U.S. law enforcement recently seized $1.5 million worth of crypto assets from a scam gang, including meme coins like DOGE and PEPE. This case has once again brought regulatory attention to this type of token. Speaking of meme coins, the wave of politically themed meme coins driven by the election cycle at the end of last year was indeed popular — reaching a market cap of $150.6 billion at its peak. But the good times didn't last long, and it soon entered a deep correction. This incident may accelerate regulators' scrutiny of the meme coin market, as their high liquidity and extreme volatility naturally make them easy tools for scams. For ordinary investors, this is also a reminder: stay vigilant when dealing with such high-risk assets.

Memes are essentially a casino, I knew something was going to happen with that 150.6 billion market capitalization. --- The scam groups are all playing with memes, what does that indicate? The liquidity is too good for playing people for suckers, that's the risk. --- Just wait and see, the regulatory iron fist is coming, and those retail investors will be crying. --- DOGE has been used by scam groups, what can we say? The crypto world is really a mess. --- With high fluctuation and the tendency to rug pull... sounds nice, but it's actually a harvesting machine. --- Why not be more cautious? High risk means you should stay away, does it need reminding? --- I warned during the election phase, yet a bunch of people still got trapped, they deserve it. --- 1.5 million is just a small scene, the real black hole hasn't surfaced yet. --- There are bubbles in memes, but scams are the real tumor. --- Once the regulation comes, those VCs and large investors have long since rugged, and the ones suffering are still the bottom retail investors.

Here we go again, meme coins are being used as negative examples... The confiscation of 1.5 million dollars is indeed a lot, but compared to the peak market cap of 150 billion, it's just a drop in the bucket.
