📢 Do Memecoins Really Increase Cryptocurrency Exchange Market Capitalization? 🔥

In a recent article I came across on "Virtual Capitalization of Crypto Exchanges," exchanges are assessed based on trading volume, number of users, web traffic, and native token value. But how accurate is this methodology if memecoins influence these metrics? 🤔

💡 Let’s take the hyped $TRUMP and $BROCCOLI coins. 📌 On February 13th, CZ (former CEO of Binance) revealed the name of his dog – "Broccoli," and within hours, hundreds of memecoins appeared on Solana and BNB Chain. One even hit a $1.5 billion market cap in a single day! 🚀

Now, the question: if an exchange gets billion-dollar volumes from such assets, does that really make it more valuable?

🔹 Volumes can be misleading. From what I’ve been looking into, Binance has $31 billion in daily trading volume, but how much comes from short-term speculative hype? Many memecoins have short lifespans, and their liquidity disappears fast.

🔹 Traffic and activity ≠ stable capitalization. Even though the "Trust & Value Index" considers user activity, memecoins can really skew the picture. I've seen traders flock to them because of FOMO, but they tend to leave just as fast. In my view, this doesn't guarantee stable, long-term growth for exchanges at all.

🔹 Exchange capitalization is based on trust, not hype. Transparency, security, and regulatory compliance build long-term value, not short-lived trading spikes from memecoins.

⚠️ I believe while memecoins can temporarily "inflate" trading metrics, they don’t make an exchange more reliable or stable long-term. What do you think? Should we reconsider the approach to evaluating exchanges? You can read full article here:   coincodex.com/article/58281/un...
