Crypto in ‘gamble mindset’ as memecoin mentions hit YTD high: Santiment

Online discussions about memecoins have hit a year-to-date high, gaining considerable attention after sentiment cooled earlier in the year, according to onchain analytics platform Santiment. Two weeks ago, discussions around Bitcoin ( BTC ) and layer-1 protocols peaked during the market volatility brought on by the Trump administration’s sweeping tariffs. However, that’s since shifted to high market cap memecoins, Santiment marketing director Brian Quinlivan said in a May 1 blog post. “Online discussions about these high-risk tokens have proliferated as traders embrace a gamble mindset, rather than a calculated investment approach,” he said. “This is a telltale sign that traders are increasingly investing based solely on speculation and short-term gains,” Quinlivan added. Online discussions about memecoins have hit a 2025 high, surpassing discussions about Bitcoin.

Dogecoin discussions spike on ETF news In particular, Dogecoin ( DOGE ) has seen a notable spike in positive crowd sentiment after a major decline in crowd interest during April, as various applications for DOGE exchange-traded funds were filed in the US. Despite the Securities and Exchange Commission delaying its decision on these filings until mid-June , Quinlivan says traders are in a state of cautious anticipation. “Until late April, DOGE had been on a major decline in terms of crowd interest. But its social dominance has spiked to its highest level in nearly three months, as the conversations and filings surrounding Nasdaq’s ETF listings have risen,” he said.

Memecoin activity exploded after the launch of US President Donald Trump’s memecoin on Jan. 18, with Pump.fun usage recording a high of $3.3 billion in weekly trading volume. However, traders soon cooled on memecoins. CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong said in a March 6 report that memecoin investor interest dropped after a series of bad launches, noting the fallout from the Libra (LIBRA) token launch in February as a significant catalyst.
