ANSEM Memecoin Surges 160,000% in One Week on Solana

Digital Asset editor Park Sang-hyuk explained why Solana-based memecoin ANSEM surged approximately 160,000% in one week as of July 4. Park appeared on SamproTV on July 6 and stated that ANSEM, issued by crypto influencer Ansem, saw its weekly growth rate moderate by July 6 compared to July 4, but market attention increased significantly as the token's distribution structure and airdrop method spread through the community in July. Solana-based memecoins face heightened volatility due to concentrated token holdings and distribution mechanisms that can amplify price swings.

ANSEM Token Shows 60% Supply Concentration in Single Wallet

Park stated that approximately 60% of ANSEM's total supply is concentrated in one wallet address, creating a structure where prices can easily surge or plummet. He noted that some observers view ANSEM's airdrop structure—which provides larger distributions to early buyers—as similar to a Ponzi scheme, requiring caution from investors.

Solana Ecosystem Sees Jupiter GUM Beta and RWA Growth

Park stated that while ANSEM contributed significantly to Solana on-chain activation over the past week, expanding the timeframe to one month reveals other positive factors in the Solana ecosystem, including the approaching private beta of Jupiter decentralized exchange's GUM and increasing total value in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. He added that how these Solana ecosystem developments beyond ANSEM's surge unfold will determine SOL price direction in the third quarter.
