However, it looks like the “risk-reward” appeal of memes is cooling off. 

Fast-forward to now, memecoin market cap is still around $80 billion, but the TOTAL crypto market has surged to $4 trillion. That puts their share at roughly 2%, showing that their slice of the market has actually shrunk.

 Inside the structural shift in memecoin creation

A report by Galaxy points to “oversaturation” as the main reason, citing,

It explained that with just a few dollars and no coding experience, anyone could instantly launch a tradable, liquid token using a bonding curve. This sparked a structural shift in the memecoin landscape, token creation surged, and launchpads quickly became the dominant trend.

On Solana [SOL] alone, over 32 million tokens have been created, and more than 57 million across major chains. This means that 56% of all memecoins are on Solana, showing that oversaturation is happening right on-chain.

Simply put, oversupply is tanking memecoin value. With so many tokens flooding the network, individual token value tanks, and traders rotate their capital chasing quick flips elsewhere.

From pump to dump: The memecoin rotation cycle

Memecoins and the broader market are showing a clear inverse flow.

Back in Q2 2021, the DOGE/BTC ratio peaked at 0.00001287 just as BTC hit $60k, triggering a brutal 53% pullback by mid-July. Dogecoin [DOGE], on the other hand, blasted to $0.73, up over 1,000%.

Basically, traders rotated into DOGE as BTC hit resistance. Since then, however, every yearly cycle, the DOGE/BTC ratio has topped lower, showing memecoin rotations are losing punch versus BTC highs.

In short, memes aren’t catching rotation, keeping their market cap stuck.

This contradicts the core of memecoins. After all, they thrive on flow, hype, and timing. So clearly, this mismatch means the market is entering a more stagnant phase, where only the most viral tokens will see outsized moves.

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

The post Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave DAO is gearing up for a significant overhaul by shutting down over 50% of underperforming L2 instances. It is also restructuring its governance framework and deploying over $100 million to boost GHO. This could be a pivotal moment that propels Aave back to the forefront of on-chain lending or sparks unprecedented controversy within the DeFi community. Sponsored Sponsored ACI Proposes Shutting Down 50% of L2s The “State of the Union” report by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) paints a candid picture. After a turbulent period in the DeFi market and internal challenges, Aave (AAVE) now leads in key metrics: TVL, revenue, market share, and borrowing volume. Aave’s annual revenue of $130 million surpasses the combined cash reserves of its competitors. Tokenomics improvements and the AAVE token buyback program have also contributed to the ecosystem’s growth. Aave global metrics. Source: Aave However, the ACI’s report also highlights several pain points. First, regarding the Layer-2 (L2) strategy. While Aave’s L2 strategy was once a key driver of success, it is no longer fit for purpose. Over half of Aave’s instances on L2s and alt-L1s are not economically viable. Based on year-to-date data, over 86.6% of Aave’s revenue comes from the mainnet, indicating that everything else is a side quest. On this basis, ACI proposes closing underperforming networks. The DAO should invest in key networks with significant differentiators. Second, ACI is pushing for a complete overhaul of the “friendly fork” framework, as most have been unimpressive regarding TVL and revenue. In some cases, attackers have exploited them to Aave’s detriment, as seen with Spark. Sponsored Sponsored “The friendly fork model had a good intention but bad execution where the DAO was too friendly towards these forks, allowing the DAO only little upside,” the report states. Third, the instance model, once a smart…
