The value of all meme coins combined has fallen to around $36 billion, and most categories are currently down in value for the year, with only one showing a gain. Four key indicators suggest a price rebound isn’t likely to happen soon.
The widespread nature of the recent price drops is the first concerning sign. Data from CoinGecko shows that many meme coins are currently experiencing losses.

AI-related meme cryptocurrencies have suffered the biggest losses this year, declining by 46%. Tokens based on dogs, the 4chan website, and Elon Musk have all seen similar drops, falling between 28% and 30%.
The ‘Boy’s Club’ and ‘Frog’ collections saw smaller declines, falling about 19-20%. However, the ‘Four.meme Ecosystem’ on BNB Chain is a standout, growing more than threefold since January.
Another sign of changing trends is that meme coins are becoming less popular. Data from CryptoQuant shows their share of the altcoin market decreased from 0.042 in mid-February to 0.034 in March, indicating investors are moving their money away from these tokens.
A third worrying sign is declining activity on the Solana blockchain. Once a hotspot for speculative memecoins, Solana is now seeing a significant drop in users. Analyst Shah pointed out that the number of people trading on Solana’s decentralized exchanges (DEXs) is at an all-time low.
He noted that involvement is currently very low, with only a few thousand people remaining active. This means promising cryptocurrencies that once had the potential to reach a market cap of $100 million to $1 billion are now limited to trading between $500,000 and $20 million.
Analyst Capexbt described the chain as a “ghost town.”
Activity on the Solana blockchain has significantly decreased. While it once saw around 4.8 million daily users on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) in January 2025 – a period of peak excitement around meme coins and right before the presidential inauguration – that number has plummeted to just 640,000. This represents an 87% drop in just 14 months. Similarly, daily trading volume on these exchanges has fallen from a high of $38 billion to a very small amount.

The overall economic environment is also a key factor. Rising global tensions, especially between the US and Iran, have caused significant fear in the cryptocurrency market, as reflected by the Crypto Fear and Greed Index remaining at extremely low levels.
Without fresh liquidity and renewed risk appetite, conditions for a meme coin rally remain absent.
