Meme coins?

Screening Filters

1. Market Cap: 10M – 50B

   • Purpose: Focus on smaller to mid-sized projects rather than the largest, very established coins.
   • Rationale:
     • Meme coins are typically not mega‑cap, blue-chip assets like Bitcoin or Ethereum.
     • A minimum of 10M market cap filters out the absolute tiniest, illiquid micro‑caps that are often dead or purely scammy.
     • A maximum of 50B keeps us in a range where speculative, community‑driven coins commonly sit, which is where most meme coins tend to be if they’ve gained any traction.

2. 24h Turnover (Trading Volume): ≥ 10M

   • Purpose: Ensure coins are actively traded and have real market interest.
   • Rationale:
     • Meme coins usually rely on hype and speculative trading; that shows up as high daily trading volume.
     • A minimum of 10M in 24h turnover helps filter out “dead” or illiquid tokens that no one is currently trading, even if they call themselves meme coins.
     • This makes the list more practical—these are coins you can realistically enter and exit.

3. 24h Volatility: ≥ 5

   • Purpose: Target highly volatile coins.
   • Rationale:
     • Meme coins are known for large price swings—both up and down—driven by social media, sentiment, and speculation rather than fundamentals.
     • A minimum volatility threshold of 5 (e.g., ~5%+ daily move) is a way to systematically capture that “meme-like” price behavior.
     • This excludes very stable, low-volatility assets that clearly don’t fit the meme-coin profile.

4. Is Trending: True

   • Purpose: Capture coins currently attracting attention and discussion.
   • Rationale:
     • The essence of a meme coin is being socially and virally driven—they surge when they’re trending on platforms, news feeds, or within communities.
     • Requiring that the asset is “trending” aligns the screen with what most people mean by “meme coin” right now: not just its theme, but active hype and buzz.
     • This helps surface the coins that are currently in the meme spotlight, rather than old meme coins that are no longer relevant.

Why Results Match:

• Meme coins tend to be small-to-mid cap, hype-driven, high‑volume, and highly volatile; the filters explicitly target those characteristics.
• The trending condition ensures you see meme-style coins that are currently popular and being actively talked about and traded, not just any coin with a silly name.
