1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Meme Coins with Real Utility – What’s Next After Doge & SHIB? on: March 26, 2025, 05:13:35 AM

Memecoins with utility is an oxymoron.

A memecoin is a coin that totally 100% lacks any utility.

A utility coin is a coin — well, with utility.

It's only one or the other — you can't have both.

I disagree. Some memecoins do have utility.

  • DOGE (Dogecoin) – Started as a meme but is now accepted as payment by Tesla, AMC, and many online merchants.
  • SHIB (Shiba Inu) – Built an entire ecosystem with ShibaSwap (DEX), Shibarium (Layer 2 blockchain), and staking rewards.
  • FLOKI (Floki Inu) – Offers FlokiFi (DeFi tools), Valhalla (P2E metaverse game), and Floki University (crypto education).
  • PEPE – While mostly speculative, it’s gaining traction with DeFi integrations and staking mechanisms.

Memecoins may start as jokes, but some actually develop real-world use cases over time. It’s mostly the hype but not always!

Most meme coins start as hype but only a few survive long-term. Doge and SHIB stayed relevant by building community-driven ecosystems beyond just price speculation.

Lately, we’re seeing experiments where meme coins go beyond just memes:

  • Staking & DeFi (e.g., BONK, SHIB burns).
  • Gaming & Rewards (e.g., in-game NFTs, meme-powered games).
  • Governance & DAOs (e.g., community-driven funding).

What’s the next evolution of meme coins? Do people actually want utility-driven meme projects, or is hype still king?
