Members of the Crypto community have expressed conflicting views of Memecoin Surge, celebrating the market’s rise, and others have called it a regression.
The Memecoin sector surged to $72 billion in July, up 29% from its market capitalization of $55 billion on June 30th. Behind the rally was the Memecoin Presale hype, community momentum and the new Memecoin Launchpad lost in Solana.
On Friday, Memecoin’s market capitalization surged further, peaking at $79 billion. This represents a 43% spike from the rating at the end of June. At the time of writing, Memecoin’s market capitalization fell slightly to $788.1 billion.
Retail investors are keen to ride the waves, and while numbers are eye-catching, industry leaders are divided into what the revival of Memocoin, a broader crypto ecosystem, means.
Executives say Memecoins will destroy Crypto’s reputation
For builders like Anthony Anzalone, founder and CEO of Layer-1 blockchain network Xion, Memecoin Mania is not a celebration, but a symptom of deeper problems with cryptography.
Anzalone told Cointelegraph that Memecoins “doesn’t do an incredible job of destroying the reputational work that has led to legalization in the industry.”
He said the surge in market capitalization is not correlated with the crypto use cases of ordinary people that are realising.
Anzalone believes there is an inverse correlation between industry success and the market capitalization of the Memecoin sector.
“If anything, I see an inverse correlation between the success of the industry and the market capitalization of Memocoin, because capital is read as good anywhere, even though it flows,” Anzalon told Cointelegraph.
MemeCoins, “Most Attractive” Segment
Meanwhile, S, the pseudonym community lead for Neiro Memecoin, insisted on the memokine, saying the sector remains the most attractive part of the crypto space.
S told the Cointelegraph that the Memecoin project shows signs of maturity throughout the space. S points to projects like Pudgy Penguins, Floki and Neiro, saying they are “building new technology.”
He also told the Cointelegraph: “Undoubtedly, Memecoins are a very crypto-born category, so as soon as there are signs of positivity in the market, Trench warriors and Memecoin Aficionados are in a hurry to deploy their capital.”
S described the memokine as “hot, marketable and easy to understand.” Memecoin supporters said the asset class is an antithesis of the “complex VC-driven talknomics project” that controls crypto.

Memocoin’s mood “undetectedly” reversed and strong
Petr Kozyakov, co-founder and CEO of Mercuryo, told Cointelegraph that Chinto is an important driver for Crypto Markets.
He said the surge could be attributed to the recent initial pump coin offering that sold $500 million, reaching new all-time highs in retail markets and accessibility for members to Bitcoin (BTC).
He said that despite people’s opinions about Memecoin, the asset class is ingrained in crypto culture.
“Whatever your view on these tokens, they have managed to acquire an army of loyal followers who valued themselves in their journey,” Kojjakov told Cointelgraf.
Kozyakov refrained from predicting Memecoin’s market capitalization, but he said the mood surrounding Memecoin has been “undetectedly turned over on the bullish side.”
