Can Meme Coins Make a Strong Comeback in December 2025?

At the end of November 2025, the meme coin market began showing notable signs of recovery. Several meme coins displayed potential breakouts on price charts. These signals revived hopes for a rebound in this once highly active sector.

The question now arises: Can meme coins make a strong comeback in December 2025? The following analysis offers a more comprehensive and multidimensional perspective.

How Did Many Meme Coins Show Strong Weekly Gains in Late November?

The first signal came from the recovery in the average performance of major meme sectors across the market.

Data from Coingecko indicates that most meme sectors recorded positive weekly returns in the final week of November. The exception was the political meme sector (PolitiFi), which turned negative due to unlock pressure, causing Official Trump (TRUMP) to drop sharply. Other sectors recorded average gains ranging from 3% to over 20%.

Most meme coins currently sit at deep-bottom price ranges after a prolonged series of declines. Many holders have adopted a mindset of “consider it lost,” leading them to stop panic-selling and instead hold their positions passively.

Selling pressure, therefore, decreased significantly. This created a foundation for a quiet accumulation phase. This is typically the period when whales begin to act.

Which Meme Coins Led the Late-November Upsurge?

Several meme coins stood out and helped draw market attention back to the sector:

• TURBO rose 30% over the last seven days. On-chain data shows that the supply of TURBO on exchanges has dropped by roughly 40%, indicating that tokens have been withdrawn into private wallets. Additionally, seven new wallets purchased a total of 2,074,798,329.08 TURBO (~$4.23 million) directly from Coinbase.
• FARTCOIN jumped over 30% in the past week and over 100% from its monthly low. A report from BeInCrypto attributes this surge to whale accumulation and high on-chain trading activity throughout the month.
• Dogecoin (DOGE) recorded a 7% weekly recovery. Momentum mainly came from the launch of the DOGE ETF in the US.

Other meme coins also experienced strong appreciation. SPX6900 (SPX) climbed 50%, while Pippin (PIPPIN) surged 170% in the last week of November.

These developments formed the basis for renewed expectations of a meme coin resurgence in December.

“Nov–Dec 2024, memes went parabolic. Goat, Moodeng, Fartcoin, Popcat, SPX, PNUT all crossed $1 billion. Many others ran to $200–$500 million. Will Dec 2025 be the same? I believe so.”— Investor Aqeel Sid said.

A Window for Investors to Exit?

However, several analysts warn that if a recovery does occur, it may also present a final exit opportunity for previous holders.

“Memecoins may not have much runway left this cycle. The best outcome is temporary relief rallies. If someone is trapped in these coins, those rallies could realistically be their chance to exit.”— Analyst XForceGlobal said.

This skepticism has reasonable grounding. Investors have taken heavy losses multiple times. They may hesitate to accumulate high-risk assets with limited utility at elevated prices.

Instead, capital may be allocated to tokens with long histories, broader distribution, and proven survivability across previous market cycles.
