Roundhill Investments is set to launch the Roundhill MEME ETF on the NYSE, trading under the symbol MEME. This ETF is designed to capture the retail-driven meme stock phenomenon, which gained attention with the GameStop short squeeze and AMC rallies.
The MEME ETF aims to leverage the collective influence of retail investors on market values. The MEME ETF’s largest holdings include Opendoor Technologies Inc (OPEN), Plug Power Inc (PLUG), and Applied Digital Corp (APLD). These companies have experienced significant volatility due to retail investor enthusiasm.
Opendoor Technologies, in particular, has shown how retail interest can lead to dramatic price swings, making it a key component of the ETF. The MEME ETF offers a strategic tool for investors interested in momentum-driven trades or hedging against short positions. The unpredictable nature of meme stocks makes this ETF appealing for those looking to capitalize on market trends influenced by retail investors.
The ETF’s current price is $9.81, reflecting a 1.9% decrease. Today, MEME’s price has ranged from $9.66 to $10.06, with a trading volume of 1,053,063 shares. Over the past year, the ETF has seen a high of $43.20 and a low of $5.72. With a market capitalization of approximately $714,541, MEME is listed on the AMEX exchange, providing investors with access to the dynamic world of meme stocks.
