According to reports, the first meme token, CMY, will be issued on the SUI public chain on December 1, 2025, to celebrate the tenth birthday of Max, the eldest daughter of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. This initiative, combining birthday commemoration with digital exploration, has garnered widespread attention.

As a renowned figure in both the tech and philanthropic sectors, Zuckerberg’s emphasis on family and his commitment to public welfare are closely linked. Following the birth of his eldest daughter, Max, on December 1, 2015, he announced on social media that he and his wife, Priscilla Chan, would donate 99% of their Facebook shares (approximately $45 billion) to advance human potential and promote peace. This donation plan is being facilitated through the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI). As of August 2025, the foundation had invested a total of $3.4 billion in human health research, covering key areas such as the establishment of an artificial intelligence research institute and the development of biomedical imaging technology.

About Chen Mingyu

Chen Mingyu (Max) is the eldest daughter of Mark Zuckerberg and his Chinese-American wife, Priscilla Chan. Born on December 1, 2015, his Chinese name, “Chen Mingyu,” carries profound meaning: “Chen” is taken from his mother’s surname, “Ming” represents tomorrow, and “Yu” refers to the universe, reflecting the couple’s vision of a “better future for the world.” Shortly after Chen Mingyu’s birth, during the Year of the Monkey, Zuckerberg released a New Year’s greeting video featuring the three of them, wishing them “Happy Monkey Year” in Chinese. This was the first time he publicly announced the name, demonstrating his commitment to Chinese culture.

The issuance of the CMY token coincides with Chen Mingyu’s tenth birthday and the tenth anniversary of the Zuckerbergs’ philanthropic commitment. Notably, Zuckerberg has long been interested in and explored the cryptocurrency space, having previously promoted the Libra project and emphasized the importance of financial innovation, believing that “without innovation, America’s financial leadership will be unreliable.”  Despite previous regulatory challenges facing related projects, he has always recognized the potential of cryptocurrencies in promoting access to financial services, and this token issuance is seen as another attempt in this area.

Meanwhile, Zuckerberg and his wife’s philanthropy is undergoing a strategic adjustment. In April 2025, the free public elementary school supported by the CZI Foundation announced its closure. The foundation also pledged $50 million over five years to support the development of the communities it previously served, and its philanthropic focus is gradually shifting toward science and AI.

The issuance of a token named after Chen Mingyu’s initials in Chinese pinyin is not only a perfect birthday gift for Chen Mingyu, but also adds a new footnote to the integration of digital exploration and philanthropic practice. It is currently confirmed that the CMY token will be launched on the SUI public chain on December 1, 2025, and listed on exchanges on February 1, 2026. The specific technical details and issuance mechanism of the CMY token have not yet been disclosed, and the market is closely monitoring subsequent developments.
