Mars Finance reports that, according to CoinMarketCap data, the Memecoin sector’s market capitalization has fallen to $35 billion, the lowest level of the year, down 65% from the approximately $100 billion valuation during last Christmas. As of Friday, the sector’s market cap rebounded to about $36 billion. Influenced by retail investors shifting towards non-highly speculative assets, the annual trading volume of the Memecoin sector decreased by 72% to $3.05 trillion. CoinGecko pointed out that political narratives in 2024 initially drove growth in this sector, but subsequent price declines in tokens related to political figures and insider activities led to a shift in market sentiment towards skepticism. Additionally, the NFT sector’s valuation also dropped to a low of $2.5 billion in December 2025, a 72% decrease from the peak of $9.2 billion in January. Data from CryptoSlam shows that the number of weekly active NFT sellers fell below 100,000 for the first time since April 2021.
