The venture arm of the cryptocurrency exchange leader, Binance Labs, has invested in Memecoin (MEME), the native token of Memeland, fostering connections between creators and communities through MEME tokens and NFTs.
Following this investment, MEME witnessed a 9% surge, reaching $0.02702 on Jan. 4. Memeland, the 39th launchpool project, gained traction in 2023 as users engaged in staking crypto assets to earn MEME tokens.
The coin’s value soared by 2000%, attracting attention from major exchanges such as Binance, OKX, and HTX. However, MEME, like other altcoins, faced a downturn amid a 6.2% drop in Bitcoin’s value over the past 24 hours and market uncertainties related to the SEC’s potential delay in approving spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Memeland, functioning as an independent Web3 venture studio under 9GAG, envisions transforming into a fully decentralized, community-driven platform. It offers distinctive features like NFT staking and liquid staking of ETH to enhance its ecosystem.
MEME’s surge post-Binance Labs’ investment reflects growing interest, but market volatility, driven by Bitcoin and regulatory uncertainties, poses challenges for the altcoin’s stability and growth.
