Meme Coin Mania Loses Steam: Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Pepe Show Bullish Fatigue
The meme coin rally hits a wall—Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Pepe are flashing warning signs as retail enthusiasm wanes. Once the darlings of crypto Twitter, these assets now struggle to maintain momentum while ’serious’ investors pretend they never dabbled in them.
Is this the end of the meme trade, or just another dip before the next hype cycle? Either way, Wall Street will keep collecting fees while Main Street bags the volatility.
