As the market continues to expand and operational models mature, MEME coins are gradually moving towards larger-scale and institutional operations. The participation of certain cryptocurrency market makers is also increasing, which will further enhance the liquidity and stability of the MEME market.

This article by PANews reviews the MEME coin holdings of five cryptocurrency market makers, including Wintermute, GSR Markets, Auros Global, B2C2 Group, and Cumberland DRW. These institutions collectively hold over $120 million worth of MEME coins, with Wintermute having the largest holdings and covering the most popular projects. Several of its MEME coins have successfully been listed on Binance, indicating its deep involvement and influence in the MEME coin sector. In contrast, other institutions have smaller holdings, primarily consisting of established MEME coins like PEPE and SHIB, and have conducted large transfers or sell-offs on multiple platforms.

It is worth mentioning that DWF Labs, which previously made a high-profile entry into MEME coins, no longer holds any MEME projects in its public address, possibly related to increased regulatory scrutiny on MEME market makers by U.S. authorities. In early October this year, several market makers, including Gotbit, ZM Quant, and CLS Global, were accused by multiple U.S. regulatory agencies of manipulating the MEME market, with the operator of MyTrade pleading guilty and the CEO of Gotbit being charged by the U.S. Department of Justice for allegedly orchestrating large-scale fraudulent trading.

Wintermute: Holdings Exceed $110 Million, 68% of MEME Coins Successfully Listed on Binance

According to Arkham data, as of November 8, Wintermute holds 19 MEME coins valued at over $1 million each, with a total holding value exceeding $110 million. The top three projects by holding value are MOODENG, GOAT, and PEPE, which together account for 40.9% of Wintermute's overall MEME holdings. Notably, most of these MEME coins are from Ethereum and Solana, and many are popular projects.

It is noteworthy that out of the 19 MEME coins held by Wintermute, 13 projects have successfully been listed on Binance, accounting for 68.4%, suggesting that this institution has become a bellwether for MEME coin listings on Binance.

GSR Markets: Still Holds Over $5 Million in NEIRO, Multiple Large Transfers Likely for Providing Liquidity

According to Arkham data, as of November 8, GSR Markets holds over 48.51 million NEIRO (uppercase), accounting for 4.8% of the total supply, valued at over $5.08 million. Since October, GSR Markets has transferred over $99.13 million worth of NEIRO to the exchange Bybit in multiple transactions, but Spot On Chain monitoring suggests that this operation may be aimed at providing more liquidity rather than selling.

Auros Global: Holdings Valued at Approximately $330,000, Frequent Transfers of NEIRO in the Past Month

According to Arkham data, as of November 8, Auros Global primarily holds PEPE, NEIRO (both uppercase and lowercase), and SHIB, with a holding value of $330,000, of which PEPE alone is valued at $197,000. Notably, since September 30, Auros Global has frequently transferred lowercase NEIRO to exchanges like Binance and Uniswap, with each transfer being below $70,000.

B2C2 Group: Only Holds Nearly $7 Million in SHIB

Currently, B2C2 Group only has significant holdings in SHIB. According to Arkham data, as of November 8, B2C2 Group holds SHIB valued at $6.89 million. Since the beginning of this year, B2C2 Group has gradually transferred large amounts of SHIB to platforms like Coinbase and Robinhood, with individual amounts often in the millions of dollars.

Cumberland DRW: Holdings of Nearly $230,000 in PEPE and SHIB, Has Sold Millions in the Past Few Months

Cumberland DRW has also chosen to hold established MEME coins, but in smaller proportions. According to Arkham data, as of November 8, Cumberland DRW holds approximately $210,000 in PEPE and $18,000 in SHIB. In recent months, Cumberland DRW has gradually transferred millions of dollars worth of PEPE and SHIB to platforms like OKX, Robinhood, and FalconX.
