Pseudonymous cryptocurrency trader Vapor highlighted the growing prominence of meme coins in the digital asset space, asserting that they have become a force that cannot be ignored.
What Happened: Vapor took to X (formerly Twitter) to point out several advantages of meme coins over other popular crypto investment options. They are:
- Simpler than on-chain Ponzi schemes.
- More sustainable than pool2 farms.
- More liquid than NFTs.
- Safer than DeFi due to the absence of smart contract risks.
Vapor also suggests that meme coins provide better odds of winning compared to real-life lotteries or sports betting. As a result, they are absorbing liquidity and mindshare from various other investment venues in the cryptocurrency space.

Why It Matters: The crypto trader foresees that by the top of the current market cycle, at least three meme coins will surpass a market capitalization of $100 billion each. This forecast highlights the potential for meme coins to reach unprecedented levels of growth and adoption.
Looking back to a February 2024 Benzinga Twitter poll, readers voted on which meme coins they aremost bullish on.
GME Coin topped the list, followed by Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB), Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) and Pepe (CRYPTO: PEPE) took the third and fourth spot.
