Meme Economy

Definition

The Meme Economy refers to the financial activity and value generation associated with internet memes and meme-inspired digital assets. This economic segment is characterized by speculative trading in meme coins, which are cryptocurrencies often created as jokes or social experiments with little intrinsic utility but gain value through community hype and social media attention. It also includes the creation and sale of meme-themed non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The value within this economy is largely driven by cultural relevance, community engagement, and viral distribution.
