A recent report by Binance Research explores the rise of memecoins as a distinct asset class within cryptocurrencies.
Memecoins have gained popularity due to their simplicity, memetic value, and promotion of fairness, openness, and community development.
However, memecoins also come with risks such as poor survival rates and insider control for pump-and-dump scams.
While memecoins have limited technical contribution, they highlight the importance of building robust communities and providing equal access to cryptocurrency.
