- Cobie asked “What are TikTok Coins?” after a claim circulated on X earlier this week (Cobie responded, claim on X).
- Comments on X and Twitter mixed playful slang with sparse explanations; one user equated TikTok coins to the meme character Chill Guy (explanation).
- Some observers flagged the trend, including attention from Pump Fun founder Alon Cohen (flagged), and critics called the supposed “meta” questionable (remus tweet).
- TikTok coins are largely memecoins aimed at younger users, often trading on Solana and appearing on easy onboarding sites like Pump Fun.
- Terms tied to the trend include “jestermaxxing” (developing humor skills for social gain) and references to youth slang and meme culture (crypto traders, manufactured humor, incel tropes).
Cobie, a long-time crypto commentator, asked “What are TikTok Coins?” earlier this week after a claim on X suggested they are “the next meta in the trenches” (Cobie responded; claim on X). The question prompted many evasive, playful replies across X and Twitter.
Observers noted attention and pushback from established figures. The topic was highlighted by trends flagged on X (flagged) and drew criticism such as the tweet saying, “Wow Alon came back and immediately started tweeting about a meta that does not exist because he (or his terminal affiliates cronies) want to extract on it? TikTok meta is literally the opposite of what good coins have been lately lol.” (remus).
One respondent clarified the vocabulary by equating TikTok coins with a social signal: “TikTok coins are what Chill Guy was back in the day ser.” (explanation). Chill Guy is a viral October 2023 meme of a cartoon dog that conveys calm indifference.
The same commentator described TikTok coins as, “Basically anything relevant to normies, like jestermaxxing, etc.” That term, jestermaxxing, originated in online subcultures and now refers to improving humor skills to gain social acceptance. Posts tied to the trend often use exaggerated gestures and overt silliness to elicit laughs or validation (manufactured humor) and sometimes lean on recycled online tropes (incel tropes).
In market terms, TikTok coins are largely memecoins — low-utility tokens created around jokes or cultural trends. (A memecoin is a cryptocurrency made mainly for social or cultural reasons rather than technical innovation.) Many of these tokens trade on Solana and appear on user-friendly platforms such as Pump Fun. Crypto traders discussing the tokens on social platforms include figures such as 0xen1.
The conversation highlights a generational divide: the language and platforms used by TikTok communities differ from legacy crypto forums, which can make trend signals hard to read for older traders.
