Meme Coins have lost nearly 82% of their value since their 2024 peak, with CryptoRank data showing more than $110 billion erased.

Key Points:

Meme Coin Slump

The meme coin market has struggled to recover from its 2024 high, when the sector was valued at about $135 billion, according to data cited by CryptoPotato.

The category is now worth about $24.5 billion after a 31% decline this year, and several rebounds have failed to restore the momentum of the previous cycle.

“Despite several rebounds throughout 2025, the meme coin market has been unable to regain the momentum of the previous cycle,” CryptoRank analysts wrote on X.

Dogecoin remains the largest meme coin, with a market capitalization of about $13.7 billion, leaving it just outside the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market value.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has fallen almost 14% over 30 days, cutting its value to about $3 billion, while PEPE (PEPE) is worth about $1.25 billion after dropping more than 21% in one month.

Dogecoin Signal

Losses have spread across the sector, with Bonk (BONK), Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) and dogwifhat (WIF) down between 15% and 30% over four weeks.

Official Trump (TRUMP) has also lost 12.2% and traded below $2 at the time of writing, while Bonk was the best performer over one year despite falling 69%.

Smaller names moved differently, with Kintara (KINS) up 2,664% and Original Doge (OGDOGE) up 1,765% over 30 days.

Alphractal said sentiment around DOGE has turned unusually negative, even as the token trades near a level that has previously preceded major gains: “The market is reading DOGE as a dead meme. The chart is reading it as a coiled spring.”

Dogecoin has still lost more than 50% of its price over the past year, according to CoinGecko, making the latest setup a test of whether historical support still matters after the sector’s post-2024 unwind.
