May has been full of pre-on-chain-summer excitement both at Cryptorsy and in broader web3.
ETH ETFs approval by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) bodes well for the whole altcoin market from Ethereum to Solana, from DeFi to MemeFi titles.
Cryptorsy hosted two laid-back X Spaces dedicated to MEMECON and the projects going to this first-of-its-kind crypto conference dedicated exclusively to memecoins, the culture around them, and the various communities tokenizing their causes with the help of blockchain technology.
MEMECON was underway May 28-30 in Lisbon, Portugal.
This was how we celebrated the lead-up to this groundbreaking 3-day-long occasion in the sunny Portuguese capital.

MEMECON Lounge #1: Talking the Event, Memecoin Summer & Gems Coming
Gems On Board
Held on May 17, this was Cryptorsy’s inaugural MEMECON Lounge #1, where we rocked with a potent roster of dogs x cats x birds x bulls, and even some wood, hehe.
The 2024 memecoin summer is heating up to be a truly multi-chain phenomenon, evident in the projects from multiple blockchains such as Base, Arbitrum, Solana, TON, and Beam having jumped on this Space.
The total market capitalization of the memecoins present exceeded $300,000,000 at the time of hosting.
Feel the power of the meme, Rockstars.
The memeable faces included both sizable market caps and smaller gems in a bustling get-together of fun communities.

Julien Padres, AKA MetaFroggy, one of the masterminds behind MEMECON was one of the key guests from the conference side alongside Cryptorsy CEO and founder Vlad Svitanko, with BITKING, a web3 KOL, helping us co-host this massive Space and sharing his ideas too.
This time around, both Jax and MetaFroggy were present, the co-founders of the whole MEMECON thing.
Cryptorsy CEO and founder Vlad Svitanko was co-hosting, shouting out, and sharing his memecoin vision.
Last but never least, Fefe Demeny popped by, the host of the Crypto Banter live streaming almost 800,000 subscribers-strong YouTube channel and X community.
This Space was marked by several huge impromptu appearances, like Bonk of America and Fefe Demeny, which made it even more fun and relevant.
Let’s now dive into the key thoughts shared by those who graced the stage this time, shall we?

Mr. Dude from FOMO Bull Club presented their memecoin and launchpad, emphasizing their commitment to anti-rug pull initiatives and the readiness of their first projects, FKUSD and $DUMP TOKEN, for launch.
Are Memecoins RWAs?
The concept of memecoins actually being a type of tokenized real-world assets was introduced by the host Galimian, sparking a wave of cheer-on reactions from the folks on the stage and comments on the legitimacy of the tokens in the broader financial ecosystem.
MetaFroggy's Early Alpha
MetaFroggy shared some exciting developments for MEMECON:
$USEDCAR: Gently Used 2001 Honda Civic Adventure
A used Honda Civic, adorned with stickers from various memecoin communities, was driven from the UK to Portugal by Harry, its owner, and the guy behind the car’s token, $USEDCAR, which effectively tokenized everything that happened to the Honda in the lead-up, at, and will happen to it after the event.
The hood skating and sharpie+sticker putting session at MEMECON only gave the Civic more lore.

Confession Booth
MetaFroggy joked that MEMECON was going to have a full-blown confession booth on site, where attendees could share their crypto confessions.
The arrangement was well-received by the stage and the audience and sparked off a series of quips. A must-have for degens, huh?
And that’s exactly what ended up happening.

MEMECON Pre-Party #2: Final Alpha Before Groundbreaking Meme Conference
Held on May 24, exactly one week later at the same time, this was our pre-party experience-capping MEMECON Lounge #2.
We welcomed both Lounge #1 frens as well as spotlighted more memecoin projects heading to the conference for another FOMO-inducing squad of dogs x cats x talking heads x crips x chads, and more.
Ever closer to the actual event, this was the time when Gary Gensler’s SEC gave in and went ahead to approve a batch of Ethereum ETFs in a U-turn move, beefing up BlackRock’s ETF approval streak.
$PEPE just hammered home a new ATH, and Kabosu, the legendary Shiba Inu that inspired the OG dog memecoin, $DOGE, sadly passed.
What a flurry of every sort of event to have in the run-up to both Lounge #2 and later MEMECON itself, ladies and gents.

Final Pre-Party Highlights
Vlad was hyped about Lisbon, enjoying outdoor workouts already, and waiting for the memecoin enthusiasts to flex their projects.
He gave props to the meme coin community for being quick to act and engaged.
Vlad thinks that, with all due respect, sometimes memecoins are just way more fun than fundamental tech projects and predicts that memecoins will soon turn into an even bigger market, especially with the upcoming US elections.
Vlad emphasized unity, not competition, among memecoin projects, pushing for synchronized efforts to boost the meme coin narrative.
The Cryptorsy CEO announced an incentive campaign for community engagement, hyping the perfect environment for memecoins to thrive.
It's all about getting wrecked and spreading the meme coin madness as far as possible.

Jax & MetaFroggy - MEMECON Co-Founders
The founding team was super hyped about finally getting MEMECON underway.

MetaFroggy was also hyped about the community stepping up, mentioning folks from the FOMO magazine putting together dope side events.
Both think it's bull run time for memecoins and are excited to see the community blow up and have fun.
