The entire meme coin sector is in the green, with all top 20 tokens posting gains. Data from DeFiLlama reveals a 143% monthly increase in the sector’s valuation. Leading the charge, $DOGE has skyrocketed by 129%, fueled by Elon Musk’s recent appointment as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Tokens associated with Musk have seen their combined market cap climb to an impressive $45 billion.

Among the standout performers, $DOGE leads with a 129% increase, while PepeCoin follows closely with a 111% surge. Solana’s AI Prophecy token has witnessed an extraordinary 1,199% gain, and Sui’s UNI token has climbed 322%. These cross-chain successes underscore the growing influence of meme coins across multiple ecosystems.

The week also saw significant developments in the meme coin space. Cobie burned $17 million worth of UPONLY tokens, while FOMO3D launched with an unprecedented 95% investor ownership model. Binance and Coinbase further bolstered the sector by introducing their own meme tokens.

Despite these gains, meme coin activity remains subdued compared to previous peaks, suggesting retail interest hasn’t fully returned to the crypto market. However, the sector’s explosive growth indicates a strong foundation for future enthusiasm, with meme coins continuing to serve as a barometer for retail engagement in crypto.

As the market evolves, meme coins remain a dynamic and essential part of the crypto narrative.
