However, it looks like the “risk-reward” appeal of memes is cooling off. 

Fast-forward to now, memecoin market cap is still around $80 billion, but the TOTAL crypto market has surged to $4 trillion. That puts their share at roughly 2%, showing that their slice of the market has actually shrunk.

 Inside the structural shift in memecoin creation

A report by Galaxy points to “oversaturation” as the main reason, citing,

It explained that with just a few dollars and no coding experience, anyone could instantly launch a tradable, liquid token using a bonding curve. This sparked a structural shift in the memecoin landscape, token creation surged, and launchpads quickly became the dominant trend.

On Solana [SOL] alone, over 32 million tokens have been created, and more than 57 million across major chains. This means that 56% of all memecoins are on Solana, showing that oversaturation is happening right on-chain.

Simply put, oversupply is tanking memecoin value. With so many tokens flooding the network, individual token value tanks, and traders rotate their capital chasing quick flips elsewhere.

From pump to dump: The memecoin rotation cycle

Memecoins and the broader market are showing a clear inverse flow.

Back in Q2 2021, the DOGE/BTC ratio peaked at 0.00001287 just as BTC hit $60k, triggering a brutal 53% pullback by mid-July. Dogecoin [DOGE], on the other hand, blasted to $0.73, up over 1,000%.

Basically, traders rotated into DOGE as BTC hit resistance. Since then, however, every yearly cycle, the DOGE/BTC ratio has topped lower, showing memecoin rotations are losing punch versus BTC highs.

In short, memes aren’t catching rotation, keeping their market cap stuck.

This contradicts the core of memecoins. After all, they thrive on flow, hype, and timing. So clearly, this mismatch means the market is entering a more stagnant phase, where only the most viral tokens will see outsized moves.

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
