The post Meme Index: World’s First DAO-Governed Memecoin Index Launches With 4 Categories appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Meme Index has JUST launched its presale offering the world’s first decentralized meme coin index. Blending the standard meme coin baskets made popular recently thanks to VanEck and other major enterprises, and putting them in the decentralized zone, the Meme Index aims to revolutionize meme coin investment.
Will it be enough to make it the next big crypto of 2025?
Changing Meme Coin Investments for the Better with Indexes
One of the biggest warning labels people receive when they get into meme coin investment is don’t put all your investments into a single meme crypto. This is a legitimate concern since the volatility of the market impacts these assets the most. However, diversifying isn’t easy. Most meme coins have a wildly different community, and their price movements can reflect that. So, if a meme coin spikes in value while the other crashes at the same time, while users may offset their losses, there is nothing to be gained.
Indexes offer a better solution. Bundling multiple crypto assets of similar nature, they offer a more streamlined approach to investment. With Meme Index, this approach involves taking multiple meme coins of similar nature and putting them in a basket. The added element of versatility makes meme coin investment relatively safe.
Meme Index accomplishes this by providing four categories of indexes.
Titan Index
This index contains tokens that are considered titans of the industry. That is, OG cryptos that have already made it to the top of the crypto charts. Because they have already gained an elevated status, their performance is similar to standard crypto assets.
Take Pepe, for example. While the token has surged a lot since launch, when we look at its performance over the last six months, it has only risen by double digits, despite being very volatile. Due to its high-cap status, it might not experience a massive parabolic action soon, which makes it a relatively safe bet for most meme coin investors.
Moonshot Index
Next is the Moonshot index, and the tokens within this basket aim to topple the titan meme cryptos. These are also high-cap tokens but their market capitalization hasn’t reached the $1 billion mark. These assets are more volatile than high cap meme coins, but they have gone mainstream enough to gain people’s trust.
Midcap Index
This index is where a token’s volatility truly starts to show its face. These mid-cap assets have a market cap ranging between $50 million to $250 million, and they are trying to become the next big mainstream cryptos. The price action of these assets is immensely volatile, making most investors wary of them, but not enough to scare people away.
Frenzy Index
This index is for those who understand the risks and are not willing to forego the perks. This contains the most volatile tokens, ones that make it to the hottest pairs list on sites like Birdeye and Dextools, only to disappear the next day. Requiring constant attention and a degen mindset, these are the tokens that either make or break one’s wealth.
What Makes Meme Index Different From Standard Memecoin Indices?
The first quarter of 2024 saw the arrival of multiple meme coin indexes. WOO X, a tier-2 cryptocurrency exchange was the first to introduce a set of index perpetual contracts linked to meme coins. Days later VanEck, a prominent asset management firm, joined the meme coin frenzy by introducing a new index for popular meme coins.
However, both of these entities are centralized, with the index rebalancing depending on a single authority. Security concerns and a lack of community participation further complicates matters, since there is no creativity behind their implementation.
Meme Index offers the world’s first decentralized meme coin index. Completely within the control of the community, the project lets the community decide how the tokens are added to the index. That’s where MEMEX, the native token of the ecosystem, shows its unique attributes.
Meme Index has been designed as a DAO project, letting the community govern the ecosystem. Holders of the MEMEX tokens can join this DAO and, along with voting on proposals about future updates, they also decide which tokens should be added to the index, and which tokens should be removed.
It makes the act of rebalancing the indexes driven by community sentiment, which is the primary force behind a meme coin’s price action. This could result in investors being able to capture opportunities that logic-based, automated systems, cannot provide.
Can MEMEX Explode?
Now comes the big question. Can MEMEX explode? The answer to it lies in the multiple growth drivers.
First aspect we have to look at is how the project is being marketed. Even though the texts on the Meme Index’s whitepaper show focus on utility, the imagery is still one of jokes. This is a positive, driving positive community sentiment that could make the token blow up in value.

Second crucial aspect is broader market dynamics, and the timing of the project’s launch. If the Meme Index concludes during a bull run, it could ride the bullish wave to pump in value. However, concluding the presale when the market has cooled down may not bring an explosive beginning for this token.
Furthermore, how the indexes perform will also play a crucial role. If they can outperform centralized meme coin indexes, we may see people gravitating towards MEMEX’s decentralized offerings. This influx can also bring positive news for the MEMEX price action.
Meme Index Raises $100K – Stage 1 Ending Soon
Meme Index has raised more than $100k to date and the current stage will conclude shortly. So, investors have a limited window to buy MEMEX at a highly discounted price of $0.014056. Therefore, those looking to maximize their gains should act now.
