Memecoins are not going away. Instead of pretending otherwise, professional investors need a framework to handle them. In this piece we walk through the key points a professional investor would consider before drawing conclusions.
Why they exist
Memecoins are the market's expression of pure sentiment. They have no cash flows, no product roadmap and no defensible moat — and none of that matters, because their only job is to represent a community and a mood. That is a legitimate use case, even if it is uncomfortable for traditional investors.
Sizing them honestly
The right way to hold memecoins is with a strict, tiny allocation, treated as an entertainment budget rather than an investment. If they work, they can contribute meaningfully. If they do not, they cannot damage the rest of the portfolio.
Rules of engagement
Never chase after a large move. Never average down. Take profits mechanically, not emotionally. Do not tell yourself a memecoin has 'fundamentals'; if it did, it would not be a memecoin. Discipline here is even more important than in the rest of the market.
The bigger picture
Memecoins are a stress test for your process. If your process breaks down when a memecoin doubles or halves, it is your process — not the memecoin — that needs work.
