Despite the 30% intraday surge of Azalea’s MOTHER token, most other meme tokens remain largely unaffected as retail interest has seemingly taken a break.

According to CoinMarketCap data, the total trading volume of meme tokens fell over 12.8% to $5.46 billion in the past 24 hours, showcasing a slump in interest.

Some of this year’s favorite memecoins have taken double-digit losses over the past week. The Pepe (PEPE) token fell 17%, Bonk (BONK) fell over 20%, and Book of Meme (BOME) fell over 20% during the past seven days.

Unlike most of the largest cryptocurrencies, memecoins have no intrinsic utility or underlying value. Retail supply and demand mechanics for meme tokens are widely based on social media hype, which often leads to high price volatility.Why did Dogecoin pump? Source:Cointelegraph
