A report by cryptocurrency exchange Bybit reveals a significant surge in institutional investments in meme coins in 2023.

加密货币交易所 Bybit 的一份报告显示，2023 年机构对 meme 币的投资大幅增长。这一趋势在机构投资数据中很明显，从年初的 6300 万美元攀升至 4 月份的约 3 亿美元，增长了近 4.5 倍。

Popular Meme Coins for Investments

流行的 Meme 投资币

Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) received the majority of institutional capital, primarily due to their high liquidity in the spot market. This liquidity enables large-scale buying and selling without significantly influencing market prices.

狗狗币（DOGE）和柴犬（SHIB）获得了大部分机构资本，这主要是由于它们在现货市场的高流动性。这种流动性可以在不显着影响市场价格的情况下实现大规模买卖。

BONK Emerges as a Strong Contender

May Reversal

五月逆转

However, this trend experienced a slight setback in May, with institutional holdings of meme coins nearly halving to $125 million, attributed to profit-taking by institutions.

然而，这一趋势在 5 月份遭遇了小幅挫折，由于机构获利了结，机构持有的 Meme 币几乎减半至 1.25 亿美元。

Strategic Portfolio Readjustments

战略投资组合调整

During this period, institutional orientations underwent a shift towards other cryptocurrencies. Stablecoin holdings declined, while investments in Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and meme coins increased, indicating a strategic readjustment of crypto portfolios.

在此期间，机构方向发生了向其他加密货币的转变。稳定币持有量下降，而比特币（BTC）、以太坊（ETH）和 meme 币的投资增加，表明加密货币投资组合的战略调整。

Dogecoin Dominance

狗狗币的主导地位

As of May 1, Dogecoin held the largest share of meme coin holdings among both individual and institutional investors. While institutional investors allocated 36% to DOGE, individual investors allocated 24.5%. This preference is likely due to DOGE's higher liquidity and perceived stability within the sector.

截至 5 月 1 日，狗狗币在个人和机构投资者中持有最大的 meme 币份额。机构投资者向 DOGE 分配了 36%，而个人投资者则分配了 24.5%。这种偏好可能是由于 DOGE 具有较高的流动性和该行业内的稳定性。
