The first-ever meme coin index, Meme Index ($MEMEX), concluded its presale on Monday after raising over $4.5 million.
With fundraising complete, the project now sets its sights on listing and token claims, officially announcing April 2 at 2 p.m. UTC is the date for both.
Now, the big question on everyone’s mind – presale buyers and market watchers alike – is just how far $MEMEX can go. Could it deliver the kind of massive returns that turn early investors into legends?
What sets $MEMEX apart is that it introduces a new way to gain exposure to meme coins while managing risk.
With four distinct indexes and carefully selected holdings – ten of which were revealed on Monday – it offers diversified exposure to the meme coin market.
But its true potential lies in its broader utility. As a token designed to represent the entire meme coin space, $MEMEX isn’t just another player – it’s the benchmark.
And that means its upside could be as high as the meme market itself.
Meme Index recap
During its presale from December 2024 to March 2025, the Meme Index built a reputation as the next evolution in meme coin investing.
Meme coins dominated the crypto market for most of 2024, but momentum started slipping around mid-December and has continued to decline into 2025.
With the sector weighed down by economic uncertainty and a string of high-profile rug pulls, investor confidence has taken a hit.
Adding to the challenge, the market has been flooded with meme coins – thanks in large part to launchpads like Pump.fun.
Even though the pace of new launches has slowed, the sheer volume of tokens makes finding the next 100x opportunity feel like a shot in the dark.
That’s precisely why the Meme Index struck a chord with early adopters.
By introducing indexes, it offers a smarter way to navigate the space – one that reduces exposure to low-liquidity small caps, cuts down on transaction costs (especially for multi-chain investors), and smooths out volatility by spreading risk across multiple assets.
Instead of rolling the dice on individual tokens, investors now have a structured way to capture the upside of the meme coin market without the same level of downside risk.
The top meme coins in the Meme Index revealed how the $MEMEX token is positioned for growth
Meme Index introduces structure to meme coin investing and gives investors the flexibility to choose their level of risk.
Its four indexes, ranked from least to most volatile, are designed with varying volatility levels: Meme Titan Index, Moonshot Index, Midcap Index, and Meme Frenzy Index.
On Monday, Meme Index revealed the first batch of tokens that will be included across these baskets:
Dogecoin (DOGE)
Shiba Inu (SHIB)
Pepe (PEPE)
OFFICIAL TRUMP (TRUMP)
Bonk (BONK)
FLOKI (FLOKI)
SPX6900 (SPX)
Fartcoin (FARTCOIN)
dogwifhat (WIF)
Pudgy Penguins (PENGU)
These tokens will be distributed among the four indexes based on their market cap and volatility profile, with more assets set to be added over time.
The goal is to create a diversified selection that aligns with different investor risk appetites, which ensures that investors can gain exposure to the meme coin sector without betting everything on a single token.
$MEMEX is the gateway to these indexes, providing investors with a structured and balanced approach to meme coin investing.
With the benefits of index investing – risk mitigation, liquidity, and lower transaction costs – $MEMEX is positioning itself as a standout player in the meme coin sector.
If the meme coin sector rebounds to its former peak of $137 billion (or surpasses it), $MEMEX will grow alongside it.
What’s next for the $MEMEX token?
The $MEMEX token will be available for claiming and trading on Wednesday at 2 p.m. UTC.
This marks the next phase for Meme Index, leading to the launch of its indexes, where the full utility of $MEMEX comes into play.
