Memecoins take top spot for crypto investor interest in 2024: CoinGecko

Memecoin interest in 2024 was largely directed toward Solana-based tokens, followed by those on Coinbase’s blockchain Base, according to a CoinGecko study.

Lim said a study of site traffic to CoinGecko’s token categories from Jan. 1 to Dec. 21 found that memecoins and related categories captured nearly 31% of investor interest.
