The memecoin market is showing signs of resurgence after a year of decline. The "memecoin dominance" ratio, which tracks the sector's share of the total altcoin market, has reversed course from historic lows. The total market capitalization of meme assets has reclaimed the $50 billion mark, with tokens like PEPE, BONK, and FLOKI experiencing double-digit gains. According to data from CryptoQuant, meme tokens' dominance within the altcoin market had fallen to 3.2% by December 2025 but analysts suggest that a bounce from this bottom could indicate a return of market risk appetite, potentially setting the stage for a new altcoin season. Data from Santiment indicates that the collective market capitalization of meme coins jumped over 20% in the first week of the year.
