Market Cap and Analyst Insights

The meme coin market cap has grown by 10.69% in the last 24 hours, now totaling $50.4 billion. According to "Altcoin Sherpa" on social media platform X, the meme coin market is evolving differently compared to the 2021 crypto bull market. Attention and liquidity are spread across numerous meme coins, leading to moderate gains rather than concentrated massive rallies seen previously with coins like WIF and SHIB.

Analysts suggest that while occasional rallies like PEPE's may occur, the broader trend for meme coins could be characterized by more distributed gains across multiple tokens.

The dispersion of attention and liquidity across multiple meme coins could lead to heightened volatility and unpredictable market movements.
