Solana Memecoin Season 2024 event

Event · PageRank 0.0022

Overview

2024 was the year Solana became the dominant venue for memecoin trading. Tokens such as BONK, dogwifhat (WIF) and BOOK OF MEME (BOME) drove enormous volume — WIF reached a peak market capitalisation of about $4.7 billion in March 2024, the highest for a Solana dog-themed memecoin, while BONK built the widest holder base on the chain with more than 800,000 addresses. The launch of Pump.fun in January 2024 industrialised the trend by letting anyone mint and trade a token in under a minute, and it went on to launch millions of tokens and generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. The activity drove demand for SOL, which reached highs around $295 during the 2024-into-2025 run.
