McDonald’s Instagram account seems to have been compromised in order to promote a Solana meme coin.
Earlier Wednesday, the McDonald’s account on the social media platform appeared to promote a Solana-based meme coin called GRIMACE. The token rapidly rose to a market capitalization of about $20 million before drastically following to below $1 million, according to Pump.fun data.
While the Instagram post promoting the token has been deleted, it appears in one post the GRIMACE meme coin was dubbed “a McDonald’s experiment on Solana.”
Simultaneously, the fast food giant’s Instagram profile page also appeared to have been compromised with someone writing “thank you for the $700,000 in Solana” following a mention of a rug pull.

Pump.fun, which launched in January, is a Solana-based meme coin generator that has facilitated the creation of <a href="https://dune.com/queries/3705945/6235708" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">over</a> 1.8 million meme coins.
Overall, the Solana-based memecoin market has experienced pronounced volatility in August. Last week, Solana set a new record for weekly outflows, according to CoinShares, which blamed the surge in outflows on a sharp decline in meme coin trading.
A couple of days ago, Pump.Fun’s cumulative revenue was on the verge of surpassing $100 million.
