81% of Memecoins Are Dead (And One Platform Is Getting Richer) 💀💰
Coin Metrics just dropped a study that should terrify every degen : 81% of memecoins have lost at least 90% from their peak. Only 5 out of 150 recovered. And Pump.fun made $18.6M in the same week.
Here's the brutal math :
🔹 The Coin Metrics study — 150 memecoins analyzed. 81% down 90%+ from ATH. Only 5 recovered. "Recovery essentially does not occur," said Victor Ramirez, Senior Data Scientist . That's not a correction. That's a graveyard.
🔹 But $PUMP .fun doesn't care — The platform generated $18.64M in protocol revenue over seven days**, taking **36% of the $52.5M traders paid in fees . Because Pump.fun charges on every trade — win or lose. A trader who sells at a loss to buy another token generates new fees .
🔹 The $PUMP token is up 60% in 30 days — Backed by $478M cumulative buybacks, funded directly from platform fees . The token reversed its 2026 losses while the tokens it helped launch are dying.
🔹 The overhang nobody's watching — Three early investor wallets just moved 1.458 billion PUMP ($7.58M) to Coinbase Prime. These wallets have 70 billion PUMP still unlocking since July . The buybacks are real. So is the supply.
The takeaway ? The memecoin market is a casino where the house takes a cut on every hand. The players lose 90% of the time. The platform wins every time. This isn't a bug — it's the business model.
Pro tip : When 81% of tokens are dead, you're not picking winners. You're picking survivors. Watch the platform revenue, not the token charts.

Meme Coins Peak in 17 Days, Crash in 370Summary: Coin Metrics studied 150 meme coins: the median peaked in 17.2 days and fell 95% in 370 days; only 3% returned to their highs. AI and prediction markets are drawing attention away.
Meme coin projects typically reach their all-time highs 17.2 days after their first trade, with a quarter peaking within 1.6 days. The median time to fall from the peak to a 95% price drop is 370 days, and only 3% of projects return to their all-time highs.
These figures come from a report titled “State of the Network,” published by Victor Ramirez, a senior data scientist at Coin Metrics. The study used Kaplan–Meier survival analysis—a statistical tool originally used in clinical trials to estimate median survival time—to model the full lifecycles of 150 meme coins. The sample consisted of tokens launched after BONK went live in December 2023, when the Solana meme coin era took off in earnest. Tokens also had to have market data available on at least one centralized exchange.
