Solana

Memecoin

In June this year, the Solana blockchain emerged as a hub for people who liked joke currencies. It was a busy month for everyone. The ecosystem now has 30 celebrity-themed tokens that reflect famous people from different fields, such as social media influencers, singers, and reality TV stars. 
Even though these launches got a lot of attention, they didn’t live up to the hype; soon after they came out, the prices of a number of tokens dropped significantly. 
<h2 id="strong-are-solana-meme-coins-dead-strong">Are Solana Meme Coins Dead?</h2> 
Solana network statistics indicated that celebrity-backed <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/meme-coin-6750312" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">meme coins</a> dropped 94% in their first month. Around 50% of these tokens lost 99% of their value from their peak prices. This shows how speculative meme currencies are, especially ones that rely on celebrity supporters for investment.

 30 celebrity coins launched on Solana last month. 
 Here’s where they are now:

Though <a href="https://www.kucoin.com/learn/crypto/top-solana-memecoins-to-watch" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">celebrity-backed tokens</a> perform poorly, the Solana ecosystem is still flourishing as various community-driven initiatives are attracting meme coin aficionados. Thanks to its interesting idea and active community events, one such project, Sealana, has become somewhat famous among the new releases. Popular for its presale success, the token has attracted almost $150,000 soon after release. 
Base Dawgz is another meme money project that has garnered attention. This multi-chain meme coin offers staking payouts and a share-to-earn mechanism, appealing to meme currency enthusiasts looking for new ways to participate.

Not only are fresh ideas driving the explosion of meme coin activity on Solana. Popular established tokens like Dogwifhat and Bonk show the possibility for large gains inside the ecosystem. Investors should, however, use caution while navigating these prospects as meme coins still carry significant inherent risk. 
<h2 id="strong-more-tokens-strong">More Tokens</h2> 
Solana has been making more and more tokens, even though there was a bit of a drop in June. In May, they gave out over half a million tokens. This shows how easy it is to add new tokens to the Solana network, especially since more people are getting interested in meme coins. 
For meme coin advocates, especially those who want to trade without paying significant fees, the cheap transaction prices and quick processing times provided by the network have made it an appealing alternative.

Meanwhile, data revealed a network of insider wallets under control of significant supply quantities, according to Bubblemaps. Inside might be anybody from team members and engineers working on the product to celebrities themselves. Anybody behind the scenes having past knowledge of the launch is an insider. 
For tokens introduced in June, insiders held anything from 20% to 90% of celebrity meme coin supply, Bubblemaps observed. Insiders most benefited from these celebrity debuts and probably sold for expensive rates.
