘Golden Dogs’ for the entire day, and the previous fervent art concept largely slumped by 50%.

Although emotions may fade, the market never sleeps. Last night, when a player (editor) on the chain was about to finish work and go to sleep, the monitoring Bot suddenly sounded an alarm. A Meme with a market cap of millions appeared in the late night. This time, it is the official mascot of the Vatican, Luce ($LUCE), which has been formally announced.

Within half a day of going live, $LUCE Market Cap reached a peak of nearly $53 million, once again waking up the somewhat sleepy Meme market. Deep Tide has compiled some information about Luce to give you a comprehensive understanding of Luce’s background and concept targets.

To attract young people, is religion also embracing the second dimension?

Holy Year Mascot Luce

As a theocratic state that believes in Catholicism, the Vatican has always given people a sense of sacredness and nobility of religion. However, this time, the Vatican is unusual, and in order to celebrate the upcoming holy year of Catholicism, it has created a mascot with a two-dimensional image. The latest mascot, called Luce, was designed by Simone Legno, co-founder of Italy pop culture brand tokidoki, which means “light” in Italy, and Vatican Archbishop Rino Fisichella said Luce is part of the Vatican’s desire to engage with “popular culture that young people love.” Details: Learn about today’s hottest Meme Luce: From the temple to the Comic Con, the Vatican’s “two-dimensional” girl welcomes the jubilee

Not only that, this week Luce will also make an appearance at the famous Lucca Comics & Games convention in Italy and the Vatican Dicastery for Communication will set up a dedicated exhibition area for ‘Luce and Friends’, showing that the Vatican still attaches great importance to the trend of ‘youthification’.

Starting from zero, Market Cap surpassed 10 million overnight

After introducing the background of Luce, readers are most concerned about how this coin can skyrocket to a market capitalization of 50 million in half a day. From the perspective of an on-chain player, the author will talk about the situation of the opening of $LUCE that I participated (mistakenly) in the whole process.

At around 0:20 in the morning, when the editor was about to close the computer, suddenly saw the contract Address of on-chain MEME group friend $LUCE, and found that the $LUCE Market Cap was around 70,000 USD at that time, just when the Pump.Fun on-chain shares were about to go online on Raydium off-chain. Due to the painful market conditions yesterday, most new coins were smashed shortly after going online off-chain, so the editor didn’t take $LUCE seriously :)

In less than ten minutes, when I looked at the group again, it was already boiling. The editor, who felt something was wrong, took another look at the Bot and found that the Market Cap of $LUCE had approached 2 million dollars, and the price had almost reached 30 times the off-exchange price. Half an hour after going online, the price increase was around 60 times, and the Market Cap reached 5.2 million dollars.

The last time we saw a pump like this, starting from zero and pumping straight up, was with $Ban and $EYE. Knowing that I couldn’t get on board, I had to go to sleep. When I woke up, the market cap had already reached $40 million.

Luce and friends, concept Token inventory

As of the time of writing this evening, $LUCE has not dropped to zero, and the price is still hovering around 30-40 million. At the same time, some players who missed out have chosen coins with similar concepts, after all, Luce’s two-dimensional image is a whole series, if Luce doesn’t rush, there are still pets and friends.

Note: The Meme Token price fluctuates greatly and carries a high level of risk. Investors should fully assess the risks and participate with caution.

Summary

As of the completion of the article, the Market Cap of $LUCE is still around 40 million, but the related concept did not rise with the leader.

From the perspective of on-chain players, the pump speed of $LUCE is too fast and too urgent, and the trend is more like deliberately manipulated by the market maker, replicating the ‘frenzied golden dog’ pump method of the recent period. For more market participants, this rapid pump may not leave more space for the market to understand this concept, or everyone is already accustomed to such sudden hotspots, so they are not interested in imitating the market.

In short, although the price of $LUCE is still relatively strong, as a Token that is somewhat like a “conspiracy group”, it is possible for the market cap to drop to zero in an instant. Don’t get too excited and don’t FOMO, opportunities will always come again. Over.
