Continuing last week’s 🔥 discussion on #memecoins, our Partner Yuriy Brisov sheds light on the legal controversy surrounding #HalieyWelch and the #HAWK coin, as featured in #Cointelegraph: 💬 “Insider Trading traditionally involves trading securities based on material, non-public information, breaching a duty of trust or confidence.” What happened? Haliey Welch’s #HAWK memecoin launch faced allegations of #MarketManipulation and insider trading after the token plummeted 91% within hours. Pre-allocated tokens were reportedly sold for significant profits, drawing potential #SEC and #DOJ scrutiny. If HAWK is deemed a #security, charges could include #SecuritiesFraud or #WireFraud. Welch denies the claims, but the case highlights the growing #LegalRisks for viral #Crypto launches. 📖 👀 Read more on Cointelegraph; https://lnkd.in/d9Ab9WQK 🤔 What do you think? Will increased #RegulatoryScrutiny stifle innovation in memecoins, or could it help legitimise the #CryptoMarket?

Our Friday Reflection on the Hot Crypto Topic 🤭 📌When Memes Turn Into Money: The Rise of Memecoins After Trump's Victory What Happened? 🔸#Memecoins are experiencing a similar surge! For instance, #Dogecoin, the first meme cryptocurrency, skyrocketed by 140%, reaching a market capitalisation of $60 billion. What Are Memecoins? 🔸Memecoins are cryptocurrencies with no fundamental value, often created as jokes or to ride viral trends. Their success largely depends on their popularity among users and #viral promotion on social media. Why the Boom? 🔸The #memecoin market exploded after the 2024 elections. Investors and traders are rapidly buying these tokens, anticipating more crypto-friendly regulations, much like the recent rally in #Bitcoin. 🔸Some memecoins have become market sensations: 🤩 CHILLGUY, a token based on a cartoon dog meme, achieved a market capitalisation of $466 million in just two weeks. 🐸 PEPE, dedicated to the famous frog from internet comics, surpassed $8.2 billion, overtaking the market cap of the British supermarket chain #Sainsbury’s. Why Are Memecoins Growing? 🔹Their growth is primarily driven by viral popularity. Launching a memecoin is easy and doesn’t require advanced programming skills—token generators and a clever social media campaign are often enough. 🔹#ElonMusk’s open endorsement of memecoins has also been a major catalyst. Musk has repeatedly expressed support for 🙂 #Dogecoin, frequently mentioning it on his social media platforms. 🔹Beyond social media hype, Dogecoin even made its way into political discourse. In November, Donald Trump announced the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (#DOGE), tasked with cutting bureaucracy, restructuring agencies, and minimising "wasteful spending" in the federal budget. Sound familiar? 🔹And, as you might have guessed, who was named head of the new Department? None other than #ElonMusk! Should You Invest in #Memecoins? 1️⃣ “99% of memecoins are pump-and-dump schemes,” warns Ilan Solot, Head of #MarexSolutions. As noted by partner Yuriy Brisov, #pumpanddump refers to illegal market manipulation practices in which an asset’s price is artificially inflated, followed by a sharp sell-off at peak prices. This leaves late investors with steep losses when the price crashes. 2️⃣ According to a report by BDC Consulting, most memecoins already lack liquidity—89% of memecoins have a market capitalisation of less than $1,000. 🔹It’s crucial to remember that memecoins are a high-risk investment. Their growth is driven by hype and viral trends rather than intrinsic value. While investing in these tokens may seem exciting, it demands extreme caution. #Trump2024 #crypto # #blockchain #regulation
