Memecoin

In the last 30 days, memecoin market capitalization has dropped by nearly $10 billion as capital exits crypto instead of rotating into high-risk tokens. Key Trump-linked coins have plunged over 90% from their highs, leaving retail investors with multibillion-dollar losses and reinforcing a shift toward safer alternative assets.

On Feb. 21, on-chain data showed that Shiba Inu's exchange netflow jumped by over 6% to 138,022,600,000 SHIB, signaling stronger selling pressure as market volatility persists. The token's price continues to trade around $0.0000065, with weak demand weighing on recovery expectations despite some traders still hoping for a rebound after the current downturn.

According to CryptoRank, retail holders of the official TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins are facing over $4.3 billion in losses after the tokens plunged more than 90% from their early 2025 peaks. The TRUMP token has dropped from an all-time high of $75 to around $3.55, while MELANIA has fallen from $13.05 to about $0.11, as insiders and exchanges reportedly captured substantial profits. Data cited from blockchain analytics shows losses are concentrated among nearly two million smaller wallets, with insiders earning roughly $600 million and some wallets extracting over $1.2 billion in total.

Dogecoin’s first U.S. spot ETFs, launched on Nov. 24, 2025, have gathered about $8.8 million in assets while DOGE trades near $0.096, below the $0.10 and $0.15 levels. Net inflows totaled $6.67 million by Feb. 19, but there has been an 18-day stretch with no new inflows and recent daily trading volume of roughly $247,000, highlighting subdued institutional interest compared with leading Bitcoin and Ethereum funds.

Dogecoin fell under the $0.1050 area against the US Dollar and is consolidating below $0.10, according to Kraken data. Immediate hurdles are near $0.10, $0.1005 and $0.1040, with a bearish trend line visible on the hourly chart. Failure to clear $0.1040 could leave $0.0955, $0.0920 and $0.0880 as key supports.

MemeCore fell 9.5% in the past 24 hours, with sentiment leaning bearish and its CoinMarketCap ranking under pressure. Spot volume shifted just 0.3% to roughly $5.82 million and holder counts dipped from 6,710 to 6,700, according to CoinMarketCap. CoinGlass flagged a 14.7% capital outflow and funding near neutral.

On 19 February, Bubblemaps said onchain traces connected wallets linked to Hayden Davis with an early $PUMP allocation of 12.5 billion tokens after roughly $50 million USDC was deployed via Pump.fun. The firm found about 80% of those tokens moved to centralized exchanges within days of launch and estimated realized profits near $15 million.

The official TRUMP team moved 9.089 million TRUMP tokens worth $31.45 million to BitGo while the token traded around $3.51 after a 4.67% daily rise. Price remains inside a long-term descending channel between support at $3.18 and resistance at $4.27 and $5.68, as modest exchange outflows and a 6.10% jump in open interest to $109.41 million point to building leverage and possible volatility.

Using a structured prompt, ChatGPT outlined end‑2026 price scenarios for three major altcoins. The model projects XRP could approach $8 from roughly $1.44, Dogecoin may reach the long‑watched $1 mark with an upside path to $1.50, and Solana could rally toward $450 after trading under $100 in February.

Shiba Inu faces heavy exchange deposits and a weak technical posture, with buyers showing limited conviction near resistance. The token remains in a broader downtrend, and recent volatility has cooled as it attempts short-term stabilization. Whether inflow pressure persists will likely determine if SHIB retests lows or attempts another recovery.
