Galaxy Digital’s Mike Novogratz confident memecoins are “cornerstone of the crypto economy”

Galaxy Digital CEO trusts that themed digital coins, such as Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, PepeCoin, and Dogwifhat, vital in ensuring stability in the cryptocurrency sector.

Memecoins aren’t going anywhere

The executive emphasized that meme assets are vital in the crypto world, describing the class as the cornerstone of the digital economy.

Novogratz highlighted how themed tokens dominate financial trends as among “the most powerful narratives.”

He added that meme tokens on permissionless blockchains boast over $60 billion in market capitalization.

Memecoins grab investor interest amid market volatility

Themed coins (despite their whimsical and humorous nature) have seen increased attention from investors and traders.

Further, meme cryptos have seen massive accumulation by whale investors. For instance, large-scale traders acquired 200 million $DOGE assets within five days.

Also, PepeCoin has created a buzz with its over 6,000% increase over the previous year.

Moreover, activities like the 445 billion token purchase by Nascent Ventures indicate more price surges for the token.

Furthermore, another trader bought 600 billion SHIB assets from Robinhood.

Massive purchases by market-moving players show confidence in the asset’s future potential

On-chain analyst Will Clemente believes market players prefer meme tokens due to their impressive upside potential.

Indeed, savvy investors have earned enormous returns as assets such as PepeCoin outperformed the markets to hit all-time highs.

Clemente added that meme cryptos attract traders due to their simplicity.

While most players see value in altcoins like XRP and Cardano, their complexity and imprecise fundamentals seem challenging to many.

The analyst explained that retail traders have low chances of earning a 15X profit on larger cap alts. Nonetheless, meme coins have a higher potential of netting such returns.

The profitability potential drives the massive adoption of themed cryptocurrencies.

Further, most individuals migrate to meme coins to avoid stiff competition. Clemente used poker tables as an example.

New players will avoid the table with experienced and high stakers and gravitate to the one accommodating newbies.

That has made meme tokens the market gateway for entry-level crypto investors.
