VanEck announced its GENZ ETF, aimed at tracking companies connected to the digital habits of younger generations. The post focused on how Gen Z participates in online economies, from spending to entertainment.

Another VanEck post about the ETF depicted the “American Dream” as an apartment with two roommates and a Robinhood account.

Smokey entered the conversation by contrasting the two, asking whether Gen Z would prefer exposure through a structured ETF or a meme-driven token on Solana.

He followed with another post noting the ETF’s $17.62M in assets under management, which led to “flippening” comparisons between the ETF and the token.

Shah also posted about the ETF, reinforcing the idea of flipping it with a memecoin.

The GENZ ETF token launched on April 9 and reached $960K market cap within a few hours.
