2024 in the crypto world is the "Year of Meme Coins." These coins may lack practical applications born from internet meme culture, yet their cultural symbolism and community influence are undeniable. From Shiba Inu to Pepe the Frog, various memes have transformed into popular cryptocurrencies. Meme coins, leveraging unique marketing strategies, have lured new investors. In the first quarter alone, meme coins' market cap soared to nearly $70 billion, with Solana-based coins like WIF and BONK leading the charge. However, the extreme volatility of meme coins poses significant risks. Their meteoric rise has sparked a reevaluation of value investing and injected a fresh dose of excitement into the crypto market.
