As the hype grows regarding a potential Dogecoin ETF, eyes turn towards other meme-driven cryptocurrencies poised to gain institutional traction. Among these is XYZVerse (XYZ), a relative newcomer that integrates sports fan culture with blockchain tech.
Already well-advanced through presale stages, the project has gained strong momentum in financing and community, which positions it as an upstart name to consider in 2025.
XYZVerse’s Presale Momentum and Community Model
XYZVerse has currently raised more than $10 million in its presale, with the team working towards a $15 million target. The price of the token has risen from $0.0001 to $0.003333 in various stages.
The next presale level is at $0.005, with the final presale price likely to reach $0.02. Once the presale is over, XYZ tokens will be listed on centralized and decentralized exchanges with a suggested listing price of $0.10. Exchange partnerships have not yet been officially announced, however.
How XYZVerse differs from other meme coins is its attempt to establish a rewards-based community. Rather than doing it through social media virality alone, the project incorporates token rewards for participation in the form of airdropped XYZ tokens earned by contributors.
The gamified approach seeks to enhance engagement, with a special emphasis on sports fans, though exhaustive use cases in the sports industry have not been entirely revealed at this point.
The project has been called the “Best New Meme Project” in promotional campaigns, although it should be mentioned that this award is based largely on internal community voting and not independent industry awards.
The project also defines tokenomics strategies through token burns with a structured plan and scheduled releases. Nonetheless, publicly available verifiable on-chain audits or third-party reviews of these mechanisms have not yet been released, something institutional investors normally demand before they invest large sums of capital.
How XYZVerse Stacks Up Against Dogecoin’s History
By comparison, Dogecoin has a rich history in the crypto space, having been launched in 2013. Developed originally as a joke on the cryptocurrency bubble, Dogecoin has an unlimited supply model, with 10,000 new DOGE tokens being minted each minute.Â
Its surge into the top ten cryptocurrencies by market cap in 2021 was fueled primarily by online communities and celebrity endorsement by the likes of Elon Musk. Although Dogecoin is still well-liked, there are still issues regarding its inflationary model, particularly when contrasted with capped-supply assets such as Bitcoin.
Recent speculation regarding a possible Dogecoin ETF has stoked wider interest in meme coins. But the situation in 2025 could be different, as newer projects such as XYZVerse seek to provide more formalized ecosystems that combine entertainment, utility, and community rewards.
How well XYZVerse will be able to move beyond initial hype to sustained market traction will depend on how well it is able to make good on listed exchange listings, keep its governance open, and develop actual-world use cases outside of its original sports angle.
In short, while the success of Dogecoin illustrates the influence of internet communities to drive market value, XYZVerse is a more gamified and organized effort to marry meme culture with engaged user incentives.
Its potential institutional appeal will be determined primarily by future disclosure, regulation, and continued user traction.
