These meme coins, often speculative assets inspired by the project’s branding, have seen heightened activity amid WLFI’s preparations for token transferability and trading debut on September 1. The platform, built on Ethereum, has raised over $550 million in token sales since October 2024, positioning it as a key player in bridging traditional finance and DeFi.
