The contraction of the sector’s main capitalizations
At its peak level during 2024, this specific segment of crypto assets stood at $135 billion. The subsequent behavior was characterized by a prolonged liquidation process. CryptoRank analysts on X revealed that the meme coin market failed to regain the momentum of the previous cycle, despite recording several temporary rebounds.
The option with the greatest weight in this category so far is Dogecoin ($DOGE). Currently, the capitalization of this asset stands at around $13.7 billion, placing it close to the top 10 main assets of the general crypto market.
Despite its sector dominance, the CryptoRank report details that in the last 30 days, this asset suffered a 20.5% drop. For its part, Shiba Inu (SHIB), which ranks second in valuation, fell nearly 14% in the same monthly period. This drop reduced its global value to an estimated $3 billion.
PEPE is the third asset of relevance, with a valuation of $1.25 billion. Its price dropped 21% in one month and accumulated a 74% decline over the last 52 weeks.
Price variations in lower-volume assets
At the lower levels of the capitalization list, tokens like Bonk, Fartcoin, and dogwifhat (WIF) recorded losses ranging between 15% and 30% in a four-week interval. The price of Official Trump (TRUMP) remained down with a 12.2% decrease, trading below the $2 threshold at the time the report was written.
Among these names, Bonk presented itself as the least affected project in the annual comparison, with a 69% decrease. On the opposite extreme, Fartcoin appeared as the most damaged, retreating 89%, although it showed a recovery close to 5% in the last 24 hours.
A different trend was observed in low-liquidity tokens such as Kintara (KINS) and Original Doge (OGDOGE). These options rose 2,664% and 1,765% respectively in the last 30 days. However, their combined size barely approaches $20 million.
The figure assigned to Dogecoin represents more than half of the current wealth of the entire niche. Data from CoinGecko indicates that the price of $DOGE is 50% lower than that recorded a year ago. Market development over the coming days will determine whether the current support of the main meme coin manages to stabilize capital outflows to other sectors of the digital economy.
