The US midterm elections in 2026 are expected to trigger a wave of market opportunities related to politics. Such events often boost news coverage and trading enthusiasm, a phenomenon that has already been reflected in recent political events.
Meanwhile, derivative platforms like Polymarket are continuously eroding liquidity in the Meme market. As the new darling of the attention economy, political prediction markets will capture a portion of the funds and attention that would otherwise flow into Meme coins.
From the on-chain ecosystem perspective, the current competition landscape among public chains shows clear differences:
SOL leads with abundant liquidity, while PVP (Player versus Player) activity is the most intense, and the PVE (Player versus Environment) ecosystem is also the largest, making it the most active trading arena. BASE ranks second in liquidity, but PVP competition is relatively moderate, and PVE ecosystem development is steadily progressing. BSC performs modestly in liquidity, but its PVP competition is only second to SOL, reflecting its trading heat. These data reveal a deepening trend of ecosystem segmentation among public chains.

Polymarket is really bloodsucking, Meme coin days are getting harder and harder
SOL is still so fierce, liquidity is exploding, but I chickened out, competition is too fierce
Once the political market arrives, you completely miss out on Meme's heat, this time I might have to re-queue
BASE feels quite stable, building the ecosystem patiently, stronger than those chasing the trend
What about BSC? High trading activity but no money, a bit awkward
2026 is still early, but I’m already starting to panic haha
Polymarket really impressed me this time, all my attention was drawn away
Once liquidity shifts to the political track, Meme is really going to cool down

The political market is booming. Meme coins are bound to cool down; liquidity is limited... SOL remains the king of volatility, BASE is the steady type, BSC desperately wants to compete but just doesn't have enough strength.

Polymarket is really gradually eating away at Meme's market share, as the popularity of political betting markets comes and goes.
With SOL's PVP so intense, who still has the mood to play small tokens...
The liquidity landscape has split, and the moderate approach of BASE now seems more comfortable.

Polymarket is snatching meme liquidity? Looks like meme coins are going to fade, as funds are all flowing into political markets.

The political market is really about to suck the blood out of Meme, and it was long overdue to regulate the players at Polymarket.
