Hedera Releases Video on Creating a Token in Just 5 Minutes

For months, I’ve been advocating for Hedera and its ecosystem partners like HashPack Wallet and SaucerSwap to step up their game and start producing video tutorials. Specifically, tutorials on how to create meme coins and altcoins using the Hedera Network. Well, finally, the day has come! Hedera just uploaded a new video on their official YouTube channel, showing viewers how to launch their own token on Hedera in just 5 minutes. This is huge, and guess what? It’s probably the first-ever video from Hedera on how to do this. The best part? The video has garnered more views in its first week than any other Hedera video in the past two years. I knew people were eager to learn how to create their own tokens, whether they’re meme coins or altcoins—because the demand is clearly there!

Why This Matters

Now, you might ask, why is this video such a big deal? When you search YouTube for "how to create your own cryptocurrency" or "how to make a million-dollar meme coin," you’re flooded with hundreds—if not thousands—of tutorials. Many of these videos rack up hundreds of thousands or even millions of views. But here’s a crucial point: almost every single one of those videos is focused on creating tokens on networks like Solana, Binance Smart Chain (BNB), or Ethereum. These chains have grown into multi-billion-dollar ecosystems, largely thanks to the meme coins created on their networks.

The formula is simple: the networks that dominate search results and YouTube tutorials for token creation will become the go-to platforms for meme coin creators. This leads to massive growth in network value, as we’ve seen with BNB, Solana, and Ethereum. They’ve become meme coin powerhouses, and that’s added untold value to their ecosystems while making millions of people wealthy.

Hedera’s Untapped Potential

At the moment, no enterprise has launched a major, mass-use case on any cryptocurrency network. Could Hedera be the first to do so? Maybe. But until that day comes, meme coins will be a critical factor in driving growth. The networks that focus on enabling easy meme coin creation will become industry leaders, bringing the most wealth to retail investors.

Is this single video enough to spark a meme coin revolution on Hedera? Absolutely not! More needs to be done—a lot more. We need hundreds, if not thousands, of videos covering every possible aspect of token creation. Each video needs to be titled differently to capture all the variations of search queries people might use. If Hedera dominates YouTube and search results for these keywords, it will become a hub for new token creators. And every person who creates a meme or altcoin on Hedera doesn’t just invest in the network—they become a promoter. When someone launches a token, they immediately begin marketing it, which draws in buyers who also end up supporting the network. This creates a snowball effect that can bring tremendous value to the Hedera ecosystem.

My Concern: Simplicity is Key

While I applaud Hedera for releasing this video, I do have a small concern. The instructions in the video are slightly complicated—just a little bit—for the average person or someone with below-average tech skills. In my opinion, there are easier ways to create a token on Hedera, especially through tools provided by HashPack Wallet. These tools make launching a cryptocurrency incredibly simple, and I believe that if videos were made showing how to use HashPack’s features, even more people would jump on board to create their own tokens.

In conclusion, while this video is a step in the right direction, it’s only the beginning. Hedera needs to flood the internet with more content on how to create tokens. The easier it is for people to understand, the more likely they’ll be to use Hedera as their platform of choice. And every new creator adds value to the network. Let’s get those tutorials rolling!
