Meme Coins
+ FollowMeme coins are crypto assets based on internet memes, celebrities or social-media trends, with prices largely driven by attention and trading activity. Recent market activity has centered on rapid token launches across Base, Robinhood's new chain and Solana. It has included a surge in CASHCAT and on-chain revenue generated by Pump.fun, but also sharp crashes triggered by profile-picture changes, platforms halting launches, governance attacks, hacked accounts and rug pulls. Their high volatility is affecting liquidity on public blockchains, platform governance and investor losses, making fund flows, security risks and regulatory developments important areas to watch.
