Memecoin Chaos: TradFi’s Perfect Time to Shine (and Fail?)

by

So, Chris Burniske—yeah, that guy with 324,400 followers on X—thinks the memecoin dumpster fire is the *perfect* moment for TradFi to waltz in and save the day. 🙄 Because, you know, Wall Street has *never* messed anything up before.

According to Chris, TradFi firms are about to launch crypto products and show us all how to “effectively raise and preserve capital.” Oh, please. Like we need a bunch of suits to teach us how to lose money *professionally*.

He says memecoins are terrible at capital preservation. No kidding! Who would’ve thought a coin named after a dog or a frog wouldn’t be a sound investment? 🤯

“Don’t despair that our worthless memecoins were bad at capital formation, the entire world of capital formation is coming to a blockchain near you…” Oh, joy. Can’t wait for blockchain-backed bonds and tokenized real estate. Riveting stuff. 🥱

“And for what it’s worth, memecoins were remarkable at capital formation, it was the capital preservation that most lacked. Perfect moment for TradFi to onboard their ‘trusted assets’ onto blockchains and have these RWAs (real-worth assets) appear sexy and trustworthy. Not good or bad, just inevitable.” Sexy and trustworthy? TradFi? Sure, Chris. Sure.

RWA, or “real-worth assets,” is apparently the next big thing. It’s where off-chain assets like properties and bonds get tokenized. Because nothing screams “innovation” like putting your grandma’s house on the blockchain. 🏠

Burniske admits that most memecoins are doomed, but he’s still holding out hope for a few. “Though some memecoins will persist… In a select few, I’m a believer.” Yeah, Chris, we all have our guilty pleasures. Mine’s ice cream. Yours is Dogecoin. 🍦

Meanwhile, the memecoin market cap has tanked 26% in a month, now sitting at a cool $52.819 billion. But hey, at least it’s not zero. Yet.
