币界网报道：Memecoins have emerged as the only consistently profitable sector in the crypto market this year, outperforming other digital assets despite broader market volatility. According to data from CoinGecko, leading memecoins like Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Pepe (PEPE) have delivered significant gains, with PEPE surging over 1,000% year-to-date. Analysts attribute their resilience to strong community engagement, viral trends, and speculative trading activity. While major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have struggled with price fluctuations, memecoins have capitalized on retail investor interest and social media hype. However, experts caution that their long-term sustainability remains uncertain, as many lack fundamental utility beyond speculative trading. The trend highlights the growing influence of internet culture and meme-driven investments in the crypto space, even as regulators scrutinize the sector for potential risks.
