From a Joke to Billions: How Meme Tokens Are Taking Over the Crypto Market

The meme token phenomenon literally blew up the crypto world in 2024.

According to CoinMarketCap, there are 2,700 meme tokens with a total capitalization of $45+ billion.

Why have meme tokens become so popular?

  • Many see them as a chance to get rich quickly, given the growth potential.

  • The low entry threshold makes them accessible to the mass user, which gives them a democratic character.

  • People just like to participate in this process - it's a kind of entertainment, a game.

It is interesting that meme tokens are becoming a tool for charity. Let's remember Vitalik Buterin, who donated $1 billion to SHIB to fight COVID-19, or the Dogecoin community, which finances various social projects.

Critics compare this trend to the ICO bubble of 2017. There are concerns that the ease of creating meme tokens will distract talented developers from serious projects. Plus, we see a lot of fraud and manipulation.

Despite the risks, even major players have taken notice of this trend. VanEck launched the Meme Coin index, and blockchains like TON and BNB Chain actively support meme token creators.

I see meme tokens as a reflection of deeper processes in society and the economy. This includes a protest against traditional financial institutions and a search for new forms of social interaction.
