What Happened: According to on-chain analytics from Into The Block, the meme coin market cap has returned to Q3 2024 levels, which were the lowest since early 2024 levels.
Key on-chain indicators to watch for a market shift include the number of traders: a rise in short-term traders signals new retail engagement.
Most meme coins are still in a downtrend, but a reversal could indicate a turning point.
Dogecoin DOGE/USD has seen an increase in short-term traders in late July 2024, though this number has dropped since. The number of short-term traders in Shiba Inu SHIB/USD is stable.
Other important metrics include:
- Transaction Count: Increased transaction volume suggests greater utility and community engagement, supporting sustained growth.
Dogecoin's transaction count held strong until late 2024 before falling.
- Holder Profitability: If many holders are at a loss while usage rises, it may signal undervalued opportunities with upside potential.
Floki emerged as the highest gainer with Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Pepe following the list.
Why It Matters: In a Bloomberg Crypto interview, Ark Invest founder, CEO and chief investment officer Cathie Wood warned that most meme coins will become worthless over time.
