Wake-Up Call for Meme Coin Investors?
The meteoric rise and subsequent crash of the meme coin market have left even the most vocal proponents, including Murad, reeling.
This bearish sentiment extends beyond meme coins. The broader market, including Bitcoin (BTC), is experiencing a downturn.
Murad’s Portfolio Suffers Amid Meme Coin Crash
The self-proclaimed “Meme Coin Jesus,” Murad, saw his portfolio nosedive by over 82% in just two weeks. Once boasting a staggering $55 million in holdings, data on Arkham Intelligence shows his portfolio has shrunk to under $10 million.
“Imagine having generational wealth held in scam coins and continuing to hold to $0,” crypto analyst The Martini Guy quipped.
This represents a devastating $45 million loss, and the turnout highlights the risks of holding meme coins long-term.
This captures the sentiment of many traders swept up in the meme coin frenzy. While the market is warming to an expected bear market, meme coins are recording significant losses. Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Pepe (PEPE), and the Official Trump (TRUMP) coin, the meme coin top four, are down by around 7% as of this writing.
Meanwhile, data on CoinGecko shows Murad’s meme coin picks are on a steep value decline, down by almost 84% since the January peak of $4.8 billion.
Despite the brutal downturn, Murad remains confident in the market’s recovery, reassuring his followers on X (Twitter).
“The bounces will be glorious,” Murad chimed.
However, many are skeptical about a swift resurgence with the meme coin sector seeing a massive cooldown. This collapse comes as influencer-backed meme coins draw scrutiny.
Recent research revealed that over 76% of influencer-promoted tokens fail to deliver. Many of these tokens experience brief periods of hype-driven gains before eventually fading into obscurity, leaving investors with significant losses. The findings reinforce the dangers of following social media figures into speculative bets without proper due diligence.
Similarly, BeInCrypto recently reported that 97% of all meme coins fail, with only 15 out of 1.7 million achieving sustained success. The reasons are multifaceted, ranging from lack of utility to poor project management.
Amidst Murad’s losses, blockchain intelligence platform Arkham adds further pressure on crypto influencers and meme coin promoters. Recently, the platform launched a new tracking feature to monitor crypto influencers’ on-chain activities.
“Influencers with more than 100K+ followers on Twitter/X are now tagged on Arkham with a new label: Key Opinion Leader,” read the announcement.
The development could trouble high-profile figures who profit from hyping up low-quality tokens. With Arkham’s new tool, investors can scrutinize wallet movements and track whether influencers are holding or dumping the assets they promote. This could expose some influencers’ deceptive practices.
For now, however, Murad’s dramatic losses serve as a cautionary tale for traders who rely on meme coin speculation. Aligning with recent reports, this turnout suggests that market conditions are shifting toward more sustainable projects. Specifically, crypto investors are shifting focus from meme coins to altcoins with real-world value.

Based on historical data, July could be the next bullish month for the XRP price, which continues to consolidate amid this crypto market downtrend. Despite the market downturn, crypto analysts like CasiTrades are confident that the altcoin could still reach a new all-time high (ATH) in this market cycle.
Historical Data Points To July Being The Next Bullish Month For The XRP Price
Cryptorank data shows that July could be the next bullish month for the XRP price. This is based on the fact that the altcoin has recorded significant gains in each of the last five Julys.
Unlike July, April to June have been mixed for XRP over the last five years. For April, the last three out of five months have been bearish for the altcoin, although it recorded a 174% gain in April 2021.
For May, three out of the last five months have been bearish for the XRP price, although it recorded meagre gains in May 2023 and 2024. Meanwhile, June has been completely bearish for the altcoin, as it recorded monthly losses in the last five months.
It is worth mentioning that four out of the five monthly gains for XRP in July have been double-digit gains. As such, Ripple’s native crypto could again record double-digit gains this coming July.
Interestingly, crypto analyst Egrag Crypto predicted that XRP could reach double digits by its July 21 cycle peak. He alluded to the altcoin’s previous bull runs as to why July could mark this cycle’s peak. The analyst believes the Ripple price could reach $27 by then.
Analysts Argue XRP’s Consolidation Could End Soon
Amid this historical data, crypto analysts Dark Defender and CasiTrades have suggested that the XRP price consolidation could end soon. In an X post, Dark Defender stated that the altcoin’s consolidation is nearing an end and that he believes this is the final consolidation of the monthly structure.
Once this consolidation is done, the crypto analyst remarked that market participants can expect the Wave 5, which will send Ripple’s native crypto to new highs. He highlighted $2.22 and $2.30 as the major resistances to watch out for, while $1.88 and $1.63 are the major support levels. Meanwhile, the targets on this Wave 5 up are $3.75 and $5.85, which will mark a new ATH for the altcoin.
As CoinGape reported, crypto analyst CasiTrades also predicted that the XRP price could soon reach $6 as Wave 2 correction nears its end. The analyst also raised the possibility of the altcoin rallying to as high as $9.50 and $12 if it reaches the 2.618 and 3.618 Fibonacci extension levels, respectively.
However, there is still the possibility of the XRP price dropping below the $2 level before it rallies to new highs. Egrag Crypto warned that Ripple’s native crypto could still drop to as low as $1.4 in the event of a major liquidation.

The ETH price’s bearish sentiment since January 2025 has taken a toll on investor confidence, with Ethereum ETFs witnessing significant outflows. As ETH’s value continues to plummet, investors increasingly withdraw their funds. With Ethereum exchange-traded funds recording a massive $32 million in weekly outflows, analysts caution against a potential downtrend.
As Ethereum lingers below the $2,000 mark for weeks, market experts and traders are bracing for a potential further decline to $1,100. Let’s dive deeper into the reasons behind the significant outflows from Ethereum ETFs and its potential impact on ETH price.
Ethereum ETFs Record $32M Weekly Outflows: What’s Happening?
According to SoSoValue, Ethereum ETFs experienced increasing outflows over the past week, driven by the overarching negative market trend. Last week, the ETFs saw a total net outflow of $32.17 million, pushing the month’s outflows to $170.99 million.
In addition, the Ethereum exchange-traded funds experienced an unusual day of neutral flows yesterday, with neither net inflows nor outflows reported. Analyst Ali Martinez shed light on the increasing whale activity over the past week. According to his X post, ETH whales have offloaded 143,000 tokens last week.
Significantly, this negative sentiment could be attributed to the ETH price’s bearish trend which began in January. Ethereum, which stood high-headed above $3,500 at the onset of 2025, started plummeting to reach a severe low of $1,500 in April. This steady downtrend has caused a stir in the market, with traders showing less interest towards the altcoin.
Is ETH Price Poised for a Crash?
Growing pessimism surrounding Ethereum ETFs has led analysts to warn the community that ETH’s price may extend its downward trajectory. For instance, analyst Altcoin Gordon shared a bearish forecast for ETH price, predicting that the token would further drop to $1,100. However, as per CoinGape’s Ethereum price prediction, ETH could destabilize around a minimum of $1,588 in 2025.

As of press time, ETH is valued at $1,592, down by a marginal 0.20% in a day. Despite a 2.3% surge over the past seven days, ETH has seen a massive dip of 21% in a month. This negative vibe is also reflected on the traders’ sentiment, with the 24-hour trading volume decreasing by 23% to reach $10.5 billion.
Significantly, the Ethereum transaction fees’ recent crash to a five-year low has also contributed to the overall bearish sentiment.
Ethereum Bulls Remain Optimistic
Despite these bearish predictions and negative Ethereum ETF trend, bulls remain optimistic about the ETH price. Analysts like Crypto Rover and CryptoGoos shared their bullish outlooks on Ethereum, invoking investors’ enthusiasm.
According to CryptoGoos, ETH is expected to repeat history to surge beyond $2,800 in the near future. Meanwhile, market expert Crypto Rover projected the ETH price’s potential journey to an ambitious $10,000. However, it needs to be seen whether ETH can break through its current resistance levels and achieve these lofty targets.
