Gate Research Institute: Bull Run Wealth Engine - A Panorama and Future Outlook of the Meme Trading Bots Track

Gate Research's latest release "Bull Wealth Engine - Meme Trading Bot Track Panorama and Future Prospects", in-depth analysis of the rise of the meme trading bot track under the 2023-2025 crypto market boom cycle. With market data as the core, the report dismantles the development of meme trading robots from multiple dimensions such as technological evolution, competitive landscape, capital flow, user ecology and future trends, and summarizes the core opportunities and challenges of the track.

Key Takeaways

• Market Background: From 2023 to 2025, the price of Bitcoin soared from $16,217 to $106,030, an increase of 590%, driving the prosperity of the entire crypto market. Meme coins became the core narrative of this bull market, leading to an explosive growth in token issuance and giving rise to the emerging sector of meme trading bots.
• Technological Evolution: Meme trading bots, as a niche segment of DEX trading bots, originated from the launch of the Bancor trading protocol in 2017 and have continuously evolved alongside the development of decentralized exchanges (DEX). Their core value lies in automated trading capabilities, combined with on-chain data analysis and smart execution strategies, enhancing user trading efficiency and profitability.
• Competitive Landscape: As of February 2025, the meme trading bot market exhibits a strong Matthew effect, with the top five bots (Trojan, Bonkbot, Maestro, Banana Gun, Sol Trading Bot) collectively holding 80.7% of the market share, while the remaining 40 bots share less than 20%.
• User Stickiness and Ecosystem Lock-in: Users become dependent on the interface habits of trading bots, data asset management, and economic incentive mechanisms, which increases switching costs. For example, the referral incentives of Trojan Bot (trading fee discounts and revenue sharing) and the token economic model of Banana Gun ($BANANA trading rewards) both enhance user retention.
• Security Concerns: Although the meme trading bot market is growing rapidly, it still faces issues such as centralized wallet risks, lack of security audits, and frequent phishing attacks. As the market size expands, security will become a key variable affecting the competitive landscape, and platforms that take the lead in improving their security systems will gain an advantage.
• Economic Value: The meme trading bot not only helps users seize market opportunities but also creates a highly profitable business model. For example, GMGN, with a team of only 20 people, has monthly server costs of $100,000, yet its cumulative fee income has approached $60 million, demonstrating an extremely high ROI.
• Future Outlook: The viral spread and high volatility of meme coins align with the speculative demands of the crypto market, and they may become a "new retail" model for assets in the future. Although the regulatory environment brings uncertainty, as long as the meme coin market remains active, trading bots still have vast growth potential, and they may even form a new trading paradigm, similar to how DEX challenges CEX.
