Meme coin ANSEM surged 424x in one day, with its market cap approaching $100 million, but the developer holds 60% of the supply, floating a profit of $55.5 million. This mirror reflects the structural issues of the crypto market: KOLs issue their own coins, pump them, and manipulate the market, turning on-chain liquidity into a one-way drain.



The typical script: anonymous KOL Ansem complains.
The Solana ecosystem’s Meme coin factory churns out these stories in bulk: low liquidity, high concentration, heavy pumping, quick in-and-out. In the past, project teams issued coins; now KOLs go direct. Trust is assetized, but trust itself creates no value.

The risk goes beyond price going to zero. More insidious is that these tokens suck up scarce on-chain liquidity—retail funds drain from mainstream assets like ETH and SOL into "stimulus capital" games. Liquidity is consumed in zero-sum battles, harming the ecosystem's depth and stability.

If you participate, at least know this: you’re not buying a project, you’re buying a KOL’s attention. And the shelf life of that attention may be shorter than a single trade.
