Memecoins are emerging as a popular investment option alongside traditional crypto. The memecoin WIF has surged the most in the memecoin market in the past 365 days.
The Solana-based memecoin Slerf (SLERF) launch has raised questions and rumors, as its developer asserted that it accidentally burned a substantial presale allocation of Solana (SOL) tokens worth $10 Million. This incident has also raised several questions about the presale.
The developer of Slerf accidentally burned both the liquidity and the 500 million tokens allocated to presale participants.
The project successfully raised over $10 Million in presales. Over the weekend, the project was one of several Solana-based self-starters that attracted millions of crypto-enthusiasts through presale initiatives.
Despite a decline in Solana’s price, Slerf’s price surged 48.51% intraday; at the press time, it was trading at $0.888. The coin went live on March 18, 2024, and in a few hours, it grew significantly.
The market capitalization of Slerf is $505.49 Million, and the past 24-hour trading volume is $1.72 Billion. There are also claims that other than funding, a significant portion of funds is injected.
Is SOL Price Affected By Slerf Event?
In the past 24 hours, the trading price of Solana (SOL) slipped 10.69% when it was trading at $184.73. As per market observers, the decline in the price is influenced by the news of Slerf memecoin.
The claims are yet to be proved, but the speculation indicates that the Slerf presale incident is largely behind the sharp decline.
