One person — or entity — controls 31% of all WAR tokens in circulation. That single fact sits quietly in the background as the Solana-based memecoin grabs headlines for one of the more dramatic two-day price swings in the current crypto cycle. The coin doubled on Friday. Today, nearly a quarter of those gains had been erased. Related Reading: Stablecoin Market Breaks Records — USDC Controls 70% Of $1.8 Trillion Volume On Unrest & Geopolitical Events WAR, which stands for Western Asset Reserve, bills itself as a geopolitical sentiment token — a coin whose price is meant to move with world events, particularly armed conflicts. It does not track war through any technical mechanism. The connection is purely narrative. When headlines about global tensions spread, traders buy in. When attention moves elsewhere, prices follow. According to data from CoinMarketCap, WAR fell from an intraday peak above $0.60 to around $0.028 during the selloff, Monday. Trading volume dropped roughly 20% over the same 24-hour window to approximately $22 million, with its total market cap sitting near $28 million. Token Migration Brought In Fresh Traders And Fresh Money Before the surge, WAR completed a platform move. The project shifted from Bonk.fun to Pump.fun, a more widely used launchpad on the Solana network. The team announced the migration window would stay open for seven days, after which a new contract would be deployed on Pump.fun. Token holders who missed the window would face a 10% tax on late claims, with a 90-day window to complete them. The move expanded WAR’s reach. On the day of the migration, trading volume climbed above $24 million as more retail participants gained access through Pump.fun’s broader toolset. Reports indicate the platform switch played a role in drawing fresh attention to the token ahead of its price spike. WAR launched earlier this year on Bonk.fun. Unlike memecoins built around animal mascots or celebrity names, it leaned into real-world conflict as its identity. Over roughly three months, its price rose 650% on the back of media attention and trader speculation. WAR Follows A Pattern Familiar To PolitiFi Token Watchers WAR is part of a group of tokens known as PolitiFi, which refers to tokens that are based on politics or international events, as opposed to technology. Other tokens in this group include TRUMP, MELANIA, LIBRA, among others.

From reports, it is evident that there is a plan in place by the development team for governance, as well as merchandise, though these plans are yet to be implemented. The liquidity of the token is mainly found in Solana-based exchanges, contributing to the volatility in its price over the last two days. With one individual owning nearly one-third of the supply, it is likely that the next move of the token will be determined by events in the world tomorrow, as opposed to events in the world of cryptocurrency.

As the market bleeds red and most altcoins lose crucial levels, some have suggested that investors must reshape their expectations of the crypto market this cycle and the long-awaited “alt season.” Related Reading: BitMine’s Unrealized Losses Hit $3.7B As Ethereum (ETH) Price Struggles Below $3,000 Old Crypto Cycle Is Gone – Analyst Over the past month, the crypto market has wiped out over $1 trillion in market capitalization due to a series of large-scale liquidations and strong selling pressure since the October 10 pullback, which has sunk investors’ sentiment to its lowest levels in months. Amid this performance, the early Q4 rally buzz has faded, and most altcoins have lost the ground gained during the Q3 market breakout. Market observers have shared their outlook on how the crypto market has changed and what to expect in the future. In October, Nic Carter, crypto investor and partner at Castle Island Ventures, weighed in on the shift in retail sentiment regarding most altcoins. As reported by NewsBTC, he affirmed that the bearish sentiment means the space has matured significantly. Carter explained that crypto is “boring” now because most of the uncertainties that drove much of the historical volatility have been resolved, adding that the industry has also largely derisked as a technological substrate. The investor considers that “crypto natives no longer control the narrative, there’s more serious businesses (which don’t require tokens), there’s less chaos, the whole space has matured significantly.” In a Friday thread on X, the Altcoin Sherpa also discussed the market changes, affirming that the “old cycles” have been “dead” for a while. As he explained, the previous cycles consisted of an euphoric phase, a corrective phase, and an accumulation phase before the start of a recovery phase. He highlighted the performance of Altcoins like Solana (SOL) between 2020 and 2024, noting that “this market environment is gone.” Instead, the analyst believes that the market is in a “hyper-accelerated regime.” Altcoins In A ‘Hyper-Accelerated Regime’ Under this new regime, the market experiences short-term uptrends followed by mid-term downtrends, similar to the price action of altcoins like BONK since late 2023, Altcoin Sherpa added: We have 1-3 months of pump followed by 2-6 months of downtrend and rinse repeat. There is no more euphoria where things go berserk for an entire year. Just 1-3 months and then down. Look how many cycles BONK had in a year or 2. The analyst suggested that investors should not expect 2021 conditions for most altcoins or a traditional “Alt Season,” where most tokens experience massive gains at once. He advised to capitalize when the “good times” arrive and be aware that “price can still die in 3 months.” “Reframe your brain in how you think about alt pumps and ‘alt season’. Coins will still downtrend, just not in a slow bleed. More [of] an accelerated destruction + carnage, Altcoin Sherpa detailed. Related Reading: This Altcoin Soars 20% In One Day Following Major Saudi Arabia Partnership He also noted that, unlike previous cycles, altcoins will also recover “a bit quicker than before,” and won’t take over a year to bottom and accumulate before a new leg up begins again. However, Sherpa affirmed that the lack of an accumulation phase will mean that “the overall coins will NOT have as strong of pumps like they used to,” as that period is what makes the rallies strong. “We aren’t seeing anything close to that anymore,” he concluded.

Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko is facing backlash from the crypto community over his comments about meme coins and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Yakovenko made these remarks against these tokens despite his network being home to most of the top meme coins by market capitalization. Crypto Community Reacts To Solana Founder’s Comments The crypto community criticized Anatoly Yakovenko following his X post, in which he described meme coins and NFTs as “digital slop” and ones that have no intrinsic value. The Solana founder added that, like a mobile game loot box, people spend $150 billion a year on mobile gaming, in reference to his ideology about meme coins and NFTs. Related Reading: These Two Bearish Scenarios Put Solana Price At $162 After Fakeout Crypto marketer Anastasiia Bobeshko described the Solana founder’s comments as being funny, considering the traction that memes have brought into the Solana ecosystem. She further noted that the network made $1.6 billion in the first half of 2025 thanks to these meme coins. Another member of the crypto community, Ethereum developer Hanniabu, had earlier echoed a similar sentiment, suggesting that the network would be nothing without meme coins. Null, a member of the BONK community, declared that the Solana network would have never been where it is today without meme coins. Yakavenko replied sarcastically, saying, “Absolutely. Without lootboxes, iOS would have negligible revenues for Apple.” Meanwhile, Crypto community member Art Chick asked the Solana founder if he had a problem with memecoin traders spending $150 billion a year on his chain, but they don’t see it as mobile gaming. Yakovenko responded and alluded to an earlier reply in which he explained that what is important is the need to monitor data, fix problems, use snipers, and work towards sandwich-resistant market implementations. Difference Between Solana and Base Meme Coins It is worth noting that the Solana founder’s comment about meme coins stemmed from when he criticized a comment from Base’s lead developer Jesse Pollak, who suggested that Zora meme coins (which are Base tokens) are more valuable than those from Solana’s Pump.fun. In response, Yakovenko asked Pollak if Zora coins have any claims on future cash flows from creators, something which Pump.fun has. Related Reading: Top Meme Coins Stealing The Spotlight As Bitcoin Price Hits $118,000 ATH Pollak then clarified that each coin’s value depends on their fundamentals, which is why he believes that not all meme coins are the same. However, the Solana founder doesn’t believe meme coins as a whole have any “intrinsic value.” Despite his comment, these meme coins, especially the top ones like Fartcoin, BONK, PENGU, and TRUMP, continue to contribute to a significant amount of the daily trading volume on the network. Notably, the Solana price surged to a new all-time high (ATH) of $294 in January, around the time the TRUMP meme coin first launched. SOL witnessed a significant surge in its demand at the time, with investors requiring the altcoin to purchase the meme coin. At the time of writing, the Solana price is trading at around $183, down over 5% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Solana meme coin launchpad Pump.fun has lost a significant chunk of its market share to LetsBonk.fun. This comes just ahead of the former’s token generation event, in which the launchpad could raise up to $4 billion. Solana’s Pump.fun Loses Dominance To LetsBonk.fun In an X post, Solana News revealed that Pump.fun has hit a new all-time low with just a 36% market share, while LetsBonk.fun’s market share has surged to 54%. Jup data also confirms this development. At press time, LetsBonk boasts a market share of 48.90%, with a 24-hour trading volume of $539 million. On the other hand, Pump boasts a market share of 39.80%, with a 24-hour trading volume of $438 million. Related Reading: Analyst Says Buying This Meme Coin Is A 3X Leveraged Play If Solana ETFs Go Live This development comes amid Pump.fun’s proposed public token sale, scheduled for July 12. Well-known Solana influencer Lynk has described this token sale as the “final scam” for the meme coin launchpad. The platform has been under heavy criticism for the amount of money that it has extracted from the Solana ecosystem, without incentivizing community members in any way. Some community members had expected Pump.fun to airdrop its token to rewards platform users instead of conducting a public token sale. Lynk shared details of the public sale, with the meme coin launchpad planning to sell the ‘PUMP’ tokens $0.004 each. The token boasts a total supply of 1 trillion, meaning a fully diluted value (FDV) of $4 billion. However, Pump.fun plans to raise around $600 million from the public token sale, as only $150 billion tokens will be available. The meme coin launchpad is expected to also conduct a private sale in order to complete its $1 billion capital raise effort, as earlier reported. LetsBonk.fun To Keep Dominating Pump.fun In an X post, crypto influencer Unipcs, also known as ‘Bonk Guy,’ opined that Pump.fun isn’t done, but that LetsBonk.fun will likely continue to be the industry leader. He predicts that this will be the case for the foreseeable future. He outlined several reasons why he believes this would be the case. Related Reading: Solana Picture Bigger Than $420: Analyst Predicts 140% Surge To New ATHs Firstly, he stated that LetsBonk’s pro-creator, pro-people, pro-Solana ecosystem alignment is a massive strength over Pump.fun. Secondly, Bonk Guy remarked that the strong culture of support within the BONK ecosystem is incredibly hard to replicate by any other platform in a short period. Furthermore, the crypto influencer remarked that Pump.fun had a lot of momentum as a tokenless protocol, especially with a token generation event (TGE). However, LetsBonk.fun was able to flip the platform during this period. As such, Bonk Guy believes that it is hard to see Pump.fun sustainably recover the kind of market share it once had after the TGE event. He also suggested that a “non-negligible amount of activity on Pump.fun is inorganic with a lot os users farming on the platform, hoping that there was going to be an airdrop. As such, the influencer believes that the traffic will dry up once the TGE is over. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

As the crypto market looks toward a recovery and the likes of Solana make their way out of losses, a crypto trader has called out one meme coin that could be a great play as the SOL price recovers. The BONK meme coin, currently the largest meme coin in the Solana ecosystem and billed for triggering the revival of the blockchain, continues to receive a lot of support as a meme coin that could outperform as the market ushers in the next altcoin season. Solana’s BONK Meme Coin Is The Play Crypto analyst and trader Unipcs became popular in crypto circles on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) after turning $16,000 into more than $10 million with a long BONK trade. Despite making what many have referred to as a life-changing trade, the trader has refused to close this trade, with the expectation that the meme coin will continue to rise. Related Reading: TD Sequential Flashes Buy: Dogecoin Ready For Rebound To $0.21 In a recent post, Unipcs has once again reiterated his support for the BONK meme coin and why he believes it’s a great play to be involved in. The post mainly points to bullish developments surrounding the Solana ecosystem and why BONK could be a way to maximize gains as the Solana price rallies. The first bullish development the crypto analyst points to is the fact that a Solana ETF is expected to hit the market soon. When this happens, the Solana price is expected to recover in response, possibly rising toward new all-time highs, something that would translate into more bullishness for meme coins domiciled on the blockchain. As for BONK, Unipcs explained that the meme coin acts as a 3X leveraged bet on the Solana price. This is because historically, the BONK price has often risen 3X higher than any gains that Solana puts in. Its highly volatile nature as a meme coin also contributes to this, as it is prone to rapid bursts of rising prices, the same way it is prone to quick crashes. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price At $110,000: Why BTC Must Break Out Of This Wedge Furthermore, the expectations of a Solana ETF being approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are not the only thing propelling the bullishness of BONK. BONK, itself, also has a pending ETF filing with the commission, and the approval of a Solana ETF increases the likelihood of a BONK ETF approval, giving the meme coin even more fuel to rally. Given these bullish factors, the crypto analyst believes that being in BONK could be a good play, especially as the price remains 75% below its all-time high. “Ff we do get Solana season soon, you do not want to be underexposed to BONK,” Unipcs said in closing.
