Chart of the day: Solana memecoins flashing market maturity signals

Trading Volume-to-Market Capitalization (TV-MC) ratio is a metric used in crypto analytics to gauge the activity level and liquidity of a given asset or sector.


For Solana’s meme token sub-sector, recent data shows that meme tokens on the Solana network recorded a trading volume of $3.5 billion on November 7, while the sector’s market capitalization stands at approximately $13.4 billion, reflecting a TV-MC ratio of 0.26. 


Typically, TV-MC values between 0 .2 to 05 is symptomatic of a maturing market, without extreme speculation. Assets with values within this range are likely experiencing steady liquidity and consistent market engagement relative to their current market valuation. 


The Solana memecoin sector’s rising TV-MC ratio underlines steady growth and rising confidence within the global Solana memecoin community. The liquidity surge could potentially see top-ranked tokens like Dogewifhat (WIF), BONK and Book of Meme (BOME) avoid volatile price downswings when market retreats. 

Market updates

“I’ve been leading the company for seven years. I enjoyed it. It’s a lot of work. But I think that chapter is that chapter. I don’t think I want to go back. I’m just a regular shareholder at this point”
