Dead coin

Also written or said as: dead, dead chart, died, dead project

A coin nobody trades any more.

Volume drops to almost nothing, the chart goes flat and the socials stop posting. This is how almost every memecoin ends, and fast: one count found 79% of pump.fun coins never traded again after their launch day. You can usually still sell a dead coin, but with so little liquidity, even a small sell pushes the price down hard.

This guide is for learning. It is not financial advice. Most memecoins go to zero and most people who trade them lose money. Only ever trade what you can afford to lose.
