Franklin Templeton's Digital Assets arm, FTI_DA, releases a paper stating that memecoins like $BONK have a strong relationship with their native networks, particularly Solana. The firm notes that memecoins lack intrinsic value or utility but could offer opportunities for rapid gains. Despite this, memecoins display a strong correlation with the growth of user wallets on underlying blockchains, according to FTI_DA. The rise in memecoin trading activity coincides with an increase in active addresses on various blockchain networks, as reported by Franklin Templeton's Digital Assets team.



Memecoins 1) are incredibly stupid 2) distract attention and capital from actual innovation in the space 3) further stigmatize the space 4) give anti-crypto legislators more ammo to clamp down on the space in the name of investor protection. But gamble away degens.
