At one point, the valuation <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pippin-pippin-soars-20-daily-whats-next\/\">surged<\/a> to $0.76, whereas towards the end of last month it climbed to an all-time high of almost $0.90.<\/p>\n<p>PIPPIN\u2019s market capitalization briefly reached nearly $900 million, thus entering the elite club of the 100 biggest cryptocurrencies, but that success was short-lived. The beginning of March saw a substantial correction, which intensified after a 52% decline over the last 24 hours. In a matter of a single day, nearly $200 million of the asset\u2019s market cap was vaporized, and it now ranks as the 188th-largest digital asset.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1431785\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1431785\" style=\"width: 837px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PIPPIN-Price.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1431785 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PIPPIN-Price.png\" alt=\"PIPPIN Price\" width=\"837\" height=\"583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PIPPIN-Price.png 837w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PIPPIN-Price-300x209.png 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PIPPIN-Price-768x535.png 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PIPPIN-Price-90x63.png 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PIPPIN-Price-129x90.png 129w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PIPPIN-Price-800x557.png 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PIPPIN-Price-700x488.png 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PIPPIN-Price-600x418.png 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PIPPIN-Price-500x348.png 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PIPPIN-Price-400x279.png 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PIPPIN-Price-200x139.png 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PIPPIN-Price-100x70.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 837px) 100vw, 837px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1431785\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PIPPIN Price, Source: CoinGecko<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The most evident reason for the crash appears to be the selling spree initiated by certain investors. Some X users\u00a0<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/how2onchain\/status\/2033618703729021383\">reported<\/a> that the same wallets that accumulated PIPPIN last week\u00a0<\/span>recently dumped their holdings en masse.<\/p>\n<p>The meme coin has been the subject of criticism from many market observers, even during its bull run. Last month, X user Dippy.eth <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/this-trending-meme-coin-explodes-by-100-weekly-what-comes-next\/\">described<\/a> it as \u201cthe largest scam of the past year,\u201d while others think the whole project is \u201ca cabal play,\u201d in which a coordinated group of insiders is believed to manipulate the price through their actions. Most recently, Crypto Analyst <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoA40672341\/status\/2033625524195488158\">joined<\/a> the club of critics, classifying PIPPIN as a \u201cscam coin\u201d that \u201crugged people.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>How About a Revival?<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the overwhelming opinion among industry participants that PIPPIN is a red flag for traders and investors, some remain bullish on the asset. X user Nehal, for instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/nehalzzzz1\/status\/2033458262230855867\">envisioned<\/a> heightened volatility ahead and eventual price increase to a new ATH of $1.<\/p>\n<p>The asset\u2019s Relative Strength Index (RSI) supports the rebound theory. The indicator measures the speed and magnitude of recent price movements, helping traders identify potential reversal points. It runs from 0 to 100, and ratios below 30 are considered bullish territory that could precede a resurgence. On the contrary, readings beyond 70 signal that a pullback might be on the way. Currently, PIPPIN\u2019s RSI stands at around 24.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/trending-meme-coin-pippin-collapses-by-50-classic-rug-pull-or-buying-opportunity\/\">Trending Meme Coin PIPPIN Collapses by 50%: Classic Rug Pull or Buying Opportunity?<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The meme coin PIPPIN, which was among crypto\u2019s rock stars not long ago due to its staggering price increase, has crashed by approximately 50% over the past day alone.
