'Ethereum Killer' Solana Plummets 12%, Max Keiser Says 'Rug Pull Has Begun'
Portfolio Pulse from Mehab Qureshi
Solana's native token, SOL, has dropped by 12% in the past 24 hours, interrupting its recent rally. The decline follows a peak in price and transaction volume due to airdrops of new tokens like JITO and BONK, which also led to the sell-out of Solana's Saga phone. However, post-airdrop, tokens JITO, WIF, and BONK saw significant price drops. Solana's TVL in SOL also decreased by 17%. Max Keiser commented on the situation, suggesting a 'rug pull' has begun, while analyst Pentoshi expects SOL could drop to the $70s but remains optimistic about holding ecosystem coins.
