Lights, camera, action!
The Winklevoss twins get ready to list Gemini on the stock market, and Soneium (Sony’s blockchain project) launches its first music NFT collection.
The developments indicate that the year ahead looks to be one of big crypto progress, with the pro-crypto outlook under President Trump starting to take root.
As interest in crypto grows, look for the ‘trickle-down’ effect to hit crypto projects across the board – from big names like Gemini to crypto presales like Meme Index.
Time for a closer look at how things are going down.
Gemini Hits Wall Street
Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss weren’t fans of the previous administration, and they’ve eagerly jumped behind Trump, explicitly citing his pro-crypto, pro-business stances.
Both Winklevoss twins are no strangers to Wall Street, either, so the news that they’re considering an IPO for Gemini indicates just how bullish they are on the current outlook.
In the meantime, the move could also trigger another wave of big crypto stock listings.
Major players like Coinbase ($COIN) have been listed for years; it currently trades at $273 per share. But Gemini, who considered an IPO in 2021, famously didn’t go through with it at the time.
Now, with Circle (the company behind the $USDC stablecoin) already filing for an IPO, Gemini’s potential listing could be part of a surge of established crypto players going public.
Crypto Stocks Bode Well for Adoption
Crypto going public on the stock market achieves two purposes:
- It deepens awareness of crypto companies and projects
- It brings TradFi and crypto closer together
The more the two financial economies intersect, the more each one benefits.
As crypto moves mainstream, traditional companies are increasingly making crypto investments. One such example, Sony’s Soneium blockchain, just released its first-ever music NFT collection. The previously unreleased tracks, from NUU$HI, form NFTs that can be minted and sold on Sonova, Soneium’s NFT marketplace.
The initiative is clearly in its earliest stages, with little broader adoption so far. But as a first step, it’s significant, demonstrating serious, established companies like Sony evaluate crypto and web3 investments as well worth the risk.
Meme Index Applies Proven Stock Market Tool to Memecoin Market
In another indication of the stock market moving closer to crypto, the world’s first-ever decentralized memecoin index, the aptly-named Meme Index, moves ever-closer to launch.
The Meme Index presale passed $3.4M raised, with $MEMEX tokens priced at $0.0159713.
The idea is simple; create four indexes to track various baskets of meme coins, each one tailored to a different level of risk.
For true degens, chasing the biggest gains and taking the biggest risks, there’s the Meme Frenzy index.
Anyone looking for more established projects that still have a lot of room for price growth, there’s Meme Moonshot. Fancy even more risk? Meme Midcap targets memecoins that aren’t quite Frenzy-level, but still pack plenty of volatility.
And if you’d prefer established, proven meme coins – vintage Pepes, Doges, and Shibas – then Meme Titan is the index for you.
$MEMEX holders gain access to all of the above, and can allocate tokens between each. They also gain governance rights to help select the exact composition of each index.

$MEMEX Demonstrates New Era of Crypto Innovation
Favorable regulatory winds are pushing new cryptocurrency projects like $MEMEX to innovate more and more. Big crypto names mull stock market listings, while blue-chip public companies like Sony venture further into crypto waters.
It’s shaping up to be a good time to follow the crypto market. But don’t take our word for anything – always check and double-check your information to make the best decision.
And don’t miss the chance to diversify your risk profile with dynamic projects like Meme Index.
