Memecoins Surge Alongside Bitcoin Rally

Memecoins have made a comeback as bitcoin trades near all-time highs in 2024. Coins like Dogwifhat and Baby Doge Coin rocketed to record levels last month during bitcoin’s explosive rise in Q1.

Hedge Funds Chasing Memecoin Returns

The memecoin gains have been so large that even hedge funds are getting involved. California hedge fund Stratos debuted a fund holding Dogwifhat that returned 137% in Q1, per Bloomberg. Sources say big manager Brevan Howard has made a small memecoin investment.

Memecoins Morphing Beyond Jokes

Crypto fund Pantera Capital says memecoins are here to stay, amid opportunities for stunning returns. They argue many memecoins have transformed into real communities beyond just jokes. They trade on DeFi and mainstream exchanges.

Memecoins Compared to Meme Stocks

Some compare the memecoin craze to the meme stock mania in equity markets. They represent retail frenzy looking for huge gains on hyped assets. But Pantera says memecoins have matured into more.

Conclusion

Memecoins have exploded higher again, producing returns so large that even hedge funds are allocating capital. Their gains come amidst the surge in bitcoin, as some argue memecoins have matured beyond jokes.
