- Coindesk recently reported on the ‘Memecoin Supercycle,’ and while meme coins were viewed as spurious, almost ridiculous assets last cycle, they are king in this cycle. Solana meme coins have outperformed every sector in crypto in year-to-date returns, and investors cannot afford to ignore such an overbearing market signal.
- While Bitcoin’s 41% YTD performance is impressive, it is nothing compared to the rallies that meme coins are making this year. Solana’s leading meme coin, WIF, is already up 1,474% this year, and this is not an isolated case. Meme coins are crushing it, and trends accelerate as the cycle progresses. Memes will not lose mindshare; they will become even more dominant.
- Vantard is the first meme coin index: a project holding all of this cycle’s top memes and delivering all the juice of the ‘memecoin supercycle’ with none of the overhead. Vantard is choosing the winners, so you don’t have to.
Vantard: Crypto’s first meme coin index fund
Vantard is bringing the old money touch to the crypto’s newest generation of assets. It delivers all the gains but none of the leg work. The index will include notable blue chips such as WIF and POPCAT alongside more exotic plays such as LOCKIN, BILLY, RETARDIO, and AURA. Anyone holding the protocol’s VTARD token gets exposure to this basket and can relax, knowing that while meme coin mania rages on, Vantard has them covered.
ETF products have been a massive driver of this cycle, the most notable being BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). Instead of crypto’s largest asset, Vantard flips the script. It will be providing an analogous service but with the cream of the crop of meme coins. And the hands-off nature mixed with the outrageous upside potential latent in meme coins could see Vantard leading the ‘memecoin supercycle.’
Attention trades: Meme coins vs NFTs
Anyone who was around last cycle will remember the NFT mania that swept through crypto and dominated mindshare. This cycle, meme coins have replaced NFTs as the long-tail speculative element of the space. But they have one central advantage: they are liquid.
Investors can swap in and out of their positions at any time and volume spikes whenever the trading experience improves. Did you miss the NFT trade last cycle? Don’t miss the meme coin trade this cycle.
This will be a painful cycle for the meme coin skeptics. Smart traders and investors listen to the tape and do not fight trends. The market will humble anyone who goes against it, and meme coins are this cycle’s must-have accessory. Anyone who remembers DeFi summer already knows how crazy things can get, and with the great pendulum swing back to low rates already underway, the current landscape represents the initial innings.
Vantard eyes loosening global financial conditions
The Fed rate cuts reduce the risk-free rate available to savers, hedge funds, and capital allocators worldwide. Reduced rates mean this capital searches for yield and eventually trickles down to almost every market corner anyone can imagine. Billions of dollars are still held in money market funds that will enter equities markets, and as debt gets cheaper, more leverage will creep into the system.
Risk on assets always perform best in low interest rate environments, which naturally encourage speculation, and Vantard is launching with perfect timing. Set to open its seed round soon and start taking in public capital soon, this meme coin index is going to market with winds in its sails and its sights set on the horizon.
A low-touch, stress-free index providing the wild upside of meme coins is a capital allocator’s dream, and Vantard will be at the vanguard of the ‘memecoin supercycle.’ Vantard is ensuring you don’t get caught offside this time around.
