The memecoin sector saw a sharp downturn on Monday, with its total market value decreasing by over 5% in just 24 hours.
This drop is part of a broader trend, with the top ten meme coins having lost about 65% of their value on average from their peaks over the past year.
Both Dogecoin ( DOGE ) and Shiba Inu ( SHIB ), the two most prominent meme coins, have experienced significant declines recently. In the past week alone, DOGE and SHIB have decreased by 13% and 12%, respectively, pushing the combined market cap of meme coins down to $38 billion.
Dogecoin, despite being the largest meme coin by market cap, has seen its value fall significantly. Over the last three months, DOGE has dropped by 40%, and it fell another 5% in the last day. Currently priced at about $0.094, it has a 52-week high of $0.226 and a low of $0.057, marking a 57% decline from its highest point in the past year. It remains 87% below its all-time peak of $0.73 from May 8, 2021.
