The crypto market had another brutal day — and this time, Memecoins and AI tokens took the heaviest hit. According to the latest market stats, both sectors saw massive drops in market cap, volume, and 7-day performance, with nearly every major token in deep red.
From $DOGE sinking nearly 15% weekly, to $PEPE down 19%, and AI giants like $TAO, $ICP, $NEAR, and $FET dropping between 19% and 29%, the crash is spreading across every niche of the market.
Here’s a full breakdown of the latest numbers — and what this means for crypto going forward.
Memecoins Crash: DOGE, SHIB, PEPE, TRUMP All Bleeding
📉 Market Cap (30D): –29.09%
📉 Volume (30D): –29.43%
The entire memecoin sector is collapsing, with the market cap losing nearly a third in just 30 days.

Top Memecoins — Latest Stats From the Screenshot
| Token | Price | 24h % | 7d % | Market Cap | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dogecoin (DOGE) | $0.1393 | –2.36% | –14.83% | $21.17B | Downtrend accelerating |
| Shiba Inu (SHIB) | $0.00007688 | –3.82% | –15.46% | $4.53B | Heavy weekly losses |
| MemeCore (M) | $1.96 | –2.91% | –13.82% | $2.04B | Red 7-day pattern |
| PEPE | $0.000054099 | –4.32% | –19.08% | $1.72B | Biggest loser among majors |
| TRUMP | $6.28 | –0.63% | –12.77% | $1.25B | Still sliding despite hype |
Across the board, charts show a consistent downward slope over the last 7 days, with no signs of reversal yet.
Even highly-traded tokens like $DOGE and $SHIB are struggling under heavy sell pressure as liquidity thins out.
AI & Big Data Tokens Collapse: TAO, ICP, NEAR Deep in Red
📉 Market Cap (30D): –25.68%
📈 Volume (30D): +138.68%
AI tokens are crashing too — but trading activity is exploding, suggesting panic rotation and capitulation.

Top AI Tokens — Latest Stats From the Screenshot
| Token | Price | 24h % | 7d % | Market Cap | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bittensor (TAO) | $271.41 | –4.57% | –19.50% | $2.81B | AI sector leader bleeding hard |
| NEAR | $1.81 | –4.86% | –25.83% | $2.33B | One of worst performers |
| ICP | $4.11 | –6.67% | –21.23% | $2.22B | Strong weekly downtrend |
| Filecoin (FIL) | $1.61 | –4.25% | –23.26% | $1.16B | Storage tokens hit too |
| Render (RNDR) | $1.67 | –4.13% | –22.93% | $866M | Weak structure |
| Story IP | $2.26 | –6.02% | –29.25% | $749M | Biggest loser among AI tokens |
The 7-day charts on all major AI tokens are nearly identical:
🔻 Sharp decline
🔻 Lower highs
🔻 Accelerating sell-off
The fact that volume jumped +138% as prices collapsed signals waves of forced liquidation — not organic trading.
Why Both Markets Are Crashing
While the charts show the results, the causes are consistent across both categories:
1. Market-wide liquidity drain: High-risk sectors like memecoins and AI tokens are usually the first to get wiped out during macro stress.
2. $Bitcoin volatility dragging everything down: BTC's repeated failures and deep pullbacks push traders to derisk from high-beta coins.
3. Overheated markets correcting aggressively: Both memecoins and AI coins rallied hard earlier — making this correction even stronger.
Memecoin Price and AI Tokens: What’s Next?
Short term, the charts show no confirmed bottom across either sector. Here’s the outlook:
Memecoins
- Likely to drop further if Bitcoin continues falling
- No strong support levels shown in the 7-day patterns
- TRUMP and PEPE remain most volatile
AI Tokens
- Sector remains fundamentally strong, but sentiment is broken
- TAO, ICP, NEAR could retest lower levels before stabilizing
- Volume spike suggests more downside volatility coming
If Bitcoin retests deeper lows, both memecoins and AI tokens could see another 10–20% drop in the coming days.
