Meme Coin Goes From "Christmas Frenzy" to Harsh Reality: One-Year Market Cap Down 65%

2025.12.26 20:44:33

December 26, 2025 — The meme coin market is nearing its 2025 annual low, sliding sharply from the speculative peak around Christmas 2024. As of December 19, total meme coin market cap dropped to $35 billion — the lowest point of 2025 — down roughly 65% from the year’s high, before edging up slightly to ~$36 billion. By contrast, meme coin market cap neared $100 billion on Christmas Day 2024. Trading activity in the sector has also fallen in tandem: annual volume dropped 72% to $3.05 trillion, signaling retail capital is moving away from high-risk speculative assets. The broader market views meme coins as a barometer of retail risk sentiment. This latest sharp contraction reflects rising caution in the current crypto environment, with the sector’s appeal to capital clearly waning. CoinGecko notes the 2024 meme coin boom was closely tied to the U.S. presidential election: election-themed tokens surged in popularity across social media, on-chain activity, and listing platforms. However, that political narrative has backfired in 2025, weighing on market sentiment.

On February 11th, Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 permissionless perpetual contract market reported a daily trading volume of $5.2 billion on February 5th—its highest single-day record since the protocol launched in October 2025.

J.P. Morgan Chase Lowers Coinbase (COIN) Price Target Significantly to $290, But Still Sees 75% Upside Potential

JPMorgan analyst Ken Worthington cut his Coinbase price target to $290 from $399 on Feb. 11, ahead of the crypto exchange’s Q4 earnings report due this Thursday. Worthington noted he’s still bullish on the stock— the revised target implies 75% upside from Coinbase’s current $165.5 share price. He forecasts adjusted EBITDA of $7.34 billion, down from Q3’s $8.01 billion, marking a sharp sequential decline driven by lower trading volume, softer crypto prices, and slower USDC stablecoin balance growth. Worthington projects Q4 spot crypto trading volume at $2.63 trillion. He also flagged a drop in circulating USDC and sees stablecoin-related revenue at $3.12 billion. Those headwinds are partially offset by revenue from Deribit— the crypto derivatives exchange Coinbase acquired last August— which contributed to full-quarter results. Including Deribit, JPMorgan’s model forecasts total trading revenue of $10.6 billion— with Deribit contributing ~$1.17 billion from an estimated $586 bi
