Meme stock resurgence prompts return of central meme investment fund

October 8, 2025

The resurgence of meme stock interest has prompted the return of a one-stop fund for the volatile and quirky investments. Roundhill Investments is launching a meme ETF, which is an exchange-traded fund consisting solely of meme stocks. Several of those stocks have ridden a wave of meme investment sentiment this year. The move comes two years after the provider of ETFs closed the fund because of slumping interest.

Krispy Kreme, GoPro and Beyond Meat surge as the latest meme stock revival rolls on

July 23, 2025

Investors are again turning to meme stocks in the hopes of scoring quick gains. The latest beaten down companies to see a share price revival are Krispy Kreme, GoPro and Beyond Meat. Each company initially surged before leveling off Wednesday. Wall Street defines a meme stock as a stock that gains significant popularity and trading volume, primarily driven by social media hype and online communities, rather than the company’s fundamental financial performance.
