Memes reverse three months of progress
Since the German government dumped its seized Bitcoin last week, the downward impact on the cryptocurrency market has intensified. Memes have seen a significant decline in value because of the market’s telling impacts of the probable supply shock caused by the repayment of Mt. Gox BTC creditors
. Except for BRETT and MOG, every major meme coin has had a value loss of more than 30% over a month. These coins are expected to offset profits made during the meme coin frenzy that lasted from March through May, according to the Sentiment chart below.
The cryptocurrency Dogwifhat (WIF), which spearheaded the Solana meme coin craze early this year, has dropped more than 61% from its all-time high of $4.83 on March 31. The top meme coin, DOGE, has dropped from its annual high of $0.2202 by more than 50%. The next most popular meme token, Shiba Inu, has similarly decreased by 57% from its peak this year.

Crypto expert @Ali_charts, meanwhile, hypothesized that the bull cycle might be finished because the market may have already passed the euphoric stage and is now at a complacent stage. Similar advice is given by certain other traders, who urge investors to book profits or reduce losses before a subsequent downturn.
Memes could see further declines if this is the case.
The popularity of Pump. fun, Solana’s token creation tool, is another factor contributing to the decreased growth of top meme coins. The majority of traders may have moved their money from popular meme coins to the numerous celebrity meme coins that have recently entered the market.
⁰In lighter news, given their extreme volatility, the recent drop in meme coins might be viewed as a typical trend. Memes are typically the most impacted coins during market upswings or downturns, surging or falling in multiples of the overall market’s change.
