Solana's memecoin scene is heating up again. Two tokens, $ANSEM and $MEMEDOGECOIN, are drawing significant attention on X, with traders pointing to sharp price moves and rising social engagement as signs that speculative appetite on the network remains strong.
$MEMEDOGECOIN is the newer of the two. The token launched on Pump.fun, the Solana-based memecoin launchpad, and quickly climbed to a $17 million market cap. According to CoinGecko, it surged more than 200% within a 24-hour window, a move that pushed it onto trending lists and into wider circulation on X. Pump.fun is a viral Solana-based memecoin launchpad that lets anyone create and trade tokens in minutes with no coding required, and has powered millions of token launches and billions in trading volume since launching in January 2024.
$ANSEM, meanwhile, has had a more extended run in the spotlight. The token carries the name of Ansem, the trader whose Solana and memecoin calls have made him one of the loudest voices on Crypto Twitter. He did not create the coin. $ANSEM is not a single coin but a cluster of competing Solana memecoins built around the online identity of crypto influencer Ansem, real name reported as Zion Thomas, who created none of them.
ANSEM is up about 299% over seven days, lifting Solana memecoin trading and Pump.fun volumes. The rally matters because memecoins now make up over 20% of Solana's weekly volume, pointing to a broader rebound in risk appetite.
The context around $ANSEM carries important caveats. For anyone encountering the trend, the practical implication is severe: there is no safe assumption that a token labeled $ANSEM is the one being discussed, is endorsed by Ansem, or is anything other than an opportunistic deployment by a stranger. Ansem did not create most of these tokens, and he has publicly disavowed several of them.
The broader risk picture for Pump.fun launches is also worth noting. Research firm Solidus Labs examined Pump.fun tokens launched before April 2025 that had at least five trades, and found 98.6% collapsed below $1,000 in remaining liquidity, the signature of a pump-and-dump that left late buyers holding nothing.
As with all memecoins, anyone considering a position should conduct thorough independent research. Nothing in this article constitutes financial advice.
