Peter Brandt predicts meme coins could disappear forever
Brandt’s critique highlights the broader issue of speculative investments
Veteran market analyst Peter Brandt has issued a warning to investors, suggesting that meme coins could vanish entirely during the next market crash.
Having witnessed the volatile cycles of financial markets for over five decades, Brandt expressed concerns about the risks associated with speculative digital assets.
Brandt warnings
Peter Brandt cautioned that many investors are likely to be over-leveraged, and when the next significant market correction hits—potentially a 50% drop in Bitcoin (BTC) and a 90% plunge in altcoins—meme coins could be the hardest hit, with some going to zero.
Brandt's warning underscores the precarious nature of meme coins, which have gained popularity largely due to hype and celebrity endorsements rather than fundamental value. According to Brandt, these coins are particularly vulnerable during market downturns and could face severe price corrections, or even complete collapse.

Despite his concerns about meme coins, Brandt remains bullish on Bitcoin, seeing it as the only digital asset with a proven track record. He views Bitcoin as a long-term investment, unlike many altcoins and meme coins that are susceptible to speculative bubbles.
The growing risk of meme coins
Brandt’s critique highlights the broader issue of speculative investments in the cryptocurrency market, particularly with meme coins. These assets, which often lack the technological or financial backing of more established cryptocurrencies, are more prone to volatile swings. While some investors may profit from these market movements, Brandt believes that the majority will be caught off guard by inevitable corrections.
Recent market trends have shown increasing interest in meme coins, especially with figures like Elon Musk continuing to endorse Dogecoin. However, Brandt’s warning serves as a reminder that these coins are often driven by social media and fleeting trends rather than inherent value, making them highly susceptible to market cycles.
The crypto market is poised for significant shifts as more regulation and institutional involvement shape its future.
While Bitcoin remains a more stable investment, the fate of meme coins like Dogecoin will largely depend on market sentiment and external factors, such as celebrity influence and investor behavior. As Brandt suggests, those overly reliant on speculative assets may find themselves facing significant losses when the next crash occurs.
