The memecoin market has seen a significant decline over the past year, with the top 10 memecoins losing an average of 63.73% from their peak value.
The biggest losers include BOME, which has lost 79.48% in value, and SHIB, which has fallen 70.86%. Other major memecoins like DOGE, PEPE, and WIF have also seen significant declines, down 57.93%, 58.16%, and 70.93% respectively. Even POPCAT, which has fared better than most, is still down 43.77%.
