<p>The crypto market is undergoing a significant correction, with a particularly pronounced drop for memecoins. As investors turn to more solid assets, are we witnessing a paradigm shift in the industry?</p>
<h2 id="h-the-debacle-of-memecoins">The Debacle of Memecoins&nbsp;</h2>
<p>The <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/the-crypto-market-is-collapsing-bitcoin-and-ether-in-free-fall/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto market</a> recorded a 3% drop in the last 12 hours, with total capitalization reaching its monthly low of 2.48 trillion dollars. However, it is the memecoins that suffered the most, with double-digit losses for most of them.</p>

<p>Kyle Chassé, a Bitcoin pioneer, <a href="https://x.com/kyle_chasse/status/1802960517113192795" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">highlighted</a> on X the speed at which investors are turning away from these speculative assets. He calls this movement a “flight to quality,” where traders now favor crypto assets with a clear function or purpose.</p>
<p>According to CoinGecko, the market capitalization of memecoins has dropped by 14%, settling at 48.8 billion dollars. The MAGA TRUMP coin was the hardest hit with a 34% drop, while others like dogwifhat, Brett, and Book of Meme also recorded losses of over 14%.</p>
<p>Even industry leaders such as Dogecoin, <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/shiba-inu-crypto-buckle-up-for-an-unleashed-june/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Shiba Inu</a>, and Pepe were not spared. Only the DOG-GO-TO-THE-MON token, based on Runes, managed to stay in the green over the past seven days.</p>

<p>While <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/spectacular-comeback-of-memecoins-amid-the-crypto-market-downturn/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">memecoins</a> are the most affected, the decline affects the entire altcoin market. Solana lost 7%, falling to $132, while Cardano dropped 7.8% to settle at $0.37.</p>
<p>Other assets like Avalanche (AVAX), Uniswap (UNI), Internet Computer (ICP), and Near Protocol (NEAR) also suffered. Bitcoin, meanwhile, found support around $65,000 but remains stuck in a lateral channel for three and a half months.</p>

Nonetheless, the more pronounced drop in memecoins could be a sign of a changing mindset among investors.</p>
<p>After a period of speculative euphoria, the market seems to be maturing and seeking projects that offer real added value. Only time will tell if this trend holds or if the appetite for risk will take over again.</p>
<p>The debacle of memecoins may mark a turning point for the <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-paris-match-immortalizes-its-iconic-photos-as-nfts-on-ethereum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto industry</a>. As investors appear to favor more solid assets, it remains to be seen if this “flight to quality” will be confirmed over time.</p>
