Memecoins posted the highest median return among the listed crypto categories at +25% over the past week. Currency ranked second at +22%, followed by Blockchain at +16%, DePIN at +14% and Infrastructure at +13%.
Why it matters
All eight listed categories recorded double-digit median gains, so the strength extended beyond the top meme category. DeFi returned +12.5%, while NFT and Exchange recorded +12.3% and +12.2%, respectively.
Market impact
Memecoins led Currency by 3 percentage points, while the three lowest-ranked categories sat within a 0.3 percentage-point range. These are category medians, so the table compares relative sector performance rather than showing identical returns for every asset.
