VanEck portfolio manager Pranav Kanade wrote on X that Meme Coin has four key aspects that are worth learning from crypto teams:
1. Simplicity: Many teams over-design their tokens without realizing that:
- Time + capital + attention = scarcity;
- About 600,000 tokens were issued last year;
- Competition for the above scarce resources has intensified due to the convenience of token issuance.
Instead, we should focus on:
- Simple token design;
- A clear vision;
- Show how the execution of the vision creates wealth for token holders;
2. High circulation, low FDV (low entry valuation);
3. Founder/team alignment: We can only get rich if we achieve our goals/deliver products as promised;
4. High transparency (for example, disclose the cost basis of venture capitalists, which is often difficult to find).
