The hedge fund world appears to be finding the siren song of memecoins irresistible.
When Dogwifhat became the hottest token in crypto back in December, Newport Beach, California-based Stratos launched a liquid fund that held the token, whose mascot is, of course, a dog wearing a beanie. At one point, the token’s price appreciated by more than 300 times, helping the fund post a 137% return in the first quarter, or more than double the gains seen overall in the crypto market. Dogwifhat is down more than 40% from its record high reached last month.
