The Memecoin Dilemma: Boosting Adoption or Harming Crypto’s Reputation?

Memecoins attract new users to crypto but also pose risks due to their volatility. A study found that 21% of first-time investors quit after losses in politically endorsed memecoins.

Experts warn that memecoin collapses can harm liquidity and destabilize ecosystems, as seen in Solana’s declining trading volume. While some, like Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, see memecoins as a gateway to mass adoption, others argue they must evolve with real utility to be sustainable. Investors are advised to be cautious, avoid tokens with concentrated ownership, and prioritize liquidity before investing.
