Meme coins can indeed mint millionaires, but the process is often fraught with significant risk, and the massive rewards typically favor insiders or traders who time the market perfectly.

Thats especially the case with Solana, which remains a top choice for meme coins like Pippin due to its transaction speed, low fees, and developer tools. Its ecosystem, including DeFi and NFTs, supports liquidity and community growth, while scalability and decentralization make it ideal for speculative projects to thrive.

According to CoinGecko, Solana meme coins have accumulated over $16.6 billion in market cap, with Bonk, Pudgy Penguins, Dogwifhat, ai16z, and Fartcoin gainiing the most attention as of late. All meme coins are valued at over $108 billion.

Pippins price jumped by 13% after the Lookonchain report, and was trading at $0.26 — up by over 4,400% from its lowest level this week.

Still, the risk is that the token may suffer a major reversal. After all, most other Solana meme coins have done just that once the hype ends. WIF, for example, dropped by 67% from its highest level last year, while the ai16z pricehas fallen from its highest level this week.

These crashes can be explained by the Wyckoff Method, which explains how asset prices rise and fall. It starts with the accumulation phase followed by the markup, which is characterized by higher demand and fear of missing out or FOMO. Smart money investors start to exit during the distribution phase, leading to a slump during the markdown phase.
