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.
