The largest meme coins by market capitalization in Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and PepeCoin (PEPE) have been trading in the red since last week amid the rise of new competitors in the sector.
Recent bearish moves from Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) certainly haven’t helped either given their high correlation to the rest of the market.
PEPE topped the losses among the top three meme coins, down 14.9% since last week and 5.5% in the last 24 hours. It’s currently trading at $0.00000144 with a market capitalization of $619 million.
Still, on a 30-day scale, PEPE is up 52.5% after posting impressive triple-digit gains during June’s meme coin rally.
The launch of copycat projects like PEPE 2.0 and Shib 2.0 captured the market’s attention last week.
PEPE 2.0’s market capitalization soared over $50 million within a few days of its launch, per CoinGecko data.
At the same time, a new meme coin project, Wall Street Memes, created by the team that brought the popular Wall St Bulls NFT collection, has raised over $13 million in less than a week.
Is memecoin season really back? A crypto investor swapped 0.125 ETH, then worth $250, for 5.9 trillion PEPE tokens four days ago. Those tokens are currently worth $1.02 million. But the PEPE holder could struggle to realize that profit, due to liquidity issues around the token. While the memecoin investor currently holds $1.02 million in PEPE tokens, upon closer inspection it's clear that there is a difference between the valuation of assets "on paper" and real cash held. "With 5.9 trillion PEP...
The arrival of new competitors in the space likely shifted the trader’s attention away from PEPE. This can be seen in the declining trading volumes for the meme coins, falling below pre-pump levels in June.
The negative price action in BTC and ETH last week amid rate hike expectations by the U.S. Federal Reserve likely added to the selling pressure in meme coins.
BTC briefly lost support at $30,000 on Friday last week, last trading at $30,165.
ETH also slipped below $1,900 as buyers failed to maintain the positive momentum from June, last trading at $1,861.

Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm issued one of his starkest rebukes yet of the Trump administration’s Department of Justice on Friday, arguing that if federal prosecutors prevail in the developer’s upcoming criminal trial, decentralized finance could be permanently destroyed. “The DOJ wants to bury DeFi, saying I should’ve controlled it, added KYC, [and] never built it,” Storm wrote. “SDNY is trying to crush me, blocking every expert witness.” “If I lose, DeFi dies with me,” the crypto devel...
Late Thursday evening, Israeli fighter jets struck Iranian nuclear facilities, opening a wave of instability across global markets, with two camps split on what to do: those running for shelter and those fleeing risk. Gold, long considered a safe haven, beckoned investors seeking safety from the escalating Middle East conflict. Bitcoin, often touted as digital gold, instead joined the exodus of risk assets. "The traditional buyers of gold are not in the crypto market yet,” Stephen Wundke, direc...
GameStop shares plummeted on Thursday after the video game retailer announced that it would offer investors $1.75 billion worth of convertible senior notes, a form of corporate debt that Bitcoin-buying firms like Strategy have tapped to accumulate the asset. The Grapevine, Texas-based firm’s stock price had dropped 22% to $22.12, as of noon Eastern Time, according to Yahoo Finance. GameStop shares changed hands around $25.40 in late March, when the company said that it could start leveraging Bit...
