According to CoinMarketCap data, the market capitalization of the Memecoin sector fell to $35 billion on December 19, 2025, its lowest level of the year, a 65% drop from its valuation of approximately $100 billion during the Christmas period last year. As of Friday, the sector's market capitalization had recovered to approximately $36 billion. The annual trading volume of the Memecoin sector declined by 72% to $3.05 trillion, influenced by retail investor trends shifting towards less speculative assets. CoinGecko points out that political narratives in 2024 drove the sector's growth, but subsequent price declines in tokens associated with political figures and insider activity led to a shift in market sentiment towards skepticism. Furthermore, the NFT sector's valuation also fell to a low of $2.5 billion in December, a 72% drop from its peak of $9.2 billion in January. CryptoSlam data shows that the number of weekly active NFT sellers fell below 100,000 for the first time since April 2021. (Cointelegraph)
