Memecoins Take Off in 2024: A Double-Edged Sword for Investors
Meme coins have seen remarkable growth this year, with 75% of all crypto projects launched in 2024 categorized as such, according to a report from Binance Research.
While these coins have been around since Dogecoin’s debut, their popularity has surged recently, largely driven by current economic conditions like inflation and changes in global money supply.
The report highlights that, despite their appeal and community-building potential, meme coins often prioritize financial gains over technological innovation.
