Ethereum backdrop drags meme tokens

Ethereum’s trading activity has cooled sharply, pulling the whole meme‑coin ecosystem lower.

  • DEX volume $4.07B daily, down 27.62% week‑over‑week
  • ETH price down 15.56% in the last 7 days
  • Median Ethereum meme‑coin loss 12.49% over 7 days
  • Only 1 of 30 meme tokens is up

Frontier Grand Final fails to lift PEPE

The only fresh catalyst was the official @solana post on Nov 11 announcing the London Grand Final three days away, but it hasn’t generated buying pressure.

  • Announcement made 3 days before the event
  • Posted by @solana on X
  • No measurable price support followed

Liquidity stays robust despite sell‑off

PEPE’s market remains well‑funded, with healthy turnover and no thin‑liquidity flag.

  • 24h volume $596.35M
  • Turnover 31.9% of supply
  • Liquidity not thin

Team activity and crowd pressure

The project team is very active, while the crowd shows heightened stress signals.

  • Team posted 4 times in the last 7 days
  • 9 posts in the last 30 days
  • 1,549 mentions from 564 accounts in 7 days
  • Crowd pressure busy – liquidations vs OI high (+1.4σ)

Outlook and what to watch

Questions readers ask

Why is PEPE down more than the overall meme sector?

Ethereum’s 15.56% weekly drop and a 27.62% fall in DEX volume hit PEPE harder than the sector’s median 12.49% decline.

Does the Frontier Grand Final announcement help PEPE?

So far the announcement has not translated into buying pressure; PEPE remains down despite the hype.

Is PEPE’s liquidity at risk?

Liquidity remains healthy with $596.35M traded in 24 h and a turnover of 31.9%, and the token is not flagged as thin.

What could reverse the downtrend?

A bounce in ETH price, a recovery in DEX volume, or a strong community buying surge around the Frontier event could lift PEPE.
