The industry is mature enough that we can categorize tokens based on their legal, economic, and technical properties. It shouldn't be surprising that not all tokens have the same legal status or long term economic prospects!

maybe with later ethereum updates we should even bake that legal structure into the smart contract code lol

so everyone can instantly know if the token is considered a memecoin or what under US laws

I don't think simply calling it a memecoin makes it one, but there are definitely ways that specific token categorizations could be expressed onchain. This essentially already exists with tokens that you need KYC to buy or sell.
