Memecoins Crash: Shaping Crypto’s Turbulent Future in 2025

Memecoins are trading near the year-end lows, creating a sharp reversal from the speculative peak reached over the last Christmas in 2024. Memecoins fell 65% over the year to a market capitalization of $35 billion on December 19, according to CoinMarketCap data.

Fading Retail Interest

The sector has been trading at an average volume of 72% lower than the year, dropping to $3.05 trillion. As these retail investors in the crypto space have shifted their focus or interest away from highly speculative assets, towards memecoins, which once typically served as a barometer for risk appetite among retail traders.

Political Aspect

Political narratives drove memecoins’ explosive growth in 2024, turning the sector into a proxy for election-driven speculation. As per the data from CoinGecko, the enthusiasm around the US presidential race has also helped in pushing the memecoin valuations to record highs.

However, these high-profile launches tied to political figures marked a turning point. That political momentum, however, drove the sector’s decline further into 2025.

NFTs Follow Suit

The Non-fungible tokens (NFTs), are also a big part of the speculative crypto sectors, saw a sharp dip in valuations in December. NFTs fell to $2.5 billion in December, their lowest level in 2025, according to CoinGecko data. This mirrored memecoins’ 72% drop from a January peak of $9.2 billion. NFT activity also tanked, with weekly sellers dipping below 100,000 for the first time since April 2021, per CryptoSlam data.

As the crypto market continues to evolve, there is more emphasis on the utility and it’s real-world applications. It is up to industry players to capitalize on this opportunity and create a more sustainable future for crypto.

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip.

This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence.
