Investor enthusiasm for meme coins has waned following a series of unsuccessful launches and rug pulls that have dampened interest. However, the bull run is not over, and the segment could regain its position, according to a report by CoinGecko<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Experts pointed to the influence of TRUMP<\/a> and the controversies surrounding LIBRA<\/a> as factors that have shaped the dynamics of meme coins.<\/p>\n

While the “presidential” token and its counterpart from the First Lady of the United States<\/a> drew liquidity and attention away from other cryptocurrencies, the asset associated with Argentine leader Javier Milei became the “final nail in the coffin,” shattering illusions of their “fair launches.”<\/p>\n

Following the Pump & Dump of LIBRA, the number of new “funny coins” on the “meme token factory” Pump.fun<\/a> plummeted by more than 90%. From January to February, trading volume on the platform fell by 72%.<\/p>\n

The total market capitalization of the sector decreased from $124 billion on December 5 to $54 billion.<\/p>\n

According to experts, meme coins have “always been seasonal.” Some, like DOGE, SHIB, and BONK, have survived several market cycles and can serve as a benchmark for creators aiming to develop a long-term asset.<\/p>\n

CoinGecko quoted renowned segment expert Murad Mahmudov, who explained the success of certain “funny coins” by the cult-like communities that have formed around them, deeply passionate about their cause. The founders of such projects prioritize creating organic content.<\/p>\n
