When Dogecoin (DOGE) emerged in 2013, few envisioned it as the inspiration for a new asset class known as meme coins. From Dogecoin to Shiba Inu (SHIB), Floki, PEPE, and countless others, Mike Novogratz believes these assets have become an integral part of the economy and are here to stay.

當狗狗幣 (DOGE) 在 2013 年出現時，很少有人想到它會成為一種新資產類別（稱為模因幣）的靈感來源。從狗狗幣到柴犬 (SHIB)、Floki、PEPE 和無數其他資產， Mike Novogratz 相信這些資產已成為經濟不可或缺的一部分，並將繼續存在。

Growing Relevance of Meme Coins

Meme 幣的相關性日益增強

Novogratz's recent commentary on meme coins reflects their evolving status in the crypto ecosystem. As the founder and CEO of Galaxy Digital, he notes that these assets have become a cornerstone of the crypto economy.

諾沃格拉茨最近對迷因幣的評論反映了它們在加密生態系統中不斷變化的地位。身為 Galaxy Digital 的創始人兼首席執行官，他指出這些資產已成為加密經濟的基石。

He highlights the financial success experienced by investors, including his son-in-law, through meme coin investments. According to Novogratz, investing in meme coins requires assessing an object's potential to evoke humor.

他強調了投資者（包括他的女婿）透過模因幣投資所經歷的財務成功。諾沃格拉茨表示，投資迷因幣需要評估一個物體喚起幽默的潛力。

Novogratz points to dogwifhat (WIF), a Solana-based meme coin with a market capitalization exceeding $3 billion. Galaxy Digital estimates the meme coin market to be close to $60 billion, with Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and PEPE leading the pack.

Novogratz 提到了 Dogwifhat (WIF)，這是一種基於 Solana 的迷因幣，市值超過 30 億美元。 Galaxy Digital 估計模因幣市場接近 600 億美元，其中狗狗幣、柴犬幣和 PEPE 處於領先地位。

Ongoing Transformation

持續轉型

Meme coins are no longer merely regarded as fun tokens. They are undergoing a pivotal transformation towards coins with unique utilities.

Meme 幣不再只是被視為有趣的代幣。它們正在經歷向具有獨特效用的硬幣的關鍵轉變。

Shiba Inu exemplifies this shift. It has introduced numerous features, including payment capabilities, a Domain Name Service, and a Layer-2 scaling solution (Shibarium).

柴犬就是這種轉變的例證。它引入了許多功能，包括支付功能、網域服務和第 2 層擴充解決方案 (Shibarium)。

Floki is also rapidly evolving, with the launch of TokenFi last year positioning it to capture a significant portion of the tokenization market. The establishment of meme coins has rendered a cross-ecosystem collapse unlikely.

Floki 也在快速發展，去年 TokenFi 的推出使其佔領了代幣化市場的很大一部分。模因幣的建立使得跨生態系統的崩潰不太可能發生。
