TL;DR
Meme coin fragility can now be measured across three dimensions: Volatility Dynamics (VDS), Whale Dominance (WDS), and Sentiment Amplification (SAS). Peer-reviewed research from late 2025 applied this framework to major tokens and found a clear tiering: politically themed tokens like TRUMP, MELANIA, and LIBRA score highest on all three metrics — TRUMP's top 100 holders control 98%+ of supply. DOGE, SHIB, and PEPE sit in the middle. ETH and SOL anchor the resilient end. For copy traders, the framework reveals a critical blind spot: a wallet's returns on high-fragility tokens are structurally different from returns on cleaner tokens — and may not repeat.
