What Is the Meme Season Index?

Are meme tokens beating Bitcoin right now?
How the Meme Season Index Works
We track a carefully selected group of the top meme tokens, including: DOGE, SHIB, PEPE, TRUMP, BONK, FARTCOIN, SPX, WIF, FLOKI, and POPCAT.
We calculate the percentage return of each meme token over the selected timeframe (30 or 90 days) and compare it to Bitcoin's return over the same period.
The Meme Season Index is calculated as: (Number of Meme Tokens Outperforming BTC / Total Meme Tokens) x 100
