Meme

Meme coins are community-driven cryptocurrencies inspired by internet culture, social media trends, and viral humor. While often volatile, they represent the "social layer" of crypto, fostering massive, highly engaged communities. In 2026, the meme sector has evolved beyond speculative trading into community-led incubators and fair-launch platforms on chains like Solana. Follow this tag to analyze market sentiment, viral tokenomics, and the cultural impact of assets like DOGE, PEPE, and the next generation of social tokens.

Canary Capital launches the ETF MRCA

Canary Capital launches the ETF MRCA

The post Canary Capital launches the ETF MRCA appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. S-1 filing submitted to the SEC on August 25, 2025: Canary Capital puts the USA crypto ETF “Canary American‑Made Crypto ETF” with ticker MRCA on the table, designed to offer exposure to digital assets with predominantly American roots and with a planned listing on Cboe BZX. The fund aims to transparently replicate the proprietary index, operating through direct exposure – without leverage and without derivatives – and entrusting custody to a trust regulated in the United States. It should be noted that the setup is deliberately essential, with a straightforward operational architecture. According to the data collected from the analysis of public filings and reports from market operators, the SEC’s requests for clarification on crypto products tend to focus on custody, governance, and risks related to staking. Industry analysts observe that a geographical filter like the “Made‑in‑USA” requirement can facilitate regulatory dialogue on compliance aspects, while not eliminating the need for operational details (e.g., names of custodians and slashing policies). In the past, similar processes have seen documentary integrations requested by the SEC within a timeframe that typically varies from 30 to 120 days. What MRCA offers new MRCA is created to channel capital towards protocols and tokens closely linked to the development, governance, or infrastructure of the United States. The proposal includes: Physical replication of the index through the direct purchase of eligible tokens; Exclusion of stablecoin, memecoin, and tokens pegged to traditional currencies or assets; Quarterly rebalancing of the index, with criteria related to liquidity and compliance; Possibility of staking for proof‑of‑stake consensus assets through third-party providers, with rewards reinvested in the NAV; Custody entrusted to a regulated trust (based, for example, in South Dakota) and management of the majority of reserves in cold storage (custody insight). “Made‑in‑America Blockchain Index”: selection criteria and exclusions The “Made in America”…

Dogecoin, Pepe, Bonk and Layer Brett

Dogecoin, Pepe, Bonk and Layer Brett

The post Dogecoin, Pepe, Bonk and Layer Brett appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News As 2025 enters its late innings, investors are once again scanning the field for the best meme coin to buy before the next parabolic run. Tokens like Dogecoin, PEPE, and BONK each had their glory days in recent years, pushing into mainstream headlines and capturing retail FOMO cycles. But the reality is clear: these household names now require billions in incremental inflows just to make a dent on the chart. The true parabolic trade is shifting toward Layer Brett ($LBRETT), a newly-launched institutional-grade Ethereum Layer 2 scalability solution laced with memecoin branding and viral dynamics—and whose crypto presale has just broken the $1 million mark. Dogecoin: Still the top dog Once the king of memes, Dogecoin has been struggling for years to reclaim its 2021 magic. Despite constant chatter about Dogecoin hitting $1, the token continues to stall near heavy resistance levels. For Dogecoin to climb beyond that, it would require tens of billions in fresh liquidity, an unlikely scenario given today’s fragmented markets. Nevertheless, it remains a solid hold as an index on the global memecoin market—but with thinner profit margins. PEPE: Will it struggle to stick? The rise of PEPE in 2023 and 2024 was legendary, transforming a simple meme into a multi-billion-dollar cap asset. Yet that very success now works against it. With a current valuation that leaves little headroom, PEPE needs massive new inflows just to deliver a 2x–3x, hardly the moonshot degens are chasing. While PEPE movements still grab headlines, savvy traders know the parabolic moment has likely passed. It’s no longer the lottery ticket it once was, but it can still be a good play for slightly better gains than Dogecoin. BONK: Already losing mindshare BONK rode the wave of Solana meme coins in late 2023 to record highs. But cracks are…

Solana and Cardano Investors Shift Focus, As This New Ethereum L2 Draws In Thousands With 2000% Rewards

Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA) investors are quickly moving their attention to a new project that’s getting a lot of buzz: Layer Brett (LBRETT). This Ethereum Layer 2 memecoin is in presale right now, and early buyers are being promised staking rewards as high as 55,000% APY.  That’s creating major FOMO in both DeFi and […]

Ripple (XRP) and Cardano (ADA) Eye $5 In 2025, But It;s Another Crypto Capturing The Eye In August

Ripple (XRP) and Cardano (ADA) Eye $5 In 2025, But It;s Another Crypto Capturing The Eye In August

The post Ripple (XRP) and Cardano (ADA) Eye $5 In 2025, But It;s Another Crypto Capturing The Eye In August appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News The crypto community has been buzzing over whether Ripple (XRP) and Cardano (ADA) can push toward the elusive $5 mark in 2025. On paper, both tokens have brand recognition and established ecosystems. However, both already command multi-billion-dollar market caps. That means even a modest XRP or Cardano price run requires a flood of fresh liquidity. For traders chasing parabolic upside, the “boomer coin” days of XRP and ADA are showing cracks. The smart money, meanwhile, is quietly rotating into Layer Brett ($LBRETT) and its crypto presale, a next-generation meme-flavored Ethereum Layer 2 scalability solution poised to capture institutional flows and community hype in equal measure. Here’s why. Ripple’s uphill climb to $5 While Ripple continues to win regulatory battles, its path to a sustainable XRP breakout is far from clear. Yes, the network supports cross-border payments, but with a $150+ billion diluted valuation, the math doesn’t add up for high-multiple gains. For XRP to convincingly move from $3 to $5, it needs tens of billions in incremental capital. In today’s capital-efficient market, that’s a tall order. XRP is a “liquidity trap” that looks like a blue chip but doesn’t offer the kind of asymmetric returns. Even if Ripple succeeds in capturing bank adoption, its upside is capped by its gargantuan market cap. FACTS. Cardano ivory tower problem Cardano (ADA), meanwhile, remains a polarizing token. While founder Charles Hoskinson champions academic rigor, the chain has faced years of criticism for slow development, thin DeFi adoption, and a culture that feels more like a research lab than a vibrant Web3 hub. Impressive on paper, but lacking in on-the-ground execution. Worse, for Cardano to climb from $0.50 levels toward $5, it would require not just adoption, but a wholesale narrative reset. With Solana and Ethereum commanding developer mindshare, ADA risks being…

Key Shiba Inu Metric Collapses by 94%, Costing Millions of SHIB

The post Key Shiba Inu Metric Collapses by 94%, Costing Millions of SHIB appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SHIB burn rate down on all fronts – minus 95% SHIB rebounds 3.25% Popular blockchain tracking platform Shibburn has revealed that, just recently, the burn rate of the second-biggest meme cryptocurrency, SHIB, has faced a drastic fall as it collapsed by almost 100%. Still, there is some good news about it that partly makes up for this negative and unexpected pivot. You Might Also Like SHIB burn rate down on all fronts – minus 95% According to the above-mentioned on-chain data source, over the past week, the Shiba Inu community has failed to hold the SHIB burn rate in the green zone. Over the past seven days, this metric has collapsed by 94.05%. However, even with this fall, millions of meme coins were still transferred out of the circulating supply — 9,434,807 SHIB. As for the daily burn rate, things stand worse here, since with a similar decline (minus 95.46%), the community has burned only as little as 169,895 SHIB.

Printing multiple consecutive red candles on an hourly chart, Shiba Inu mirrored the price curve of the flagship cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, on that day. Still, today’s price rise was followed by a small decline as SHIB went down by 1.18%. At press time, it is changing hands at $0.00001210 per coin.

Is it a cognitive lag or a misjudgment of value? Decoding Wall Street's three main reasons for rejecting crypto assets

Is it a cognitive lag or a misjudgment of value? Decoding Wall Street's three main reasons for rejecting crypto assets

By Gino Matos, CryptoSlate Compiled by Shaw Golden Finance Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies appear to be on the verge of mainstream acceptance, with inflows into U.S. spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) hitting record highs. Goldman Sachs holds more shares in the cryptocurrency ETF issued by BlackRock than any other institution, and corporate finance departments from Strategy to Bitmine are also embracing digital assets. However, a recent Bank of America survey showed that three-quarters of global fund managers still firmly refuse to dabble in digital assets. Max Gokhman, deputy chief investment officer at Franklin Templeton, said the seemingly contradictory data did not stem from regulatory uncertainty or operational complexity, as those obstacles have largely been resolved. In an interview, Gokman said the skewed data stems from fear, misunderstanding and the industry's difficulty in letting go of its ingrained belief in legitimate investments. Gokman has been watching how traditional finance responds to the digital asset revolution for years. He noted: “The biggest reason is that it often takes a while for a mature industry to realize it’s falling behind. This fear of the unknown is always there.” Management Paradox Fund managers take pride in fulfilling their fiduciary responsibilities, but this protectiveness creates a paradox: the desire to protect client assets prevents them from accessing the investment opportunities that their clients increasingly desire. According to Gochman: “One aspect of good asset management is understanding client needs. From individual clients to institutional clients, they are more interested in digital assets, but they find that their investment managers don’t actually provide relevant solutions.” This resistance stems from some deep-seated misconceptions: one is that it’s all overly speculative and worthless, and another is that there’s a lack of people with the expertise to create legitimate investment solutions using digital assets. Meme Coin Trap When Gokman encounters skeptical colleagues, the conversations follow a predictable pattern: Veterans of traditional finance will dismiss Meme Coin as representative of the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem, revealing what he calls a superficial understanding. Just as the stock market encompasses everything from blue-chip dividend stocks to speculative biotech stocks, digital assets range from mature protocols that generate real income to purely speculative tokens. His reaction has become natural: “Because you invest in stocks, does that mean you only buy penny stocks that trade on the pink sheets? There are a lot of companies in high-yield bonds that most rational investors wouldn’t touch. Most asset managers will tell you they hold emerging market stocks and distressed debt. It’s a key asset class for them.” Gochman stressed that this skepticism is selective. Fund managers are comfortable with Venezuelan bonds, a financial instrument that has defaulted many times, but are hesitant to invest in Bitcoin, which has never defaulted in 15 years. While fund managers continue to debate the legitimacy of cryptocurrencies, the market has quietly shifted. The data cited by Gokman refutes the notion of retail investors dominating the market: 89% of Bitcoin transactions on exchanges are for amounts exceeding $100,000. He emphasized: “That’s not retail money. The market is becoming more institutional.” Educational Challenges Franklin Templeton’s response involved a three-tiered outreach campaign targeting central bankers, institutional intermediaries, and retail investors. The crucial middle layer consisted of large brokerage firms and platform owners, who controlled access to millions of clients but had little understanding of their needs. Gokman asked these players if they had ever asked their customers if they wanted cryptocurrency. He added: “They might have an account on Coinbase and have the majority of their wealth there. And you have no idea what’s going on.” Traditional advisors often find that their clients’ wealth is spread across multiple platforms, and the digital assets accumulated by their clients themselves are not included in the professionally managed portfolios. Franklin Templeton's breakthrough lies in interpretation: expressing blockchain concepts in traditional financial language. When analyzing Solana, they didn't invoke revolutionary rhetoric, but instead calculated discounted cash flows. Gochman explained: “If you actually pay fees on every transaction, like Solana does, we can project the growth of those transactions. Those are future cash flows. We can discount them to the present.” This approach demystifies digital assets by applying a familiar analytical framework that any investor with basic valuation training can understand. It all comes down to revenue With the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut looming, Gokman saw an opportunity. With traditional sources of income facing declining returns and institutions facing increasing pressure to generate revenue, cryptocurrencies offered an alternative. According to him: “Everyone needs income. Staking is a clear way to get income. When people tell me they’re worried this whole thing (cryptocurrency) is a scam, have you ever wondered if the government will just cancel all the debt? Because I’ve been there.” The recent guidance from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on liquidity staking could be a turning point. For the first time, regulated products can offer staking returns without directly holding cryptocurrencies. Gokman predicts that this resistance won’t last indefinitely if a staking-backed cryptocurrency ETF is approved. He predicts: “When we can show the benefits, I think it will drive more adoption.” This shift could accelerate suddenly. Institutional adoption typically follows a pattern of persistent skepticism until competitive pressures force large-scale action. A significant cryptocurrency divide remains between the 75% of fund managers who adhere to traditional frameworks and a growing consortium that recognizes the need to embrace technological change in client service. The question isn’t whether the gap will narrow, as economic pressures will eventually force acceptance on all sides. The question is which managers will lead the way and which will scramble to catch up.
