30 celebrity coins launched on Solana last month.

Here’s where they are now:

πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡ Image
A new Meta emerged last month as celebrities from Andrew Tate to Soulja Boy launched dozens of tokens.

It was so prevalent that even Vitalik commented on it.

For a trend that once dominated the timeline, how did it end up playing out? Image
For starters, every single coin is down from their all time high with an average decrease of 94%.

Even the best performing ones are down more than 70%, but the extent of the damage is shocking: Image
Exactly half are down over 99%, with 7 others being down more than 90%.

Let me remind you this is only about a month into their lifespan. Image
The market-caps don't fare much better:

22 of the 30 have under a $1 million market-cap at the time of writing.

The remaining 8 are listed below: Image
Some of these tokens remain 'active' in the sense that they're being tweeted about regularly.

For example, Waka Flocka's token is down 99.7% from all time highs and only has a $400k mcap.

Yet he still tweets about it, and has it in his bio.

Would you call this a rug? Image
With only 40% tweeting about the token at least once in the last week, most have followed the same trajectory of an initial pump, and then nothing.

Only a handful are still earnestly trying to varying degrees of success. Image
It is unknown where these tokens will be in a year from now.

The numbers don't look good, but to be fair this is true of all tokens.

Web3 is a fickle beast, and even earnest attempts aren't always met with success, but this doesn't excuse the blatant pump and dumps.
Below is a chart of the 30 celebrity tokens launched on Solana in June.

Every single one is down.

Place you bets accordingly. Image
And If you enjoyed the thread:

Make sure to retweet the initial post to help spread awareness of the state of these 30 celebrity launches

Addendum:

The $Mother community claims that the token only realistically went to a ~$270M mcap, and no bids were actually fulfilled with the Birdeye ATH token price showing 0.33.

If this is the case, the % would change from -78.7% to -74%

Crypto scams stole $3.94B dollars from victims in 2023 alone.

One misstep can cost you everything you've ever worked for.

These are the 9 most common scams you need to know to make it out of the bull-run intact.

1️⃣ The Discord Verification Scam

This comes in various forms, but the endgame is always the same:

To get you to join a Discord server where you have to use their 'special' verification system.
Upon visiting the verification site, it asks you to login with your Discord or to scan a QR code β€” compromising your account.

They can now pose as you and wreak havoc on your friends, or drop links in any servers you have perms in.

The case for Solana β€” by Visa.

🧡 πŸ‘‡ Image
0️⃣ Background:

40% of credit card transactions go through Visa.

When someone makes a purchase, they aren't privy to everything happening on the backend layer.

This is due to Visa's settlement systems which allow billions of daily transactions to move seamlessly. Image
However, by leveraging new technologies such as stable-coins and blockchains β€” Visa can further improve the speed & efficiency of cross border settlements.

And this is exactly what they did. Image

Billion dollar brands have failed to recreate their success in the NFT space.

Despite years of attempts β€” you might not have even noticed them at all:

Almost a week ago, Doodles announced a merch collaboration with Crocs β€” a 7 billion dollar company and a household name.

How was it received?
The reception was overall mixed.

The announcement itself garnered 3,000 likes β€” but some people were underwhelmed, and even questioned how this collaboration benefitted the underlying community.

Crypto has a habit of pushing for adoption at any cost.

Today people were celebrating the launch of Paypal's new stablecoin β€” PYUSD.

But there's always a hidden price in the fine print

One that might cost us everything:

🧡 πŸ‘‡ Image
Below is a breakdown of the terms of service of Paypal's "Crypto Hub", where many concerning portions are highlighted.

But it also brings to light a much deeper discussion about Crypto-Alignment.

Is it all just a tool, or is there an actual ethos uniting us?:
1️⃣ PYUSD

Paypal will be supporting a dollar backed stable-coin, PYUSD.

However, it is not issued by Paypal itself β€” rather, it is issued by a company called Paxos.

By interacting with their token, you are agreeing to their own set of terms and conditions.

In the last 24 hours, an entire month happened in crypto.

But if you were too busy to notice, it may have gone under your radar:

1️⃣ The SEC tried to nuke Crypto:

It has been revealed that prior to their June 6th lawsuit, the SEC formally requested that Coinbase halt the trading of all cryptocurrencies other than BTC.
This is despite the fact that the lawsuit only names 13 coins including Solana, Cardano, and Polygon.

Luckily the request was denied β€” as compliance would not have just ushered in the end of Coinbase, but would have sent Crypto into a dark winter as well.

Contrary to their mission, the SEC's incompetence has ruined investors and crippled innovation.

A prelude to this week's black swan event β€” and why the future will move on with or without the US:
