Industry Voices: Leaders Weigh In on the Future of Memecoins

Panel - "Building the Memecoin Ecosystem: Creating A Sustainable Future"

Alvin Kan, COO, Bitget Wallet

"I see meme coins this cycle as similar to what NFTs were in the last one. Every cycle has an asset class that becomes the entry point for newcomers, and for 2025, that’s clearly meme coins. They’re approachable, fun, and accessible, but the challenge now is moving beyond the hype to lasting value."

"Our goal at Bitget Wallet is to make meme coin trading seamless and intuitive for both seasoned traders and newcomers. With features like one-click buying, real-time slippage adjustments, and gasless transactions, we’re making it easy for TikTok and Instagram users who just saw their first meme coin video to jump into the ecosystem."

Gleb Kostarev, CEO, Blum

"What separates meme coins from NFTs is liquidity. Meme coins have pools and trading mechanisms that make them easier to buy and sell. This simplicity is what attracts traders and keeps the ecosystem active."

"AI is going to be a game-changer for meme coins. By integrating AI-driven insights and tools, creators can track sentiment, predict trends, and create personalized experiences for their communities, turning static tokens into dynamic ecosystems."

Kenny Li, Co-founder, Manta Network

"I’ve got over 500 meme coins in my wallet, and most of them had a lifecycle of one or two days. That adrenaline rush is addictive for traders, but for meme coins to last, they need more than speculation—they need a way to tie into real utility or community value."

"Solana or Base chains have the volume and user base to create meme coin cultures that smaller ecosystems can’t easily replicate. Therefore, other smaller chains are innovating with new ways to compete."

Alena Shmalko, Ecosystem Lead, TON Foundation

"We’re seeing meme coins evolve into tools for social engagement and gaming, especially within TON’s ecosystem. Mini apps on Telegram are turning meme coins into tokens with real utility, bridging the gap between fun and function."

"Education is key. Meme coins bring millions of newcomers into crypto, but without clear guidance, they might lose trust early. We need to focus on creating fair, transparent systems that align with users’ expectations."

Panel - "The Rise of MemeCoins: From Fun to Market Titans"

Gracy Chen, CEO, Bitget

"Meme coins are like the Hermes bag of crypto—what you’re buying isn’t just the material but the story, the community, and the sense of belonging. They teach us that in crypto, value can be as much about connection and creativity as it is about numbers on a chart."

"Meme coins thrive on humor, but it’s like a spark—it can ignite excitement, but without a solid foundation of utility or a dedicated team, that spark fades quickly. The real challenge is building something fun yet sustainable, where the humor fuels, not overshadows, the value."

Ray Chan, Founder, Memeland

"Crypto is just digital content, and meme coins are its comedies. Everyone loves fun over serious content—TikTok over LinkedIn, comedy movies over documentaries. As crypto goes mainstream, the proportion of meme coins will only grow because they’re the easiest for people to connect with."

"Launching a meme coin is easy; the hard part is making it last. It’s like trying to go viral on TikTok—millions try, but few succeed. The key isn’t just vibes; it’s building something that even after the hype fades, people still want to be part of."
