Vine
This article is about the internet meme. For the original Solana memecoin, see Vine ($VINE).
Vine defunct six-second looping video app that defined a golden age of internet comedy, revived in 2025 as a viral Solana memecoin narrative.
Origin
Vine launched in 2013 (acquired by Twitter) and produced an entire canon of six-second memes and creators before Twitter shut it down in 2017. In January 2025, Vine co-founder Rus Yusupov teased archive/revival activity, igniting a memecoin.
Spread
The $VINE token launched on Solana in January 2025 and rocketed to a multi-hundred-million-dollar market cap as traders bet on nostalgia and a possible official revival, amplified by Yusupov's and Elon Musk's comments about bringing Vine back.
Legacy
A prime example of platform nostalgia becoming a crypto narrative; Vine's cultural footprint remains one of the largest of any short-video app.
