The $DETECTIVE narrative taps into the meme’s explosion, triggered by a Reddit comment by u/liyah4455 on r/Dexter on September 23, 2024, as Doakes drives, and the caption, “How it feels when you’re right but you can’t prove it,” receives more than 3,300 upvotes. The meme style exploded in 2025, as TikTok videos such as @.a5l9’s April 2 post of “knowing your brother is gooning” (6.9 million views) and @honestlybored_’s April 17 post of an eyed money-laundering business (17 million views) propelled the meme into the mainstream. X posts such as @Nugjokes’ July 16 Pedro Pascal joke (205,000 likes) also help drive the trend, as the Dexter: Resurrection TV show revival brings the trend mainstream. $DETECTIVE, which launched on Pump.fun, capitalizes on this viral momentum, as meme users react to its social aspect, as Forbes discovered, citing its $0.0025 price and 1.05% day rise.
The cultural significance of memes propagates via avenues like TikTok and X to promote the success of tokens like $BoatKid and $GENES, themselves successes as viral narrative piggybacking. The White House roadmap for crypto, published on July 31, 2025, calling for clarity on regulation, may help to bolster market confidence, to the advantage of Solana’s meme coin market. The threat of pump-and-dump remains over the market, as for tokens $CUBA and $MALAYSIA. For speculators enticed by the excitement of unfounded rumor and Solana’s speculative mania, $DETECTIVE offers a risk-reward proposition to participate in a meme coin with high spike potential, fueled by Doakes’ continuing meme heritage.
