Investor sentiment in the memecoin market shifted on March 13, 2025, as the smart money showed a net outflow of capital.
This cautious approach of our major investors was further indicated by the inflows into only a few select memecoins. The overall trend here was definitely an outflow, which pointed towards an increasing appetite for something else outside of the memecoin space. Was it a movement back into Bitcoin? Was it major investors looking to route capital around into phase 2 of the next bull run? Whatever the reason, the nominal shift definitely took some wind out of the sails of the memecoin market.

A Detailed Look at the Flow of Funds
The memecoin market saw a total trading volume of $3.75 million on March 13, 2025, but this market experienced a very substantial net outflow of $1.8 million. And what was driving this outflow? Well, there was an outflow of $2.8 million and an inflow of just $958.1K. These figures suggest that the overall inclination of investors around that time was decidedly toward selling or trimming the memecoins they were holding.
Although the overall trend is negative, some memecoins did see significant inflows, indicating that parts of the market are still attractive to investors. The memecoins attracting the most attention included $UFD, $SNAI, $PWEASE, #GRIFFAIN, and $BMT. Each of these tokens saw inflows in the range of $30,000 to $63,000, which suggests that some investors are making bets that these particular assets are either long-term plays or short-term trading opportunities.
Memecoins Seeing Inflows: Speculative Moves and Hopes for Quick Returns
The inflows were focused predominantly on just a few of the tokens that seem to have galvanized the memecoin community. For instance, $UFD saw inflows of $39.1K, while $SNAI was not far behind with $30.2K. Another clear standout was $PWEASE, the popular memecoin associated with U.S. Vice President JD Vance, which attracted a notable $63.3K in inflows—clearly riding the wave of a recent price uptick. Overall, the pretty clear takeaway here is that inflows are coming to the market and, at least for now, seem largely to be pumping up a handful of tokens that have found favor among the memecoin community.

#GRIFFAIN and $BMT also saw some inflows, with $50.9K and $48.2K entering their respective markets. These tokens, while not as widely recognized as others in the memecoin space, appear to be gaining some attention from smart money, likely due to either their novelty or the speculative opportunities they present in the current market environment. This suggests that a subset of investors is willing to bet on the success of lesser-known memecoins in the hopes of achieving quick profits.
Memecoins Seeing Outflows: Caution and Profit-Taking
In contrast, there were many larger, more established memecoins that saw significant outflows. The largest outflow was associated with $FARTCOIN, which lost $1.4 million, indicating that investors were taking profits or battening down the hatches in anticipation of a possible market downturn. Other tokens that experienced net outflows included $ARC, with $227.3K bailing, and $FAT, which saw $57.9K leave its coffers.
In the meantime, the infamous memecoins GIGA and WBTC had outflows too, but theirs was the smallest of the bunch at $53.8K and $187.4K. Still, these outflows from even more prominent memecoins suggest a more risk-averse attitude among investors, who might be worried about the sustainability of current price levels.
The Bigger Picture: A Market in Flux
The ner… and volatility; smart money flows are pointing to a more cautious outlook. Some tokens are still seeing investment, but the overall trend is toward outflows—indicating that some investors are either taking profits or pulling back on risk exposure. That is the kind of behavior you expect from a speculative market highly sensitive to short-term price movements.
Over the next few weeks, we can expect the memecoin sector’s individual tokens to largely track overall market sentiment. If you think the meme token economy might be heading for a tropical paradise of community engagement and ongoing project hype, it’s still far from a certainty. Cryptos in the memecoin sector are well-known for their volatility. Even tokens that seem to be riding the meme wave well aren’t safe from sharp market corrections.
As we progress further into 2025, it will be intriguing to observe whether this outflow trend persists or the market swings back to a more optimistic outlook, with cash again flowing into the memecoin domain. For the moment, the prevailing sentiment among investors who are almost surely of the “smart money” variety seems to favor sitting on the sidelines, with these individuals taking a “wait and see” stance on how the market develops in the near future.
