Most meme coins start as hype but only a few
survive long-term. Doge and SHIB stayed relevant by building
community-driven ecosystems beyond just price speculation.
Lately, we’re seeing experiments where meme coins go beyond just memes:
- Staking & DeFi (e.g., BONK, SHIB burns).
- Gaming & Rewards (e.g., in-game NFTs, meme-powered games).
- Governance & DAOs (e.g., community-driven funding).
What’s the next evolution of meme coins? Do people actually want utility-driven meme projects, or is hype still king?
I'm not really sure what you mean by utility driven. Doge has been here for years and there was not development as far as I know.
And if it has a utility then it won't fall on the category of a meme coin isn't it? I'm not sure what's the next evolution of meme coins, and if there will be one, it could still be base on hype and community driven. The more community it will have the more pump and dump scheme can happen on that meme coin.
