Although meme tokens showed impressive performance in 2024, the start of this year marked a downturn in the meme coin market. The third-largest meme token, Pepe (PEPE), soared to its ATH of $0.00002825 on December 9th, a price that dropped by 75.17% since following a month-long downturn that saw leading meme tokens dip by 22-38%.
However, while established meme tokens struggle to make significant gains, investors are showing increasing interest in projects yet to realize their full potential. Meme Index (MEMEX), a project inspired by the iconic Pepe meme imagery, has now crossed $4 million raised for its upcoming decentralized investment platform that’s turning heads.
Meme Index aims to help investors enter the meme coin market by diversifying their risks via pooled investments into the market’s tokens of different volatility levels. With just 17 days left until the presale wraps up, it’s no wonder the project is gaining traction as investors rush to secure their spot on its upcoming platform.
Investors Don’t Have Long to Purchase MEMEX on the Ground Floor
The Meme Index presale, which kicked off in early December 2024, is set to end on March 31st, leaving investors with limited time to purchase MEMEX at a low price. Currently, the token sells for $0.0166883 each, and investors can purchase it using ETH, BNB, USDT, or a traditional bank card.
Purchasing the token using ETH also allows investors to stake it during the presale, which currently offers a massive 569% staking APY, allowing early backers to more than 5x their token holdings long-term.
As more MEMEX tokens are staked by investors, the yield will decrease, however, making this the best time for investors to lock their tokens into the staking pool. Over 175 million tokens have already been staked despite the 3-year vesting period, which shows investors are confident in its potential to soar post-launch.

While 40% of the total token supply is set aside for the presale and staking rewards, the team behind MEMEX allocated another 20% for community rewards, which they will use to reward early backers and incentivize community engagement, with further details yet to be announced.
Expert Impressed by MEMEX’s Unique Approach to the Meme Coin Market as He Expects It to Soar by 50X
Once the presale wraps up, Meme Index will release its decentralized investment platform which will be accessible to those holding MEMEX. The platform’s users will have the option to make pooled investments into meme tokens spanning four “baskets,” each with its unique benefits and downsides.
For example, the Meme Titan Index will feature low-volatility leading meme tokens such as Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB), while the Meme Frenzy Index houses high-risk high-reward emerging tokens. For everything in between, investors will be able to choose between the Meme Moonshot Index and the Meme Midcap Index.
Each MEMEX holder will also have governance rights which will allow them to vote on which tokens they wish to see removed from each basket as well as new additions.
Meme coin expert Borch Crypto believes Meme Index can outperform established tokens once it launches, highlighting its original concept and utility as something that can set it apart from the competition in the market that’s oversaturated with trend-driven tokens that offer no real use cases.
Borch Crypto advises his audience to start accumulating the token before it launches, as he expects it to surge by 10x once it launches, with a potential to soar even further alongside the broader meme coin market.
Meme Index Boasts a Large Community and Emphasizes Investor Security
Although Meme Index acts as a key to the world’s first decentralized meme coin pooled investment platform, it’s a meme coin at its core, meaning its future success largely depends on the strength and trust of its community.
The project had its smart contract audited by two security firms, SolidProof and Coinsult, which found no critical issues in its code, confirming investor funds are safe with MEMEX.
With 20% of its total token supply fueling its marketing campaigns, Meme Index also gathered an impressive audience over the past months, with 23,700 supporters on X (Twitter) and another 5,500 on Telegram.

The project also secured an early partnership with Best Wallet, which features its presale in the “Upcoming Tokens” section of its apps, making it easily available to its 250,000+ monthly users.
Previously, Best Wallet featured Pepe Unchained (PEPU) and CatSlap (SLAP), which soared by 700% and 5,500% in the first 48 hours of their launch, respectively. If MEMEX manages to maintain its momentum post-launch, it could match or even surpass the success of PEPU and SLAP.
As MEMEX’s presale approaches its end, investors are left with limited time to purchase the token below its listing price of $0.0170247.
