Crypto market maker, Wintermute is increasingly expanding its footprint into the world of meme coins. A significant portion of its top 20 meme coin
Crypto market maker Wintermute is making a big push into the world of meme coins. A large chunk of its top 20 meme coin holdings — 11 projects in total — are listed on Binance. This includes PEPE, NEIRO, BONK, WIF, FLOKI, and BABYDOGE. Its involvement with the popular meme coin GOAT also signifies a more aggressive market-making strategy in the meme coin market.
While PEPE and COK represent the highest and lowest market-value projects, respectively, the firm’s heavy presence on Binance is hard to miss. A look at Wintermute’s portfolio reveals a strategic focus on high-value meme coins that have moved past the early stages of development. This is evident from its top 20 holdings, which are collectively valued at over $100 million, with 30% of them surpassing the $1 billion mark.
The prominent market maker is also deeply involved in the GOAT ecosystem. They currently hold a large amount of GOAT tokens, ranking second in terms of holdings. Their frequent trading activity is also evident from the exchange tags on Arkham Intelligence, which reveal a smart approach to handling their token positions.

Moreover, Wintermute holds significant positions in other meme coins such as MOODENG, GOAT, PONKE, and MEW, totaling over $31 million. This showcases their diversified investment strategy within the memecoin market.
It holds 14.29 million tokens, ranking second in holdings, and frequently trades after receiving tokens (using Arkham, you can see many exchange tags). This address currently holds $10.61 million in MOODENG, $8.24 million in GOAT, $7.01 million in PONKE, and $5.43 million in MEW.
Furthermore, 11 out of the top 20 memecoin holdings on Binance, amounting to a substantial 55%, highlight Wintermute’s domineering influence on the market. The availability of spot trading for PEPE, NEIRO, BONK, WIF, FLOKI, and BABYDOGE, coupled with futures listings for PEPE, BONK, WIF, MOODENG, GOAT, MEW, NEIRO, POPCAT, FLOKI, and BABYDOGE, further solidifies its position as a major player in the meme coin market.
As Wintermute continues expanding its footprint in the meme coin market, the industry watches on, waiting to see if it can claim the title of the “No. 1 Meme Market Maker.”
