Solana down 8% as its coins Dogwifhat, Billy and Neiro fall further
Solana, the fifth-largest crypto asset by market cap, has fallen 8% in the past 24 hours, according to CoinGeckolike his Meme Coin Market Prices of some coins, which can be notoriously volatile, have fallen by as much as 43% in the past day.
As the cryptocurrency market bleeds with Bitcoin (Bitcoin) down 2.7% and Ethereum (ETH) 4.2%, Solana (GROUND) was the hardest hit among the top 10 cryptocurrencies, falling 8.2% to $168 on the day, according to data from CoinGecko. Along with this, meme coin Solana suffered huge losses.
The biggest loser in the last 24 hours is the bigger of the two Black (NEIRO) on Solana which fell nearly 44% to $0.01821. These tokens were launched after the owner of Kabosuthe Shiba Inu that inspired the Doge meme, announced that she had adopted a new dog named Neiro. Interestingly, her rival on the network launched an hour beforealso called Black (NEIRO), is up 75.2%. It appears that the Solana Neiro Civil War is far from being decided.
Other big losers include: Pump.fun’s Favorites Billy (BOWL), down 26.4%, and Michi (MICHI), which fell 24.5%. Over the past 24 hours, both tokens have flipped their market caps multiple times, but dog token Billy is currently in the lead with $94 million, about $3 million ahead of Michi.
Dog with hat (Wireless), the largest meme coin on Solana, was also hit, dropping 12.4%. Bonk (BONK), the second-largest Solana meme coin, fell 9.1%. In fact, among the top 50 Solana meme coins by market cap, only four tokens are in the green, with Zoomer (ZOOM IN) leading the pack with 41.1%.
Meme coins are notoriously high-risk assets and tend to post disproportionate losses when the broader market experiences a downturn.
Brain (BRAIN), Michi (MICHI), Mini (MINI), Shark cat (SC), and many others, for example, have suffered greater losses in the last 24 hours than any of the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
In the world of meme coins, when it rains, it rains.
