During the <a href="https://x.com/Futurist_conf/status/1823369864628806137" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Blockchain Futuristic Conference</a> in Toronto, Canada, a live discussion took place at the WonderFi main stage titled “Memecoins, Social Investing, and DeFi – How Retail Trading Will Continue Evolving.” <a href="https://x.com/jelena_noble" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Jelena Djuric</a>, CEO of Noble and a panel speaker, expressed her skepticism about the longevity of these memecoins in the market.&nbsp;
Initially, these tokens garnered attention through social media hype and speculative trading, reminiscent of the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) boom and the Non-Fungible Token (NFT) surge. However, just as ICOs and NFTs eventually faced market corrections and waning interest, MEME is now experiencing similar patterns.
Like NFTs and ICOs, they are no longer expected to be unbothered in the market. Investors have become incurious to invest in <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/x-restores-access-to-account-for-creating-memecoins-via-x-posts/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">MEME.</a> NFTs experienced a significant boom in 2020, while ICOs surged in 2017. The ICO market saw a notable increase in 2017, with an estimated $4.9 billion raised. This was followed by a major spike in 2018, reaching $33.4 billion, before experiencing a sharp decline to $370 million.

The memecoin frenzy that once captivated retail investors has shown signs of slowing down. In August, the performance of many memecoins saw a marked decline compared to their explosive beginnings.&nbsp;
Top memecoins fail to surge high amid the crypto market recovery.
