Memecoin sector closes 2025 near lows as retail speculation fades
Memecoins ended 2025 near year-end lows as market capitalization fell sharply from 2024 peaks, reflecting weaker retail participation, lower liquidity, and rising concentration in leading tokens.
Market data indicates that memecoins are ending 2025 at subdued levels after a sharp reversal from last year’s speculative peak. According to  the sector’s market capitalization stood near $35 billion in mid December, marking the lowest point of the year and far below the roughly $100 billion level seen around Christmas 2024. Trading activity also weakened, with annual volume falling about 72 percent to $3.05 trillion.
