The boom in meme stocks was caused by the convergence of the federal government'sStimulus checks and millions of new retail investors.
The movement was led by short squeezes in AMC Entertainment and GameStop.
There are 10 meme stocks that will be included in the Roundhill meme stock exchange traded fund.

The meme stock boom of 2021, which launched left-for-dead stocks like AMC Entertainment to record highs, inspired a new exchange traded fund that will invest in stocks based on social media activity and high short interest.

The Solactive Roundhill Meme Stock index will have a basket of 25 highly shorted stocks that have high social media activity and a market cap of at least $1 billion.

The rules-based fund is rebalanced twice per month.

The ticker "MEME" will be used to trade on the New York Stock Exchange. The underlying index of the fund went live earlier this month, but the fund has yet to be launched.

According to data from the fund's index provider, 10 of the 25 meme stocks will be owned by the Roundhill Meme Stock Exchange Traded Fund.
