“Considering meme tokens as a reliable tool for a long-term portfolio makes no sense,” — this is how analysts comment on the market risks of the joke cryptocurrency segment, which currently accounts for just 1.25% of the total crypto market capitalization. Moreover, experts believe that the lack of specialized ETFs for broad diversification and extreme volatility make such assets an exclusively short-term speculative game.

As market researchers stated — “This can be tracked by the deceiving math of meme coins: for instance, the sector leader Dogecoin skyrocketed by a head-spinning 19,000% since its launch in 2013, yet collapsed by 89% from its all-time high.” But they further clarified that this does not mean a complete lack of interest in other major projects, as tokens like Shiba Inu, Pepe, and MemeCore still firmly hold positions within the top 100 cryptocurrencies; however, real profits here are made only by those investors who enter the asset at the very earliest stages.
