Investors in Solana memecoins are reeling after more than half of the top pre-sold projects were abandoned by their developers, resulting in losses exceeding $25 million. This news comes as a cautionary tale for memecoin enthusiasts, highlighting the high risks associated with these speculative investments.
Solana Co-Founder Anatoly Yakovenko had previously warned against the dangers of memecoin pre-sales, urging users to exercise caution. His concerns now seem prescient, with many projects failing to deliver on their promises.
SOL Price Decline
The SOL token price has witnessed a significant drop following the memecoin frenzy. Fueled by memecoin speculation, SOL reached highs of over $200 before plummeting to its current price of $154. This represents a 23% decline, despite a partial recovery from a local low of $117 on April 13th.
