Smart Money Flows Back Into Memecoins as Net Inflows Turn Positive

On April 9, 2025, on-chain data shows a sharp increase in smart money entering the memecoin sector, with net inflows positive across the entire space. The capital markets, as a whole, aren’t exactly doing well—with most crypto assets in the red. However, when it comes to memecoins, this seems to be an area where some investors are regaining confidence. As per analytics from blockchain, inflow amounts to $5.26 million, while outflow amounts to $3.78 million. The net volume is $1.48 million, which is a positive sign and seems to indicate that the overall sentiment is bullish. The trading volume is $9.04 million, which also seems to be a positive sign and indicates that the querulous level of activity is still very much alive. Spotlight on Key Movers: Inflows Lead the Way Some of the tokens that saw most significant inflows from smart money involved a mixture of established digital assets and viral memecoins. This indicates a bifurcated strategy among experienced investors—one in which they express a preference for both liquidity and high-risk, high-reward plays. Wrapped Bitcoin ($WBTC) was at the head of the inflow pack with net purchases of $469,000. Although it isn’t a traditional memecoin, its presence in the data suggests smart traders either hedging or rebalancing their exposure as they start to invest in the market again. WBTC’s presence is especially interesting because it shows that, when positioning around memecoins, traders are pairing that with safer, blue-chip collateral. Next is RFC, which raised $505,000. Although it is not as much in the spotlight as some other viral coins, RFC seems to be getting some traction and maybe even some attention from whales and experienced DeFi players for whom the coin is an asymmetric bet. TITCOIN—an extremely controversial but very popular memecoin—received $249,000 of inflows. This niche following for TITCOIN is really hard to explain. Its relentless meme-driven marketing and the highly active community around it are almost its only defining features. That said, these two areas have led to a rather remarkable rise in the price of TITCOIN. POPCAT was another unexpected line item; it showed up on both sides of the ledger — $147,000 coming in and $196,000 going out, for a net outflow of $49,000. The mixed behavior around POPCAT reflects divided sentiment: Some traders seem to be taking profits after a recent run-up, while others continue to accumulate, perhaps in anticipation of a community-driven push or rebound. LUCE, a relatively obscure memecoin, garnered $108,000 in investments. While this amount may appear trifling next to the investments found in major cryptocurrencies, LUCE’s incoming capital is noteworthy, indeed, for what it could signal: the early stages of accumulating this asset. In the world of memecoins, where even the smallest projects can gain significant traction because of internet virality, this accumulation pattern is a sign that people in the know are betting on LUCE. Profit-Taking and Rotations: Outflows Tell Their Own Story Although the general market flow was positive, some tokens experienced significant capital outflows. This appears to be either profit-taking or a shift in sentiment toward those tokens. FARTCOIN took the lead on the outflow side, with $256,000 exiting the protocol. Its slapstick branding and momentary viral appeal aside, FARTCOIN has been unable to maintain the excitement it generated in its initial hype cycle. This recent outflow, however, may be more indicative of FARTCOIN’s holders rebalancing into other, newer plays or perhaps just a signal that market enthusiasm is cooling and that we’re all more responsible with our coins than we were a few months ago. Recap: Smart money on chain activities in the memecoin market for 09/04/25 Yesterday, there was more inflow than outflow Inflow: $5.26M Outflow: $3.78M Volume: $9.04M Net Volume: $1.48M There was inflow into: $WBTC ($469K) #TITCOIN ($249K) $RFC ($505K) $POPCAT ($147K) $LUCE … pic.twitter.com/aZJNyXziID — Stalkchain (@StalkHQ) April 10, 2025 As noted earlier, POPCAT also experienced outflows of about $196,000, which was almost a match for its inflows. These two activities point to trading rather than holding in these tokens with a high degree of conviction. On the other side of the picture, GIGA, GOAT, MPLX, and USDS all saw outflows in the moderate five- and six-figure range. These outflows may signify either a loss of confidence or a shift toward tokens with more solid short-term upside potential, especially in a sector where sentiment and virality drive more than fundamentals. Outlook: Smart Money Paints a Cautiously Optimistic Picture In conclusion, April 9 was a relatively positive day for the memecoin market. It had inflows of $1.48 million and some movement in our interest across select assets; the data suggests traders are becoming more comfortable re-entering the space, though it appears they are still being selective. As is always the case with memecoins, their prices and the sentiments around them can change suddenly and severely. However, if today’s trends hold, they could signal the start of yet another wave of capital rotation into the most meme-able parts of the crypto world.
