Hey there, crypto enthusiasts! If you're into the wild world of meme tokens and blockchain innovations, you've probably heard the buzz around Internet Capital Markets, or ICM for short. It's this fresh concept on Solana that's all about making it super easy for anyone with an internet connection to invest in projects through tokens—think of it as democratizing funding without the red tape of traditional finance. And now, things just got even more exciting with the launch of ICM.RUN, an incubator designed to nurture teams building in this space.

The announcement came straight from Mercy, the ICM Guy himself (@7VoMercy on X), who shared the news in a thread that's already generating a ton of hype. Back in July, he teased the idea, saying it's not enough for web2 founders to just drop a token—there needs to be real support for ICM to thrive. Fast forward to September 11, 2025, and boom: ICM.RUN is live, built on top of MeteoraAG, and running on Solana, which is positioning itself as the go-to chain for these internet-native capital markets.

So, what exactly is ICM.RUN? From their site at icm.run, it's a DAO-powered incubator where founders can apply to get their projects accelerated. The application process is straightforward: describe your project, explain the problem it solves, detail how your token fits in, share your go-to-market strategy, and even upload pitch decks or whitepapers. Once submitted, a group of mentors and the DAO reviews and votes on it. They're even encouraging applicants to shout about their submissions on X by tagging @icmdotrun—smart way to build community buzz, right?

This ties perfectly into the meme token scene because ICM is essentially the backbone for quick, permissionless funding. Meme tokens, with their viral potential and community-driven raises, fit right into this narrative. Solana's high-speed, low-cost network makes it ideal for launching these tokens without breaking the bank. Projects like Believe and others mentioned in the ecosystem are already riding this wave, and ICM.RUN aims to supercharge more of them.

The thread lit up with support from the community. Folks like @yashhsm chimed in with "Internet capital markets," while @DineroDom0 praised the stacked team behind ICM.RUN. Even @MeteoriteCol shouted "ACCELERATE!!" It's clear this launch is heating things up on Solana.

If you're a builder in the meme token or broader crypto space, head over to icm.run and apply. Who knows? Your next big idea could get the boost it needs to go viral. Stay tuned for more updates—Meme Insider will keep you in the loop on how ICM is reshaping the game.
