VanEck’s MarketVector Launches Meme Coin Index, Led by Dogecoin and Shiba Inu

MarketVector, a subsidiary of VanEck, has introduced the Meme Coin Index (MEMECOIN). This index tracks the performance of six major meme coins, including Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Pepe, dogwifhat, Floki Inu, and BONK. According to an X post by Wu Blockchain, this index has returned an impressive 137.96% year-to-date, making it the best-performing index on MarketVector.

The MEMECOIN index is a market capitalization-weighted index, with weights restricted at 30% for each coin. This method aims to diversify risks within the index. Dogecoin and Shiba Inu are dominating the index, with weightings of 30.64% and 28.01%, respectively. Coins like BONK (6.21%), Pepe (14.18%), dogwifhat (13.29%), and Floki Inu (7.17%) are also included in the index.

VanEck has released a disclaimer, highlighting that meme coins are meant for fun reasons, notwithstanding the index’s success. This draws attention to how speculative and unstable these assets are and advises investors to do their research.
