What is a meme coin?

Last reviewed:

A meme coin is a token built around a joke, an internet meme or a trend, usually with no product or plan behind it. Its price is driven almost entirely by attention and hype. Meme coins can be created in minutes, and many collapse quickly. Some are run by insiders who sell early, leaving later buyers with losses.
