Will meme coins launch ETFs? The community has been buzzing about this question recently. To be honest, no legitimate institution has actually launched such a product yet. It's more of a dark humor and optimistic imagination among crypto enthusiasts—imagining a day when assets like $DOGE and $SHIB could be recognized by mainstream finance.

However, looking at the data, this imagination isn't entirely baseless. The total market capitalization of meme coins has already surpassed $60 billion, which is a significant size. Meanwhile, $BTC remains stable around $88,814, $ETH is at $3,016, $BNB is priced at $865.15, and $SOL is at $127.05. If a meme coin ETF were to happen, it might need to include popular meme projects within the BNB and SOL ecosystems.

That said, meme coins are known for their extreme volatility. The "ETF" jokes are just that—jokes. Don't let romantic fantasies cloud your judgment and chase after the highs. The future development of crypto ETFs still depends on the attitude of regulatory authorities, which is the decisive factor.

DOGE8.52%

SHIB8.92%

BTC1.56%

ETH3.24%

A market cap of 60 billion is indeed impressive, but if a meme coin ETF really comes out... the regulatory authorities would need to give their approval first, or it's all just talk.

The meme coin ETF is really coming, I would go all in directly, but now I think too much haha --- 600 billion market cap is there, indicating that some people are really playing, regulation is the boss --- Black humor should be just for listening, don’t be fooled by jokes into chasing highs, everyone --- $DOGE and $SHIB mainstream recognition? Unless regulators recognize first, otherwise it's all just wishful thinking --- Meme coin volatility is so high, still thinking about ETF, the speaker may not mean it but the listener might --- Wait for regulatory approval before talking, right now it's just the community having fun --- The market cap breaking 600 billion is real, but I still trust regulation more than probability theory --- If mainstream finance dares to really make a meme ETF, then the crypto world will win big, right? --- Jokes are jokes, making money is making money, just don’t mix them up --- Not following the trend to chase highs is well said, being cautious is the key

600 billion market cap really thinks it's something. If regulators agree, I would do a handstand and eat a keyboard.

600 billion market cap is all piled up, and the SEC still pretends not to see? Laughable, regulation is actually that invisible big hand.

600 billion market cap is all displayed here, saying it's completely impossible is too absolute... but with such big fluctuations, it's really not feasible to play.
