In the fast-paced world of cryptocurrency, meme tokens keep making waves, blending humor with serious economic potential. Recently, Griša Cerne, Principal at the crypto venture capital firm Lemniscap, took to X (formerly Twitter) to share some thought-provoking views on the latest developments in this space.

His tweet thread, posted on September 29, 2025, delves into how meme tokens are evolving beyond simple jokes into tools for community engagement and decentralized finance (DeFi). For those new to the term, meme tokens are cryptocurrencies inspired by internet memes, often starting as fun projects but sometimes gaining massive traction through viral marketing and community support.

Griša highlights a specific example in his thread, quoting an article about a new meme token that's integrating AI elements for smarter trading mechanisms. This fusion of memes and technology could revolutionize how users interact with blockchain platforms, making them more accessible and entertaining.

He emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying technology, such as smart contracts—self-executing contracts with the terms directly written into code—to appreciate why these tokens are gaining legitimacy among investors.

As a former editor-in-chief at CoinDesk, I can tell you that keeping up with these trends is crucial for anyone in the blockchain field. Griša's thread serves as a reminder that meme tokens aren't just for laughs; they're a gateway to broader adoption of web3 technologies.
