Investor Chris Burniske says the recent controversies surrounding memecoin launches have created an ideal opportunity for traditional financial (TradFi) firms to penetrate the crypto market.
The venture capitalist tells his 324,400 followers on the social media platform X that TradFi firms are about to launch crypto-focused products and tokens and show the industry how to effectively raise and preserve capital.
According to Burniske, memecoin launches are notoriously bad at capital preservation, which is the total opposite of how TradFi firms operate.
“Don’t despair that our worthless memecoins were bad at capital formation, the entire world of capital formation is coming to a blockchain near you…
And for what it’s worth, memecoins were remarkable at capital formation, it was the capital preservation that most lacked. Perfect moment for TradFi to onboard their ‘trusted assets’ onto blockchains and have these RWAs (real-worth assets) appear sexy and trustworthy. Not good or bad, just inevitable.”
RWA is a nascent crypto asset sector where firms or projects bring off-chain assets such as properties, commodities and bonds into the blockchain to be tokenized. Tokenization makes the trading of real-world assets more accessible and transparent.
While Burniske says that most memecoins don’t have lasting power, he thinks that a handful will have a bright future instead of going to zero.
“Though some memecoins will persist… In a select few, I’m a believer.”
At time of writing, the memecoin market cap stands at $52.819 billion, an over 26% decline from last month’s valuation of $71.487 billion, according to data from the crypto exchange Kraken.
