The memecoin frenzy of 2025 shows both the strength and the weaknesses of crypto markets. On one hand, memecoins like PEPE and WIF demonstrate the power of community-driven narratives to bootstrap liquidity and attention. On the other, the extreme volatility highlights the risks of speculative mania. What’s fascinating is how memecoins often act as liquidity gateways, onboarding new users into ecosystems. While they may not hold long-term value, they function as cultural entry points. The challenge is converting this speculative energy into sustainable participation in DeFi, NFTs, and governance.
