A wave of Solana memecoins carrying the name of influencer Ansem has gone parabolic, with one version running to tens of millions in market cap in under two weeks. But Ansem did not create most of them, has publicly disavowed several, and the eye-catching pump figures often do not survive a look at the chain. Here is what $ANSEM actually is, why it is trending, and what it teaches about influencer coins. Summary $ANSEM is not a single coin but a cluster of competing Solana memecoins built around the online identity of crypto influencer Ansem, real name reported as Zion…

Launching a memecoin used to be a one-time event. Now, on platforms like Pump.fun, the person who creates a token can earn a cut of every trade, potentially for as long as it trades. That single change has reshaped who launches coins, why, and how the money flows. Here is how creator fees work, how they are evolving, and where they go wrong. Summary Creator fees are a share of trading activity that a memecoin launchpad routes to the person who created a token, turning a launch into a potential ongoing income stream rather than a one-time event. On Pump.fun,…

Before a memecoin reaches a normal exchange, its price is not set by buyers and sellers meeting in a market. It is set by a formula. That formula is the bonding curve, and it is the engine behind nearly every Solana memecoin launch. Here is how a bonding curve works, why launchpads use it, and why understanding it is the difference between trading and reacting late. Summary A bonding curve is a mathematical formula that sets a token’s price automatically based on how much of its supply has been bought, so the price rises as people buy and falls as…

If you spend any time around Solana memecoins, you will hear about “the trenches.” It is where traders called degens fight over brand-new tokens that mostly go to zero, in a culture with its own language, rituals, and brutal economics. Here is what the trenches are, the slang you need to follow them, and the hard reality behind the romance. Summary “The trenches” is crypto slang for the chaotic, high-risk frontier of on-chain memecoin trading, especially brand-new Solana tokens on launchpads like Pump.fun. The traders who operate there are called trenchers or degens, and the culture has its own dense…

Sentiment around cryptocurrency memecoin launch platform Pump.fun [PUMP] has turned positive again following renewed interest in memecoins over the past day. The platform’s native token moved alongside that momentum, with PUMP surging 12% over the past day. Even so, the rally remained tied to the platform’s underlying health, leaving investors exposed if protocol activity failed to recover. Why are investors buying PUMP? PUMP’s recent rally has coincided with growing investor participation. The token’s holder count reached a record 122,440, while retail investors accounted for roughly 38% of holders. That increase also appeared in on-chain data, suggesting fresh capital supported the…

A whale accumulated 22 million TRUMP tokens worth approximately $36.51 million after moving the holdings from Binance into a newly created wallet. The transaction immediately attracted market attention because it removed a substantial amount of supply from a major exchange. Such transfers have often reflected long-term positioning instead of immediate selling intent. However, one transfer alone did not confirm a trend reversal. Instead, it highlighted growing confidence from a large holder despite Official Trump [TRUMP] trading near a major support area. Exchange outflows continued to reduce selling pressure Spot exchange flows also supported the accumulation narrative during the latest trading…

dogwifhat [WIF] is staging a comeback after spending most of the year subdued, with the memecoin down 38% on a year-to-date basis yet up 16% over the past day. Market analysis shows that a stronger rally could still take shape once the asset overcomes the key structural level that could keep its price from staging a surge. A descending resistance line caps WIF’s rally The major obstacle standing between WIF and a sizeable rally remains the descending resistance line that price has only marginally crossed. The breakout cannot be confirmed as bullish yet. WIF’s price has not closed above the…

The memecoin market remained one of the shakier sectors in crypto. The altcoin market cap has fallen by 4.5% over the past week. During this time, memecoins have shed 12% in value, according to Glassnode data on sector performance. Against this backdrop of relative weakness, siren [SIREN] has rallied by 21% in the past 24 hours. Before bulls get excited, they must remember that a whale sold 92% of the total SIREN supply in just two days earlier in June. This caused a 94% price correction from $1.35 on Tuesday, the 9th of June, to $0.08 on Sunday, the 14th…

On the 20th of January, 2025, Donald Trump took office as the 47th President of the United States and was simultaneously crowned the “crypto president.” His second term was an unapologetic shift from being a critic to an enthusiast. Infamously, in 2021, Trump had dismissed Bitcoin [BTC] against the USD in an interview with Fox Business, saying that it – “Seems like a scam.” Fast forward to today, President Trump is now known for his crypto ventures, including World Liberty Financial, the WLFI token, and the TRUMP memecoin. This unexpected transition has raised a critical question: Is Trump’s crypto vision…

Pump.fun is introducing USDC-denominated trading pairs for new token launches, marking a potentially significant shift in how liquidity flows through Solana’s memecoin ecosystem. In a series of posts published on 21 May, the Solana-based memecoin launchpad said creators can now choose to launch tokens using USDC-paired liquidity pools instead of the platform’s traditional SOL-denominated bonding curves. The move is designed to create “more stability, better coin distribution & higher ceilings,” according to Pump.fun. However, beyond the platform’s own explanation, the update signals a broader structural change: memecoin trading on Solana may become increasingly tied to stablecoin liquidity rather than direct…
