Roundhill Investments has officially launched the Roundhill Meme Stock ETF (NYSEARCA:MEME), giving investors direct exposure to one of the market’s most unpredictable trends. The fund is designed to capture the retail-fueled “meme stock” movement that began with GameStop (GME) and AMC (AMC) and continues to influence daily trading volumes.

Furthermore, the new ETF will focus on companies that have surged in popularity across social media and retail trading forums. It gives both traders and institutions a way to capture short-term momentum or hedge against volatility in speculative names.
“The meme trade started as a rebellion but has grown into a revolution,” said Dave Mazza, CEO of Roundhill Investments. “Retail investors have proven that they’re a permanent force in the market. With MEME, we’re giving investors a tool to capture that power.”
Fund Composition Highlights Retail Favorites
MEME’s top holdings include several of the market’s most heavily discussed names.
- Opendoor Technologies (OPEN) – 11.94%
- Plug Power (PLUG) – 10.71%
- Applied Digital (APLD) – 8.72%
- QuantumScape (QS) – 8.28%
- Cipher Mining (CIFR) – 7.25%
Other notable positions include Rigetti Computing (RGTI), Bloom Energy (BE), and Hims & Hers Health (HIMS), each weighted between 4% and 5%.
Roundhill said the fund will rotate holdings actively to reflect shifts in retail sentiment and liquidity trends. The company noted that this approach keeps the ETF aligned with what is moving in real time.
Roundhill Expands Its Thematic ETF Lineup
The Meme Stock ETF joins Roundhill’s growing suite of thematic funds that target emerging sectors of the market. Since its founding in 2018, the firm has built a reputation for introducing innovative exchange-traded products across technology, entertainment, and options-based strategies.
“Meme stocks may move untethered from fundamentals,” the company said in its launch statement, “but their trading power is impossible to ignore.” Roundhill believes MEME can serve both as a tactical momentum play and as a hedging tool for investors managing exposure to volatile names.
What to Look Out for Next
Roundhill’s MEME ETF launches at a time when retail trading activity is once again accelerating. Stocks such as Opendoor and Plug Power have recently seen sharp volume spikes as online discussions and short-term speculation drive volatility.
For investors, MEME offers a new way to participate in or manage risk around this dynamic corner of the market. The coming months will show whether the ETF becomes a lasting fixture or another short-lived product of the meme era.
