Why SimpleSwap Treats Its Asset List Like Insurance Instead of a Shop Window

Back to Media

Summary

Rene Peters sets the loudest segment of the half against its actual use.

Launchpad activity hit record daily volumes in January, yet across the whole half memecoins accounted for 1.1% of volume and 1.4% of transactions on simpleswap.io.

“Catalogue length is not a shop window. It is an option bought before anyone needs it.”

Key Takeaways

  • Memecoins made 1.1% of volume and 1.4% of transactions despite dominating the half's noise.
  • 268 assets were made routable, about ten a week.
  • The median new asset waited 48 days for first meaningful use; the fastest took 101 hours.
  • The spread measures how unevenly attention lands, not how fast a venue can list.
  • A route is a path rather than an inventory position, so an unused one costs almost nothing.
  • Catalogue length is framed as an option bought before anyone needs it.
