The meme coin market has witnessed explosive growth in 2024, with its total market value surging by over 330% in the first eleven months. This growth coincided with Bitcoin surpassing $100,000 for the first time and a broader crypto market rally fueled by President Trump’s election. Dogecoin, a leading meme coin, reached a peak price of $0.47, marking a 400% increase since the beginning of the year, while Shiba Inu $SHIB

and other meme coins collectively increased their share of the cryptocurrency market from 1.3% to 3.16%. During this period, meme coin trading volumes skyrocketed by over 950%, driving the sector's total market value to exceed $140 billion. Despite declines in other areas of the crypto economy, meme coins maintained robust trading activity, especially in June. Analysts caution, however, that the rapid rise of meme coins could signal the formation of a speculative bubble, potentially intensifying the ongoing bull market while shortening its duration. This highlights both the opportunities and risks associated with the surging popularity of these highly speculative assets.
