Meme coins have surpassed the growth of a number of DeFi tokens this year. But, Jordan Belfort, the real "Wolf of Wall Street," claimed in his statement that Shiba Inu and Dogecoin are both 'sh*tcoins' with no real-world application. He also said that the creators of such tokens should be jailed.

Are meme coins 'sh*tcoins'?

As per Belfort, the cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu that are based on dog memes are actually scams. He said that he is a very big fan of blockchain, contrary to his 2018 YouTube video statement. But, in the interview with British tabloid, The Sun, he claims that meme coins are not a "proper investment." 
"You hear crazy stories of people making millions and billions, but for every person like that, there are 10,000 or 100,000 people getting their a** handed to them in Shiba Inu," said Belfort.
As per Belfort, these meme coins have only one job, "to separate people from their money." However, on the other hand, the Shiba Inu team is reportedly working on Metaverse adoption and a Shiba Inu game as well. The team added the former VP of Technology at Activision as a consultant for the game.

Lack of regulations

According to Jordan Belfort, the lack of regulations is a major reason why these meme coins are created on such a large scale. He also stated that the creators of such coins are guilty of robbing people of their money and, as a result, should be jailed. 
"People are taking advantage of an unregulated market and creating s**t coins which have no value and have no use," said Belfort in his interview.
Belfort stressed the importance of regulation in the cryptocurrency industry because, according to him, the tokens with actual value are getting defamed because of these coins. 
"The sooner governments step in, the better it is for crypto because when authorities start to regulate a dark market, it gets bigger and better," said Belfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund.
