Meme coins added between 1% and 17% to their value in the past 24 hours as Bitcoin recovered from the recent correction. Bitcoin sustains above $57,000 on Tuesday as meme coins extend gains and traders slowly turn profitable on positions that were underwater for the past week.

Coinglass data shows that Open Interest (OI) in Dogecoin increased by 2.37% on Tuesday, the highest increase in OI among top meme coins.

Bonk's value increased by over 20% in the past 24 hours, as seen on CoinGecko. Reports from McKinsey show that meme coins were the most profitable category in crypto in Q2 2024. While the sector may have lost its luster during the correction, it is making a swift recovery this week.

While meme coins continue to attract investors and drive interest among market participants, a legal expert believes they may soon capture the attention of US financial regulators.

Legal expert says the SEC may turn to meme coins for securities law violations

A Cointelegraph report shows that David Chung, Creo Legal’s founding director, says: “Nothing gets to the SEC faster than shilling a meme coin.” Chung is likely referring to celebrities and influencers and their interest in meme coins in the ongoing crypto cycle.

The legal expert believes that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could potentially go after celebrities for selling unregistered securities without an appropriate license. Liam Hennessy, partner at law firm Clyde & Co., says that celebrities had a difficult time in previous crypto cycles for “touting” crypto projects.
