#Solana Co-Founder Shares Views on #MemeCoins and #NFTs During Community Debate


Anatoly Yakovenko sparked discussion by comparing meme coins to loot boxes in mobile gaming during a recent social media exchange.


The $SOL co-founder expressed his perspective that meme coins and NFTs lack intrinsic value while in debate with Base creator Jesse Pollak.


Yakovenko acknowledged #Solana's growth has been significantly supported by meme coin activity on the network.


His comments generated varied responses from community members across different viewpoints on token utility.


#Memecoins generated 62% of Solana's decentralized app revenue in June, reaching an all-time high contribution.


The network earned $1.6 billion in revenue during the first half of 2025, primarily driven by meme coin trading.


  Pump.fun and PumpSwap remain major revenue sources alongside emerging competitor LetsBonk.
