Safemoon and Vine are Trending Again: Ghost Coins Resurface

When it comes to crypto—especially meme coins—we’re always asking: what’s the next big narrative? Lately, the answer seems to lie in reviving big names from the past.

Currently, both VINE and SAFEMOON are making waves.

Yes, VINE, the short-video app that predated TikTok and Instagram, is back, but this time as a crypto.

VINE, launched by the platform co-founder Rus Yusupov Co-Founder, hit a $440 million market cap within its first day, now stabilizing at $164 million.

Moreover, Vine has sparked a new trend: resurrecting nostalgic names in the crypto space, with SAFEMOON following suit. These familiar names are capturing attention years after their initial success. But are they going to last?

VINE Launches on Solana, Led by Rus Yusupov, Co-Founder of the Original Platform

Launched by Rus Yusupov, co-founder of the original Vine platform, $VINE is the first crypto created by a major tech entrepreneur since the Trump Coin wave.

The token’s mission is to challenge centralized systems by creating a decentralized platform for content creators. It aims to give creators more control and ownership of their work, offering an alternative to traditional platforms.

VINE is currently down 40% from its ATH but still bringing immense volume—over $800 million in the last 24 hours. VINE being backed by the platform’s actual Co-Founder adds credibility to the coin, and traders believe it could catch the attention of many investors because of its nostalgia.

In less than two days, VINE has gained over 102,000 holders. Reaching such a large number so quickly highlights the platform’s virality. Do it for the VINE?

Building on the trend of reviving classics from the past, it seems people just can’t let go of SafeMoon and its original promises. This isn’t the first time someone has launched a meme coin under the SafeMoon name—in fact, it’s quite the opposite.

However, this time it seems to resonate with the current narrative, surging to over $85 million in market cap within hours and reaching $255 million in trading volume.

50% of the supply was sent to HCWL CEO Hunkusun on X, who stated that he burned 10%, added 39% to liquidity, and allocated 1% for KOLs and marketing. This was a very nice gesture for all Safemoon holders.

That being said, the meme coin narratives are shifting rapidly. Since the launches of TRUMP and MELANIA tokens, the market has struggled to settle on a dominant theme.

Instead, we’ve seen a wave of one-day hype coins that quickly fade into obscurity. Will SafeMoon again follow this pattern and fade away, or can it break the cycle this time?

Sloooowly been adding some decent size to #SAFEMOON.

I think it's a potential runner, but $SOL jeets are always rotating quicker than quick to catch the next runner, and eventually they come back.

Marketcap is $20M here, not $34M as dexscreener says. Idk why they so slow to… https://t.co/BUcl5IH3iC pic.twitter.com/cauxjbW1oy
