The memecoin trade might be over. And Joe McCann says that’s just the beginning. The founder of Asymmetric has been at the intersection of crypto, macro, and tech for years. He called the $BONK trade early, made moves before most saw the opportunity, and now? He’s shifting his focus. Meanwhile, the crypto markets are a bloodbath, with bitcoin, ether, and solana down 10%, 41%, and 35%, respectively, year-to-date. In this episode, Joe joins Unchained to discuss:
- Why memecoins won’t work the way they used to
- How institutions are approaching crypto in this cycle
- Why prices are down so much
- Why Bitcoin might be so hard to outperform
- Whether Solana is still the fastest horse
