Solana’s Meme Coin Surge: Biden and Trump-Themed Tokens Steal the Spotlight with 10,000% Gains
As Solana meme coins like Dogwifhat (WIF) and Bonk (BONK) surge, a vanguard of new meme coins themed after politicians and celebrities are stealing the spotlight with daily gains in the thousands of percent.
While WIF and BONK are nursing seven-day gains in the region of 190% and 110%, a new shitcoin called joe boden ($boden) is up close to 3,000% in 24 hours as per DEXTools.
“joe boden” is of course a play on US President Joe Biden’s name.
$boden’s market cap was last around $33 million, with over $500,000 in liquidity and close to 6,800 holders.
A quick perusal of the other top-performing coins on the Solana chain today show other joke shitcoins are pumping.
These include $TOPG (alluding to controversial influencer Andrew Tate) and $HIDLER (alluding to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler).
Heightened risk appetite in the Solana shitcoin market comes amid a broad push higher in prices across the crypto market.

As traders rotate out of Bitcoin and deem its upside potential as now more limited given the near 3x rally since October 2023, they are moving into much riskier plays, such as newly launched coins on the Solana blockchain.

Creating a scam meme coin to try and lure in unsuspecting investors costs virtually nothing.
Investors thus must make sure to be very diligent when entering such markets.
Nearly all newly launched meme coins are either at worst outright scams, or at best pump-and-dump schemes.
There is no such thing as zero risk.
Investing in low-cap shitcoins is a very risky strategy.
