- Regulatory changes not targeting memecoins directly.
Meme-asset trading has declined to less than 5% of daily volume on decentralized exchanges, dropping significantly from over 50% on Solana DEXs as of June 2025, according to Blockworks Research.
The decline in meme-asset trading highlights a shift in market focus toward utility tokens, affecting liquidity flow and indicating evolving dynamics within the DeFi and broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.
The market has seen a decline as meme-asset trading volume drops below 5% on DEXs. Previously, these assets held a significant share, especially on Solana-based exchanges.
Blockworks Research data highlights this decline, signaling a shift in market interest. Meme-assets on Solana once accounted for over 50% of trading but have retraced significantly. “The significant concentration of Solana-based memecoins in DEX trading was noted earlier when they accounted for over 50%, illustrating the volatility in market dynamics.”
Immediate effects include a liquidity shift as traders move away from meme-assets. Solana and Ethereum networks remain central as traders pivot towards different tokens.
This trend highlights a growing focus on utility and governance tokens. Despite memecoins’ decline, Layer 1 projects like Ethereum and Solana maintain their influence. For more insights, see the BNB Half Year Report 2025.
