đ„Memecoin trading volumes are crashing! Here's whyđ
Popular memecoins like Dogecoin, Dogwifhat (WIF), and Pepe are taking a hit today, signaling a downturn in the once-booming sector.
This decline seems to be part of a broader market trend, with top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether also retracting from their recent highs ahead of the Bitcoin Halving 2024. Investors are cashing out profits, and memecoins aren't immune to this trend, as seen before the previous Bitcoin halving in May 2020.
There's a close relationship between Bitcoin and top memecoins, indicating that memecoin prices could follow Bitcoin's lead in the coming days.
Analysts predict a pattern similar to Bitcoin's 2016 halving, suggesting that selling pressure might continue for up to four months after the halving. This sentiment is adding to the downward pressure on memecoin prices.
As memecoin prices drop, so do trading volumes. Data from Dune Analytics shows a significant decline in weekly trading volumes across all blockchains, including Ethereum and Solana. This suggests that traders are losing interest or confidence in memecoins.
Solana, a popular blockchain for memecoin trading, has experienced an outage, with around 75% of transactions failing in recent sessions. This has further contributed to the decline in memecoin trading volumes.
Amid strong U.S. economic data and expectations of delayed interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve, investors are turning away from riskier investments like memecoins. This shift is driving selling sentiment in the crypto market, impacting memecoins, which had been profitable assets in 2024.
As investors seek safer options like U.S. Treasuries during periods of higher interest rates, the appeal of riskier investments like memecoins diminishes. This trend is likely to continue as market conditions evolve.
