Meme coins hit 2025 lows as investor interest fades

Business Dec 01, 2025

Meme coins, like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, have lost their shine in 2025.
Their prices and trading volumes have dropped sharply—trading is down nearly 70% from last year—as more investors shift toward established cryptocurrencies and AI-focused projects.

Big drops, a few surprises

Dogecoin has fallen 56%, Shiba Inu is down 62%, and PEPE and FartCoin have crashed by around 80%. PNut was among the hardest hit with an 88% loss.
Still, a few niche tokens like Useless, Giggle, and Trump Coin managed to go against the trend with gains of up to 49%.
