Memecoins and Art Market Share Similar Valuation Mechanisms, Says CryptoQuant CEO

According to Cointelegraph, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju recently highlighted the similarities between memecoins and the art market, noting that both rely heavily on narrative creation to drive their valuation. Ju anticipates that the memecoin market will mature over the next five years, despite current challenges such as rug pulls and counterfeit tokens. He compared the economic dynamics of the art market to those of the memecoin market, suggesting that if the latter is deemed a scam, the same logic should apply to the art market.Memecoins remain a contentious topic within the crypto community, with ongoing debates about whether they signify a fundamental shift in value creation or are merely high-risk scams. A December 2024 report from CoinGecko revealed that memecoins were the most popular crypto narrative of the year, capturing over 30% of global crypto investor interest. Data from CoinMarketCap indicates that the memecoin sector's total market capitalization exceeds $101 billion, with Dogecoin (DOGE) alone accounting for $51 billion.In January 2025, memecoins gained renewed attention following the launch of the Official Trump token (TRUMP) by U.S. President Donald Trump. Within 48 hours, TRUMP achieved a fully diluted valuation of approximately $71 billion, ranking 15th by market capitalization on CoinGecko. A survey by NFT Evening found that 42% of Trump family memecoin buyers were first-time crypto investors, sparking discussions among market participants and legal experts.Consensys attorney Bill Hughes remarked that the President's memecoin signifies a fundamental policy shift and could lead to positive developments in U.S. crypto regulations. Conversely, attorney David Lesperance argued that the TRUMP token launch violates the Foreign Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which aims to prevent foreign influence on U.S. officials. Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren called for an investigation into the potential for undue foreign influence through the Trump memecoin. In response, crypto czar David Sacks likened the TRUMP token to a collectible, asserting it does not pose a conflict of interest.

Trump Coon News: Donald Trump's Memecoin Faces Decline Amidst Uncertainty

According to Cointelegraph, Donald Trump's newly launched memecoin, named after himself, has experienced a significant drop in value following the former US president's admission of limited knowledge about the cryptocurrency. During a press conference on January 21, where Trump announced a $500 billion investment in artificial intelligence, he responded to a reporter's question about the memecoin by stating, "I don’t know where it is. I don’t know much about it other than I launched it, other than it was very successful." He further inquired about its current status and, upon learning of its billion-dollar valuation, remarked, "Several billion … that’s peanuts for these guys," referring to notable figures like OpenAI's Sam Altman, Oracle's Larry Ellison, and SoftBank's Masayoshi Son.The Official Trump (TRUMP) memecoin has seen its value decrease from a 24-hour high of over $48 to approximately $42, marking a decline of over 43% from its peak of $73.43 on January 19, as reported by CoinGecko. The memecoin was unexpectedly launched on January 18 and quickly reached an all-time high, achieving a fully diluted valuation exceeding $70 billion, surpassing other major memecoins. Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart commented on the situation, stating, "Trump just nuked his own memecoin," in response to Trump's remarks. The Kobeissi Letter, a financial outlet, noted that Trump's apparent lack of involvement with the memecoin's launch might explain his absence of comments since its introduction.The decline in TRUMP's value was further compounded by the launch of a similar memecoin by First Lady Melania Trump. Her memecoin, Melania Meme (MELANIA), reached an all-time high of $13 on January 20 but has since plummeted by 68% to just over $4. The crypto community has expressed skepticism regarding Trump's memecoin, with some predicting a sell-off following the inauguration. Currently, there are 200 million TRUMP coins in circulation, with plans to increase the supply to a total of 1 billion coins over the next three years, according to the token's website. Additionally, Arkham Intelligence reports that one of Trump's crypto wallets is heavily invested in memecoins, with the largest holding being a token called TROG, valued at $3.1 million.

BONE Token's Expanded Role In Shibarium Ecosystem

According to ShibDaily, Shytoshi Kusama has unveiled the expanded utility of BONE, the gas fee token for Shiba Inu's Layer 2 solution, Shibarium. In a recent blog post, Kusama addressed the Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) surrounding BONE, emphasizing its pivotal role in blockchain innovation. The post comes as anticipation builds for the launch of the Shiba Inu Treat (TREAT) token. Kusama highlighted the team's efforts to establish relationships with exchanges, aiming not only to list TREAT but also to demonstrate Shibarium's capabilities and integrate all ecosystem projects. Despite operating without large budgets, the team has faced challenges, with Kusama suggesting that FUD is often spread by those close to the project who are aware of its development.The blog post redefines BONE's role beyond a simple gas token, introducing its function in a planned layer 3 system utilizing Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). This new utility expands BONE's core function as a gas token for Shibarium, making it essential for on-chain functionality and as a transaction medium for an expanded ecosystem of layer 3 projects. Kusama elaborated on an experimental project allowing users to create roll-ups, similar to Arbitrum or Optimism, which would settle on Shibarium. This design positions BONE as crucial for both settlement and data availability layers, ensuring blockchain transaction data is accessible and verifiable, which is vital for scalability and efficiency. The project compares BONE's use case to that of Celestia and its token TIA, highlighting Shibarium's dual role as a settlement and data availability layer.In addition to its architectural roles, BONE is intended to serve as the central hub for all "Spoke" chains, utilizing cross-chain enablement via Chainlink for all protocols. This underscores BONE's importance and the project's serious intentions, placing it at the center of an expanding network where its utility extends beyond individual transactions to the overall connectivity of the ecosystem. Kusama's blog concludes by emphasizing BONE's future utility and the project's focus on further adoption of Shibarium. The narrative around BONE is evolving, transforming from a simple gas token to a central element in a growing ecosystem, with expanded functions as a settlement and data availability layer, and as the foundation for new layer 3 projects operating through Shibarium.

Santiment Report: Meme Coins See Modest Gains Amid Whale Activity and FOMO Risks

According to BlockBeats, on December 8, the cryptocurrency market research firm Santiment shared insights on social media, highlighting subtle breakthroughs among several meme coins over the weekend. Tokens such as Dogecoin, Pepe, Dogwifhat, and Bonk have shown increased activity, with whale wallets potentially driving up market capitalization over an extended period. This trend is expected to continue until retail investors, driven by fear of missing out (FOMO), re-enter the market.The analysis suggests that once the general public becomes aware and starts investing heavily, these large holders, or 'whales,' may begin to sell off their holdings. This pattern often leads to a subsequent price correction shortly after the initial surge. The behavior of these whale wallets plays a significant role in the price dynamics of meme coins, as their large transactions can significantly impact market trends. The current situation indicates a strategic movement by these whales, capitalizing on the market's volatility and the psychological tendencies of smaller investors. As the market observes these developments, the potential for price fluctuations remains high. Investors are advised to stay informed and cautious, considering the historical patterns of whale activity and its effects on meme coin valuations. The ongoing situation underscores the importance of understanding market dynamics and the influence of major stakeholders in the cryptocurrency space.

According to U.Today, the Shiba Inu (SHIB) community has significantly increased its burn rate, removing tens of millions of SHIB tokens from circulation. In the past 24 hours, a total of 61,468,595 SHIB coins have been sent to unspendable wallets, marking a 5,154% increase in the burn rate.

This was followed by smaller transactions of 6,008,171 and 3,938,558 SHIB.The SHIB team, through its marketing lead known as Lucie, addressed the community, emphasizing the importance of patience and commitment to building within the crypto space.

On Tuesday, Javon Marks, a cryptocurrency analyst, shared insights on X (formerly Twitter) about several bullish technical indicators that could propel SHIB to new heights. Marks noted that Shiba Inu has been in a strong position, having broken out and risen by over 162% recently. He highlighted a "Hidden Bullish Divergence," which indicates increasing buying pressure despite price dips, as a key factor in the potential price increase.Marks' analysis suggests that this divergence could push SHIB over 75% above its 2024 highs, potentially leading to a 215% increase to a target price of $0.000081. The analysis also pointed out a significant breakout in late 2023/early 2024, followed by consolidation above previous resistance levels, now acting as potential support. This shift in market sentiment is further supported by increased trading volume during the breakout and consolidation phases.As of early Tuesday morning, Shiba Inu was trading at $0.000025, reflecting a slight decline over the past 24 hours and week. Despite this recent dip, the cryptocurrency has experienced a substantial 47.72% increase in value over the past month. Community sentiment on CoinMarketCap remains largely positive, with 89% of users expressing bullish views on SHIB's future, indicating strong underlying support and belief in its long-term potential.Shiba Inu currently holds a market capitalization of $14.83 billion and a circulating supply of 589.51 trillion SHIB, maintaining its status as a significant player in the cryptocurrency market. While the recent price decline suggests potential market volatility, the overall bullish sentiment and technical indicators point towards a promising outlook for Shiba Inu.
