How Memecoins React In Run-Up To Bitcoin Halving

Memecoins remain down in the market as investors’ sentiment dwindled due to macroeconomic factors a few days after the Bitcoin halving. Generally, the crypto market sell-off has taken a toll on assets decentralized finance numbers, and memecoin. 

This year, the memecoin frenzy pushed tokens over the roof with a wider rally from the community. This was spurred by the approval and inflow of funds to Bitcoin ETFs that led to all-time highs for the asset. Traders looked towards the halving for more gains as memecoins often bounced with the general market sentiment. 

With the halving two days away and reduced consistent outflows from crypto assets, memecoins continue to lose ground.

Memecoins Record Outflows 

Dogecoin (DOGE) is down 5% in the last 24 hours and 25% this week. The memecoin giant also records plummeting trading volumes as market sentiment shifts. Dogecoin’s 24-hour trading volume stands at $2.26 billion with a market capitalization of $21 billion.

At press time, the asset trades at $0.1487 with bulls projecting a record after negative macroeconomic factors phase out. Shiba Inu (SHIB) is up 1.6% in the last 24 hours after weekly losses that wiped out previous gains. The asset has plunged 20% this week with a daily volume of $542 million. 

PEPE and Dogwifhat are both down 2.5% today although showing strength in the last couple of hours. Both assets are down 30.6% and 32.4% respectively this week. FLOKI and BONK are currently in daily gains but trades similarly with over 30% weekly outflows. 

The total memecoin market cap is down 5.8% just days before the Bitcoin halving.

Can It Recover? 

With widespread outflows over the last for memecoins, sentiments remain low days before the halving. However, previous Bitcoin halvings have ushered in a bull run leading to price surges. 

Crypto bulls back on the effect of the Bitcoin halving to spur renewed optimism leading to another memecoin rally. Although crypto prices remain low, several memecoins still record massive inflows based on community rallies. 

Catfish and PONKE are up 50.5% and 55% respectively.
