The FOMOEgg egg in the studio, illustrating: What happens to a dead memecoin?
Short answer

It stays on-chain and often stays tradable, but volume and liquidity thin out until it is hard to sell.

How to check it yourself

  1. Check the last trade date and daily volume on a DEX tracker.
  2. See how much liquidity is left in the pool. Very little means selling is hard.
  3. Look at the holders list to see whether the creator wallet still holds or has left.
