Study of 150 memecoins: peak in 17 days, 95% crash in 370
- —Median time from first trade to peak was 17.2 days; a quarter peaked within 1.6 days
- —Median 370 days from peak to a 95% drawdown, 456 days from launch
- —Only 5 of 151 tokens trade above their first-day price
- —Fewer than 7% of Solana active addresses remain after a memecoin peaks
Why it matters: The data underscores the long-term risk of holding memecoins, as most never recover after their drawdown.
