A Bitwise executive says the firm is weighing a spot ETF for $DOG, the Dogecoin-linked memecoin on Bitcoin's Runes protocol, after a coordinated campaign by the coin's community pitched the idea directly to the asset manager. Crypto traders are debating whether such a product could win regulatory approval and what it would mean for memecoin legitimacy.

The $ZCAT memecoin on the Solana blockchain is being highlighted for delivering large returns while maintaining a base of loyal holders.

Robinhood Chain has recorded a $440 million surge in memecoin activity, driven by trading around its tokenized stock products.

Observers are debating whether the activity signals genuine demand for on-chain stock tokens or is mainly memecoin speculation riding on the Robinhood brand.
