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.

当狗狗币 (DOGE) 于 2013 年出现时，很少有人想到它会成为一种新资产类别（称为模因币）的灵感来源。从狗狗币到柴犬 (SHIB)、Floki、PEPE 和无数其他资产，迈克·诺沃格拉茨 (Mike Novogratz) 相信这些资产已成为经济不可或缺的一部分，并将继续存在。

Growing Relevance of Meme Coins

Meme 币的相关性日益增强

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.

诺沃格拉茨最近对模因币的评论反映了它们在加密生态系统中不断变化的地位。作为 Galaxy Digital 的创始人兼首席执行官，他指出这些资产已成为加密经济的基石。

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.

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)，这是一种基于 Solana 的模因币，市值超过 30 亿美元。 Galaxy Digital 估计模因币市场接近 600 亿美元，其中狗狗币、柴犬币和 PEPE 处于领先地位。

Ongoing Transformation

持续转型

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

Meme 币不再仅仅被视为有趣的代币。它们正在经历向具有独特效用的硬币的关键转变。

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

柴犬就是这种转变的例证。它引入了许多功能，包括支付功能、域名服务和第 2 层扩展解决方案 (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 也在快速发展，去年 TokenFi 的推出使其占领了代币化市场的很大一部分。模因币的建立使得跨生态系统的崩溃不太可能发生。
