Mined with CoinFund
There’s so much noise across the echo chamber of crypto culture. What’s something people aren’t talking enough about?
Mined with CoinFund is a weekly show that explores the unearthed narratives within the crypto space. As a team of early stage investors and operators, our business is built on idea-spotting: catching a glimmer of one intriguing idea that could become a market-shaping opportunity.
Mining is a cryptographic process, but in the physical world, it is digging through boulders to find gems. We aim to uncover unpopular truths and unspoken perspectives that deserve to be debated.

Memecoins Drive Culture, Whether You Like $TRUMP or Not
President Trump’s inauguration has kicked off a new era of crypto’s regulatory acceptance in the US. But after launching his $TRUMP memecoin over the weekend and raking in billions, many are left with mixed feelings about what the next four years will look like under the first pro-crypto president.
According to Jito Labs Chief Legal Officer Rebecca Rettig, despite heavy criticism, memecoins are important drivers of culture, and if you don’t like them, you don’t have to participate in the market.
Rebecca joins Mined with CoinFund hosts Chris Perkins and Einar Braathen to chat $TRUMP and $MELANIA, the tokens’ impact on Solana and Jito, and what the new administration will mean for crypto’s regulatory clarity. They cover:
- Do memecoins matter? (5:59)
- Regulatory risks & launching tokens in the US (13:12)
- A post-Gensler SEC (22:56)
- Crypto companies building a US strategy (33:50)
