2025 is the year of memecoins: from Dogecoin to Shiba Inu, to the controversial “Official Trump (TRUMP)”, cryptocurrencies born as a joke are dominating the web and the market. But is it just a speculative bubble or a signal of a financial revolution? With Donald Trump and Elon Musk pouring gasoline on the fire, the phenomenon is hotter than ever. Here’s what’s happening, with verified data and an analysis of this viral trend. 🔥
Memecoin Mania: Eye-Popping Numbers 📈
According to CoinMarketCap, on March 25, 2025, Dogecoin (DOGE) reached a market capitalization of $35 billion, a 150% increase since January, driven by a tweet from Elon Musk on March 15: “Doge is the people's coin, unlike gold!”. Shiba Inu (SHIB) is not far behind, with a daily trading volume hitting $10 billion at the beginning of the month (DappRadar). But the real twist is “TRUMP”, the memecoin linked to the US President: Forbes reports that it gained 300% in one week after his official endorsement on March 10, 2025, on Truth Social. These numbers are driving the web crazy, but they divide experts.
Trump and Musk: The Kings of Hype 👑
Donald Trump, self-proclaimed 'Crypto President', has made memecoins a symbol of his pro-financial freedom agenda. On March 7, 2025, during the crypto summit at the White House (PBS News), he declared: “Funny coins are the future, unlike boring CBDCs.” Meanwhile, Musk continues to pump Dogecoin: Tesla has expanded DOGE payments to all its products (CNBC, March 23, 2025), and one of his posts on X caused the price to soar by 20% in a few hours. The Trump-Musk duo seems to be turning memecoins into a political and economic weapon, but at what cost? 🤔
The Web Goes Crazy: Sentiment and Discussions 🗣️
On Binance Square and X, the debate is heated. A viral post on March 20, 2025, on X states: “Memecoins are the new global casino, unlike serious blockchain.” Yet, a report from Messari on March 15, 2025, shows that 40% of new crypto investors in 2025 entered the market through memecoins, attracted by the simplicity and potential for quick profits. But there’s a downside: 60% of these tokens crash within a month of launch, according to CoinGecko, leaving many with empty pockets. 💥
Data in Hand: Bubble or Solid Base? 📊
Extreme Volatility: Bloomberg highlights that memecoins have an average annual volatility of 90%, compared to 40% for Bitcoin.
Real Adoption: Dogecoin is accepted by over 2,000 merchants in 2025 (Cointelegraph), but most memecoins remain pure speculation.
Manipulation: Forbes warns that 'whales' like Musk control up to 30% of the DOGE supply, creating suspicious pump-and-dump scenarios.
The Future: Chaos or Cult? 🌟
Memecoins are the most discussed topic on the crypto web in 2025, fueled by Trump and Musk using them as a megaphone for their fans. While some see them as a way to democratize finance, others scream about a bubble ready to burst. As Richard Teng of Binance says on CNBC (March 23, 2025): “Memecoins are a cultural phenomenon, but without real utility it will be difficult to sustain them.” What do you think: are they the future or a dangerous trend? 🎲
