NFTs & Memecoins Stage Comeback: Crypto’s Wildest Assets Awaken After 30-Day Slumber

After a brutal month of sideways action, crypto's most speculative darlings are roaring back to life. NFTs and memecoins—the market's perennial drama queens—just flashed their first bullish signals since October 2025.

From Floor Prices to Moon Prices

Blue-chip NFT collections saw double-digit bumps overnight, while degenerate meme tokens ripped 50%+ on pure vapor. Traders are piling back in, proving crypto's appetite for risk never truly dies—it just naps occasionally.

The Institutional Eye-Roll

Meanwhile, Wall Street's crypto desks are muttering about 'irrational exuberance' between sips of $28 oat milk lattes. Because nothing screams 'mature asset class' like cartoon apes and dog-themed shitcoins stealing the spotlight again.

This rebound smells like vintage crypto: equal parts FOMO, hopium, and spite toward traditional finance. Buckle up.

In brief

• The NFT and memecoin markets rebound thanks to a renewed appetite for crypto risk.
• Memecoins show a generalized recovery, unlike NFTs still dependent on specific collections.

The crypto market changes pace

In one week, therose from 3.5 to 3.9 billion dollars. This represents a 12% increase according to CoinGecko data. Memecoins also show an 11% increase to reach a market capitalization of 52 billion dollars.

This means crypto traders are returning to speculative assets. In other words, the appetite for risk is reborn despite macroeconomic tensions. Small investors are reigniting the game. This new energy results inof the crypto ecosystem.

NFT: blue chips struggle, outsiders shine

The NFT sector is waking up, but not for everyone.

• Milady Maker jumps 80%.
• Mutant Ape Yacht Club progresses by 36.5%.
• CryptoPunks shows a leap of 22.8%.

More modest crypto projects like Lil Pudgys (+24%) and Courtyard on Polygon (+14%) stand out. On the other hand, some historical figures fall. This is notably the case for Bored Ape Yacht Club (-10.3%), Pudgy Penguins (-23%), and Moonbirds (-2%).

Three crypto blockchains fully benefit from this dynamic:

• BNB Chain (+53%);
• Flow (+43%);
• Polygon (+9.3%).

Others lose between 6% and 42% of NFT sales volume.

The NFT rally remains fragile. It still depends on a limited number of collections. The absence of figures like BAYC in the gains could warn about.

Memecoins: widespread rebound with the Trump token leading

The memecoin rebound could signal a considerable change in trader behavior. Unlike NFTs, these crypto assets record. Dogecoin, for example, gains 8.7%, Shiba Inu 10.4%, and Pepe 7%. On the Solana crypto blockchain, Bonk soars 11.8% and dogwifhat 14.2%.

The token associated with Donald TRUMP becomeswith the same increase of 14.2%.

In any case, if the current trend is confirmed, the crypto market could enter a new rotation phase. The more agile and community-based projects are now at the center of attention.
