Legacy Meme Coins Poised to Benefit from Shift Away from New Launches

Crypto commentators are arguing that Dogecoin and Shiba Inu are poised to benefit from a shift away from new coin launches. David Gokhshtein, a market expert, highlighted that investors are growing weary of chasing newly launched meme coins that often collapse shortly after debut.

Gokhshtein noted that capital could rotate back toward projects with established communities and longer operating histories. He emphasized that Dogecoin remains the benchmark for the sector, stating 'Until someone flips DOGE, it's still the standard every meme should be measured against.'

Shiba Inu's recent price action has strengthened Gokhshtein's conviction that the industry's 'OG culture' is beginning to return, a trend he believes could benefit legacy meme coins broadly.

Not everyone shares this optimism. Crypto analyst Kevin drew a distinction between disciplined investing and speculative trading, arguing that meme coins occupy a separate, higher-risk category.

The analyst added they have generated returns across multiple Bitcoin and altcoin cycles by focusing on high-probability, low-risk opportunities but cautioned that most meme coins ultimately fail.
