Solana-Based Memecoins Experience Price Declines

Over the past 24 hours, the top ten memecoins native to the Solana network have all seen declines, accompanied by a decrease in the value of Sol, the network’s native cryptocurrency, by over 3%.

Among the notable decreases, Dogwifhat saw a decline of 5%, while Bonk experienced a drop of 3.5%. Book of Meme faced a significant downturn of 10%, and Jeo Boden’s value decreased by 1.3%. Cat in a Dogs World suffered the most substantial decline, plummeting by 18.9%, followed by Popcat with an 18.0% decrease. Myro encountered a 5.0% drop, while Wen and Slerf both experienced declines of 14.4% and 7.4%, respectively. Additionally, Catcoin saw a decrease of 7.7% in its value.

As a result, the entire Solana memecoin market cap now stands at $8.3 billion, constituting 12% of the total memecoin market value, estimated at around $64 billion, according to Coingecko data.

Furthermore, the daily moving average of non-vote transactions on the Solana network has fallen to approximately 24 million, marking a multi-week low. This decline in transactions coincides with congestion on the Solana network, attributed to spam transactions.

Despite the decrease in memecoin prices, the popularity of on-chain memecoin trading on Solana led to a new all-time high in on-chain volumes, measured in U.S. dollar terms, on Friday.

Solana Liquidations Spike

Sol, the native cryptocurrency of the Solana network, experienced a decline of over 3% in the past 24 hours, trading at $175 at 9:22 a.m. ET, according to The Block’s Price Page.

Notably, Sol long positions bore the brunt of Monday’s market volatility, with over $4.33 million in Sol long liquidations recorded in the past 24 hours out of a total of $4.81 million in liquidations across the wider cryptocurrency market, which saw over $173 million in liquidations over the same period, according to Coinglass data.
