[ SLANG ][ CRYPTO ][ NOUN ]
A prolonged downturn in meme coin trading activity and speculative interest, attributed specifically to institutional capital flowing toward regulated crypto products instead of retail-driven meme coin speculation.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Volume's been dead for weeks, this is a real institutional meme winter, all the attention moved to the regulated products."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named directly by crypto market analysts describing this specific downturn pattern, distinguishing it from ordinary bear markets by attributing the retail-attention drain specifically to institutional capital rotation rather than general risk-off sentiment.
