The presale process involves investors sending cryptocurrency to a specified wallet address and receiving tokens once the coin is live. However, the lack of guarantees in presales makes them susceptible to fraud and scams.
The Book of Meme Frenzy
The launch of Book of Meme on March 14 marked a peak in the recent memecoin presale craze. Initially valued at around $4 million, the coin surged by a remarkable 36,000% within 56 hours, reaching a peak market capitalization of $1.45 billion.
Early investors witnessed exponential growth in their investments, with some turning thousands into millions in a matter of days.
Solana’s Role in Meme Coin Trading
Solana has become a preferred blockchain for trading meme coins due to its low transaction costs. The Solana meme coin sector has seen a significant surge, with coins featuring caricatures of public figures like Joe Biden and Donald Trump gaining popularity.
One viral story of a trader turning a small investment into a substantial return sparked the creation of coins like ‘Doland Tremp’ and ‘Olen Mosk’ on the Solana platform.
The meme coin ‘dogwifhat’ (WIF) on Solana has also risen to become the fourth-largest meme coin by market capitalization, following a successful fundraising campaign to showcase the coin’s mascot at a prominent entertainment venue in Las Vegas.
