Is Cat in a Dogs World (MEW) halal?
MEW is a Solana-based memecoin launched in 2024, themed around a cat-in-a-dogs-world cultural meme. There is no protocol revenue, no productive economic activity, and concentrated supply at launch. From an AAOIFI-aligned perspective, the speculative-only utility profile and pump-and-dump risk dominate the analysis. We classify pure-speculation memecoins as excluded.
