McCann Develops Meme Street Strategy for Institutional Meme Coin Investing

Joe McCann, a hedge fund founder with over 25 years of experience, is focusing on meme coin investing through his Technology Master Fund, which ranks third globally for 12-month returns as of March 2024. He developed a 'Meme Street' investment strategy that combines traditional risk mitigation with the volatility of the meme market.

Key Principles of Meme Street

Invest in blue-chip meme coins with a market cap over $1B maintained for at least 90 days.
Limit total fund exposure to non-top 20% coins to 2%.
Analyze meme coins using technical analysis and data.

McCann's $BONK Trade

In 2023, McCann recognized a shift of stablecoin funds from Ethereum to Solana, predicting a price increase for Solana. He invested in $BONK, which experienced significant gains in Q4 2023. To manage exits, he analyzed real-time order flows for signs of accumulation or distribution.

Outlook for 2025

McCann is optimistic about Bitcoin and Solana due to rising institutional interest. Countries are accumulating Bitcoin as part of strategic reserves, while Solana offers advantages over Ethereum. He cautions against hype-driven investments, stating that only strategic traders will thrive moving forward.
