<p>Traders sometimes get fed up with memecoins to the point of <strong><a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-traders-are-abandoning-meme-coins-whats-happening/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">fleeing them</a> at a certain point</strong>. Indeed, after a period of euphoria where these meme cryptos saw their values skyrocket, <strong>a brutal correction</strong> hit the market.</p>

<p>Experienced traders know that memecoins are often <strong>the first to suffer during market fluctuations</strong> due to their speculative nature and low capitalization.</p>
<p>With declining hopes of a bullish reversal, many investors now prefer to secure their profits or limit their losses. Crypto analyst <a href="https://twitter.com/ali_charts/status/1808958962848706912" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@Ali_charts</a> even suggested on X that <strong>the bullish cycle of memecoins might be over</strong>, signaling a phase of market complacency.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the rise in popularity of the <strong>Pump.fun platform by <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-solana-establishes-new-records-with-its-memecoins/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Solana</a></strong>, specializing in the <strong>generation of celebrity tokens</strong>, has also played a crucial role in the decline of traditional memecoins.</p>
<p>Traders have been attracted by these new meme cryptos, siphoning liquidity from existing projects.</p>
<p>Pump.fun has facilitated the creation of new coins in a snap, thus increasing competition and <strong>diluting interest in established memecoins</strong>.</p>

<p>Investors are now turning to opportunities perceived as more stable or innovative, leaving behind cryptos with uncontrollable volatility.</p>
<p>Despite this, some traders remain <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/mike-novogratz-memecoins-a-crypto-godsend/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">optimistic</a>. According to data from IntoTheBlock, <strong>more than 70% of DOGE, PEPE, and FLOKI holders are still in profit </strong>despite the recent drop.</p>
<p>However, caution is warranted, as <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-investing-in-memecoins-a-risky-adventure/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">market reversals</a> can be as swift as they are brutal in the world of meme cryptos.</p>
