During the last bull market, in what is popularly known as the Solana meme coin season, a number of new cryptocurrencies made their way to the forefront. These digital assets had gone from market caps in the tens of millions to cross the billion-dollar market cap, sometimes in only a matter of months. Due to their rapid growth rate, these meme coins have quickly garnered a wide holder base. However, as the bear market has rolled around, these billion-dollar meme coins have crashed by a large margin, completely eliminating the majority of their gains. POPCAT Meme Coin Goes From $2 Billion To Below $50 Million POPCAT is one of the most recognizable names to come out of the Solana meme coin season, but its growth trajectory is even more interesting. When the meme coin’s price crossed $1 back in 2024, it actually became the first cat-themed meme coin to officially cross this major milestone. Related Reading: Bitcoin Flashes ‘Dangerous’ Macro Fractal – What To Expect For Price The total growth from less than $1 million to over $2 billion happened in less than one year, showing one of the most impressive meme coin rallies in history. Even more interesting is the fact that the meme coin did not stop there, eventually reaching $2 billion before reaching a top. However, since the initial decline, which began back in November 2024, the price has now crashed by more than 97%. It has gone from $2.05 per coin at the peak, with the meme coin’s market cap dropping below $50 million as it is currently trading at $0.05 at the time of writing. This categorizes it as one of the worst crashes that has plagued a previously top meme coin. Cats In A Dogs World (MEW) Drops Rapidly Unlike POPCAT, Cats in a Dogs World (MEW) had made its entrance to the meme coin market ‘fully formed.’ The meme coin had burst into the scene with its market cap already trading above $100 million, earning it allegations that it was a ‘cabal coin.’ Related Reading: Bitcoin 23 Bar Theory: What Happens To The BTC Price If The Bottom Is In? Nevertheless, the meme coin had continued to move upward, eventually topping just above $1.2 billion. This was before the bear market hit, and the price began to fall again in November of 2024. Since then, the price has fallen by more than 95%, with its market cap now sitting at a mere $50 million. Peanut The Squirrel (PNUT) Meme Coin Disappoints Investors Peanut The Squirrel (PNUT) is a meme coin named after an Eastern gray squirrel which went viral after its dead in 2024. The death of the squirrel had led to public outcry after it was put down by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), and the meme coin was born not long after. Related Reading: Why XRP Price Is About To Stage The Breakout Of The Decade Following its launch, the meme coin quickly gained prominence, gaining support from the Binance crypto exchange and quickly getting listed. As a result, it was able to cross $1 billion market cap in less than one month, becoming the fastest on this list to reach the milestone. Just like its growth trajectory was fastest, the PNUT meme coin has suffered the most in terms of losses. According to data from the Coingecko website, the coin is down more than 98% since November 2024 and is now sitting at a $40 million market cap. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

On-chain data shows the Ethereum versions of USDT and USDC, the two largest stablecoins, have seen their active addresses fall to the lowest level of 2026. USDC & USDT Active Addresses Have Fallen On The Ethereum Network In a new post on X, on-chain analytics firm Santiment has talked about the latest trend in the Daily Active Addresses for the Ethereum versions of USDT and USDC. This indicator measures the daily total number of addresses participating in some kind of transaction activity on the network. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whales Ramp Up Accumulation: Holdings Hit 2-Month High When the value of this metric goes up, it means more addresses are coming online on the blockchain every day. Such a trend implies user interest in the cryptocurrency is rising. On the other hand, the indicator observing a decline suggests holders of the asset are reducing their transaction activity as fewer of them are making moves on the network. Now, here is the chart shared by Santiment that shows the trend in this metric for USDT and USDC on the Ethereum blockchain over the last few months: As displayed in the above graph, both the top two stablecoins have seen a drawdown in the Daily Active Addresses, suggesting activity related to them has declined. More specifically, the metric has dropped to 202,300 for USDT and 109,300 for USDC. Both these values are the lowest that they have been since December. Stablecoins occupy a different spot in the sector than volatile assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum; investors use them when they want to stash their capital away from the volatility associated with the other cryptocurrencies. Because of this reason, stablecoins are often considered to represent the “dry powder” sitting on the sidelines in the digital asset sector. Whenever these tokens are on the move, it means investors are either stashing away capital or injecting it into the volatile side. Given that the Daily Active Addresses has plunged for the Ethereum blockchain version of USDT and USDC recently, it would appear that there isn’t much demand for stablecoin-related swaps right now. Interestingly, this trend has come alongside a recovery surge in Ethereum and other assets. As such, it’s possible that the volatility could soon ignite fresh activity in the space. As Santiment explained: With Bitcoin making good momentum today and pushing toward $75K, expect for traders’ buying power to pick up a bit as they look to take more chances. More volatility means more ‘dry powder’ being moved. Related Reading: Huge XRP Bull Market Ahead?
