Memecoin Fever Fades as Bitcoin's Resurgence Takes Center Stage

The recent surge in memecoins has seemingly lost steam as Bitcoin's resurgence captures traders' attention. Transaction flows for these assets across major blockchains like Ethereum and Solana have plummeted by an astonishing 81% since their peak in March, dropping from nearly $1 billion to just $191.88 million in the week ending May 3rd.

While a few outliers such as Bonk (BONK) have managed to stay in the green, the vast majority of memecoins are struggling to keep pace with Bitcoin's bullish recovery. Analysts attribute this divergence to the overall weak structure of the altcoin market and dwindling trading activity.
