The memecoin sector, known for high volatility and rapidly changing sentiment, felt a decisive move by smart money wallets on April 25, 2025.
On-chain data indicates sell-side action was predominant that day, with outflows heavily outweighing inflows across most of the tokens we track.
While a few tokens continue to attract capital, the overall trend seems to show a much more cautious (and possibly bearish) stance from experienced traders. Anyway, the most recent numbers indicate total smart money inflows of $3.61 million against outflows of $12.12 million. That’s a net volume of negative $8.51 million, which reflects a significant sentiment shift and could herald broader corrections or rotations within the memecoin space.

Major Outflows Signal Cautious Sentiment
The selling pressure targeted several prominent memecoins. The leading outflows included the infamous and much-hyped #FARTCOIN, which saw an astonishing $7.83 million in smart money moves to the exits. This mass exodus suggests that early backers or insiders are taking profits after a lengthy rally or, with hazy confidence in the project’s long-term viability, are moving on to greener pastures. Following #FARTCOIN down the memecoin money drain, political token $TRUMP saw a smart money slowdown to the tune of $2.29 million. The smart cash looks to be pulling out of politically themed tokens as we move further away from the last round of election hype.
Other notable outflows in our memecoin lead sector included $NOBODY with $241,000, $POPCAT with $202,000, and $ORACLER with $56,000—outflows, we should note, that are hardly the stuff of short-term trading opportunity.
Select Tokens Still Attract Smart Capital
Even though the predominant capital flow has been out of the market, a few memecoins have actually managed to attract new investment—and so these coins, albeit posthumously, give us some insight into where smart money is now putting its focus.
Leading the way was $BONK, which pulled in a cool $334,000, presumably riding off of its relative maturity and well-ensconced position in the Solana ecosystem. Defined by its established community and liquid marketplace, I’d say $BONK has a resilience that some of these new-fangled memecoins might not quite possess. Then we have $HOUSE, the apparent new star that recently broke into the top tier of the Pumpfun coins, which saw $278,000 in inflows. This wasn’t a one-off; $HOUSE is pulling pretty consistent inflows.
A Market at a Crossroads
The positive net outflow of more than $8 million is a clear confirmation that smart money is repositioning. While some tokens are being given the heave-ho, others are quietly finding favor. This is exactly the sort of divergence that many a market analyst has been waiting for, because it implies that capital is being allocated more strategically rather than just being poured into the sort of hype-driven projects that have in the past not really led anywhere except into the heads of funnel that went into paying for those projects’ filing fees when they made their inevitable comebacks as too-good-to-miss investments.
Of course, we should be cautious. The memecoin market is still very much a “highly volatile” beast. But this is something we should be paying close attention to. Focus on what’s different, and why. And then use that insight in backing tokens that are technically sound.
