#MEMEAct **#MEMEAct: Regulating Meme Stocks & Market Volatility**

The **MEME Act** (Mitigating Extreme Market Emergencies Act) is a proposed U.S. legislation aimed at addressing the risks posed by meme stocks and social media-driven trading frenzies. Inspired by events like the **GameStop (GME) and AMC short squeezes**, the bill seeks to:

- **Increase transparency** in short-selling and dark pool trading.

- **Strengthen SEC oversight** of social media-driven market manipulation.

- **Protect retail investors** from extreme volatility caused by coordinated trading.

Critics argue it could stifle market freedom, while supporters believe it’s necessary to prevent destabilizing surges. The debate continues as regulators weigh the balance between innovation and market stability.
