The total market capitalization for all memecoins recently hit a 2025 low of around $35 to $39.4 billion, a sharp decline from its peak valuation of over $150 billion in late 2024. This represents a significant drop of nearly 70% from the sector's peak value. 

The downturn has been attributed to several factors:

Market Saturation Over 13 million new meme tokens were issued in 2025 alone, diluting the market and leading to many short-lived projects and scams.

Investor Fatigue The initial enthusiasm waned, with retail investors moving away from high-risk, speculative assets.

High-Profile Flops Tokens tied to political figures experienced pump-and-dump events, shattering investor confidence.

Lack of Utility The sector faced criticism for the tokens' lack of real-world use or underlying asset value, with social hype being the primary driver.

Broader Market Decline The slump occurred within a wider cryptocurrency market downturn, with the total crypto market cap also seeing a sharp drop in November 2025. 

Despite the crash, established coins like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) continue to dominate the sector, holding more than 50% of the remaining market capitalization.
