Solana (SOL) has recorded a significant rally over the past week, reclaiming the $160 area and attempting to hold its last major resistance. Some analysts suggest that if bullish momentum continues, the altcoin will run to new highs once this level is recovered. Related Reading: 2025 Crypto Thefts Spike: Stolen Funds Hit $2.7 Billion In H1– Report Solana Attempts $180 Reclaim As the crypto market capitalization nears the $4 trillion mark and Bitcoin (BTC) makes new all-time highs (ATHs), Solana, one of the leading altcoins of this cycle, is retesting crucial levels after climbing nearly 10% over the past week. The cryptocurrency has been compressing between two key levels since the Q2 recovery, trading between the $140-$180 mark for over two months. However, last month’s geopolitical tensions saw SOL briefly lose its local range and retest the $120-$130 area. Amid the July rally, Solana has reclaimed its local range, climbing to the upper boundary and attempting to break above key $180 resistance. Analyst Crypto Jelle noted that, just like Ethereum’s (ETH) $4,000 barrier, this area is the “final major level for bears to defend.” This has been a key level during this cycle, serving as a major bounce area during the Q4 2024 and early 2025 rally. Additionally, it became the most crucial resistance after losing this area in late February, with multiple failed attempts to reclaim it over the past months. Reclaiming this level could propel the token to the $200 mark and set the stage for a continuation to higher levels, the analyst affirmed. Meanwhile, market watcher Froggy highlighted that Solana retested this key zone on Friday, “signaling strong bullish intent.” Nonetheless, the altcoin fell below this level after hitting its two-month high of $184, trading within the $177-179 price range for the past several hours. To the analyst, “as long as $168 holds, a move toward $186–$188 remains likely.” SOL Preparing For Price Discovery? According to Daan Crypto Trades, if SOL breaks above and holds the crucial level, the next area of interest would be around the $220 mark, followed by the $260 barrier. The trader explained that SOL reclaimed the Daily 200 Moving Average (MA) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) earlier this week, which led to the ongoing retest of the $180 area. He also noted that memecoins are “running well” as SOL-based tokens in the sector have seen a 13.3% weekly increase, according to CoinGecko data. “That generally puts some bid behind SOL,” Daan said, adding that, “As long as memes run, I think SOL does too.” Meanwhile, crypto analyst Alex Clay highlighted that the cryptocurrency has been in a bullish megaphone formation for over a year, and “Once Large Caps catch the Real Bull Run,” Solana will lead the market. During this period, SOL has traded between the upper and the lower boundary, with its latest retest of the pattern’s support occurring in April. Since then, the cryptocurrency has bounced toward the mid-zone of the formation, holding the 50-day EMA, 100-day EMA, and 200-day EMA as dynamic support.

To the analyst, “Breakout of ATH and Price Discovery is inevitable,” with the initial targets sitting around $350-$400. As of this writing, SOL trades at $177, a 2% increase in the daily timeframe.

A recent report revealed that over 50% of all crypto tokens have failed in the past five years, with a significant decrease in token survivability over the past year. Related Reading: Solana: Analysts Forecast Q3 ATH Rally As SOL Retests Make Or Break Level 50% Of Crypto Tokens Have Collapsed On Wednesday, CoinGecko published a report claiming that over half of the tokens registered in its Decentralized Exchange (DEX) tracker, GeckoTerminal, have died in the past five years. The study examined the total number of crypto tokens once listed in the DEX tracker with one trade or more before going defunct. Since 2021, nearly 7 million tokens have been listed in the real-time tracker, with 3.7 million cryptocurrencies no longer actively traded and considered to have failed. As a result, 52.7% of all examined crypto died, 86.5% failing between 2024 and early 2025. According to the report, 49.7% of all recorded project failures between July 2021 and March 2025 occurred in the first quarter of this year. By March 31, 1.8 million tokens had collapsed, representing the highest number of failures recorded in a single year. In 2024, nearly 1.4 million crypto projects failed, accounting for 37.7% of all collapses during the analyzed period. The number of failing projects has significantly increased from 0.5% in 2021 to 25% in 2025’s first three months. Nonetheless, CoinGecko noted that 2024 has the highest number of launches, seeing over 3 million new projects deployed in the crypto market. Since 2021, the total number of projects has skyrocketed by around 1,550%, going from 428,383 listed projects on GeckoTerminal to nearly 7 million crypto projects. Memecoin Frenzy Responsible For Most Failures? The massive increase in token launches was fueled by the launch of the Solana-based memecoin launchpad Pump.fun, which facilitated the deployment of tokens. The platform’s creation led to a “flood of meme coins and low-effort projects entering the market.” Notably, the start of this cycle’s memecoin frenzy saw the launch of hundreds of PolitiFi tokens, celebrity tokens, and scam tokens, with many reaching market capitalizations of hundreds of millions in record time. The report highlighted that crypto failures were in the low six digits before Pump.fun’s launch, with only 12.6% of all dead tokens between 2021 and 2023. By July 2024, reports revealed most celebrity memecoins had crashed over 90% since launch, with the majority essentially “dead.” Related Reading: Monero (XMR) Price Jumps 50% Amid ‘Suspicious’ $330 Million BTC Transfer – Details Amid the Q1 market retraces, most cryptocurrencies have seen a sharp price decline, with some of the strongest tokens retesting monthly and yearly lows. The recent nosedive in token survivability could be related to the market exhaustion and market turbulence, which coincided with the launch of the official TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins and the LIBRA token scandal. “This sharp decline in token survivability may be linked to broader market turbulence, particularly following Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2025, which coincided with a downturn in the crypto market,” the report concluded.

The Solana-based memecoin Launchpad Pump.fun’s X account has been hacked and used to promote fake cryptocurrencies, including an “official” PUMP governance token. On-chain investigators suspect the hack is linked to other X account compromises. Related Reading: Red Monday, Green Week? Bitcoin Needs To Reclaim This Level For Trend Continuation – Analyst Pump.Fun Hackers Launch PUMP Memecoin On Wednesday, Pump.fun’s official X account was compromised, with hackers promoting different tokens during the incident. The account started to post different contract addresses (CA) for various memecoins before deleting them. The hackers initially shared the contact address of PUMP, the “official Pump.fun governance token,” stating that “democracy has never been this degen” and that they would be rewarding their “OG DEGENS.” The crypto community quickly identified the memecoin as a scam and alerted other users of the potential account compromise. Blockchain data firm Bubblemaps warned users of the fake memecoin, explaining that PUMP was “heavily bundled and will dump,” as 60% of the token’s supply was held in two clusters. Meanwhile, Pump.fun’s founder, Alon Cohen, confirmed the X hack and asked the community not to interact with it or any links shared until it was recovered. According to on-chain investigator Dethective, the hackers extracted around $600,000 from the token minutes after sharing the memecoin. The crypto sleuth explained that their strategy consisted of posting the CA of a bundled scam token and deleting it after rugging investors. Besides the fake PUMP token, the malicious actor promoted OG, Extract Protocol (EXAI), and Pump.fun Hacked (HACKED), extracting around $90,000 from these memecoins. Dethective noted that some investors continue to buy the tokens after the hackers repeatedly rugged the previous ones, with the last token hitting a $1.5 million market capitalization at the top. The malicious actors asked the crypto community whether they should create a “legit token on Pump.fun” and call it “Hackeddotfun.” They “promised” to pump the memecoin to a market capitalization of $100 million, assuring it wouldn’t “be a bundle” and would be launched through the platform before deleting the posts. Pump.Fun Hack Linked To Jupiter’s X Compromise? Renowned on-chain detective ZachXBT revealed the Pump.fun compromise is “directly connected on-chain” to the Jupiter DAO and DogWifcoin compromises from February 2025 and November 2024, respectively. On his Telegram channel, the internet sleuth suggested that the attacks are “likely not the fault of either the Pump.fun or Jupiter teams.” Instead, Zach suspects a threat actor is “social engineering employees at X with fraudulent documents/emails or a panel is being exploited.” Wu blockchain shared GMGN data revealing that only one Pump.fun memecoin had a market value above $1 million yesterday. The post detailed that several tokens hit the $1 million barrier but quickly experienced a sharp drop.

At the time of this writing, Pump.fun’s team has regained access to the account and stated they will continue to monitor the situation as “the attack that led to this compromise is unknown, but it’s unlikely that the team is at fault.” Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Memecoins have been the leading narrative of the cycle after surpassing all expectations and becoming the top-performing sector of 2024. As we navigate 2025’s crypto market, emerging sectors like Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents could rival memecoins’ narrative mindshare. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) $200 Level Recovery Looks ‘Very Solid’, Is The Bleeding Over? Memecoins Defined 2024’s Crypto Market On Tuesday, Binance Research shared its “Full-Year 2024 & Themes for 2025” report, crowning memecoins as the “Defining Narrative of 2024. The platform highlighted the sector’s outstanding performance last year, which drove significant attention to the crypto market. According to the report, memecoins played a “significant role in onboarding new users to the crypto space and offer a unique way to monetize attention in the social media era.” Additionally, the notion of “so-called ‘blue-chip’ memes” served as a testament to the “growth and diversity of the memecoin market and its structure,” the report noted. The crypto community saw the creation of various sub-sectors within the memecoin space, encapsulating the events that shaped the year. For instance, PolitiFi tokens, which rose amid the American electoral campaign, recorded the many changes in the political landscape through these tokens. This narrative eventually led to the launch of the Solana-based TRUMP memecoin, the first-ever token officially backed by a politician. The memecoin was created in January to “celebrate Courage & Strength” after the July 2024 assassination attempt on President Trump. Binance Research points out that memecoins meteoric rise could be attributed to various factors, including increased transparency and a perception of fairness, accessibility, and addressing users’ frustration with the “low float, high FDV” issue. Additionally, it noted the sector’s high-risk, high-reward nature appears to have fulfilled the industry’s search for the first crypto AAA game. The report argues that the “thrill of creating memecoins of the smallest moments in cultures” trade them into “sky-high valuations” could be perceived as a game, keeping the community invested in the sector and increasing its popularity. AI Agents: The Growing Narrative Second to memecoins, the AI crypto sector took 12.6% of the narrative mindshare in 2024, opening the stage for the market’s “newer fascination,” AI Agents. This sub-sector captured investors’ attention throughout Q3 2024, fueled by Truth Terminal and GOAT’s growing popularity, and became a leading narrative in recent months. AI agents, initially sparked by Truth Terminal and $GOAT, have captured the market since October and become a dominant narrative. Infrastructure providers like Virtuals Protocol (G.A.M.E. framework) and ai16z (ElizaOS framework) have been key players. The sector has also faced backlash from the crypto community. Some investors consider the new trend “worse than other past trends,” arguing that it is “overrated.” Similarly, an anonymous poll showed that Solana founders consider AI agent tokens to be overhyped. Nonetheless, it has continuously evolved and has “lots more in development.” As of this writing, the sector has a market capitalization of $7.84 billion, according to CoinGecko data. What’s Next? Binance Research pointed out the issue of memecoin longevity, as many of the tokens see a rapid rise and fall. It considers that, despite not all tokens having the level of popularity to stand the test of time, memecoins are “likely to have some staying power” in some form. Related Reading: TRUMP Coin Tanks 18%—Even Donald Trump Couldn’t Save It Meanwhile, AI Agents are significantly earlier in their development but share the “power to onboard users (AI is a key topic across business and finance) and monetize attention.” As a result, the growth of the “AI x crypto” intersection is almost certain. The report concludes that the “entry of web2 into AI Agents, and the rapid development and anticipated trajectory of AI x crypto” are some of the key areas to watch this year.

Despite the controversy faced by the platform, Pump.fun earned $106 million in DApp revenue in November.
In what has been one of the most bullish months of the year, asset manager and crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuer VanEck released a report highlighting significant gains in the memecoin sector, alongside notable performances from major cryptocurrencies like Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), Polkadot (DOT), and Stellar (XLM). Solana’s Ecosystem Thrives According to VanEck’s analysis, Solana delivered a 42% return in November, with the SOL token hitting an all-time high of $262. This increase was largely driven by a surge in on-chain trading activity related to memecoins, which led the general market rally with a 95% increase during the month. This drove Solana’s revenues and decentralized exchange (DEX) volumes to unprecedented levels. In fact, Solana generated $177 million in revenue in November, doubling the previous month’s high of $74 million. Related Reading: BNB Surges 18% To Hit Record High Close To $800: Is Further Growth On The Horizon? This rush of activity also benefited projects such as Jito and Pump.fun, which generated revenues of $185 million and over $92 million, respectively. Jito operates as an on-chain application that generates revenue through maximal extracted value (MEV), which is derived from arbitrage opportunities created during DEX trading. Meanwhile, Pump.fun captures revenue directly from memecoin trading, showcasing the dual benefits of Solana’s vibrant ecosystem. Solana’s success was further underscored by its wallet, Phantom, claiming the top spot in Apple’s “free utility apps” category, and Robinhood reinstating SOL trading on its platform. In addition, the popular non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace Magic Eden announced an upcoming token airdrop, which is expected to stimulate further on-chain trading. Cardano And Polkadot Lead Crypto Altcoin Rallies Cardano’s ADA was another standout performer in November, achieving an impressive 201% increase. This rally was spurred by off-chain developments and speculation surrounding the influence of Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson, in shaping future crypto policy. Following Hoskinson’s announcement of establishing a crypto policy office in Washington, D.C., ADA experienced a significant price surge. The upward momentum continued with Robinhood’s relisting of ADA and an update to Cardano’s governance structure, which emphasized on-chain decision-making by ADA holders. On-chain usage metrics reflected Cardano’s price movement, with total value locked (TVL) surging by 180% as various Cardano project tokens rallied. However, despite these gains, Cardano’s absolute figures in stablecoins and daily DEX volumes remain modest compared to Ethereum (ETH), highlighting a potential area for growth. Related Reading: XRP Under The Microscope: Will It Break $2.9? Key Support Levels And Future Targets Polkadot, often viewed as an underperformer in the crypto space, also saw a surprising rally in November. While its ecosystem has struggled with slow onboarding and technical challenges, recent developments, particularly from the Mythos Chain—a gaming blockchain hosting popular titles like NFL Rivals—have invigorated interest. Polkadot’s founder, Gavin Wood, also unveiled plans for a more agile architecture, allowing for enhanced interoperability and cloud-like services, which could position Polkadot favorably against other crypto assets like Ethereum and Celestia. In the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector, major protocols such as Aave, Uniswap, and Sky (formerly MakerDAO) demonstrated strength, with significant fee increases and market activity. Aave crossed a milestone of $30 billion in deposits, positioning it among the largest banks by deposits if it were a traditional institution. Meanwhile, Uniswap’s market position was bolstered by a favorable court ruling regarding the legality of immutable smart contracts, which spurred a substantial increase in its market capitalization. At the time of writing, SOL trades at $236, up nearly 3% in the past 24 hours Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
Solana (SOL) has been one of the leading cryptocurrencies throughout this bull run, seeing a 66.8% jump in the last three months to its latest all-time high (ATH) and flipping other rivals. Despite its remarkable rally, SOL has recently lost the spotlight to Altcoins like XRP, risking a major correction in the coming days. Related Reading: Cardano Could Be Heading For A 20% Correction – Technical Data Signals Bearish Price Structure Solana To Retest $200? Solana has outperformed most of the market during this cycle, leaping over 231% in the last year. The ecosystem has been the talk of the town, with Solana-based memecoins leading the market’s narrative and SOL’s DeFi activity outpacing Ethereum’s. Less than a month ago, the cryptocurrency’s bullish rally saw the altcoin surpass Binance Coin (BNB) as the fourth-largest token by market capitalization. SOL saw its price rise near the $200 zone, propelling its market capitalization to $88 billion on November 6. Since then, its market cap has surged nearly 20% to $105 billion, but SOL’s momentum has begun to slow down as other cryptocurrencies pick up steam. On Sunday, XRP flipped Solana and Tether (USDT) to become the third-largest crypto by market cap, sending SOL to the fifth position. XRP’s milestone made some investors and market watchers worry about SOL’s future performance since the cryptocurrency has experienced a 14% retrace from its latest ATH of $263 nine, recorded nine days ago. Crypto analyst Income Sharks noted that Solana displays a bearish structure on its lower timeframe chart. According to the post, the altcoin has been forming a Head and Shoulders (H&S) pattern in the past month after a three-week diagonal trendline break, suggesting a trend reversal for Solana. On Sunday night, SOL dropped below the $230 mark, hitting its lowest price since November 15 and breaking below the pattern’s neckline. This could potentially send Solana to retrace around 10% and test its previous support zone between the $200-$210 range. Similarly, crypto analyst CRG noted that a retest of these levels would be possible before bouncing to new highs. SOL Sees Historic November Close Despite the recent retrace, several crypto watchers consider SOL’s rally is far from over, highlighting the token’s strength throughout the cycle and its achievements. Crypto Jelle pointed out that Solana still targets the $400-$600 in its price discovery mode after it broke out of an 8-month bullish pennant in November and “locked in a monthly breakout too.” Likewise, Rekt Capital noted that the cryptocurrency recorded a historic close this November, as it saw its “Highest candle-bodied Monthly Close of all-time.” Other analysts also concurred, hinting that investors should remain optimistic about the $400 target as momentum remains strong.

SOL records a 5.3% and 7.2% decline in the daily and weekly timeframes but shows a 36.3% surge in the last month. As of this writing, Solana is trading at $224, with a 97% increase in its daily trading volume. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

As the US presidential election results loom, one analyst is expressing confidence in the continuous surge of memecoins, particularly in the context of the ongoing political landscape. In a recent social media post on X (formerly Twitter), Miles Deutscher asserted that dog-themed and cat-themed cryptocurrencies will continue outperforming the broader crypto market, regardless of whether Donald Trump or Kamala Harris emerges victorious. Dogecoin Leads Memecoins Resurgence On Election Day Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency on the market, is trading near the $70,000 mark, up a modest 2.2% over the past 24 hours, after several failed attempts to break above its all-time high of $73,700 last week. In stark contrast, Dogecoin (DOGE), the leading memecoin by market capitalization, has surged by 12% during the same period, demonstrating the sector’s performance relative to the top ten cryptocurrencies. Related Reading: Solana ‘Must Break Descending Resistance’ To Regain Bullish Momentum – Analyst Deutscher suggests that if Trump wins the election, Dogecoin’s positive momentum will likely increase. He cites Trump’s proposed Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative, which he believes will increase Dogecoin’s visibility and liquidity, as a catalyst that could spark a broader rally in the memecoin space. “DOGE as the meme leader will drive attention and liquidity rotation to the broader meme narrative, he asserts.” This enthusiasm could lead to a significant influx of speculative investments, often called “fear of missing out” (FOMO). Increased Crypto Scrutiny Under A Harris Administration? Deutscher further predicts that a Trump victory would spark a rally in altcoins, especially memecoins, which have historically shown strength leading up to elections. Another clear example of this is that the largest tokens in the Solana memecoin ecosystem, Dogwifhat (WIF), Bonk Inu (BONK) and Popcat (POPCAT), saw surges of 6.3%, 8% and 6% respectively, on election day, all of which outperformed the top ten cryptocurrencies in the market. Deutscher also said that with many cryptocurrencies undergoing significant drawdowns as investors de-risked ahead of the election, they would likely experience a pronounced bounce if Trump secures the presidency. Conversely, if Kamala Harris wins, the analyst foresees a different dynamic. The possibility of increased regulatory scrutiny on utility tokens could prompt investors to seek refuge in more speculative assets, such as memecoins. Related Reading: Why Is Dogecoin Going Up Today? Key Drivers Of DOGE’s 10% Surge Deutscher notes that under this scenario, the fear of a crackdown, reminiscent of the operation chokepoint initiatives targeting certain crypto assets, may lead investors to gravitate towards nihilistic alternatives like memecoins. Ultimately, this shift could increase meme coins dominance, especially if traditional sectors like decentralized finance (DeFi) face heightened scrutiny. In this case, Deutscher asserts that investors might shy away from the broader altcoin market, favoring assets that have already demonstrated resilience and strength throughout the year. Based on price action trends, the analyst points out that some memecoins may be perceived as less risky than other altcoins, a sentiment that appears to be gaining traction among retail investors. At the time of writing, Dogecoin trades at $0.1755. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
Just hours away from the US presidential elections, PolitiFi tokens have seen a remarkable boost. The sector has experienced a nearly 10% surge in the last 24 hours, with Trump-themed memecoins leading the way. Following the recent performance, some investors forecast a massive rally for these tokens in the coming days. Related Reading: Is The Bitcoin Bull Market Over? Analyst Reveals Bear Case That Could Send Price To $28,000 Trump-Themed Memecoins See 30% Jump The PolitiFi sector gained popularity after several memecoins inspired by US politicians registered a massive performance earlier this year. Some tokens had their market capitalization break above the $100 million mark, with a couple still holding the feat. Memecoins inspired by the former US President and Republican candidate Donald J. Trump have led the sector throughout his presidential campaign. The tokens recorded massive rallies this year, hitting their peak during Q2. Cryptocurrencies like MAGA (TRUMP) and Doland Tremp (TREMP) hit the $17 and $1.5 marks, respectively, as their all-time high (ATH), fueled by Trump’s crypto-friendly statements. However, most of these cryptocurrencies have retraced significantly since June, pulling back over 70% in most cases. Now that the elections are just hours away, the PolitiFi sector is soaring again, surging around 10% in the last 24 hours, while the crypto market sees a 1.5% retrace. Memecoins themed after Trump held their lead, registering green performance during the past day. TRUMP has seen a 26% surge in the last 24 hours, trading above the $3.8 range. Meanwhile, MAGA Hat (MAGA) records a 32.6% price jump in the same timeframe, nearing a $90 million market cap earlier today. MAGA’s daily trading activity has also increased nearly 30%, registering a $41.7 million trading volume on the last day. PolitiFi Tokens In The Hands Of The Election The sector’s rally is seemingly fueled by the anticipation surrounding the elections. Notably, volatility is forecasted to peak in the following days as speculation about the election’s outcome increases. Some investors believe the PolitiFi token’s rally will continue in the following days, with Trump-themed memecoins expected to skyrocket in case of Trump’s victory. Just 10 hours before the election, the Republican candidate’s winning odds are considerably higher than the Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris. Polymarket’s live forecast shows that Trump leads the prediction market with a 15% gap. Following the presidential debate, the former president lost ground to the US Vice President in early September. At the time, the Democratic nominee surpassed Trump’s winning odds by 4%. However, these have seen a significant retrace in the last month. Related Reading: ADA Slips Below $0.3389 Level, Deeper Downtrend Looming? The Republican candidate regained his lead in October, recording a considerable 33% gap between his winning odds and Harris’. By the end of the month, Trump led the predictions market with a 66% chance of winning, which has now retraced to 57%. Amid Trump’s winning odds, the memecoins inspired by the US VP have recorded a considerable decrease in the past day. Kamala Horris (KAMA), the largest Harris-inspired token, retraced nearly 25% in the last 24 hours, seeing a 34% decrease in daily trading activity.

The Solana (SOL) memecoin ecosystem is regaining traction with investors as Bitcoin (BTC) leads the overall market recovery, approaching its previous record high of $73,700 set in March. This renewed interest is reflected in the performance of Popcat (POPCAT), one of the outstanding and best-performing tokens in the Solana memecoin space over the past month. Wintermute Fuels The POPCAT Bullish Trend POPCAT has emerged as a significant winner in the Solana chain in the past week, experiencing a 21% surge. Following a continued uptrend, the token recorded a 13% increase in just 24 hours, reaching a new all-time high of $1.75 on Tuesday. Related Reading: Bitcoin Triggers Golden Cross: What This Means For The Crypto Trend According to data from Nansen, the driving force behind this bullish trend has been a notable increase in buying pressure, largely attributed to market-making trading firm Wintermute, which has played a pivotal role in facilitating buying transactions within the digital asset. However, shortly after hitting its record peak, POPCAT retraced to approximately $1.70, attributed to increased profit-taking by investors, as many sought to capitalize on the recent gains. Nansen’s data indicates a pattern of transfers to decentralized exchanges (DEXs) for selling purposes, signaling a typical market behavior following a significant price surge and the achievement of a new record price. One of the key players in these transactions is the crypto exchange Bybit, which has been transferring POPCAT tokens in batches to the US-based exchange Kraken over the past few days. Despite these transfers, Bybit still retains around 63,602 POPCAT coins, valued at approximately $109 million. To avoid a sharp correction and maintain the upward momentum, it will be crucial for the POPCAT bulls to hold key support levels in the coming days, and in particular, to hold and consolidate above the $1.70 level. Key Levels To Watch Despite the enthusiasm surrounding the POPCAT token, the most significant support levels are well below current trading prices, which could lead to significant retracement. Looking at the POPCAT/USDT daily chart, the first support is located at the $1.55 zone, which, if lost, could lead to a further pullback down to the $1.48 support. This could jeopardize most of the token’s gains over the last week, as the loss of these levels could lead to a retest of its next support at $1.37. Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP Price Is Ready For A Breakout As Metrics Turn Bullish, What To Expect However, it remains to be seen whether the buying pressure seen over the past week can overcome the current profit-taking activity by investors in the token, as a consolidation above $1.70 in the next 72 hours can lead to a significant bullish weekly close.

The crypto ecosystem has seen a surge in memecoins and their popularity over the past year. Still, the craze has ushered in a wave of scams and rug pulls targeting unsuspecting investors. The latest victim of this trend is the Solana-based GRIMACE coin, which was the subject of a rug pull. GRIMACE Surges 400% After McDonald’s Instagram Hack The incident began when hackers accessed the official McDonald’s Instagram account and used the platform to promote the GRIMACE token. The hackers spread misinformation, falsely claiming that McDonald’s had issued the GRIMACE memecoin on the Solana blockchain. Related Reading: Here’s What’s Going On With The Shiba Inu Price This had the desired effect, as investors rapidly piled into the GRIMACE token, driving its market capitalization from a modest $500,000 to a substantial $25 million in 30 minutes. At its peak, the token’s price skyrocketed by nearly 400%, reaching $0.02500 from an initial value of just $0.0005110. However, the euphoria was short-lived. After the token’s rise, the anonymous developers behind GRIMACE executed a classic rug pull, abruptly abandoning the project and absconding with over $700,000 in investor funds. The hackers even posted a message on the McDonald’s Instagram bio, brazenly stating, “Thank you for the $700,000 in Solana.” Solana Price Analysis On the other hand, the Solana price has been relatively stable since Monday, trading within a newly formed range between $138 and $142 after recovering from the drop at the beginning of the month toward the $109 level, which was the lowest point since March this year. Over the past 24 hours, SOL has recorded almost no changes compared to Tuesday’s price, experiencing a slight 0.9% drop despite Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) surging nearly 3% and 2%, respectively. This lack of price movement suggests little demand for the fifth-largest cryptocurrency in the market over the past week, further evidenced by a 14% drop in trading volume to $2.2 million in the last 48 hours, according to CoinGecko data.

The consolidation in Solana’s price is also concerning for bullish investors, as the token has failed to overcome its key technical indicators. Currently trading at $142, SOL has not breached its 50-day and 200-day exponential moving averages (EMAs), which are positioned at $143 and $151, respectively. Overcoming these levels would be crucial for sustained price recovery and provide important support floors in the event of potential corrections. However, it is worth noting that after the broader cryptocurrency market crash on August 5, SOL found significant support at the $129 level, representing a critical near-term defense for Solana’s price action.

Pump.fun is incentivizing memecoin creators to get their tokens off to a successful launch, but the jury’s out whether it will stop bad actors from rugging their tokens early.
A new dog-themed meme coin has taken the crypto market by storm. Inspired by Kabosu owner’s new dog, Neiro, a new wave of Shiba Inu-themed tokens surged on Solana. However, Its Ethereum-based competitor has stolen the show with its stellar performance in the last four days. Kabosu’s Sister Sparks New Memecoin Wave Kabosu, the dog that inspired the legendary Doge meme, passed away in May. The beloved dog also inspired the flagship memecoin Dogecoin (DOGE), and a plethora of Shiba Inu-themed tokens. Its owner recently announced she had adopted Neiro, a 10-year-old rescued Shiba Inu dog. Related Reading: Ethereum Seeing High Exchange Outflows, But Watch Out For This Bearish Signal Following the announcement, the crypto community saw the launch of several tokens inspired by the dog. Most of these tokens were deployed on Solana, initially pumping to millions in market capitalization. On its first day, the largest Solana-based Neiro meme coin reached a $100 million market cap. However, it has since plummeted over 80% to a market capitalization below $20 million, possibly due to the overabundance of Neiro tokens on the chain. The token was also heavily criticized after online reports called out alleged insider activity from the developers. Blockchain data firm Bubblemaps revealed that the developers of the largest Neiro token deployed on Solana had control of 6% of the token’s supply and eventually sold it for $5.7 million. Since then, the meme coin has seen a massive 84% price drop, going from its all-time high (ATH) of $0.12 to trading at $0.019. Are The Dog Days Back? The Ethereum-based Neiro stole the show from its Solana counterparts. The token has seen remarkable growth in the last four days, hitting a $200 million market cap on August 1. Since its creation on July 27, Neiro has registered a 4,400% surge, shredding two zeros as a result. Additionally, the token reached a new ATH price of $0.20 after soaring 81% from the day before. Nonetheless, the developers of Ethereum’s Neiro have also been accused of insider trading. Following the massive surge, Bubblemaps alerted investors that the token allegedly “is heavily controlled.” According to the report, 78% of the memecoin’s supply was sniped at launch and quickly spread among 400 wallets. The firm revealed that the wallets had sold 12% of their holdings, around $4.5 million, by July 30. Investors seemed unfazed by the reports, with many calling the report “bullish news.” Others expressed excitement by the firm’s “fudding,” stating, “A lot of the most successful memes require supply control.” Related Reading: Solana Looks ‘Ripe To Push Higher’, Is A Mania-Like Rally To $600 Coming? Moreover, many investors consider “the dog days are back” and the “Doge legacy continues” with the Ethereum-based memecoin. To an X user, there are a few reasons why Neiro’s has become an overnight sensation, including its “SHIB-like narrative,” “concentrated attention,” and the “return of dog meta that always dominates Ethereum bull cycles.” As of this writing, Neiro is trading at $0.18, a 63% surge in the last 24 hours.

The celebrity memecoin mania has added a new player with the recently launched Daddy Tate (DADDY). The token, promoted by the controversial figure Andrew Tate, has gained traction, surpassing Iggy Azalea’s MOTHER. However, Tate is now accused of some concerning activity for crypto investors. Related Reading: Dogwifhat To Tumble? Analyst Sets $1 Target For WIF Andrew Tate Endorses DADDY On June 11, former pro kickboxer and controversial online figure Andrew Tate started promoting a new memecoin. The DADDY token was marketed as the direct competition to Iggy Azalea’s MOTHER, the most successful celebrity launch. Before he endorsed DADDY, Tate stated he held zero tokens but was aware there were hundreds of memecoins related to his likeness. Days later, he invited popular crypto trader Ansem to fight him in a boxing match, claiming this was “his cycle.” He also suggested that the loser donates $10 million to a token of the winner’s choosing. Tate’s approach received mixed reactions from the members of the crypto community. Content creator Jakey jokingly claimed that Crypto Twitter was the new YouTube. Another user stated, “Every day we get further away from god.” On Tuesday, Tate promoted the Daddy Tate memecoin, which was also received with mixed feelings and some criticism. The promotional posts targeted Azalea’s MOTHER while making sexist “jokes” and using domestic violence as a punchline. I heard about a coin called mother so now I’m supporting a coin called $DADDY to flip it for the patriarchy. We’re bringing the Gs back make me a fucking sandwich females. Tate’s Memecoin Called Out For Insider Trading On Wednesday, crypto analytics firm Bubblemaps accused the token of having “huge insider activity.” According to the firm, they found suspicious activity before Tate started promoting DADDY. Bubblemaps revealed that insiders allegedly bought 30% of the token’s supply at launch. On June 9, Daddy Tate’s team sent 40% of the total supply to the former kickboxer, which he promised not to sell. Additionally, he bought $10,000 worth of DADDY and burned it. Despite this, the token seems to “have a catch.” Per the report, 11 wallets are holding 20% of the supply. These wallets were founded through Binance with “nearly identical amounts at the same time.” Moreover, they bought the tokens, worth around $30 million, on June 9, before the team started to promote the token on X. The firm claims that the timing and amounts “strongly suggest” the wallets belong to the same group. Similarly, two other clusters hold an additional 10% of the supply and seem to be linked through a third wallet. Bubblemaps urged investors to remain cautious as the insiders “seem to be active on $DADDY and are trying to cover their tracks.” The firm warned that “one of these wallets could nuke the liquidity pool.” DADDY Surpasses MOTHER After Tate’s post about DADDY, the crypto community called him out for his posts. Some users suggested he returned when the token was a MOTHER’s level. At the time, Daddy Tate had a $45 million market capitalization and was trading at $0.1499. Nonetheless, DADDY gained traction on Wednesday, surging to $0.36. In 24 hours, the token increased by 143% to a new all-time high (ATH) and reached a $280 million market capitalization. This performance saw the memecoin surpass MOTHER despite the controversial promotion and insider activity allegations. Since then, the token has retraced to the $0.24 price level, a 32% decline in the last 12 hours. DADDY had a market cap of $240 million at the time of writing. Meanwhile, MOTHER saw a 46% surge on Wednesday, which propelled the price from $0.15 to $0.22. In the following hours, the memecoin’s price declined 36% to the $0.14 range before recovering.
