- Murad believes select memecoins with strong communities can succeed long-term.
- Community analysis is key to identifying memecoins with “diamond hands” holders.
In a recent interview on the Wu Blockchain Youtube channel, the host and notable crypto journalist Collin Wu spoke with Murad Mahmudov, a well-known personality in the crypto industry, about the future of memecoins.
Murad offered a viewpoint that questions the conventional wisdom about memecoins as only temporary trading tools and proposes instead that some premium memecoins could be good long-term investments. Murad’s ideology revolves around this idea of long-term “hodling.”
Murad Highlights Community Strength as Key to Long-Term Memecoin Success
Murad notes most memecoins’ volatility and speculative character, which he characterizes as “pump-and-dump” assets. But he thinks a few strong, committed communities could last several market cycles.
Drawing comparisons with Dogecoin, Murad says a small number of memecoins might withstand the test of time, achieving new highs and steadying at higher lows, maybe blossoming far into the late 2020s.
He counsels investors on choosing currencies with devoted communities carefully and on thinking about distributing earnings either late 2025 or early 2026. Murad speculates there might be chances for long-term development by spotting those memecoins with “diamond-handed” supporters who hold through market volatility.
Murad stresses the need for evaluating the community if one is to find these long-lasting memecoins. Good memecoins, he contends, depend more on social elements than on technological principles. Investors should investigate the community dynamics, assessing participant dedication and whether they are likely to maintain their assets long-term.
Murad argues that select communities show the dedication required to drive a meme tokens’ value into the billions using on-chain data to assess “diamond hands” long-term holding habits. Memecoins are positioned as community-driven assets rather than only speculative plays using this strategy.
Emphasizing Economic Factors and Transparency in Crypto Investment
Murad voiced uncertainty on the possible effects of the U.S. election on memecoins, claiming that more important drivers are more general economic variables such as inflation and world monetary policies.
Although good government leadership could help, he minimizes the influence of certain political events on the memecoin sector. Rather, he points to more general economic trends that have inspired people to explore crypto since they seem to be more powerful drivers of memecoin interest.
Murad also made clear his open stand toward wallet transparency. People can tell he is dedicated to keeping and only intends to sell a part in late 2025 since his wallet is public. Murad says this openness fits his public remarks and supports his dedication to long-term holding policies, therefore strengthening his credibility among his enthusiasts.
Murad pointed out the significance of market makers in the memecoin sector, especially for acquiring Tier 1 exchange listings. Although he admitted some market makers engage in dubious behavior, memecoin recommended those looking for longevity to collaborate with honest, open partners.
Clean relationships with reliable market makers are absolutely vital for memecoin trying to create credibility and stability.
Centralized Exchanges and Multi-Chain Access Key for Token Growth
Regarding exchange listings, Murad underlined the continuous importance of centralized exchanges, especially for meme tokens.
He noted that millions of consumers still depend on centralized platforms for accessibility and liquidity, even if decentralized exchanges are becoming more and more popular. Although he expects reliance on centralized exchanges to drop over time, memecoin visibility and trading volume in the near future depend on them.
Talking about which blockchain system memecoin would be most suitable for, Murad pointed out Solana’s popularity for speed and reduced cost that appeal to the younger social media generation.
With cross-chain solutions like Wormhole, he sees a future when the most successful memecoins are easily available on several chains. Solana now rules, but Murad envisions Ethereum playing a major role as well. This suggests that a multi-chain approach will enable memecoins to reach a variety of markets and expand.
Murad also discussed developing Memecoin markets and the growing interest Asian groups—especially in China, Korea, and Japan—showered.
Although memecoins are more popular in the West right now, he expects a change by early 2025, including greater Asian participation in the space. The growing global interest in memecoins could help to increase their appeal and resilience even further.
Regarding memecoins with an artificial intelligence concept, Murad voiced wary hope. Although conventional artificial intelligence tokens supported by venture money have become somewhat popular, Murad advises that memecoins with an AI theme require more time to develop.
Though he is still wary and wants to see more development and community growth before making any long-term investments, he sees the possibility for them to carve out their own niche inside the memecoin ecosystem.
Murad considered, in his last words, memecoins’ accessibility relative to tokens financed by venture capital. He pointed out that while memecoins provide a more reasonable starting point, high values of venture-backed coins may leave limited space for significant gains for ordinary investors.
This accessibility, he says, is what attracts memecoins to regular investors looking for alternatives to conventional venture-backed assets.
