Meme Coins Have Lost Nearly 82% Since 2024 as Sector-Wide Slump Deepens

The combined market capitalization of meme coins fell to roughly $24.5 billion, an 82% decline from the sector's peak in 2024.

Dogecoin, the largest meme coin, holds $13.7 billion of that total. It accounts for more than half the sector's value. The remaining meme coins together are worth about $10.8 billion.

At the other extreme, the Fartcoin token recorded an 89% drop over the past year, illustrating the steep losses in smaller names.

The current combined value is less than one-fifth of what it was at the high. The sector's composition has shifted toward a single dominant token. Meme coins once drove a significant share of exchange traffic and transaction fees. Their contraction reduces a key revenue stream for platforms that depend on retail trading.
