Over 11 Million Memecoins Vanish: Inside the Biggest Collapse in Crypto History
A new CoinGecko analysis is sparking conversation across the industry. It turns out 2025 saw more than 11.6 million memecoins collapse, largely due to extreme volatility and an overwhelming wave of quick-launch, low-effort tokens flooding the market. The October liquidation cascade only accelerated the wipeout.
What’s interesting, though, is that the sector isn’t staying down for long. Early 2026 data shows memecoin market caps and trading volumes bouncing back, suggesting that risk appetite in this corner of crypto remains as strong as ever.
It’s a reminder of just how fast the memecoin landscape can shift—and how quickly sentiment can flip from frenzy to fallout and back again.
