- •The combined value of meme coins has climbed beyond $81 billion, fueled by fresh inflows from investors who see renewed upside potential in speculative tokens.
- •Dogecoin, Shiba Inu and PEPE dominate trading volume thanks to institutional positioning and whale accumulation.
- •Despite minor pullbacks over the past 24 hours, sentiment and liquidity indicators point to an ongoing upward trend across the top assets in this category.
The meme coin sector has staged a strong rebound over the past week, with market capitalization and trading activity advancing in tandem. Dogecoin remains the leading force in the segment after several days of steady growth. Although it slipped 3.10% in the last 24 hours to trade at $0.2371, its weekly momentum remains intact, driven by large‑holder accumulation and correlation with Bitcoin. Daily trading volumes surpass $2.7 billion, and some analysts still see room for a swift return to recent highs.
Shiba Inu holds its position as the second most prominent asset in the space. Currently priced at $0.00001156 after a 2.79% daily dip, it maintains over $200 million in trading volume. Whale purchases continue to appear during brief pullbacks, suggesting that many investors view it as a lower‑cost entry within the same speculative ecosystem.
PEPE shows a similar pattern. The token is down 3.71% in the last 24 hours with a current price of $0.0098757, yet its market cap remains above $4.1 billion and daily volumes keep it firmly among the most traded meme coins.
EXPANSION SIGNALS BEYOND THE TOP THREE
Other tokens such as Bonk, FLOKI, dogwifhat and MemeCore are also riding the broader upswing, even as they experience short‑term dips. Bonk trades at $0.00001799 after a 4.67% pullback, while FLOKI sits at $0.00008848 with a 3.55% decline. WIF is down 2.80% to $0.6778. Despite the latest retreats, weekly performance across these assets continues to reflect renewed capital inflows.
INSTITUTIONAL INTEREST AND ACCUMULATION TRENDS
The rapid growth of the meme coin market is increasingly linked to their inclusion in corporate treasuries and digital asset strategies that once focused solely on Bitcoin and Ethereum. The gradual addition of alternative tokens gives investors new avenues to diversify in a space historically driven by retail speculation. The minor downturn in the past day has not reversed the broader momentum built over the week, and several analysts expect further gains if trading volumes stay elevated. Market observers also highlight the expanding role of derivatives, liquidity hubs and automated market makers in sustaining interest.
