Data: The market value of the Memecoin sector has dropped by 65% in a year, falling to 35 billion dollars

According to CoinMarketCap data, the market capitalization of the Memecoin sector has dropped to $35 billion, marking a yearly low and a 65% decline from the valuation of about $100 billion during last Christmas. As of Friday, the sector's market capitalization has rebounded to approximately $36 billion.

Influenced by the shift in retail investor trends towards non-highly speculative assets, the annual trading volume of the Memecoin sector has decreased by 72% to $3.05 trillion. CoinGecko pointed out that the political narrative in 2024 had previously driven growth in the sector, but subsequent price declines of tokens associated with political figures and insider activities have led to a shift in market sentiment towards skepticism. Additionally, the valuation of the NFT sector also fell to a low of $2.5 billion in December 2025, down 72% from the peak of $9.2 billion in January. CryptoSlam data shows that the number of active NFT sellers per week has fallen below 100,000 for the first time since April 2021.
