They are not meme coins already if they have different utility rather than a meme. These projects are just using the hype of the meme coins category even though it’s known for being useless because they knew that there’s a lot of meme coins investment investors that can be easily attracted to ape on their project by showcasing something knew utility as meme coins.
In reality, they are just a regular crypto projects sugar coating as meme coin. Remove their categpry as meme coin and I’m sure their little utility will be overlooked.
They are not transitioning rather just a simple project category that wants to be classified as meme coins.

Ultimately, it’s more about how they position themselves in a competitive market rather than truly evolving into something fully useful or innovative.
