New Solana Token “Eric Trump” Rises 6,200% Amid Warning Signs

A new Solana token, Eric Trump, surged 6,200% within 24 hours after its launch on May 16, reaching a market cap of $140 million. However, over 80% of the supply is held in just 10 wallets, indicating potential for a sudden collapse.

Key Points

The token's rise raised concerns due to concentration of ownership.
Links to certain insiders suggest risk of significant losses for retail investors.
Cluster analysis revealed connections among top holders, mirroring patterns seen in previous rug pulls like WOLF token.
Over 736 imitation tokens tied to political figures have been created, including 192 using Trump family names.
Recent scams include a hijacked account promoting a fake token linked to UK MP Lucy Powell.
Analysts advise caution with rapidly launched tokens lacking clear backing.
Investors should scrutinize token distribution and be wary of hype-driven investments.

Staying vigilant is crucial as more political meme coins emerge, which increases investment risks.
