Outlook and Analyst Insights
Amid this turbulent market, there are indications of renewed interest in meme coins. As of August 13, the total market capitalization for meme coins had grown to approximately $38.55 billion, representing a 2.25% increase. Trading volume also surged by 21.72%, reaching $3.92 billion, signaling increased investor engagement.
Analyst Murad Mahmudov has pointed out that only seven meme coins are currently among the top 100 cryptocurrencies. He predicts that this number could rise to over 25, given the market’s dynamics and growing interest in meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, which continue to perform relatively well despite recent declines.
