MemeCore (M) surged by 19% on February 17, reaching a high of $1.59 before settling at $1.45, marking a 3.5% decline over the past 24 hours. Despite the price increase, experts have raised concerns about the token's valuation, which stands at $2.5 billion with a fully diluted valuation of $7.7 billion. Analysts argue that MemeCore's valuation is not supported by its economic fundamentals, as it generated only $10 in transaction fees compared to competitors like Pump.Fun, which earned $8.6 million in revenue. Critics, including Danny Nelson from Bitwise and Brian Huang from Glider, highlight the risks associated with meme tokens, citing low liquidity and potential for price manipulation. They warn that retail investors often mistake meme tokens for viable investments, despite the sector's $35.9 billion market cap. Huang emphasizes the need for the industry to focus on products that genuinely enhance user wealth, rather than speculative assets.
