Financial Technology Law: Meme coins

Introduction

A meme coin is a cryptocurrency, built on a blockchain, that is more about a fun image and attracting investors rather than being used for anything. Due to low regulations in the crypto market, meme coins are susceptible to manipulation and fraudulent activities such as pump-and-dump schemes.

They have:

  • High risk and volatility

  • Often over-hyped by developers 

  • No uses other than being a token
