NFT memes have sold for millions of dollars. Some of the most popular coins in existence are purely built on memes. As the most popular network, many Bitcoin memecoins using the BRC-20 protocols have seen huge successes. In preparation for the Runes launch, some leading Bitcoin memecoins, such as [WZRD](https://unisat.io/market/brc20?tick=wzrd) and [PUPS](https://unisat.io/market/brc20?tick=pups) announced they would migrate their existing BRC-20 tokens to the new Runes protocol. We are likely to see a lot more Bitcoin memecoins launching as Runes into the future.
