Leading the charge among Solana ($SOL) meme coins is Sealana ($SEAL), which recently surpassed the $3 million mark in its presale.
Sealana is based on a South Park character, known as the “World of Warcraft guy” and recognized for being messy and obese, with a love for junk food.
Originally starting life as a Solana-only coin, Sealana has expanded its reach by becoming multichain. There is now a BNB Chain version of the coin, which can also be purchased on the Ethereum network, thereby widening its appeal across crypto communities.
Regardless of which method of purchase – SOL, ETH or BNB – the token will be airdropped, dispensing with the need for manual claiming.
Sealana’s presale token price is $0.022. The price is fixed for the duration of the presale.
While Solana’s price has dipped by 6.4% to $168.46 over the past week, Solana meme coins are gaining notable traction.
Solama (SOLAMA) has surged 55.5% over the past 24 hours, with two other mammal-inspired meme coins, Cat in a Dogs World (MEW), and Shark Cat (SC) soaring 17.6% and 13.7% respectively.
Notably, in the same timeframe, the market cap of Solana meme coins has risen by 8.4%.
The frenzy around meme coins is indicative of broader interest in decentralized technology and the cryptocurrency industry.
There’s strong anticipation that meme coin mania will persist throughout the summer, especially given the shift in sentiment around April’s Bitcoin halving.
The Solana meme coin community is known for embracing controversial and edgy projects.
Sealana is capitalizing on this trend by tapping into political issues to amplify its American patriotism theme, as seen in the X post below:
