In November 2024, the category's combined market cap reached $135.06B, but by June 15, 2026, it had fallen to $24.48B. This represents an 81.9% decline from its all-time high.
The sector has also remained under pressure throughout 2026, posting a -31.3% YTD performance.
At the same time, capital is rotating toward narratives that offer clearer economic value:
• Stablecoins
• Prediction Markets
• AI Infrastructure
• Revenue-Generating DeFi Protocols
These sectors dominate much of today's institutional and venture capital discussion, while memecoins compete for a smaller share of attention and liquidity.
